POTASH FROM IRON.
Scientist Says Potash Can be Made By?
product of Iron Manufacture.
According to an article in this
week's issue of the Manufacturers'
Record by Charles Catlett, an emi?
nent chemist and geologist, with long
experience as an expert for many of
the great steel corporations of the
country, including the old Carnegie
Steel Co. and of later years, the
United States Steel corporation, pot
ish as a by-product in iron-making is
now feasible to an extent which will
greatly lessen the cost of iron pro?
duction, and make available a supply
of potash which can be increased to
meet the fullest needs of the coun?
try, making us entirely independent of
Germany.
Mr. Cartlett goes back in his Inves?
tigation to Sir Lowthian Bell's monu?
mental work ln? the chemical pheno?
mena of iron smelting, and shows
that Sir Lowthian called attention to
the presence of potash In some Iron
ores and discussed the formation of
potassium cynaide in the furnace and
its influence on iron smelting. Strange
to say, Sir Lowthian Bolls' investiga?
tions and report on the matter seem
to have been entirely overlooked or
Ignored. But Investigations made by
Mr. Catlett show the faslbillty of
saving the potash in ores wherever it
is found and securing as a by-produqt
potassium cyanide, which at present
prices would exceed in value the total
value of the plg-iro.. produced.
Taking as an illustration of What
may be done, certain iron ores in
Alabama which carry a large per?
centage of potash, he states that
even at prices prevailing before the
war, the potassium cyanide by-px*oduct
in furnaces operating on these ores
would be equal In value to ?'Jt per
ton for every ton of iron mads, Of
course, on the baHls of present prices
of potash, the figures would be throe
or four times as large, but using the
ante-bellum prices of potash. Mr. Cat
lett says "the possible values uro
startling and fully Justify the earnest
consideration of all furnace opera?
tors."
Mr. Catlett takes the ground thai
where ores such as these potash*
bearing ores are used, moro than six
tons of potassium cyanide cun be
saved ns a by-product for every 100
tone of Iron produced. On other gen

day was the first good rain which
fell since April 7th, the drought be?
ing exceptionally long, especially for
that season of the year. The rains
will bring up much cotton, which was
