Valuable Field on the Rio
Grande Southeast of FL
PaSO.

/ In the foothills about 200 miles
southeast of Ell Paso, Texas, in the val
/ ley of the Rio Grande, are situated two
sections of school land. one on the east
bank of the river and the other about
! three miles east of it, which contain
| the principal exposed deposits of nj
! trate bearing rock, which have located
under the mining laws of Texas. The
| land is reached from the nearest rail-
| way station on the G. II. & S. A. rail-
way by a wagon road about 80 miles
/ in length. A valley road runs from
the vicinity of these deposits to Pre-
! sidio del Norte, some so miles below,
where the Kansas City, Mexico & ORR
ent railroad will cross the river.
The foothills in which the deposits
| occur are of volcanic origin and the
deposits lay in a stratum of varying
| thickness, from four TO eight feet, near
ly horizontal, of a gray tuffa or what
appears to be rhyolite- Overlying this
stratum is a coping of darker volcanic
rock of varying thickness. 10 to 20 feet,
subsequent lava flow. The nitrate
stratum is exposed by canyons or ra
vines cutting the formation.
Long Exposure on Range.
In one ravine the stratum is exposed
continuously about half mile on both
sides OF the gulch. The rock is fra
BILE and on exposure decomposes and
small caves from three to ten feet in
length and width, and from six to ei ght
feet high. The roofs, floors, sides and
faces of which show seams or veins Of
rich sodium nitrates filling the cracks
throughout the rock mass. These veins
are the efforescence or teachings from
the magma which appears by analysis
TO carry more or less sodium nitrate
Careful examinations over wide
area show that nitrates are found only
in the strata containing a large per cent
Of soda. No trace of animal remains
nor excreta from fowl or bats is de-
tected anywhere. These deposits could
not be from drainage nor teaching from
such sources. 1t is probable that the
nitrogen was absorbed by the porous
soda lavaS from the atmosphere when
it was heated to the very hi5h tempera-
ture due to volcanic flows which oxidiz-
ed the nitrogen. The same processes
by artificial means are employed in the
Norwegian saltpeter works at Notodden.
and in an experimental plant at Niagara
Falls.
Spaniards Utilized Deposits.
In a hill near the river is an old
working, along the face of the bluff

Roswell, n. NJ, July 9.-The new
Smith building, on Fourth street, fac

completion and will be one of the hand
soonest and mos substantial buildings
in the city. The material used was
taken from the old court house that was
RACED to make room for the $3.50, 900
new court house that is under course
of construction. The new Smith build
ing has native stone front for the first
story and the second story front is Of
cement. The building is owned by R.

the Oklahoma block on Main street

EXTENSIVE SALTPETER DEPOSITS
ONCE WORKED BY WARRIlIG SPAN|ARDS

about so feet in length and ten feet
high and ten feet in width where the
stratum is thick. In the center of this
face an adit about 40 or so feet has
been driven into the hill. The seams
of the efforescence occur the entire
distance in, as well as on the surface
workings of the face. 1t is said that
the Spaniards mined here for saltpeter
to make gunpowder, which was used
IN the military forts along the river
and possibly for powder used in the
mines. This work demonstrates that
the nitro rock extends under the cap
rock indefinitely beyond the influence
Of any organic remains.
That the country rock is highly i'm
pregnated with soda is evident from
the deposits along the beds of the can
yOns and along the bases of the hills
from which they have leached. Samples
OF the rock showing no visible effores-
cence give as high as per cent So
dunn nitrates. From this rock, broken
in fragments and placed in water. the
nitrates are quickly dissolved or
leached and obtained by boiling or
evaporation.
Near one section of the land is a can
yon about three miles long running to
the river. in the bed of which a small
stream of water runs, adequate for a
small teaching plant The river, how
ever, will afford abundance of water
for large plant for both claims at
central point. There is some wood in
the mountains above and also along
the river, and a few miles up the valley
are OutcrOppings of coal. Being in an
extremely hot and arid valley, solar
evaporation would appear to be the
most feasible method of precipitating
the nitrates, which is done in Chile.
Analysis by Reckhart
The following analyses were made
by D. W. Reckhart of the Independent
assay office, in Ell Paso:
Sodium Nitrate
No-1-Hard rock with some
efforescence. ..261z per cent
No. 2-ShelleS rock from
surface face of stratum Il per cent
(No efforescence)
No. 3-Plain rock from
walls-no efforescence. e. per cent
No. Sample rock rich
in effOrescent rock .....36 per cent
No. Sample from face of
excavation near river. Go per cent
No 6-Rich efforescence
from seams in stratum IL per cent
The cost OF hauling and freight to
market is not ascertained. but can be
readily learned by a visit to the
country.
The river valley is largely under Gull
tivation and small villages of Mexicans
nearby afford good and cheap labor in
abundance.

Norton Hand and j. o. Manley of So
zorro, N NJ, have arrived in Ell Paso
from Nacozari, Sonora, Mex, on their
way to the Ma gdalena mountains, west
Of SocorrO, New Mexico, where they
have group Of six mining claims. The
prospects are about midway between
Socorro and Kelly, and in a COMPARE
lively new and undeveIoped field.
The claims are located so as to cover
all the outcroppings possible and we
shall locate more as soon as we arrive
on the ground said Mr.. Manley.
Through the claims runs a strong vein,
the pay streak of shipping ore being
six feet wide. The ore consists of two
distinct classes of oXidized zinc. One
is straight zinc carbonates and runs
from 35 to 40 per cent, while the other
class is dry bones or zinc Silicates,
running between 40 and so per cent zinc.
The vein lies in a contact between
limestone and lime shales on the one
side and porphyry on the other"
Hand and Manley are both practi-
cal miners and have been working in
the big copper mines of Nacozari for
some time to get means to begin opera
tfons on their zinc properties

CHINESE SAILORS
MUTlNY N JUMP
lM SEA; FOUR DROWN

Philadelphia, June 20..-A mutiny on
board the British steamship Highland
Monarch, outward bound for Auckland,
New Zealand, followed by a dash for
liberty by a dozen Chinese members OF
the crew resulted In the drowning to-
day of four, and the narrow escape of
three others. The men rescued are in
a police station while the remainder of
the mutineers are in irons aboard the
ship.
The trouble started last night. The
Highland Monarch a been lying in
the Schuylkill river at Point Breeze in
the extreme southwestern part of the
city for three weeks, loading case oil
for New Zealand. AS the United States
immigration Law places a fine of $500
on the ca plain of a steamship for every
Chinese meinber of a crew that es-
capes, tfa 20 Cinnamon aboard were
not permitted to leave the vessel while
the other 20 men in the crew. all En-
glishmen, were given liberal shore
leave.
The confinement grew irksome and as
the ship was to sail today, one of the
mongolians asked First Mate Bowman
to allow him a few hours on shore. Be-
ing refused, the Chinaman drew "a
knife and chased the first mate about
the ship. The man was finally tripped
by a white member of the crew and in
falling cut himself.
