FIGHTING FOR RICH
POTASH DEPOSITS

Armed men of the California TrOna
company are guarding every desert
road leading to SearleS Lake, great
potash deposit in the northwestern
where a pitched battle between fore
es representing contrasting claimants
to the property is momentarily ex-
pected.
Developments in the strange and
weird drama of the desert have reach
ed the breaking point, and unless the
authorities act quickly it may be
difficult to prevent bloodshed, accord
ing to newspaper accounts reaching
here the past few days from San
Bernardino and Los Angeles.
Briefly, the story of the potash de-
posts in the Searles Lake reads like
a romance of the unconquerable des-
ert, tinged with the glamor of the old
time frontier days, says the Los
Angeles Examiner
In 1908 the vast stretch of SearleS
Lake, lying in the Mohave desert,
vas found to be rich in boraX and
soda ash deposits.
The lake bottom was located to
the extent of 40, 900 acres The Trona
company was formed and work be-
gun. The Foreign Mines Develop
nent company of London and South
Africa was called upon heavily for
financial backing and several years
later, foreclosed on the property and
receiver was appointed by the Fed
"ral circuit court of this district This
receiver is still in charge of the prop
crty. To strengthen it's claims the
company relocated it's claims about
two years ago.
a few months after relocating, the
trouble began. Government experts
working on the lake, discovered pot
ash and reported that the lake con-
tanned practically the only great pot
ash deposits outside of the German
fields. This raised the value of the
deposits to about $2O,OO0,0O0
Henry E. Lee, an attorney of San
Francisco, led a force of thirty armed
men and engineers into the lake a
short time after the relocation. The
party was formed in secret and start
ed from Los Angeles at day-break
After the men had been working on
the lake four days, during which time
175 claims were located They were
startled one morning at daybreak by
the arrival of the federal receiver
who came in wagon and was ac-
companied by six men armed with
shotguns. A conference prevented a
general battle, and an attorney with
the party informed the receiver he
The Parker post. (Parker, Ariz.) 1910-1918, 1912-12-28

would have to go to Los Angeles to
get an injunction before he could put
them Off
The first assessment work was
done in the lake in behalf Of Lees
men, eight of whom held the claims
to the lake bottom.
The second assessment work must
be started before the night Of Decem-
Der 81. The TrOna company having
heard of preparations on behalf Of
he contestants to send armed men
into the field prepared to prevent
this if possible, and men from the
Burns agency were hurried into the
field. They are patrolling the entire
lake with automobiles and are heavily
armed and prepared to prevent the
conte stants- from entering the lake.
If they succeed in preventing these
workmen from entering before the
first of the year, then the locations
by Lees men will be invalid, ac-
cording to the laws governing such
claims.
That a desperate attempt on the
Part of Lees men will be made to
get On the property is the belief of
all concerned.
Reports indicate that possibly the
last great drama of the MOjave is
about to be enacted. The gun men
Of the past half century are flocking
TO the call of their leaders.
On the floor of this desert lake,
almost in the shadow of the Pana-
innt and the Funeral ranges and
south of the Death Valley, the fight
viii be made, and if a pitched bat
tie results it will be between the
;jick of the gun men of the South
west, with twenty million dollars as
the stake.
