NEW PROCESS
IS NOT PATENTABLE
Hammond Co. Disappointed
Sage Brush Won't be
as Profitable.
NEW PHASE CAUSED TROUBLE
Wood Alcohol and Acetic Acid Found
To Be Most Profitable in
Discovery

The Hammond promoters Of the sage
brush enterprise in which it Is esti-
mated that a fortune can be made from
the distillation of the ashes of this
desert weed for the purpose of recover
ing the acetic acid. wood alcohol potash
and other by-products have been COM
PEELED to start out on a new tack.
1t has been discovered that the process
of distillation is not patentable except
as to the manner in which potash is
secured and consequently the patentees
will not get nearly as much out of the
company as was at first expected.
1t was at first planned to give them
a large percent of the stock as a royalty
on their patent but now that anybody
has legal right to use the process, if
they can discover what it is the other
members of the company do not believe
they are warranted in giving the pat
entees such a liberal allowance of the
stock
Company Has Its Troubles.
For several weeks it was feared that
the discussions which arose over this
phase of the matter would disrupt the
company but the affair has finally been
settled and the promoters are going
ABOUT the organization of the company
and the building of the plant.
Mr.. Shea and Mr.. Thomas discovered
that, contrary to their original ideas of
the matter, the products of greatest
value which are to be secured from the
distillate are the acetic acid and the
wood alcohol rather than the potash
which was represented to be the prin-
cipal product.
This being the case, and 1t having
been discovered that there is a large
profit to be derived from the produc-
ton of these chemicals, the local men
will go on with the organization of
company.
MIR. Thomas Has Power of Attorney.
If the patentees agree to assign their
patent for the production of the potash
to the company that viii make an ad-
ditfonal product to be derived from the
sage mrush and will of course make
the business just that much more profit
able.
Mr.. Thomas has been given the
power of attorney to go ahead with
the organization of the company while
Mr.. Shea is in New York and the an
nouncement of the names of the in
corporators and the first officers will
soon be made.
