REFUSE CONSUMED.
The New Burner OF the Rock Island
Lumber & Manufacturing Com.
pany-..Mode Of Working.

At various times for two months past
the ARGUS has mentioned the refuse bur>
ner in course of erection by the Rock ISL
and Lumber g. Manufacturing company
in this city. Now that the immense
structure is completed and in operation,
a full description of it and its manner of
working may be interesting.
The burner is located on the river bank,
some two hundred feet from the A mill.
1t is 81 feet in diameter; 80 feet high to
the hood, which makes the top of the
structure 10 feet from the ground. The
outside or surface is covered with boiler
iron, while the interior is composed of
brick--l00,000 fire brick and 10000
other brick being used. The bottom is
covered with grating and CRATE bars, be-
meath which the fuel is used. The top
or hood is net work of wire
The refuse is conveyed to the burner as
it falls from the saw by an inlet chain 100
feet long. Besides this 1000 feet of end
1ess chains run throughout the mill, con,
stantly conveying the refuse to the burns
er where it is consumed. The burner is
operated day and night, and the offal
conveyed TO it is therefore being con-
stantly consumed.
The new institution is not saving to
the mill company, as many have been led
to believe. On the contrary it is an ex-
pense, and great expense, the cost be>
ing about $4,000. The only saving lies
in the removal of the refuse, shavings,
etc. , as fast as it falls from the saw, and
more room is had in consequence. Here's
tofore the mill has been at
the expense of hauling this
material in wagons; the new process
saves this, besides consuming the
offal as fast as it is made. whereas, a
large number of wagons could never keep
up with the mills deposit,
The greatest trouble has been, as to
what to do with the refuse-where to
haul il. While it is excellent fuel, coal
is in such abundance and so cheap that
people don't feel like purchasing this stuff,
and even if they did, it would take much
larger city than Rock Island to consume
what these mills deposit during the runs
nlng season. In st. Louis or Chicago,
the refuse is worth 5000 per annum to
the MILL Here it is waste and great
expense.
If the new arrangement proves a sues
cess, chain will be laid connecting the
b mill with the burner. also. At present
the refuse is carried from this mill in
wagons.
The quantity daily consumed by the
, burner is not known, but it is thought il
will be sufficient to prevent the offsl from
accommodating aboutahe mill yaris.
II is an enterprising venture on the
part of the Lumber company, and it is tC
be hoped they will meet with success.
Similar burners are now working suc>
cessfully in Muscatine and Clinton, ant
at Weyerhauser & Denkman's mill in thi:
city. Although the one belonging to th'
Lumber company is perhaps larger thai
. any of these.

Visitors,

Two distinguished visitors to the city
today were Fish Commissioner Aldrich
and DR., Sigworth, of Anamosa, Iowa.
The gentlemen, after admiring the beau>
ties of this city. went up to Moline, and
then on the island.
In regard to his duties as fish commits
sioner Mr.. Aldrich said he was maxi ing an
active warfare upon all culprits who
were disodeying the fish laws. A man
named L. A. McGee had just been
fined $50 and costs at Lyons, and people
on the Illinois shore had complained to
him about one links, who, though living
in Iowa, confined his depredatious TO this
state He has no jurisdiction in the mat
ter. but has notified Commissioner Bait
lett, who will make it decidedly lively
for links il he does not desist from his
unlawful occupation. Sheriff Reticker
made several important arrests last year
of persons who were fishing with seines
inthis neighborhood and the practice is
not INDUCED in as freely as of yore
