6ETTING RID OF ALkAlI
Farmer Bulletin Treating Specially on
Alksli Soils and Question Of Drainage


The SENTINEL is in receipt of Farmers
Bulletin No. 446. through the courtesy
of Senator Geo. S. Nixon. 1t was is
sued by the Department Of Agriculture
at Washington and is devoted to the
choice Of crops for alkali lands.
One Of the most serious obstacles to
agriculture in the arid portion Of the
United States is the frequent presence
in the soil of alkali-au excess of
readily soluble salts. Irrigated land
that has q high water table is most like
ly to suffer from this cause. The his
tory Of agricultural development in the
West contains numerous instances of
irrigation projects that had q promising
beginning in localities where land
values have subsequently been much
impaired by the raise of alkali.
IL has been estimated that one-tenth
of the irrigated land in the western
United States. or approximately $780, 900
acres, contains an injurious quantity of
alkali salts.
According to the bulletin, the remedy
unquestionably is to get rid Of the ex-
cess Of salts wherever possible by drain
age. as well as planting crops which
are most likely to give satisfactory re-
suits. 1t may be well for any farmer
in this locality who is specially inter.
ested in this subject to write Senator
Nixon for the above bulletin.

We notice the name OF Sam Brannau,

interests in that quarter.

to say that the Western Union Tele-
graph office will be moved into Wells,
Fargo & Cos building on Main street
on the LIST OF next month.
We learn that the owners OF the
Hannah mine, situated in New York
Canyon, have struck water at q depth Of
160 feet. This is an important item in
the history OF our district. as it has al
ways been argued that in limestone
formation water does not exist. Outside
Of the real benefit to mines that water
may be obtained for nothing. the truth
is that the ore increases in value when
water is struck.
Ii is a well established fact that the
value and permanency Of mines depend
largely on their depth. In many dis
tricts where the general formation or
country rock is limestone ore channels
or surface deposits seem to form the
rule. This district. however, is an ex-
ception. A large number of lodges
have been sunk on from 100 to 800 feet,
and in no single instance has the ORC
"petered" out; on the contrary, all
mines seem to improve in size and rich
ness as depth is attained. This we con-
sider a very gratifying showing in con-
nection with the future prosperity
OF the district. Unlike most mineral
bearing sections located in limestone we
have here well defined veins with walls
so perfect that it is wholly impossible to
mistake them. II is not isolated cases
that We refer to, but the same rule OBJ
tsins almost universally throughout this
district. While it is true that some Of
the best defined lodges are comparative
ly small it is also certain that they
widen as explorations are extended deep
down into the bowels OF the earth.
Viewing the mining situation under
standingly and impartislly we have no
reason to doubt that there is a long and
prosperous future in store for Eureka.
