 STARTED
Local Industry Promises to Provide Cheaper
 Material.

Seward and Seattle capital has been secured to launch new enterprise here and announcement is made today that the Seward Brick X Tile Co. will commence operations at once on ground recently leased from the gov ernment north 'f the Laubner tract.
 Estimat cost for production in dicate that the manufacture of brick here will reyolutionize the building in- dustry and enable brick structures to be erected here at a reasonable fig ure.
 John B. Book, Seattle capitalist, John A. Nelson of the Seward Water & Power company and others are in- terested in the new project which is the result of tests that proved the silt deposit covering the bottom of the lagoon north of town to be the fin est pottery clay.
 Nelson will be actively in charge of the concern and it is proposed to turn out brick and art tile as soon as the equipment received from Seattle on the Admiral Farragut and Admiral Watson can be installed.
 The value of the clay was diScOv- cred as the result of investigations made by Nelson following his laying a pipe line across the lagoon last fall. The clay was such sticky stuff that he decided to send a sample outside. It was tested and at once pronounced to be the finest kind of tile clay.
 Frank Harker, an expert in the brick industry, and W. B. Askey a brick setter, arrived on the Admiral Watson last night and will be in charge of the actual work of turning out the finished product.
 Delivery of brick with 40 to 60 days
 Delivery of brick within 40 to 60 days is announced.
 Samples of tile manufactured at Seattle from the local clay are of the finest texture and compare favorably with tile from any part of the coun- try.
