SUBSTITUTE FOR PEBBLES
Steel Balls Replace Stones In Manu-
facture Of Cement on Pacific
Coast.

Manufacture of steel balls for use
In fine grinding of raw materials has
played havoc with the pebble pick
ers" Of the Pacific coast and Puget
sound regions. A few years ago it
was common practice for these people
to gather hard flint stones and peb-
bles from the beaches as the articles
had a market at portland cement
mills and other plants where they
were used in the grinding machines
In searching along the beaches Of
Puget sound the pebble pickers were
constantly on the lookout for valuable
agates and moonstones while they
gathered the flint pebbles in large
sacks. On the California beaches flint
pebbles are still gathered for use in
some Of the California cement plants,
but the steel balls have taken thei-
place in most mills. The pebbles or
balls are used in huge rotary mills,
some Of the largest mills carrying ss
much as 30 to "a tons of balls. As
the mill revolves, the balls climb the
sides and drop back on the raw ma
terial rolling and grinding 1t to a fine
powder. Before the steel balls were
perfected, large shipments Of flint peb-
bles from France and Denmark were
required In this country.
