1'iihH. Tho purjwo of the company
Is the development and exploitation
of the lithin waters at Ashland.
Tho lithin spring nro located' near
Ashland. Mr. Hell is pioprietor of
tho Nash hotel. .Mr. Schmitt is mi
expert necountnnt. Oeorfjo Soran
son has been receiver of the Golden
Drift alining Co.
During the pn..t six months dovel
opment work on the springs has been
prosecuted and that on the "Pompa
dour Chief" spring, which hns n flow
of approximately twenty-five gallons
per minute, a modem concrete pub
lie spring house and bottling plant
with a wooden superstructure, has
been completed nnd approved and
modem bottling tquipment hns been
ordered and will be iustullid immedi
ately upon orrfwil.
Similar to Saratoga
Mr. Schmitt Mines that the devel
opment is of more than local interest
on uccount of tho chnrneter of tho
water nnd the condition under which
it is obtained. He mi id the waters
belong to the ulknlino group of min
eral waters and aic similar to the
Snratogu Springs nnd tho famous
springs of Weisbadeu and Nniiheiiu,
(Icrmany. Further, that those waters
nro richer in lithium content in their
natural state than anv known potable
mineral waters in tho world. Also,
that oUtside of Saratoga Springs,
where tho State of New York has
taken over nnd made n stnte reser
vation, thohii springs nic the only
ones known in the United States
where it is possible to develop the
cm bun dioxide baths which has made
the Old World famous.
In addition to tho waters, the flow
of natural caibunic ucid gas exceeds
10,000 pounds per day nnd is 07.8
per" cent pure. There is an extensive
market for this pioduct, and outside
of Saratoga Springs, N. Y there is
no other known place in tho United
Slutes where this gns has been shown
to exist in sufficient quantity to mar
ket the same commercially. It is pro
posed to install equipment in tho near
future for the Ihitiifnctinn of this gns
nnd market tho same. Tho natural
product fa conceded to bo fur super
ior to the ninnnrnclured gns, com
manding n higher price, costing less
also to produce, nnd this industry
promises to develop a tremendous
business.
Anllumy IIHalucd
Mr. Schmitt stated that Chnrlos (I.
Anthony, consulting engineer for tho
state icorvutiou commission at Sar
atoga Springs, N. Y., nn authority
on mineral waters and Carbonic neid
gns, has been retained us consulting
engineer by this company, and that
he will visit Ashland during the pies
cut month to supervise the installa
tion of machinery and advise in (he
further development of .the springs.
Ashland, recognising the value of
her great variety of mineral waters,
is now spending the proceeds of n
$17,1,001) bond issue in developing the
city as a health report, "Tho Cnils
bad of America," and In enlarging
and beautifying tho parks.
