TREADWELL SAND IDEAL
Contrary to the impression many peo
ple have, Treadwell sand, tailings from
the mills, is ideal material for con
crete.
Not very long ago, a considerable
quantity of Treadwell sand was ship
ped to Elders rock at considerable ex
pense, for use in concrete work by the
government there, the government ex
perts holding it to be much superior to
the sand to be found nearer.
This summer Frank Newhall, United
States inspector of boilers, sent a
sample of Treadwell sand to the Mir
acle Pressed Stone company, of Min
neapolis, Minn. In a letter received
by him they say:
“We have given the sample of sand
you sent us by express a thorough
test, and it stands a better test than ^
any material we have received in the
office this year. On a four to one mix- -j
ture, the material stood a test of eighty
pounds per square inch in seven days,
and a test of 200 pounds in ten days. . ^
The average material on a mixture of 3
four to one will stand about 150
pounds in ten days. This material is
elean and sharp, and you can rest as
sured it will make a first class block,
