To The INDEPENDENT: The special dis

morning 10 wholly untrue. We have NO

umpire gave Thorn. The assertion that the
umpire is = Helena man and favored our
team is very easily contrsdicted, a. he il
employed n Missoule.. and was run off .

csivsd fair play the score would have been

Acknowledged that the runner did not touch

second baseman, who had run to the inside

runner to take long cut, was in
the runners way. Through these two
eighth inning, the Missoulas scored four
runs, thereby winning the game. Another
decision 10 made was = ~scrippler" for us.
Our rune who WAS OF thiEd base stealing
home, was touched by the Missoula catcher.
but he did not hold it against the runner
who came with suoh force that the ball fell
on the ground. The umpire declared the
runner out saying the catcher was not sup
posed to hold the ball. These are a few Of
the many decisions We received, and I fail
TO know Of any decision rendered in our
favor that Was unfair to the homo team.
The umpire allowed the Nissoula pitcher to
deliver the ball illegally. violating rule a2,
we wished to change n of our men. 1t
was also rumored that the umpire had
money on tho game, and our ~scorekeeper
heard him make . remark to that effect when
hs rendered those rank decisions in the
eighth inning. Nissoula people know very
we'll, a. several of them remarked TO me
after the game, that had We received fair
treatment from the umpire the M~issoulas
would not nave been in it. However. We
will give them a game in Helena shortly,
with an umpire who knows the difference
between a foul ball and = fair ball. These
are the plain facts and csnnot be disputed
by anyone We were robbed of the Mis-
soula game, not beaten. Regarding the
spike remark, it was made more as a joke
than anything else, as the Missoula mar
had got in the runners way and the coache1
said. III he gets in your way again, spike
ignorance by taking notice of the remark.

varies from all shades of gray and brown to
snow white, lemon, sulphur, violet. blue and
green. The yellow tint indicates the
presence Of chrome or bromide OF sodium,
while oxides of iron, copper and manganese
account for the red, green and black shades.
The origin of these deposits has been and
is still the subject of ingenious cOnjectures,
no one of which is entirely satisfactory. The
most probable seems to be that which at
tributes the formation of this substance to
the decomposition of sea weeds, the nitro
genous collectors of iodine. At one time it
is supposed, and fossil remains confirm the
theory, that the present continent was sea
bottom. BY the lifting up of the land
through volcanic action great lakes OF salt
water were formed In the valley. Gradually
the salt water evaporated, and the seaweed
con tanned in it began to decompose and
form nitric acid, which, coming In contact
with chalk, supplied by shells and limestone,
formed nitrate of calcium, in presence OF the
sulphate Of soda deposited by the sea water.
produced a change of elements with this
latter salt, the result of the double decom-
position being sulphate Of calcium and nj
tTate of soda.
Another theory is that large deposits Of
guano have undergone nitriication and
produced chemical reactions in the same
way as the seaweed, and certain organic
remains found in ''caIiche" would give
color to this theory also. Another theory is
that the nitrifcation of the sodium, the
presence of which in the soil is easily ac-
counted for, was produced by the violent
and abundant electrical discharges which
are common in the Andes, and that the
present disposition of the "caliche" along
the slopes Of the foothills is due to capillary

LAND OF NITRATE.
Description of the Pampas and
the Way to Reach Them.
speculatIcAs Relating to the Production Of
Nitrates Reaching Back Into the Ages
Thousands Of Years.

The revolution IN Chile, which has para
lived the industries of the nation ana
blocked the wheels Of Government assumes
an attitude OF more than ordinary interest
to the nations of the earth-outside of the
fact that it imperis the life Of one Of the re-
publIes of the Western Hemisphere-fOr the
reason that it for the time being cuts off
supply of nitrate products, Of which in the
past Chile has been the main producer. In
view of the present condition Of affairs the
following. article on the nitrate desert Of
= Tarapaca will be found deeply interesting
to many readers of THE CALL.
There are but few towns on the face Of
file earth where one may lead with satisfae-
tion a delicately material life. 1t suffices
to say that Iquique. latitude 200 ~ Is"
south, is not one of them. From the point
of view Of population Iquaue is the seventh
city of Chile, the order being Santiago, Val
paraiso, Conception. Talca, CHILEAN and
Serena From the point Of view Of CON-
MERGE it is second in Importance and interest
only to Valparaiso. for it is the great busi-
ness and export center of the nitrate trade,
which is the true source Of the present
wealth Of Chile. UhinYiting as the place

similar. but the effect varies as the Ugh
changes. Strong winds prevail during the
middle of the day, raising clouds of dust,
butthe evening. night and early morning
are calm, and at sunset the brown hills as
sumo the most brilliant cOlors, while the
gray, sandy, pampa becomes tinted with
pink and violet.
The production of nitrate of soda is di-
vided into two distinct operations; the ex-
traction Of the raw material or ''caliche''
FROM the ground, and the extraction of the
nitrate itself from the raw material, and the
separation of it from other accompanying
substances. The beginning of the process is
a ''tiro" (F), or hole 80 or 35 centimeters in
diameter pierced through the bed of raw
nitrate by means Of long crow-bars and
spOOn-shovels TO serape out the dirt. When
the hole is Of sufficient depth, a little boy
drops down the shaft and digs out an in-
verified cup-shaped excavation of greater
diameter than the shaft itself, and IN this
cavity the blasting powder is placed, and
then the hole is filed up and the fuse lighted.
The object aimed at is simply to break the
