As they pressed inland from Mount McKinley, Mr. Brooks states, August 

 U4 was marked by an encounter with a white man and a hand of Indians, "the 

 first human beings we had seen in nearly three months," and a few days 

 later the party emerged from the forest on the south bank of the Xanana at 

 the small native settlement of Tortella, or Nenana. "To the natives the 

 arrival of white men from the mountains seemed little short of miraculous." 

 The great hazards of the trip had now been overcome, yet the record states 

 that in covering an ensuing 30 miles the difficulties of travel occupied the ener- 

 gies of the entire party for eight days, as streams had to be bridged, forded 

 and rafted, and even corduroy trails built. Within six days five different 

 bridges were constructed and six rivers were rafted. On the 15th of Sep- 

 tember the party reached Rampart and the next morning boarded a river 

 steamer bound for St. Michael. 



SAND-LIME BRICK. 



The sand-lime brick industry has developed rapidly in the United States. 

 It began in 1901 at Michigan City, Ind., with one plant producing only a 

 few thousand bricks, which was followed shortly by a plant at Wilmington, 

 X. C. In 1903 there were sixteen plants in operation, which marketed a 

 product valued at $155,040. From this small beginning the number of operat- 

 ing plants and the value of the product increased steadily until 1907, when 

 94 operating plants reported an output valued at $1,225,769. These figures 

 are the highest yet recorded in the industry. In common with other industries, 

 the manufacture of sand-lime brick fell off considerably in 1908. In 1909, how- 

 ever, there was a small increase, and 1910 bids fair to exceed the record of 

 1907. This industry is now firmly established and will probably show steady 

 growth. 



This industry was started in the nineties in Germany where there are now 

 280 plants in operation. In places where brick clay is not found and where 

 sand and lime can be easily procured these bricks can be made cheaper than 

 ordinary clay bricks. In 1902 the German government purchased nine million 

 bricks of this kind for constructing army buildings, at a saving of $20,000 

 over the cost of clay bricks. 



The United States Geological Survey has just published a report by Jeffer- 

 son Middlcton on the production of sand-lime brick in 1909, an advance chap- 

 ter from the Survey's volume. "Mineral Resources of the United States, Cal- 

 endar Year 1909." The pamphlet can be obtained free by applying to the 

 Director of the Survey at Washington, D. C.
