The salt, however. has a much higher specific
gravity than the gypsum, which will make the
tonnage I'm this deposit considerably over one and
one half million tons.
Everything said with regard to deposits four
and FIVE applies equally to all the others in pro-
portion.
The quality of the gypsum is very good In
deed, being almost chemically pure sulphate Of
lime. 1t is free of salt and glauber salt. The
quality OF the salt IS also very good one the
fraction of 1 per cent IN soluble sand and clay
being of detriment to its use, except in such
cases where u highly refined white salt for
human food Is required. Its hardness and the
absence OF magnesiR salts especially fit it for
dairy and cattle range uses. / feel absolutely
confident that the large number of samples
taken by from widely different places viii
only confirm this statement OF the purity OF both
materials throughout the deposit.
1.-The occurrence of the gypsum and salt in
such large bodies. covered only with few feet
of easily stripped debris and entirely overground

sltion. which should enable you to deliver the
material on board cars of your eontempIs ted

BOARD OF WORKS
DEADLOCK STANDS
BrOderick Retains the Eight
Teamsters Whom Commits
sion Had Discharged

The deadlock in the board of works
between the commissioners and Super
intendent Patrick Broderick of the
street repair department continued un-'
changed yesterday. Broderick worked
the eight teamsters who were dis
charged last Wednesday by the boards
order and refused again to put to work
the eight appointed by the board. The
latter, obeying Commissioner Eagans
instructions, presented themselves at 8
O'Clock for orders and remained, their
teams standing idle in front of Brod-
ericls headquarters in Grove street near
Larkin till the noon hour when, with
the men striking work, they went away
Eagan stated that he was very sorry
Broderick had seen 1T to fly in the
face of the boards decree. He init
mated that President Casey was not
I'll pleased with Broderick's obstrep-
erousness. but rather was secretly
chuckling a the latter's defiance of
Eagan's and Days order. Eagan said
the board would be patient with Brod-
erick till the regular meeting next
Wednesday, at which time, If the su-
perintendent had not seen the imposs-
ibility of the department running with
subordinates disregarding the board s
DEGREES, Broderick himself would simply
have TO be dropped.
Broderick said he was perfectly re-
signed to whatever the board might
do to him and that he supposed he
would be fired" He said he had been
put in charge OF the street repair with
out his own solicitation and at the
time. promised free hand The dis
charge of men under him, whom he held
competent, he thought was wrong and
interfering with his own discretion as
promised. Whatever the consequences
he would not stand for it"
