OUR PHOSPHATE BEDS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
In the article on the phosphate beds Of this
State, which appeared in the Courier of yester-
day morning, observe note from Professor
F. 8. Holmes. giving the credit Of the discovery
OF the true value OF the beds to Dr.. N. A Pratt,
OF Georgia, whose analysis showed 63 per cent.
CT phosphates. This is followed by some re-
marks showing that the richness Of these
marls in phosphate Of lime had been detected
some years previous; Professor Tuomey, after
wards the State geologist, having detected rs
per cent, when his predecessors had only dis
covered II per cent, is it not somewhat singu-
lar that men highly competent to fill the
positions which they hold, and appoint
led by our Legislature for the especial
purpose of ascertalning the true mineral
wealth of the State, should have made
elaborate analyse5of the same marls-indeed
have heard that Professor Pratt's analysis
was made from portion Of the identical
nodule which had furnished the material oil
Professor Tuomey's researches with such wide
ly varying results If a competent chemist
analyzes any compound substance should he
not trace the true amount Of its component
parts. or at least approximate the true amount
more accurately than one-hfth oft!
Professor Tuomey in the report on the geolo-
gical survey of the State in ls4S, states that
the marls of the State are rich in calcareous
matter beyond example; and in addition to
this they contain phosphate Of lime in very
valuable proportion" page 1851 A foot note
here referred to, says: The merit Of this dis
covery belongs to DR.. Smith and Professor
Shepard" An analysis Of mari from Bees
Ferry, quoted on the same page, gives
four per cent. of phosphate of lime.
Further on we learn that Mr.. Ruf1n has
studied the agricultural value OF these marls
with especial care and success. His inEestiga.
tions were particularly directed to the deter
mination of the carbonate of lime they con
talned." Why? Had not Mr.. Rufin some
