"The application followed a meeting held in the Chest Creek Land and Improve- ment company’s office on August 22d, at which were present Gen. Geo. J. Magee, president Fall Brook Railroad company; (Jol. John Magee, John Lang, president of Chest Creek Land and Improvement company,and Daniel Beach, all of Corning, N. Y.; A. G.

Sandford, cashier First National Bank of Patton, and E. C. Brown, superintendent of Chest Creek Land and Improvement company. The preliniinary arrangements were made and an executive commmittee consisting of E. C. Brown, W. H. Sanc- ford, and F. F. McElfresh were author ‘ized to have the necessary plans pre- . pared, solicit bide, award the contracts ‘and begin the erection of the plant for ‘the Patton Clay Manufacturing Co. This committee in accordance with the instructions of the stockholders im- mediately took the matter in hand and already the foundations for the new in- dustry are well under way and a sewur pipe works that will manufacture ll the other products of fire clay is as- sured for Patton.

This building will | be used for the manufacture and dry-| ing of all the clay products prepara | tory to burning the same. It will be; heated by steam and contain all the | . latest improvements in sewer pipe and fire proofing and other material used | in the manufacturing of clay goods. The manager of the new operation, F. E.

The ergine house and boiler house | will be in separate buil dings and. for | safety the boiler house is disconnec ted | Bids were from the main building proper Contracts for machinery, including all shafting. pullies, belting, etc., have been awarded to J. W. Penfield & Son, of Willoughby, O., who were Pr sented by 8. I. Irwin. They farnmsb all the sewer pipe presses, brick ma. chines, pag mill, dry pans, wet pans elevators, three eighty horse-power boilers, a 150 horse-power engine, feed ‘water heater, pump, ete. The com- pany will begin operations with eight kilns. It will manufacture its own brick as a brick machine is to be put in Loperation at once. The location of the plant ia in the north-west corner of Patton borough, | in the Flannigan run valley, where the Chest Creek Land mui Improvement company has donated ten acres of surface with valuable concessions as to ‘clay and coal. Itis an ideal location for such an industry. The coal and clay being within a few feet of the works reduces the expenses for raw material to a minimum. A railroad siding will be built from the Flannigan run branch and an abundant sopply of water is available. A number of practical clay manufaturers have inspected the location and some have said they con- sidered it the finest location they have ever seen. - The clay is about six feet thick and overlaid with about three feet of coal. This industry in this location has the | advantage of two lines of railroad to 4a § FAC Se a harness on her gntil he fas sent to ALooHA week.

Frugality will soon have a new rail- road station, a building costing $2,000 or more, A correspondent says that the work is now being pushed right along by a strong force of men, and that the side track will be changed and general outside improvements made, none of which comes before needed. The One Great Store, ship over and it begins business with a market already for its products, as Mr. McElfresh is now shipping about 600 cars yearly from his West Virginia Shan, This business will all be brought to the Patton plant and as he considers the clay and the location and natural advantages so much above what they are in West Virginia, he anticipates a much larger trade here. He will aban- don that operation entirely as far as he is concerned and will move his family to Patton and become a resident. ’ "Work Has Commenced. The ground has been broken for the new industry and within thirty days the foundations are to be completed | according to contrict and sixty days from the completion of the foundations the contractors agree under heavy penalty to complete the superstructure or main building proper. Work on the mine will soon be begun, the engine and boilers located and put in place, the kilns erected and within a few months the plant will be in full _operation and furnishing employment. to nearly a hundred men. The advantages to Patton by such a plant located within its borough limits are very great; merchants and business men will derive a direct bene- | fit thereof.
