In an interview A. IL. w otney, OF
tho Butte Reduction Works, makes
some interesting statements rela-
tive to smoke in Butte. He says !:
There arc Eve smelling plants sur
rounding Butte City. and at these
smelters together from / 200 to / 500
tons of ore are desulpurized every
"a hours. If we take the smaller
amount, l 200 tons, as the average
quantity roasted every day, then
there would be $50 tons Of sulphur
being discharged into the air. If one
considers it, it is startling fact that
euch quantity of sulphur is being
discharged into the atmosphere in
Butte alone per annum. The value
of this material, when put into
marketable form, is $40 per ton in
New York, 40 that the value Of this
sulphur, if it only could be collect
ed, and laid down in New York,
would amount to 81, 100000 per
annum. In Europe where the con:
ditions under which smelling oper-
atoms are carried on are different,
the amount of material, or by-pro-
duct, going to waste, is reduced to
. minimum There probably, an
attempt would be made to save the
sulphur, which here in Butte il
wasted. The imports of sulphur
into New York average l5O, 900 tons
per annum and this comes princi-
pally from Sicily."-Wsstern Min
