In refining the turpentine in the crude form, pine oil and rosin oil are produced while during the process of refining the creosote, boiled tar and still more crude-turpentitie can be ob- tained. In addition to these products there is the charcoal which results from the destructive process.and pine tar which is produced during the bak- ing process and is piped from the re- torts to an underground storage tank, An idea of the vastness of this in- dustry may easily be obtained if the total products of one cord of stumps are taken into consideration. Under this process the average productior ig as follows: turpentine, 15 to 20 gal- gons; tar, 30 to 60 gallons; Creosote, 30 to 60 galons; Pyroligneous acid, 100 gallons; charcoal, 600 to 900 pounds, and gas, 7,000 feet. H. A. Schlingsby, company chem- ist, is well pleased with the results as far as the distillation process has been carried out to date, and reports that an average of ten gallons of tur- pentine has already been obtained per cord from the first part of the distil- lation which has. just barely char- red the stumps.
