TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16. 1054 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, ORFfiON PAGE THRU Abrasive fSriddle Bricks Cut From Scoria At Newell By RL'TH KING I TULELAKE Whipped up froth of obsidic lava, violemly ejected In some early volcanic action on Glass Mountain, 16 miles south of here Is sorubbing stove grills In restaurants and coffee shops round the world. Abrasive griddle bricks, used by iry cooks to scour cooking sur faces in public eating places, are being turned out by the ireight car loads by tne United States Pumice .Supply Company. Inc., at iseweii, one of the largest opera' tions of its kind In the U.S. Phil Park, owner of the Park Motel here is manager. Company headquarters are in Los Angeles. Blue prints for the business may originate in some plush olfice but the "down to pumice" operation has been developed by hardy men who fight a truck up rugged slopes to the mines to dig scoria out with picks and crow bars. Loading operations are accom plished with a heavy open steel basket operated on a caterpillar tractor. Mining operations contin ue during the spring, summer and fall, with trucks hauling big loads of the porous lightweight material to the factory. ; Hundreds of acres of scoria, spread in a layer from six inches to 20 feet deep down the mountain side, is still waiting to be used, making the Class Mountain strata one of the largest in the U.S. All major deposits of scoria are found on the West Coast. The varied sized chunks of tie irotny substance are aumped in the holding yard to later travel on a moving belt to the sawyers, who are guarded against eve and akin damage by goggles and neo- prene gloves. Two circular saws, with carbor undum bands fused to steel, cut the scoria into bricks; about 1000 per day are turned out. The bricks, travel on rollers to a dry tng kiln where warm air is cir culated for 24 hours. Rough edges are then rubbed off, ' they are weighed to meet specifications for three sizes and packaged under Orillmaster and Modoc brands. East coast trade demands the heavier, harder grade of bricks while west coast purchasers use the lighter. Bricks are clamped in a cast aluminum holder during use. The cutting surface of scoria is sharply abrasive and it has no odor as in synthetic abrasives which have a sulphuric binding agent. Scoria cuts grease and grime more rapidly and lasts long er than other cleaning agents used for griddles. The larger bricks retail for 15 cents. Small sizes are slightly low er and rejects sell for a nickel, - Farmers use rejects for cleaning rust from farm machinery and tools, women have discovered that corns and callouses disappear, with a whisk of scoria on damp ened skin and painters uee it to scrub hardened paint Irom sur faces. About 85 per cent of the ma terial brought down from the mountain is wasle and huse piles of it have accumulated about the plant. Occasionally a carload of waste is shipped to a .winery or vinegar factory to be used for filtering purposes. Scoria once came from Italy in dust form but Importations from that country have practically ceased since deposits have been found in the mountains of the West Coast and in lesser degree in Utah and Arizona. A new section for mining was opened this fall on Class Moun tain. Pumice and scoria from local deposits have been put to Com- :'!.
