The present plant of this great intermountain brick company covers an area of fully 135 acres, and the company controls clay deposits aggregating 1,500 acres, lying just east of the big plant and because of this accessibility of material the plant has now grown to a daily capacity of 200,000, including the more common type, used for backing, to the modern ornamental and kinds. The highly glazed big clay deposits are connected up with the plant by a narrow gauge railroad operated by electricity, which conveys tne clay to huge receiving bins, from which bins it is transported to the pulverizing room by means of a ' conveyor belt of ample size. Here it is thoroughly prepared and all extraneous matter extracted and the residue screened before being put through the shaping and moulding presses. The brick pressing machines are of the Boyd type and there is a large battery of these constantly in operation. After the screened clay has been properly mixed and moulded the process is continued by trucking the raw clay bricks to the big firing kilns, where they are neatly stacked and the burning process takes place. It requires from seven to twenty-si- x days to finished the produce product, according to the character of brick desired. The company has in use both the single run and the continuous types of furnaces. Six new kilns were added this year, to be used exclusively for the higher grades, owing to the brisk demand, for these better brick" that has been developed in this section, mainly through the efforts of the sales force of the Salt Lake concern. Bricks for every purpose and in all varieties of colors and shades are made by this company, the character of the brick being controlled largely by the process of firing.
