An Inexhaustible Supply cf Pure Sulphate in Wyoming. - A New Industry That Promise to Make the American Market In dependent of Foreign ' Concerns. I By the opening up of the vast nat ural soda deposits of Wyoming an other industry is to be added to the rapidly growing -list in which . the United States can outstrip the world. Nature's laboratory, which is working underground, and without a pay roll, is turning out an inexhaustible sup ply of pure sulphate of soda which is the base of a large number of by-products that are used in one form or an other in almost every sort of manufac ture and in every household in civiliza tion. Nature's product is one stage nearer the point of consumption than is the manufactured article. Over 70 per cent, of the latter consumed in this country is imported and practically all cf the remaining 30 per cent, is made in factories that are branches of the foreign establishments. The quantity thus far taken from the deposits is not sufficient to supply a small fraction of the g-lass makers of the Indiana gas belt alone, though the latter can use it at an immense saving over the man ufactured and- can turn cut a better quality of glass. The elimination of the expensive processes of manufac ture puts the native soda in a position not only to command the American markets, but ultimately to pay for ex porting it to the very countries . from which the American supply is now com ing. Despite the fact that only a be ginning has been made on the home trade there is every indication that its rise from an infant industry, to a point where it can command the world will be very rapid. To accomplish this re nult the native soda must supplant the 400,000 tons of soda ash used by the window and plate glass makers of this counfry each-year, and then take care of the immensely greater demands of the baking powder, soap, saleratus, washing crystal, sal soda, concentrated lye, pulp, glucose, smokeless gunpow der and match manufacturers, and also the tanners, bleachers, woolen mill men, dyers, packers, printers, pho tographers, starch makers and a host of other users outside of the medicinal. All of these demands and immeasurable quantities more can be supplied from the three lakes or beds' lying 11 miles south west of Laramie, and which comprise the bulk of the deposits, in workable quantities, of the state. These depos its are known as Red lake, Track lake and Big lake, and are fed by countless, springs which constantly replenish the supply as fast as it is drawn upon. These deposit contain 44 per cent, of pure sulphate of soda, a trifle less than 54 per cent, of water and about two per cent, of other matter, chiefly car bonate of soda and chloride of sodium, or common salt. All that is necessary, it is said, to put the product on the market is to eliminate the moisture. It can be sold throughout America at an immense profit, even at the lowest fig ures ever quoted here, though the oranches of the foreign factories lave frequently sold their output be ,ow the cost of production to freeze out the small American establishments that have been started in opposition to them within the last 50 years. The soda properties have always proven immensely profitable, and great efforts have been made by the English and German makers to keep compet itors out of the field. The largest of the English concerns, which also con trols the largest concern in this coun try, has paid dividends of 35 to 50 per cent, to its shareholders ever since it was organized. The American branch pays even larger profits, but its shares are closely held, and no information concerning the profits ever reaches the public. The base product of the arti ficial article is salt or salt water, which, after reduction to the form of sulphate of soda, must be clarified by expensive' processes before it -can be used- for many of the purposes for which it is intended. Before it can be used for making plate glass the iron, which all salt contain, and which the ammonia or leading artificial process does not eliminate, must be removed by the in troduction of one part of arsenic to nine of sulphate. The arsenic alone costs at the rate of $75 per ton. The native soda, having no impurities, makes a much clearer as well as stronger and tougher glass, and it is even claimed that it is better than the French plate. The Laramie deposits, which are the purest as well as the most accessible in the-state, passed into the control of one of the largest firms of importers of heavy chemicals west of New York several years ago. and this firm recent ly transferred its holdings to a Chicago corporation, which is preparing to vastly increase the output bj- tht erec tion of a plant capabla cf turning out 1,200 tons of product per day. The ex treme limit of the plant now on. the ground is 150 tons per day. Golden Eagle Bicycle. Golden Eagle bicycles $25.
