THE KARTHAUS FIRE BRICK WORKS.
—Not since old man’ Peter Karthaus came
to’ this country ‘and built his’ iron farnace
at Karthaus,, on the line. between Centre
and Clearfield counties, has there been such
industrial activity in that little: village ‘on
the north branch of the Susquehanna river’
as there is now, since the new fire brick
plant at that place has been: in operation.
‘The works were started up on August 3rd
and the brick manufactured. are of excel-
lent quality.
The Kartbhaus Fire Brick company was
organized last December with a capital
stock of $150,000. It'is the owner of six
laid with an almost inexhaustible supply
of bard and soft fire clay of a superior qual-
ity. In addition to this the company has
perpetual leases on about four hundred
acres of land underlaid with olay, the veins
of ‘the hard ‘material ranging from 3 to 3}
feet in thickness and the J8oft olay veins
from 5 to 6, feet. Most of | fhe land is un-
derlaid with coal of an unexcelled: quality
for steam purposes and the burning of
brick. These lands are located from a mile
and a, half to three miles from Karthaus,
where the brick plans is located. 4
The plant itself is one of ‘the most’ mod-
ernly constructed in the State. Tt includes
a main manufacturing building, 70x210
feet in dimensions, with an annex of 70 x-
80 feet, with windows in the comb for the
admission. of light and the escape of heat.
A slate roof and a conerete drying floor with
capacity for 35, 000 nine inch brick, inlaid
| with No. 1 sewer pipe for the distribution
of steam, a boiler and. engine house 45x65
fees constructed of brick, a blacksmith
shop 20x30 feet, a pattern making shop,
two-storied, 95x55 feet, a brick shed 35x-
245 feet with a capacity for storing 3,000,
000. brick, four flash wall kilns fully com-
plete and six more under - process of con-
struction of 35,000 capacity each. A stand-
ard guage railroad four-filths of a. mile in |
length, connecting the plant with the N.
Y. C. & H. R. railroad, ‘a narrow guage |
tram road, permanently built a mile and
three-quarters in. length, connecting the
plans with the coal and olay mines on; the
line of which. is: a ‘pair of scalés and scale
house, buildings all painted a light slate
color, a 250 horse-power engine wish two

dry pan and all other machinery entirely:
new, that is necessary for the manufacture
of high grade fire brick as well’ as a new
locomotive of large size to convey the: clay
and coal from the mines.
Later in the fall an electric light Diane
will be installed for the purpose of lighting
the plant ‘by electricity. The entire out-
put of the plant will be exclusively hand
