A company of capitalists, Charles Croker
of San Francisco being the leader, will
open one of the largest asDhaltum mines
III the world on the Sisquoc river soon at
point near Los Alamos. 1t is proposed
to build a fine new wharf at a place near
or at Point Sal for the transportation
point of the asDhaltum and the removal
of the same from the mines to the wharf
is TO be one of the greatest undertakings
of its kind in history. The mines are 40
miles from Point Sal and the company
intends laying two lines of four-inch pip
ing the entire distance from the mines
TO the wharf. Then at the mines the
crude asohaltum will be licuefed and
forced through one line of pipe TO the
wharf, where = reducing plant is to be
located. There it will be reduced until ii
is pure. The pure aSDhaltum will be
placed in barrels and shipped, while the
extracted matter. or as much of it as
may be useful. will be forced back
through the second line of pipe to the
mines.
