ors to suit the wants of the trade This list probably does not include the full line of the company's products. but will give q fair idea of the kind of business it proposes to conduct
 As stated, every dollar is local capi- tai and there is plenty of it for the needs of the company. The only man connected with the company not wei! known locally is Alex. R. Bailey, the general manager. who has the con struction and operation of the plant directly in charge. Though a com paratively new man here Mir Batley has become a resident of the valley to stay, to invest his money and to make success of the Alhambra Brick & Tile company. That he can and will do so is as certain as any thing human can be. MT. Batley is native of England and has devoted a long and successful career to no other business Moreover. his an cestors in the old country have been clay workers as far back as the fam fly genealogy runs In speaking of his knowledge of the business yester- day. he said he was born with brick in each hand and has carried one in each hand the greater part Of the time ever since. The only time ne has not spent in making brick was in the making of brick making ma chinery. having been connected with the American Clay Machinery com pany of Bucyrus and Willoughby. Ohio. in various responsible positions for the last twenty-three years.
 That company has plants at both Bucyrus and Willoughby. making some kinds of machinery in one and other kinds in tine other. All their engineers are practical clay workers as well as builders. which fact has made the company's success Mir Bailey at one time and another has sold the machinery of this company in almost every civilized country in the world. and has had charge of various brick-making plants. many of which he found in bad condition and all of which he put on a profitable basis before he left them He is a whole souled. good natured and ener- getic man who recognizes no such thing m his business as failure. Some months ago he was interested in the local enterprise and after careful in- vestigation decided to take hold of it, run 1t and identify himself with this community and valley. the pros poets of which appeal to him. as they do to every man of capital and ex- perience who takes the trouble to in- vestigate. His very first move was to order a complete new manufactur- ing plant of the the sort he knows will work, for he has been guiding them and using them for years
 Ground has been broken for a new building to house the machinery. 50x7S feet in size. and 40 feet high. It will be equipped with a 10O- horsepower motor. and the building will be lighted and all the machinery operated by which will be bought of the government and transformed to the voltage needed. The machinery ture. 15x27. will adjoin the new build ing and will be fitted up for a ma chine shop. with all the tools and accessories needed in that department.
 A railroad track will run from the big clay pit. a few rods away. on an incline to the rear of the second story. to which the clay will he hoistcd by a winding drum into side dump cars It will be dumped into gravity bins. whence it will he fed to the grinding machin- erv. It will then be elevated to the screening machine at the top Of the second floor. forty feet high, thence passing to the brick making machine. the clay after dumping being never touched again until it emerCes as finished brick. There will be equip nent for making brick Iy the dry process. the semi-dry process and the wire cut brick will he dried both naturally and artificially. From the lryers the brick will be taken to the Hoffman kiln and burned, and the pressed brick from the dry press ma chine will go direct to the Kiln. as they vill need no drying
 The grinding machine is the dry pan process. the clay being crushed md screened under nulleTs which weigh 4600 pounds each. the total weight of the grinder being 27.oOO pounds The clay is then elevated to the agitating clay mixer and feeder.
