“Last-summer. during July and kugust, the ter made a very vomprehensive udy of the clay re-

It was hoped that deposits of clay would be located which would have the burning properties required for the making of roofing and floor tile. The fine colour developed in burn- ing the clays would be a great ad-

“The results of the tests new un- der way, in Ottawa may indicate material of a quality which would ensure a profitable revival of clay working industries in the province."
