A further gain in the production of portland cement may be 

 anticipated for the immediate future. The plant of the Millen 

 Portland Cement Co at Jamesville, Onondaga county, ran only 

 a part of the past season, having been placed in operation for the 

 first time in the spring. The cement is made from limestone 

 quarried by the Solvay Process Co., nearby, who thus dispose of 

 the smaller sizes of stone unsuitable for use in their alkali plant. 

 The limestone, with the shale which is obtained from a local bank, 

 is fed directly into ball mills without any preliminary crushing. 

 From there it passes to tube mills and to the kiln. The plant 

 was designed for a capacity of 700 barrels a day, but will probably 

 exceed that figure when under full headway. 



The portland cement mills in the State now use hard limestone 

 exclusively as the basis of the cement mixture. The use of marl 

 has been discontinued, and the last marl plant, which was operated 

 by the Marengo Portland Cement Co., at Caledonia, was sold 

 last year and dismantled.
