Mining for Soap.

Natural soap mines are the latest
discovery in the northwest. Consul
General John Bittinger at Montreal
writes to the state department that
several soda lakes have been found
in the foothills near Ashcroft. British
Columbia. Their bottoms and shores
are incrusted with natural washing
compound containing boraX and soda.
Tests prove the substance to be equal
to the washing powders in common
use Trial by blacksmiths and farm
hands shows that 1t will remove
grease and dirt quicker than soap. A
syndicate of British Columbia men
has been formed to put the product on
the market. About 275 tons of the
material have been cut and taken
from the lake.
1t is handled precisely as ice is
handled. The blocks are more than
nine inches in thickness, are sawn
into pieces of fifteen by eighteen
inches and weigh fifty pounds each.
1t is estimated that this lake alone
contains 10000 tons, indicating that
the industry, if successful, will reach
large proportions.
