Room on Puget Sound for Profitable
Industry.


Industry.
Mount Vernon Post.
a gentleman who lives in Mount vernon
and who has made q study of chemistry,
has been experimenting for some months
with a view of determining the value OF
the fir tree as a turpentine and resin pro-
Queer. The results OF his experiments
were so satisfactory that the possibilities
OF the turpentine manufacturing industry
here seem TO be perfectly astonishing.
He first demonstrated that the sap from
the fir tree ran freely. He secured a
quart or so, and then carefully distilled
part OF il. The result was splendld
quality of tarpentine and an equally eN-
cellent product of resin, both or which
are commercial products of value. In
New York turpentine is quoted at . cents
per gallon. in Seattle 4s cents. Resin
sells for about cents pound iii New
York and reiails ar cents here. About
% per cent. of crude turpentine as II
comes from the tree is resin and . per
cent. is spirits of turpentine. The process
of distiilatien is extremely simply, and
the cost of an outfit comparatively small.
The profits OF the business are immense,
and the fact that turpentine - only pro-
duced In one section OF the United states
and that that section furnishes nearly all
that is used in the world, and further
that that supply is nearly exhausted gives
increased emphasis TO the value of the
experiments here.
The Post has hunted up former resi-
dent of the Caroiinas, who kindly fur
nishes us with few facts relative 10 the
manner in which turpentine is made. and
something about the cost and pront or
the business. This gentleman says that
in the districts where pine suitable for
turpentine is found that negroes do al
most the entire work. \ mule and
cart, still costing say $3.50. and very
few tools constitute the OUTFIT necessary.
An additional mule and cart is required
for every forty acres. From sixty 10
ninety days every spring is needed TO
gather the crop. and the services OF from
two to four darkies. Each tree is boxed
and .'scarfed." That process costs s. 20
per hundred and a negro can box twenty
five to forty trees in day. negro
goes around with a cart and collects the
sap and hauls it TO the still. The barrels
are made at home mostly by the negroes
at odd hours. The labor for a forty-acre
farm does not come to more than $3.50
and the barrels $500, so that 500 covers
the actual cost outside of interest or rent
and overseeing. The product that the
forty acres produces sells for from $4,000
TO $1,000.
There are a number of things to take
into consideration in comparing the prob
able cost here. Labor would be higher
here and the cost of roads TO drive into
the woods much greater. On the other
hand the trees stand forty 10 100 times
as thick here, and that fact would tend
to make handling the sap cheaper.
Logged-off timber would doubtless be as
good or better than the more dense new
timber, for the loggers always leave
many small and imperfect trees, which
would be suitable for tapping. and the
thinning out OF the loggers would make
road building easier.
