MILL WASTE FOR PAPER.

Use Of Lumber Refuse May Cut Down
Cost Of Product.
Scientists in Washington are deeply
interested il what is believed to be a
means of manufacturing paper from
ground wood, in which the waste of
mills can be used. says a Washington
special dispatch to the Chicago Inter
Ocean. If successful, the plan will
eliminate the cost of wood specially
cut for the manufacture of paper pulp.
The pitch which heretofore inter-
fered with the use Of wood of this
character is overcome in the new proc
ess by so treating the pulp that it
passes of in vapor. and the fiber is
recovered by subjecting the mass to a
system Of pressing.
The very much increased cost of pa
per, which has led many newspapers
to increase their price or resort to the
alternative Of decreasing their size,
has aroused experts to study Of
means to reduce the cost of paper
foundations.
Experiments now in progress lndi-
cate that the system Of using mill
waste can be made a success, Such a
plant is now in operation in vancou-
yer, which has proved success. The
project is backed by a company with
$1,000,O00 Of capital, and the plant
when In complete running order will
have an output of $50 tons of finished
paper a week.
