TAKING ALKALI OUT OF
WATER IN ADOBE LAKE

The production of potash from
alkali is an industry that has beer
launched one mile south of For,
Shaw by two Helena men, Charles
Whitcomb and Thomas Sweeney, and
most extensive scale.
The men have secured control OF
Adobe lake, which because of the i'm
mense quantities of alkali IN it, has
always been considered worthless.
camp and plant for the concen-
tration of the alkali has been located
near the lake, and a crew of men and
teams are employed in hauling the
water from the lake and boiling it
down. The surface of the ground
along the edges of the lake is also be-
ing scraped for the large quantities
of alkali that has become lodged in
it through the years.
The water of the lake in it's natural
state is S per cent pure alkali, and
by mixing with it some of the alkal
impregnated soil taken from the
banks, and by then boiling the wa
ter, liquid is secured having an al
kali content of Is per cent and this
is then barreled and shipped. Those
in charge of the plant are reticent
about their enterprise, but the above
seem to be the facts in the case.
1t is stated that the alkali or some
other constituent derived from it is
used in the copper smelters as a sub
stitute for a chemical formerly used,
which was secured exclusively from
Germany.

ed legal documents or papers is fixed

lent use or alteration is fixed at not

ment for not more than five years,
