Details: BURWOOD AND NEWCASTLE FIRE CLAY AND BRICK. WORKS. On the 29th September last, there appear ed in this journal a notice of the discovery at the Burwood coal-mines of a valuable band of fireclay, which, as was then stated, runs parallel with the coal strata through the entire length of the seam. Since the notice referred to appeared, active steps have been ta ken by a gentleman from Sydney, Mr. Hugh to establish works in the vicinity of Newcastle, at which the manufacture of firebricks, tiles, &c, from the clay in question will be permanently carried on. It affords us considerable pleasure to be in a position now to state, that the Burwood and Newcastle Fire, Clay, and Brick Works are an accomplished fact. We yesterday paid a visit to the works, which are owned aby Messrs. Hughes and Drury, and some account of which may not be uninteresting to our readers. The works are situated on an allotment of land between the Junction Inn and the Welsh Chapel at Burwood. The land is the property of Dr. Mitchell ; it is about half an acre in extent, and from . its proximity to the Burwood line of railway, as well as for several other reasons, is admirably adapted for the purpose it. has been leased. The preliminary operations of erecting sheds, mills, etc was proceeded with last month, and on the 5th instant, the actual manufacture of bricks was commenced; The works at present erected comprise a large and commodious drying shed, a powerful crushing mill, and a well of water, the sinking of which involved considerable labour. The drying shed is eighty feet long by seventeen wide, and is capable of holding 15,000 bricks, the quantity which, after the lapse of a short time, Messrs. Hughes and Drury will be able to manufacture weekly. In the course of a few months it is proposed to erect a second shed of similar dimensions to the one just described. The crushing mill consists of an immense block of stone, weighing nearly three tons, which is made to revolve in the shape of a wheel round the outer edge of a massive plate of iron. The clay in its crude state is thrown under the stone and reduced by the crushing process which follows to a condition fit to be worked up into bricks. In the centre of the plate on which the stone re volves, is a sieve into which the crushed clay is thrown. Underneath the sieve is a small pit which receives the clay after it has been sifted, and from whence it is conveyed into the hands of the brick-makers. Before, very long 1 it is the intention of the proprietors to erect a second stone, and to employ steam-power instead of horse-power in the revolution of the pair of stones. The crushing mill is fixed To a shed adjoining the drying shed, and is about thirty feet square. The stones for the mill were obtained from the Waratah stone quarry, and are the largest Mr. Stephens (the owner of the quarry) has yet delivered
