Another accident happened the
blow pit at the Sulphite mill the other
day When the tub was completed
and before the iron hoops or bands
were put on, they thought to test it
and opened up the blow valve from the
digesterS and the stock battering
against the tub soon made hole clear
through the side. These slaves were
replaced, the tub properly banded and
the inside lined with copper where the
stock strikes the sides, and now every
thing is satisfactory. The stock comes
out of the digeStorS with such force
that the pressure against the tub is
about so pounds pressure to the square
inch.
