of the volunteers conceived the idea of
mining the road and touching the fuse

some on the other. ready to discharge
their rifles into what might be left OF
the assailants.
The day passed without incident, but
as the night wore on the strain OF the
situation began to tell on the nerves
OF the defenders. Presently. however,
there was the sound of hoofs on the
highway. approaching rapidly. Such
was the state of mind OF the defenders
that the sounds appeared to Indicate

fash lighting up the scene as the first
horseman reached the spot told that
the mine had been exploded and 1t had
done its work. There was not vestige
of an army to be seen when the smoke
cleared away excepting the scattered
fragments OF big black mule.

GOVERNMENT EXPERT Elk.
AMINES NITRE DEPOSITS

The nitre deposits adjacent to Love
lock are beginning to attract the at
tention OF government experts. This
week a representative of the q. S
geological survey has been in Love
lock looking Over thhe deposits and
taking samples Of the earth and rock
containing the nitre salts and the re-
suits will be published in the regular
government geological reports.
III. s. Gale is the biologist who has
been doing the government work here
this .week, and who viii be in this sec
tion and at Fallon for some time
time. While he could give no definite
statement of the results Of his ~investi-
cations, it was quite evident that he
was strongly impressed with the ex-
tent and strength of the deposits of
nitre and other salts in the fields adj
jacent to Loveloek.
The extent Of these deposits is
twenty to twenty-five miles long and
four to six miles wide. Not that there
is a continuous bed of these salts of
that extent, but they occur in various
stratas and deposits over that extent
of territory, along the eastern border
of the Humboldt sink.
Attempts have been made to ex-
tract the salts from these deposits at
various times, but they have not been
present in high enough percentage to
make such extraction practicable.
While there are limited areas that
would yield a high percentage of salts,
the larger areas would yield but a
small percentage.
Chile is now and has been for some
time the chief source of supply for
nitre, which is shipped in from that
country by water at a very low rate
to the Pacific coast, where il is used
in the manufacture of powder as well
as for medicines and in commercial
fertilizers. But the supply from Chile
shows signs of failing and now users,
as well as the government, are look
ing for other sources of supply. A
special appropriation was recently
made to see TO what extent these salts
could be found in the United States,
and that is Mr.. Gales work in Nevada
at the present time.
Parties interested in these deposits
have abandoned the idea of trying to
extract the salts for their commercial
value, and are now WORKING on a plan
to use the earth and rock containing
these salts in bulk as commercial fer
t~ilizers, on areas where the soils have
been drained of these fertilizing salts
by intensive cultivation. The pros
poets for success in this line are very
eneouraging-Lovelock Tribune.
