none of the California veins compare
we'll in size with the reported width
of the Hungarian veins. In quality,
however, the comparison with the for
eign material is favorable; in fact, the
California article is ordinarily better
"Magnesite from Portersville now
costs about $3.50 per short ton laid
down at San Francisco; probably that
form the Gillian creek (Sonoma coun-
ty), deposits can be delivered for some
what less. Production at the Kings
river deposits will cost about the same
as at PRtersville. Magnesite from
Sonoma and Napa counties can prog
ably be calcined and delivered in san
Francisco at SIS per snort, ton. I'm
ported magnesite was quoted in New
York city in April, 1908, at $3.50 to IS
per long ton. equal to S6.3S to sos
per short ton; calcined magnesite was
quoted at S16.75 to $25, and when com.
paratively free from lime, ground, seIis
in small lots at the later price. With
this difference in price for calcined
magnesite of about IS to Sc between
San Francisco and New York, it seems
possible that this product could some
times be shipped at a profit to the
eastern coast of the United States on
vessels that would otherwise sail with,
out a full cargo, and would for this
reason be willing to carry the material
at low rates.
In spite of the fact that Californ.
Ia magnesite is ordinarily purer and
cheaper, caicined Grecian magnesite
is shipped into Los Angeles as whit
cement for use in oxychloride ce-
ment."
Considerable amounts of liquid car.
bon dioxide are manufactured in Dan
land from California magnesite and
shipped throughout the Pacific coast
and southwestern states for use in
refrigeration and in making soda
water and other carbonated waters
The magnesite left as a residue L.
shipped TO paper mills in Oregon,
where it is used, after being changeu
to sulphite, in the digestion anG
whitening of wood pulp for paper.
This is the chief use for which the
California magnesite is put, and al
most the entire output of the Porters
vile deposits eventually finds its way
to these mills.
Mr.. Hess describes also other uses
"a Iaagnesite, noClbIy in the manu-
facture of magnesite bricks, shapes
and crucibles, oxychloride cement, sin
tered magnesite tubing for chemical
and metallurgical work and medicinal
and toilet preparations.
