D„ was a rip-snorting cattle town at the end of the old Chisholm trail ’its residents have beSn damning ,the “ soap holes” that plagued the area. Fast-riding cowboys often took a nasty tumble in this super-slip­ pery mud and cattle were forever getting bogged down in them. _• But now, like a man discovering his hives are really a blessing, Belle Fourche has found its soap holes are one of its biggest assets, Every one of them is filled with a magic mud called bentonite. It’s an odorless, tasteless, soapy mud ’.with a thousand uses and scientists are thinking up new ones every day. Most of us already are using it a half dozen times a day, but al- •most nobody has heard of it. Men use it in shoe polish and hand ‘cleaners. Women use it in face Bentonite is the most absorb­ ent material found in nature. When moistened it swells to several times its normal size. This quality makes it useful in waterproofing housing founda­ tions and many other industrial uses. ,, powder, lotions, beauty creams', * Bentonite also is found in many [types of paint, plaster and cleaning agents. It’ s handy for filling holes jin giant dams and for casting, moulds for molten metal. Forced [down thousands of feet into the earth this magic mud lubricates the drills in oil wells and sends the debris up to the drillers. Its new uses and increasing popu­ larity for its older uses all add up to a boom such as Belle Fourche hasn’t seen since the gold rush. In the past 10' years the popula­ tion has practically doubled and bentonite now pours §600,000 a year into the town in the form of additional purchasing power. Fifteen years ago Belle Fourche shipped out three carloads of bentonite. Last year its production was 6,187 carloads and this year they expect carloadings to go con­ siderably higher. Scientists say that bentonite, a strange mixture made up mostly of dust from prehistoric volcanos, is found almost nowhere in the world except in the Black Hills of Wyo­ ming and South Dakota, It is the most absorbent material nature ever has devised, they say, and a half dozen teaspoonsful will soak up a glass of water.
