ANOTHER NEW
ELY INDUSTRY.
McMAHAN LUMBER COMPANY
START THEIR DUNTILE
FACTORY WEDNESDAY.

Another industry was added to
the growing list of Ely institutions
Wednesday morning when the Nc
Mahan Lumber Company began the
manufacture of Duntile Products at
their factory erected west of the
city the past few months at cost
of approximately $4,000 and at
which a force of four and more
men will be employed.
This is the first factory of its
kind to be built on the ranges and
the need for the products insures
for the institution a demand which
will keep the factory in steady OPP
Grafton all the year round. Dun
tile is a new product to this coun-
try and is meeting with popular
the place of brick in the building
world. So far, forms are on hand
for five sizes and more will be added
as the trade will demand.
The tile are manufactured by a
machine known as the Duntile Auto
matte Tile Machine capable of turn
ing out 1900 per day. Four parts
of sand and one of cement are used
in the manufacture with water
enough to give it moisture sufficient
to hold the mass together after I'M
dergoing the monstrous pressure of
the machine. The tile are then
seasoned for about a week under
steam pressure after which they are
capable of withstanding a weight of
1000 lbs. to the square inch. A
machine for glazing is also installed
for facing the products where re-
quired.
j. H. Bagley of Holland, Mich
igan, factory representative, has
been here this week erecting the
machinery for the plant. Under his
efficient direction, the motor, the
mixer, the elevator bucket, the glaz-
er and other machines CT the plant
worked smoothly when the power
was turned on and the work Of
turning out tile begun. Enough Of
the tile will be turned out at once
to erect the building and seasoning
room at the plant. Workmen are
now putting in extra switches and
tracks in the seasoning yard for the
small trucks of the plant and a
switch track has been quilt in from
the Duluth & Iron Range main line
for the sand which is secured from
Biwabik.
The McMahan Lumber Co. make
the claim, substantiated by Mr.. Bag
ley, that these tile will save the
builder 40 per cent over brick at
the same time being of greater ten
sile strength and absolutely fire.
