HENRY IRBY,
'eS-Im Irbyvilie, Ga.
Take the earth that you may wish to test,
and pass water through it; then add lye—
made of common wcod ashes—to the water
until the clouding ceases; afterwards boil
down the water until it is thick, then immerse
a slip of paper in the water, which, when
thoroughly dried, apply to a live coal of fire
—if it burns with a cracking noise the earth
has more or less saltpetre in it. Nearly all
the limestone caves in East Tennessee and
Wostern Virginia, that are free from running
water or drips, contain more or less saltpetre.
HOW TO MARK (SALTPETRE.
Put up four hoppers, such as are used in
making lye, fill them with pulverized saltpe
tre earth, pass the same water through No.
twice, and once—it being the third time
passed through saltpetre earth—through No.
3. After the beer, as it is called by saltpetre
makers, has settled, draw it off into another
vessel and add common ley toil nntil it ceases
to curdle or cloud, then it may be boiled until
it thickens, or until a drop of the beer thrown
on a cold surface crystalises. The beer should
then be suffered to cool, when the saltpetre
will form in beautiful white crystals. The
saltpetre should then be dried in the sun, and
afterwards pul up in bags or boxes for ship
ment.
The mother beer—after the crystalized salt
petre has been taken out—should be put back
in the boiler agaiu, for it contains considera
ble saltpetre not crystalized. Should the salt
petre have a dingy color, it is because too
much ley has been put in it. The petre may
be purified by soaking it in a tub of clear water,
and in that case the water should afterwards
be put into the boiler, because it contains a
great deal of the s<petro in solution.
It will be remembered that the beer, follow
ed through the entire process of manufacture,
was first passed through hopper No. 1 twice,
and then once through hopper No. 2. This
was done to give a beer holding a large quan
tity of saltpetre In solution, and thereby ma
king the boiling process that much less. Now,
to keep this up, pass tho water through No. T,
then through No. 2, and afterwards through
No. 8, and thence to the boiler- Now, No. 1
has been dripped three times, and is exhaust
ed of caltpetre, and may be emptied and re
filled with new earth. While this is being
done to No. 1, pass water through No. 2, then
through No. 3, and lastly through No. 4, and
then to the boiler. No. 2 may now be re
filled, aud while it is being done, pass water
through No. 3, then through No. 4, then
4, then through No. 1, and then to the
boiler. By this mode you always have one
hopper being refilled with new earth, and ma
king the beer for the boiler without a stop.
You can increase the number of hoppers to
twelve if you have three hands, and then yon
can make a proper division of the work—one
engaged in boiling, one refilling the hoppers,
and the third making lye. When the earth
contains an average amount of saltpetre,
three hands can make about one hundred tbs.
per day.
The government is giving 50 cents per po’d
for all saltpetre delivered at any depot on a
railroad, in good condition for transportation
on tho cars, until the first day of January,
1863, and payment will he made on the re-
oeipt of the depot agent, by any quartermas
ter in the Confederate service.
P. 8.—Common alum may be used to crys-
t&lise the saltpetre instead cf lye, but the
writer is not familiar with the use of alum in
making saltpetre, and therefore cannot give
the quantity to he urc-d. The manufacturer
can experiment until he gets the proper pro
portion.
