GRKAT MEW INDUSTRY.
Making of Fertilisers The Works a
Village in Themselves.
In tho fdlkloro of some European
countries stories nro told of great
castles that havo been built in a
night by tho fairies. With plenty
of muBclo mid material at disposal
such feats would bo noteworthy,
but perhaps not miraculous. In
full view of Honolulu, within tho
short Bpaco of ton months, modern
enterprise has reared an establish
ment that has consumed moro of
human skill and common, hard,
torrestrial material than half a
dozen baronial castles. Passen
gers by tho Oahu Hallway and
Land Company will havo noticed
tho tall chimney symbol of the
hum of busy industry an aggreg
ation of buildings thnt seem made
to contain a manufacturing plant,
and a group of dwellings, all in a
Bpncious plot between Tho railway
and tho Lwa main road at Kalilu,
a short distanco beyond Knineha
meha schools.
These structures belong to tho
Pacific Guano aud Fertilizer Co.,
of which H. Hackfeld & Co. aro
tho promoters and tho agents. A
representative of tho Bollktin
visited tho works, and was courte
ously shown over them by Dr.
Averdam, n skilled specialist who
hnB been brought from Germany
to manage tho establishment. ( Tho
doctor waB not only exceedingly
polite but very patient in explain
ing details so fully us to enable tho
UliM.KTlN to givo Homo idea of tho
.nature and capacity of the works
to its readors.
The works aro extensive and a
beginning having to bo made some
where, it is done at tho receiving
warehouse, where tho crudo mater
ial is stored which is the basis of
tlio company's commercial product.
This is n wooden building 200 foot
long by B2 foot wide, with n capac
ity of oOOO tons of guano. At tho
present time it contains J1500 tons
of that nrticlo brought direct from
Luysun island in vessels chartered
especially by tho company. What
is stored there at present is tho
cargo brought by tho clipper bark
entitle Planter, well known in tho
San Francisco aud Honolulu trado.
Tho material is discharged from
tho vessel at tlio railway pier in
Honolulu into tho cars, and a
Hwitch lends tho cars thoro laden
close to tlio door of the receiving
warehouse.
From tho receiving warehouse
tho crude guano is taken across tho
track in hand trucks to tho grind
ing room in a largo brick building.
Hero it is first put through a
crushing mnchiun that breaks tho
rock guano into small lumps.
Thenco it is carrioel by travelers
to tho disintegrating machine,
French mill stones continuing tho
process by resolving the material
into fine powdor. This ground
product is sent unto tho next floor
in an elevator, where it is dumped
into tho niixor. In this machino
it is mixed with sulphuric acid.
Tho mixed result is discharged
through a chuto in liquid form into
ti huge container, in reality a liquid
proof chnmbor of masonry on the
ground floor, with a sliding door,
that practically seals it hermetic
ally. After ton hours tho mass be
comes set aud solid. This is what
is called suporphosnhate, and it
contains from 15 to 'i0 pur cent, of
soluble phosphoric acid. It is sol
uble in water.
Two processos have now boon
mentioned the grinding and tho
treating with sulphuric acid. The
third process is that of mixing
dry with potnsh, salts and ammo
nia, in such proportions as tho
different soils of customers may
require. Tho product is dug out
of tho chamber with picks and do
posited in tho superphosphato
warnroom into which tho chamber
opens. This wareroom is 2-10 feet
long by 80 foot wide. At present
it cnntuitiB 1500 tons of crudo
guano for which thoro was not
room in the receiving warehouse
when it was discharged. Tho
waroroom floor is of brick, based
on foundations of native stone,
resting on tho bedrock. Thoro is
u wide sido door toward Ewn,
through which tho manufactured
superphosphato is loaded directly
into tho cars, there boing another
switch on this side of the works.
This building has also to afford
storngo for f00 tons of potash,
salts, ammonia, saltpetre, etc. At
tention is called to very ingenious
scales, that, by a turn of tho wrist
on a lover, automatically registers
round hundreds up to 10(H) pounds,
leaving a small sliding weight to
bo shifted for tho odd pounds. Tho
bags aro mado to contain 125 aud
150 pounds, and aro nut on tho
scalos to test for any variation
from tho standard. Those scales
am a Gorman invention ,and for
convenience havo no equal, at
least in these parts. There are
doors in each end of the super
phosphate wareroom, which fur
nish amnio ventilation ami dis
pose of both disagreeable odor
and dust. There aro 800 tons of
tho manufactured product now
ready to ship, Provided the raw
material he forthcoming, tho works
have a capacity for shipping KM)
tons a day.
The disintegrating process has
been already mentioned but not
fully described. It is not all com
pleted between tho upper and
nether millstones on (ho ground
lloor. Dr. Averdam remembered,
on starting for another branch of
tho works, that tlio process in
question had been in part over
looked, and turning back allowed
the reporter up to tho second floor.
Near the head of the stairs is a
room for storing bags. From tho
two pulverizing machines down
stairs the guano is carried by an
endless chain of buckets to nno
thor disintegrator or sifter up
stairs. This machino consists
chiefly of a revolving chamber with
sieve walls set parallel to tho
Bhaft, into which tho ground ma
terial is prcoijmtcd. Through No.
CO meshes, containing 2C00 holes
to the square inch, tho material is
Bifted and comes out in powder as
fine as dust. It is carried to a con
tainer of heavy timber walls,
where it receives its quota of sul-
ihurio ncid from tho acid works.
)r. Averdam removed a ponol
from tho sifting machine, when
tho air was instantly filled with
the dust. Ho said it was not in
jurious to the lungs From tho
mixer tho rosult is conveyed to
tho largo chamber bolow already
montionod.
On tho way across tho lot to the
acid works tho tall chimney, that
makes a conspicuous now land
mark for many miles around, is
!asscd. It is n circular pyramid
.04 feet high, built of hard brick
froin a design from C. 13. liipley,
architect. A divergence to the
right leads into the drying room,
who on an iron platform crudo
material that has neon damaged,
by wot is dried. At ono entl of
this room is tho boiler room, mid
at tho opposite sido the engine
room. Thoro is a fluo boiler 25
feet in length with double furnace
underneath. Tho ongino is a
horizontal ono of C8 horse nowor,
with a lly-whocl about 10 feet in
diameter. It is fitted with the
latest improvement in governors,
of which n description would only
bo intelligible to a machinist,
lioilor and engine wore mado in
Hrcmcn,Gormany,froni whenco tho
greater part of tho plant camo. A
minor portion of tho apparatus is
of English and French invention.
Tho acid factory forms a distinct
branch of tho works, accounts
boing kept on tho books between
it and the superphosphato factory.
On entering a largo building de
voted to this branch, tho visitor is
i t ii it
imrocmccci 10 six suipuur ovens.
Theso nro charged with sulphur,
which being ignited mingles its
fumes with those of saltpetre.
The saUpotro is inserted in the
ovens in metal containers by
means of swinging brackets.
Steam is introduced at a later
stage from tho boiler room across
tho lot through pipes. Tho throe
olomonts unite in forming sul
phuric acid. Tho ovens aro
charged alternately at intervals of
ono hour. Tho worthless resi
duum is raked out from beneath.
From tho ovens the mingled fumes
ascend into two immense load
chauibors, having a combined
length of 150 feet, a depth of 22
feet and n width of 21 feet. Hero
they commingle and become sul
phuric ncid in a crudo form.
Gaugos aro set in tho sides of tho
chambers to show tho depth of tho
acid and its strength. At tho end
oftho process, not yet fully des
cribed, Dr. Averdam showed tho
roporter a samplo of the first sul
phuric acid over manufactured in
the Hawaiian Islands. There are
escapo valves for superfluous sul
phur fumes, Hy a ladder tho tops
of the lead chambers aro reached.
Hero is tho system of pipes intro
ducing tho steam, which enters at
a safely low pressure Tho throo
ingredients of nitric ncid, aqueous
vapor (or steam) and sulphur
fumes form crudo nitric acid.
This is led through two filtration
towers ono an English invention
called tho Glover, tho othor a
French ono called tlio Gay Lussac.
Thoro is a devico for retaining
valuable fumes which would
otherwise escape through tho
smokestack.
At tho townward end of tho
attic a window reveals a magni
ficent view of Honolulu and ad
jacont mountains, including Dia
mond Head, with a refreshing
sight of apparently unbroken
green forest between.
A revolving distributor like n
lawn sprinkler sheds tho ncid into
tho tops of tho towers. Tho
supply from rocoiviug tanks con
nected with the lead chambers is
regulated by automatic valves,
Cold water introduced in coils is
used to cool tho acid, aud tho
escape pipes aro hotter than tho
hand can bear. Air pumps are
used to forco tho acid throuuh its
different stages mid into tho super
phosphate factory. If the ncid
wore pumped directly it would
quickly eat away tho interior of
tlio pump.
Tnero aro five salaried oflicors
and !)0 laborers of various nation
alities employed at presont in tho
works. They havo neon in opera
tion now nine days, and have ship
ped a few samples of their product.
An artesian well, COO foot deep, on
tlio lot, with a flow of eight feet
above the surface, supplies water
to the works aud the dwellings.
A tall water tower with a capacious
tank is now being built, which will
givo an effective distribution, and
be a potent preventive of fire, over
tho whole place, Tho water will
lie introduced through tho roofs.
Olio building is devoted to both
tho otllco and tho laboratory, both
departments having ample room
mid every needed convenience,
There aro scales in the laboratory
that will weigh to the ten thous
andth part of a gramme, It has a
weight of aluminum thnt looks
jiko n cobweb. A record is kept
intho laboratory oftho analyses of
Boils from different plantations
mndo by tho chemist, so that it is
known just what quality of fertil
izer to furnish to each. There aro
samples of guano from Laysan h1
andj Florida (whoro the largest de
posit known exists), llussia (in
round lumps), Algeria and Canada
(mineral phosphate looking like
whinstono).
The company hns built a spaci
ous house for tho manager, and
four Biiug cottages for the other
oflicors. Tho salaried staff is com
posed as follows: Dr. W. Averdam,
manager; O. Toe pel in aim, chemist;
C. Hugons, bookkeeper; A. Falke,
engineer; if. Schlcmmcr, overseer.
Dr. Avordnm, tho manager, was
at Loysan island about a year ago,
nnd was engaged on coming to Ho
nolulu by tho far-seeing promoters
of tho company. He supervised
tho construction of the works nnd
tho erection of tho plant, having
had experience in fertilizer nion
ufneturing in Germany, France,
Norway and othor countries. It
was only last February that build
ing operations began, and now
only n few finishing touches on tho
interiors nnd tho grounds ore re
quired, when thoro will be com
pleted and in full working order
ono of the most iinnorlnnt iinliin-
trial establishments in tho Hawai

"RING UP TWO NlNElY"
That You Will Do If You Want a
Fleet Hark Or a Fiue rui nout.
The United Carriage Co., or bet
ter known as ti'.ll), is one of the
oldest and most reliable hack com
panies iu tho city, having been
established in 1H8II by Manuel
Hois and Harry Cannon. Thev
continued to do a prosperous busi
ness until ISS'.I, when J.C. Quiun
bought Harry Cannons interest iu
the company. Hy their careful at
tention to business they have built
up twice the trado of any carriage
company in the oily. At tho pres
ent time they aro running fifteen
hacks. Although some peoplo are
complaining of duil times, they do
not complain, for they are doing a
good business. About u your ago
they took nut ii livery licenso. They
aro now prepared to furnish some
first-class turnouts. Their livery
business ih small ut present, luit

ses nro the finest roadsters that
California could produce, When
iisLed what their nuurut of success
was, one oftho proprietors replied:
"In tho first place wo attend strictly
to business. "Wo are driving our
selves all tho while. Every tele
phono wo receive is recorded in
our book, the time of receiving and
tho destination of the hack, bo that
it a driver overcharges, or there is
any complaint, wo know juBt who
went and what time he started.
Another thing, we spare no mouoy
in getting horses. Wo are using
daily horses iu our hacks that cost
from S00 to 8400. Any of these
horses will pull n hack a milo iu
less than three (V) minutes. I
don't suppose that there is another
hack company in tho world that
uses so many thoroughbred road
sters as wo do. Our Hacks aro tho
finest that can be built. When
they become u little old wo sell
them and replace them by buying
new ones." livery person of long
