Cruz Cement: SANTA CRUZ, city, California, and Santa Cruz County seat, altitude 15 feet; on Monterey Bay; on the Southern Pacific Railroad; by rail, 81 miles south of San Francisco. In the surrounding area are farms and nurseries, orchards and vineyards; the Santa Cruz mountains are timbered, and the handling of lumber is one of the city's major industries. In and about Santa Cruz cement, leather, fishing, and bulb-growing furnish fields for enterprise; and resort business is an important item.
SANTA CRUZ, river, Argentina, about 250 miles long. It flows east out of Lake Argentine in the western part of Santa Cruz territory and empties into the Atlantic Ocean at Santa Cruz.
SANTA CRUZ, river, Arizona and Mexico. It rises in the Patagonia and Huachuca mountains in southern Arizona, and flows south into Sonora, northwest Mexico, turns north to Tucson and then northwest and flows into the Gila River.
The resulting cement, produced from the formerly discarded grappiers, was of much higher quality than that obtained from the unsintered material. This fact was firmly established by the English cement manufacturer L. C. Johnson in 1845, and the term "portland cement" has since been applied solely to the cement made from the sintered material. This period marks the real beginning of the portland cement industry. |
