Bricks from Gold Mine Dumps,

It is believed that at last the mine damps will be turned to commer cial use in the manufacture of bricks, according to The South African Mining and Engineering Journal. Some time ago Mr. W. Ingham, chief engineer to Rand Water Board, caused to be sent oversea, for testing in build- inge, hermetically sealed samples of sand from the dumps of the George Goch, Ferreira and Robin- son Deep Mines, together with quantities of white and blue lime from the Northern Lime Company and the Ventersdorp Company. The sands were first freed from all trace of cyanide. Mr. W. Amolt, engineer, of Glasgow, took these samples of sand and lime to the Continent and there personally Inspected the process. As a result, samples of bricks, have reached Johannesburg, and it is claimed that they are as satisfactory as faced bricks at a low cost. They are hard, and grey-white-in colour. They have been inspected with great interest, and a company has been formed. It is stated that 56,000 of these bricks can be turned out per diem at a cost of 276, 6d/ per 1,000. In his report Mr. Arnott says the bricks are: better than the best clay bricks, and are justly known as hard bricks.
