The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1922-01-11
Industrial Montana

It was 81 years ago that an in
genious Englishman, Joseph Asp
din, first poured into a rude mould
a mass of powdered lime, alumina
and silica, added some sand and
3. water, and watched the substance
gradually "set" in a rough block,
closely resembling the quarried
limestone of his own Isle of Port
land.
Today, upsetting the building
traditions of the ages, Portland
Cement in the form of concrete
has reared architectural monu-
ments that dwarf to the insignifi-
canoe of Noah's Ark toys the
tabled Colossus of Rhodes and the
venerable Pyramids of Egypt.
The distribution of the raw ma
terials for making Portland &C.
ment-chalk, limestone, mari,
clay, slate, river mud or blast
furnace slag-is worldwide. In
Montana, we have an inexhausti-
BILE supply of ''limey shale,' of
which one principal manufacturer,
the Three Forks Portland Cement
Company quarries and makes into
cement some 100000 tons each
year.
AT Trident or Hanover, you will
Zee a steam shovel and corps of
Vorkmen eating into a hill of
Whitish rock and carting it off to
a nearby crusher.
From the crusher, the limestone
goes to a cylindrical drying kiln,
to remove all moisture. Then, af-
ter further reducing it to the di-
mansions of fine powder, it is
heated to 2,4O0 degrees Fahren-
heit in another cylindrical kiln,
fed by powdered coal. This In
tense heat produces what a physi-
asst would call ''fncipieHt vitrifi
cation" but, m plain language
and to the eye Of the novice, il
merely turns the powder into
Gkinkers.
These clinkers are again gF0unG
TO a fine powder, after which jusi
the right amount of "retarder, >
IA the form Of GYPSUM, is added II
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1922-01-11

prevent the cement from "set-
ting too fast when mixed with
water. The finished product then
goes to the storehouse, where it is
put up in 95-pound sacks for ship
ment.
At Hanover, in addition to ce-
Matchmaking, the company oper-
ates a plaster plant. The gypsum
which we mentioned as a ere
tarder'' for cement, is converted
by an even simpler process into
plaster.
HydrOus sulphate of calcium or
gypsum is common to Montana.
But outside of the Hanover plant,
where $1,000 tons are quarried an
nually, it has not been CONNER
cially exploited to any great ex-
tent, though a new concern has
just built a plant at Gypsum near
Lewistown.
Making gypsum into plaster
simply means mining the rock,
crushing, pulverizing, drying, and
adding "retarder'' in the form of
slaughterhouse refuse, dried
blood, ground bones and the hke),
and mixing with it a certain
amount of animal hair, to bind
and strengthen.
N~inety-five per cent of the
Portland cement made IN Mon
tana is used within the State,
which also consumes 400 of the
plaster, the balance going to
Washington, Idaho and Oregon.
The 800 men employed in these
plants earn nearly 100000 a
year; the $500 tons of ceal cost
over $500, 900; the freight bill for
supplies amounts to $125, 900; and
other items bring the total spent
annually within the State to ST.
154,89
The cement and plaster mills of
Montana are operated exclusively
by power furnished by The Mon
tana Power Company, which IN
1890 received for such service the
SUM Of 500, 025 80.
Of this amount, $40, 782.T9 was
paid IN State, County and Cfts
taxes.

DEFENDANTS IN MINERS
TRIAL ALLOWED IN COURT

CHARLES TOWN. May 1S.-
Nearly all of the men most vital
ly interested in the miners trials
here have ben excluded from the
Circuit Court room for the last
twenty days. while evidence in tbs
case of one of their number was
being heard. But yesterday and to-
day they had chance once more
to return to the room and observe
the proceedings while attorneys
for defendant and state argued on
a motion to direct verdict of ac-
quittal.
More than 1oG men under in6ict.
mept in connection with the march
last summer against Logan County
were granted a change OF venue
from that county to the court Sit
ting here. William Blizzard was
the first of the list to be placed en-
trial under a charge of treason,
and because of the others ware
apt to be called as defense witness
they we're excluded while the evi
dence in the Blizzard case was
hard.
