ASBESTOS FACTORY COMING
Plant May Be Located in Omaha by a
Large Concern.
MINES AND MILLS AT CASPAR
President Minium Sm the Freight
Hates In and ont of Omaha Offer
a Special ladacement for
His Firm.
In the near future Omaha will have an.
other added to Its long list of manufact vred
products. An asbestos factory It. the new
project. A. E. Minium, president of the
International Asbestos Mills and Power
company, and 8pectal Agent Collier ar
rived In the city yesterday. They practi
cally assure Omaha of the new factory.
The Industry In Omaha will be the turn
ing of the crude product of the mills into
the finished article ready for the market.
The mines and the mills of the company
are located at Casper. Wyo.. In Natrona
county, where the company has 310 acres
of asbestos deposit. ,
'In addition to Omaha's location ss a
good distributing center." said President
Minium, "we have secured low freight rate.
or rather have gotten our flberiied product
in on the ore rate of $.1 a ton, that makes
It very satisfactory as a location."
President Minium has samples of the ore
with him, showing the substance before
It is milled and after. The milling process
Is simply one of flberUIng, the ore Itself
being as heavy and dense as the rock In
which It Is found. After milling It be
comes light and feathery and much re
sembles cotton in its appearsnce.
Two Kinds of Asbestos.
The name "asbestos'' as commercially
used covers two distinct minerals, the
hornblende asbestos and the serpentine
asbestos. Both possess a fibrous structure,
somewhat fire and acid proof. Although
they resemble each other externally and
chemically, the hornblende does not subject
Itself conveniently to the flberlzatlon pro
cess, splitting Its fiber harsh and brittle.
The serpentine, which Is said to be the
kind found mostly In Wyoming, gives up
fine silky threads of great elasticity.
amenable to spinning and weaving.
The history of asbestos presents an en
tertaining story. Early writers have left
sugiwUlons throughout their works that
asbestos was a medium employed by the
priesthood to inspire awe and vnertlon
In tlielr subjects: also thsl asbestos sheets
were used by the sun w orshlroers to pro- I v n
tcct them from the heat of their aliar
fires.
It is related that Charlemagne once gave
a grand dinner, and when through and the
decorations removed, he threw the table
cloth Into the fire, drawing It ont clean
snd white, and unln1u,-ed. much to the a
tci Ishment of his guests, it beinc woven
fTom asbestos. Pliny In his writing often
referred to articles made from "the crys
talline flax," a substance none other than
ashestoit.
The many new uses to which the article
Is being put are numerous. Thrlr enumera
tion would fill a small volume. Among
other things claimed for the peculiar min
eral Is that It will revolution're the build
ing of railway passenger coaches, be
cause It Is the only absolute nonconductor
of sound. One of the big ronds recently
built an all-steel coach, with a deep asbes
tos floor snd asbestos pncVIni? between
the steel sheets. It Is s:1i! that the car
noiseless thnt the only way that
n pnsseiincr coulit tell that tne car was
moving was by looking out of the window.
