Nov We must step outside 10 follow the journey o.
the cane Juice. Il Is conducted 70 the clarifies b
long trench. or rather. as there are three houses
there Is quite network Of trenches these eout1ir
the steam Idpcs, juice pipes condensed steam
pipes and cold water pipes, and arc 50 arranged
that, in the event Of any ono Of the houses boom
ing uufit for use, the pipes can Be at once con
nected with any other house that may DO desired
and even, in case OF tho destruction OF the two pan
houses, with the s'oid MILL The trenches have
galvanized iron rooss, with glazed openings here
and there to permit general supervision.

With each OF the three mills. is connected clar-
flying house; these arc nearly the size tho
mill buildings and are fitted somewhat differently
to those in ordinary use. There aru, at tho upper
end Of lofty hall, two juice tanks, each 5x1ox5
feet four CHARTERS, 5x24x2 feet and four sweeping
pans, 5xe012 feet A continuous stream is kept up
from one set Of receivers 10 the next, there IS no
cessation and II Is in this that tho system differs
from that employed in other mills. BY this means,
the juice retains its heat throughout there being
no cooling while ladling from one pau 10 the other.
The liquor finally reaches two clarified juice tanks.
5xl5x33 feet, from whence it is pumped iuto the
triple effects here it is boiled with the condcsed
steam. And in this place, we may mention that
Throughout the works there is the most perfect
economy Of steam; none IS allowed to escape
When the exhaust steam has done its work, IL is
condensed, and the water so obtained is returned
20 a reservoir, whence It Is again thrown into the
boilers and starts afresh its powerful mission.
Now We are approaching the end Of the story.
Leaving the clarifying houses. We go across 10 the
twelve and ten foot
Pan HOUSES.
On the way Mr. Moore, the superintendent, lifts
q trap door and calls attention TO deep we'll which
is sunk to the sea level. There three Of these
wells in addition 10 the large reservoir; two wells
supply the triplo effect and the mill engines, the
third is reserved for the ten and twelve foot pans
When the mills arc all working, 1000 gallons of
water per minute are required
ssaNs f.TsafA
ing, and is devoted entirely to the manufacture Of
No. sugar, the ten foot pan houses taking charge
Of the lower grades Now, Mr.. Editor, you must
prepare 70 mount to tho sky parlor,' and away
far behind. He suggested two steps az time as
the easiest method of progressioni we tried it, but
we should not recommend anyone who has not
gone through course Of training with the mem-
bers Of tina Alpine Club to take Mr. Moore's ad-
vice. However, we reached the top, at last, and
were we'll rewarded by the sight of exquisite
piece of workmanship. The twelve foot vacuum
pan is picture, beautifully finished, even TO the
minutest details 1t IS the work Of Messrs, Seely
Co., New York Within. arc 20 coils, four inches in
diameter. From this are taken one single strike
and ono cut strike Of sugar per day. On this
floor are also nine tanks which receive the juice
from the CHARTERS; these are each 5Kl0Ij feet.
There is also very fine cir pump with COM
pound cylinders. Down stairs arc the mixers,
huge affairs capable Of holding about 20 tons.
Another story down and wo have the oentrifu-
gals, eight of Hepvorth's new patent, drying 900
pounds Of sugar at charge. This is almost the
eud OF the journey. From the oentrifugals, the
sugar shoots down into the sugar room; here men
shovel the sweet mass into an elevator which con-
meets with the packer, and in few seconds It Is
bagged, sewn up and ready for shipment. Within
fifteen minutes OF the conclusion Of strike, every
thing is completed ana tho gang are ready TO go
TO another part Of the mill 70 begin their labnrs
aGresh. The molasses IS received in four tanks,
from which il is pumped TO tho ten foot pan house.
This building is similar in ttings 10 the house Just
described, save that No. and sugar is allowed
TO stand in cooling wagons for awhile, and door
is specially fitted with rails to allow the wagons
10 be run in almost any direction.
