to a report from Souris. Man.
This utilization of what was for
many years regarded as compare

to develop quickly. into a rremen-
dous asset for the nation. and at
the same time render the Dominion

fields.
Normal capacity Of the plant now
esta ablished is about 10000 tons per
Year. In addition to the high pow

ucts will establish an important
source of national wealth.
The gas derived. in the reduction
of the Ignite is much more than
sufficient TO operate the plant. and
the balance will be used for otrer
manufacturing and utility purposes.
Also derived from the process of
reduction are about a dozen other
by-products. important among
which are benzol, tuluol. coal tar
dyes and highly volatile oils.
