Then ‘immediately uorth Aud adjoinâ€" ing the Durham Road on the same elevation is the farm of Ex Mayor Hanoter. Ithink also his farm is largely clay bed. |_ Three miles from the Cement Switch, east of the town in the Firth swamp N. D.

Immediately south of the Darbam Road, and extending from the gully | to the John McGowan mill will be ' found an immense clay cliff, and apâ€" parently ofgreatde‘?th. I bave seen this clay dug down for about ten feet, | clay all the way, and the top of the cliff rises to an eleyvation of over a handred and fifty feet above the leyâ€" el of the cement plant. It this is the | correct clay theo it is a big find. At ]flrsc it will be a difficult matter to || make the people of the town believe | that this is clay, asthey have been C in the habit ot thinking of it such a | long series ot years, as fairlv good 1 surtace soil for eroppinrg, comprised | ; of a buge gravel bed o subsoil!, this @lay is different in color from the $ Stratford clay, the latter being a > blue clay and this one being a b.own / clay. weathering on exposure to a | lig ht brown.

I examined the pit, and found it to be a cliff with a base of about filly teet in depth. ‘The removing ot this certainly was easy, compared with what the plant here had to encounter and if the quality was so poor, and suited the purpose as well, then each of those two plants must kaye got: \heir clay delivered at their works for | one third or one fourth of what the | ciay cost delivered at the works here. With keen competition now facing us in all directions we have to get the raw material as cheaply as it can be bad. Otherwise we may be liable to be outflanked in the market, with our finished product. For instance Port Colborne plant have their clay and their rock close to their works, the same appries to Ss Marys Plant, and International plant at Hall, with navigable waters added to the latâ€" ter, and at Hanover they bhave the warlhand clay close to the works. Facts like these we must not take lightly or overlook, but meet the sitâ€" uation fairly and squarely as it preâ€" sents itself to us. We have the clay here in abundance the question natâ€" urally arises, is it the right clay, it|! looks in appearance like the Port|] Clolborne, Owen Sound and Hanoyer | clays. | ‘to full capacity the rail freig bt charges on the clay were in excess ’ol $11.000, if 6 to 8 thomsand of this sim could be eliminated by getting near to the plant, then it is worthy of making a special effort by way of preliminary investigation. â€" The clay we haye been getting from the Stratâ€" ford district is good clay, and flls the bill all right, but outside of freigbt charges, from a manual labâ€" or stand point was very expensive to handle because cfits being so shallow in depth, the uncovering and ‘ constansy of moving the rail bed. Dear Sir, I stated in my last letter that 1 left the clay and sand in abeyâ€" ance. I now take it up. In eonrection with the operation of a cement plant the question of getting clay as close as possible to the plantis an importâ€" ant consideration. ‘The quantity of clay to make up the mix varies, but is usually estimated to be about 25%, or about one fourth of the mix.
