In visible trade balance Canada was in third place, United States being first and British India second; while in favorable trade balance per capita Canada still leads the world with $15.93, with Argentine second with $14.22, and New Zealand third with $10.73. INTERESTING FACTS ON CANADIAN ASBESTOS INDUSTRY Canada exported during the year 1927 raw asbestos to the value of $6,535,000 to the United States. Quebec produced from January 1st to June 30th, 1928, 120,792 tons valued at $4,892,209 as against 123,730 tons valued at $4,685,706 from January 1st to June 30th, 1927. During the year 1927, the total production in the Province of Quebec was 274,778 tons, the value of which was $10,621,013. From the above figures there was, therefore, a decrease of 2,938 tons or 2.4% with an increased value of $206,503, or 4.4% for the period of 1928 as against 1927.

The latter is the mill proper, and it is in this plant that the actual separation of asbestos from serpentine takes place. The machinery used in the crushing plant has for its main object the reduction of rock to a size suitable for treatment in the fiberizing machines, together with the libera tion of the asbestos from the rock. However, the fibre thus liberated is in a compact form, not as yet having been opened up. Therefore, the object of the fiberizing machines is not only to reduce the rock, thus liberating the fibre, but also to divide and split into fine fibre the coarse fibre and put it in a fluffy-like form, and make it more amenable to the lifting and separation by means of suction fans. Fiberizers There are different types of fiberizers, of which four are here described. They are the hammer mill, the Jumbo, and the Laurie and Pharo cyclones. The hammer mill, in addition to being a fiberizer, also reduces the size of the rock ahead of other fiberizing machines. It disintegrates the rock and reduces it considerably in one operation, thus increasing the capacity of other fiberizing machinery. It consists of a series of discs fixed on a horizontal shaft. To each disc are attached six swinging hammers, which strike over grate bars of special design. As the usual size of hammer mills contains 60 separate hammers, and the discs are revolved at a speed varying from 700 to 900 r.p.m., it will be evident that the number of impacts or blows delivered is tremendous. The Jumbo consists of a cylindrical shell made of steel plates with cast-iron heads and chilled cast-iron beaters. The shell is composed of halves hinged together so as to facilitate opening for cleaning and repairs. The shaft has four keyways, to receive six pairs of arms placed at six-inch intervals and disposed cross-wise to each other. The arms are made of heavy steel bars carrying at the cutter chilled iron beaters, the faces of which are made on an angle so as to drive the material from the feed to the discharge end.

MTC 000180 IS COMBINED "CANASCO NEWS" Pace 5 The Laurie cyclone consists of two beaters of the screwpropeller type driven at a speed of 1,700 to 2,000 r.p.m., in opposite directions, in a cast-iron chamber. The material is regularly fed through feed holes, and the whirlwind created by the beaters hurls the particles against each other with such violence that they are disintegrated and the fibre liberated. The Pharo cyclone was designed by G. F. Pharo, of Thetford Mines, in order to overcome as far as possible the tearing effect on the fibre, which is one of the objections to the Laurie cyclone. It is of the same general type as the Laurie, but the hood above the discharging end is cut off immediately above the latter, and the crushing blades or beaters, of which the paddles are one right and the other left, rotate in the same direction. This cyclone also has the advantage of a regulation of the rate of discharge of the material by means of a gate which can vary the size of the outlet opening. The smaller the opening, the longer is the period for which the material is thrown against the liners of the machine, and the finer is the reduction. As the material reaching the mill contains a great quantity of freed asbestos, the process of separating the asbestos fibre begins immediately. In fact, on its arrival in the mill, it is put through a screening trommel, the fines are discharged on a shaking screen, and the overflow--that is all lJ4-inch and over--falls in one of the fiberizing devices, above described, which discharges on the same shaking screen. The latter, which is slightly inclined, is flat and made of wire or perforated plates. It is also provided with an oscillating movement by an eccentric, the frames being supported from suspending rods. This oscillating movement, apart from sizing the rock and eliminating the sand, causes the fiberized asbestos in its forward course to come on top. At the discharging end of the screen, the hood of a suction fan takes up all the liberated fibre. The overflow falls in a second fiberizing machine, which discharges, like the first, on a screen where the asbestos is again lifted by means of a suction fan, and so on till the rock is practically pulverized. The tailing, practically free of fibre, is sent to the waste dump. GRAPHITE products of Joseph Dixon Crucible Co. are the best. Canadian Asbestos Co. for over a decade sole Canadian Distributors. MTC 000181 J- Page 6 "ASBESTOLOGY" WITH WHICH Fans and Collectors The work effected by the fans is of the highest importance. Asbestos must not go through the fan, for besides being cut by the blades it is very hard on the fan, and the blades wear out rapidly. Therefore, the system adopted at most of the mines is the `rarefied' or vacuum system. That is, a `fall-through' type of collector is located in the path of the material between the fan D and the hood at A (Figure 2). The circulating air, as it enters into the collector, is reduced in pressure, and the fibre retained is thus liberated. It falls through a discharge tube E on a screen or into a grading screen. The air and fine dust escape through the top C of the collector through the fan which blows them into a dust-chamber or float-chamber.

The dressing penetrates into the core of the rope, waterproofs the fibres, keeps them flexible and prevents rotting. We do not, however, recom mend the use of Traction Belt Dressing on manila cables that have a metal core. Solid Belt Dressing The next best thing to use where it is found inconvenient to apply Dixon's Traction Belt Dressing is Dixon's Solid Belt Dressing. That this solid dressing is not equal to the paste we frankly admit, but we do state emphatically that you cannot get a better dressing in solid form. If conditions make necessary or advisable the use of a solid dressing, use Dixon's. It stops slipping surely and quickly, and where expediency is the chief consideration it should be selected. Dixon's Solid Belt Dressing should invariably be used as a convenient dressing for leather, rubber and fabric belts. Where a belt is in good condition, but a trifle narrow for the load, the Solid Dressing will be found to assist it materially, increasing the clinging powers of the belt. Directions for Applying Before applying the Traction Belt Dressing, thoroughly clean the belts with a stiff brush or wooden scraper of all accumulations of dirt and grease. Warm the Dressing until it is thin, if it is cold and thick; then apply it iightly and evenly with a brush or swab. The cleaner the belts are the better the results. One pound of dressing should put in proper order eighty square feet of leather belting. To apply the Solid Dressing simply cut or tear away a small portion of the paper cover so as to expose one end of the stick. Hold this end against the pulley side of the moving belt; use only a little at a time. Packages Dixon's Traction Belt Dressing comes in 5, 10, 25, 100 and 375 lb. packages. Dixon's Solid Belt Dressing is put up in round bars of a size that fits the hand conveniently. Each bar contains about one pound of dressing; twenty-five bars in a case. Dixon's Belt Dressings are sold by leading dealers and supply houses the world over. Samples free on request. --The End.

MTC 000184 18 COMBINED "CANASCO NEWS' Page 9 THE STORY OF ASBESTOS Part II Chrysotile {white): This family is by far the most important in the Asbestos industry, containing about 90% of the fibre mined. Practically all of the white, silky fibre known to the layman as Asbestos, mined in Canada, Rhodesia, and Russia is of this variety. It occurs in seams of the Serpentine rock, appearing as con tinuous veins in which the fibres are perpendicular to the masses of Serpentine on either side. The ore is quarried and crushed and after separating the fibres from the mass of rock they are graded according to length. Usually the length of any fibre is identical with the thickness of the vein as the fibres are formed as fine threads extending from one wall of Serpentine to the other. The length may vary from a small fraction of an inch to five or six inches. The diameter of each fibre is much finer than cotton as approximately 25,000 could be laid side by side to measure one inch. Under the micro scope the fibres appear to be smooth, square strands. In chemical structure, Chrysotile is generally thought a hydrated magnesium silicate, of the form 3Mgo, 2Sio2, 2H2o. Various impurities occur which greatly influence the character of the fibre. Iron is almost always found and often times aluminum and calcium occur, as well as other alkalies. Table No. 1 shows analysis of several specimens of this grade. Crocidolite: Much of the commercial fibre from Africa falls under this heading. In general these grades have a brilliant, beautiful blue or brown cast. The shades seem to depend principally upon chemical composition and slightly upon the occurrence of the fibre in the mine as they appear to have been influenced by centuries of exposure to the weather. Table No. 1 will show that the chemical composition of the Crocidolite grade indicates a larger percentage of iron and the fibre seems to partake of the nature of iron in that it is usually harsher, stiffer and stronger than the Chrysotile grade. The fibres are somewhat larger in diameter than the Chrysotile grade and are also found in greater lengths. Crocidolite seems to contain more impurities or rather a greater number of chemicals than Chrysotile, hence more care must be used in its applications. Packing for every need.

MTC 000185 Page 10 i ASBESTOLOGY" WITH WHICH Amphibole: This is a fibre found in the United States and in almost every part of the world but owing to its limited applications is only mined in rare instances. Small quantities are produced for the filtrations of acids and alkalies. The chemical structure of this grade is almost identical with that of Chrysotile excepting that there is practically no water of hydration in the Amphibole. The fibre consequently appears very similar to the Chrysotile until it is ^handled, then it is found very brittle and with practically no strength. As it occurs in nature the fibre is extremely long, often times ranging to 12 inches but it cannot be separated without breaking, so it is impossible to mine it without destroying the length. In appearance it is extremely white sometimes having a sparkle like Mica. Per haps future developments will show man how to broaden the uses of this beautiful grade. Process of Extraction: Since a great majority of Asbestos used in the United States is a Chrysotile variety from Canada, we are more vitally interested in the operations of the Canadian mines than others. The extraction of Asbestos from the Serpentine is simple as compared with that of metallic ores. The mine consists of an open pit or quarry from which the ore is blasted. The rock is carried to a mill where it is crushed and the valuable ores separated from the mass of the rock. Before the ore is sent to the second crusher, it passes inspectors where the rocks containing the longest fibres are taken out and the fibre extracted by means of a hand hammer. This product is known as "Crude" and commands the highest prices. The mill rock after crushing and drying is passed over screens where the asbestos is separated from the rock. This is usually done by means of a vacuum and air suction. The rock passes to the dump and an Asbestos mine is readily distinguishable by a tremendous heap of dump rock. The fibre is passed through grading screens thence to bags and finally to storage in pre paration for shipment. The percentage of Asbestos recovered from the rock mined will vary from 8 to 15 per cent, and the length of the fibres recovered will likewise show considerable variation. Naturally the shorter fibre will be recovered in greatest volume. --7o be continued.

It has been called "MIKROASBESTOS' (short Asbestos) to distinguish it from "MAKRO-ASBESTOS" (long Asbestos) a name which the exploiters of Mikro-Asbestos have applied to the Chrysotile and other fibrous asbestos produced in Canada, Russia, Africa and Cyprus. This new powdered Asbestos is produced in the little district of Burgenland, formerly in Hungary, but since the War forming a part of Austria, and reports on the occurrence and extent of these deposits have appeared in technical and trade journals. A leaflet by Kommerzialrat Heinrich Rosen berg, based on a radio lecture delivered by him in Vienna, contains many interesting observations on the use of short asbestos, which we are sure will be of interest to many of our readers. We are, therefore, giving a translation of the most impprtant parts of Mr. Rosenberg's lecture. / ----------------- \ ^ ' Production and Use of Burgenland / MIKRO-ASBESTOS \ The name Asbestos is derived from the Greek and means "unquenchable"--"indestructible". The translation "unburnable" often used in literature is incorrect. The word "amiante", "Amianthus" is used in some countries to designate Asbestos; it is a derivative from a Greek word used for the first time in the New Testament, signifying "immaculate", "pure". The word "MIKROS" is the Greek for "small"; the word "MAKROS" means "large, long". Geologists have interested themselves mainly in the "MAKRO-ASBESTOS" and have divided it in two classes, the Serpentine Group, including Chrysotile, Amosite and Crocidolite and the Amphibole or Hornblende Group. MAKRO-ASBESTOS is an essential and incomparable mineral because it represents the only mineral fibre that can be spun, and the extravagant expression in an American Pamphlet calling MAKRO-ASBESTOS "the earth's most important mineral" can easily be understood. MAKRO-ASBESTOS has been known since the most remote times, the cultured nations of oldest antiquity, the Chinese and the Egyptians, used cloth and asbestos mats made of prepared asbestos.

MTC 000188 IS COMBINED "CANASCO NEWS'' Page 13 was used to protect fires on the altars and the lamps of the Vestal virgins had asbestos wicks which permanently supplied oil and thus maintained an eternal flame. Extensive industrial employment of MAKRO-ASBESTOS began only towards the end of the 19th century,. The produc tion of crude asbestos in Canada alone increased from 70 tons in 1878 to 280,000 tons in 1926. The enormous requirements of MAKRO-ASBESTOS of spinnable, long, medium, and short grades has brought with it the urgent necessity of finding a market for the large quanti ties of refuse resulting from mining as well as from manu facturing operations. In fact, numerous plants are engaged in using this asbestos refuse in milled form and in this way the asbestos refuse or asbestos rock which cannot be used for binding or weaving is very finely ground, whereby the fibre quality of the asbestos is practically destroyed and then used as a filler in numerous-industries, which take advantage of the excellent chemical, physical, and technical properties of asbestos without the need of a technical fibre for their purposes. Large amounts of asbestos flour, asbestos powder, asbestos screens, asbestos floats, asbestos waste, asbestos sand are thus used industrially. As in every industry, it is of the greatest importance that sale keep pace with production. It is a vital matter for the transatlantic (Canadian) production of MAKRO-ASBESTOS, that the use of asbestos refuse develop in the same proportion as that of the spinning fibres. The Canadian Asbestos Mines do not seem to worry much about the sale of this refuse, although in the course of several decades during which this matter was neglected, large quanti ties of asbestos refuse were accumulated at the Mines. The technical literature correctly states that the use of asbestos in the form of short fibres is only in its infancy. The MIKRO-ASBESTOS from Rechnitz, also called Burgenland MIKRO-ASBESTOS, is a homogene, light green, almost white, powder. Under the microscope the fibrous construction is easily recognized. It feels greasy and silky. Chemically it is equal to the best Canadian asbestos grades. The product when ready for the market is fireproof and weatherproof. It is characterized by light specific Weight, is acid-proof and possesses great insulation qualities against cold and heat, against electric current and sound. In consequence of its hollow spaces and its fibrous construction, it is very adhesive and absorbent. It is very pliable and combines readily with other substances. --To be continued.
