GREAT IMPROVEMENT
Ledge on the Bonanza Lease

Developments yesterday in the
shaft on the Bonanza lease seem to
indicate that Messrs. Herring,

three feet in width.
An average sample has not yet
been taken, the assays thus far

they fully agree that the ledge is

DISPOSAL OF SEWAGE.
New Process Converts Waste Into a
Valuable Commodity.

Sewage sludge is transformed into
useful material by tho magic of an
English physician. He has recently
evolved a cheap and simple means Of
converting the waste Of the sewers
into a valuable commodity. The sue
cessful experiments that have been
made with it in the north Of England
demonstrated conclusively that it not
only completely overcomes the disposal
Of sewage difficulty, but its operation
can be carried on proftably, so that a
new source of revenue is presented
thereby.
The sediment Of the sewage which
gathers in the settling tanks is put
through a press to drive out the super
fuous water. The resulting product is
distilled together and mixed with some
cheap chemicals In a patent retort.
Under the action of s]uperheated steam
the fatty ingredients are driven off
and the Oil is retained in a tower.

OF cold water the fat is deposited in
the form Of thin white flakes like

This residue contains nitrogen equal
to 2 per cent of ammonia and about .

fetal fertilizer. 1t is particularly use
