Lumbermen Explore Arsenic Treater Dust for Poles
Pacific coast lumber firms watch a Butte Anaconda Copper trial using treater dust from smelter stacks to preserve piling. Five pounds are buried in holes eight to ten inches deep, costing 3 to 8 cents per pole, with crude arsenic rising to the surface after about a year. A paper wrapper aids drainage, and poles absorb the arsenic as a preservative. Spokane’s Washington Water Power tests the method on a new ten mile line with every other pole treated.
