Cementing Quicksands by Air Assisted Cement Injection
A German engineer Neukirch proposes converting sand for foundations into concrete by blowing in air and dry hydraulic cement through a 149 inch pipe with multiple small holes.

The treated area is divided into small squares for uniform mixing, with full strength developing after weeks and months. Also mentions Keeley Institute in Nevada and Ayer’s Pills in unrelated notices.
