New Potash Plant
Proves a Success
Alliance (Neb.) Herald

The small potash plant of the
Sunnyside Potash company, re-
Gently erected on the Phelan ranch
lakes, ten miles southeast of AL
lance. by M. F. Crossette and
George K. Kimball, two mining
engineers, has been in operation
for several days and according to
Mr.. Kimball, who is superintend-
ing the operation of the plant, is
proving a decided success.
S A rotary oil dryer is to be in
stalled in the plant at once as the
operation of the dryer has shown
that the tower reduces enough
brine in FIVE hours to operate the
pan dryer now being used for forty
eight hours. The tower reduces
at the rate of nearly ten tons of
potash salts per "a hour day, using
only one and one-half tons of coal
for two tons of potash.
The salts produced at the plant
runs high in potash, averaging
29.27K2O. Mr.. Kimball believes
that 100 ton plant can be erected
on this plan for 100000, about
one-fifth the present cost, and can
operate at about one half the cost
of the plants now running.
