Primitive Nitrate WORKING.

The nitrate caves in the South were
worked during the Civil war by very
crude methods. Generally the cave
earth was shoveled into iron pots,
where 1t was treated with water and
heated over wood fires to leach out its
soluble parts. The liquor was drawn
from one pot into another, and used
for treating fresh material until II
became highly concentrated solution
Of nitrate salts. It was then drawn OFF
and allowed to cool, whereupon the
nitrate crystallzed. The remaining liq-
uor was then employed to leach fresh
material and the crystals were separ-
ated and sacked for use.
