Geological Survey TO Contain Mil.

cess Of Process For Extracting the
Potash.
The Leucite Hills of Wyoming, To-
Gated in the Rock Springs coal dis
trict, have long been known among
geologists as interesting examples of
volcanic outfiows of an unusual lava,
They now assume possible economic
importance as source of potash to
meet, in part at least, the steadily in
creasing demand for this fertilizing
material, for which the United States
must now look to Germany The an
nouncement that a western company
intends to erect plant in the Leucite
Hills area for the extraction of potash
and alumina from these rocks makes
opportune a report just issued by the
United States Geological Survey de-
scribing the character and distribu-
ton of this lava formation and esti-
mating the amount of potash and
aiumina it contains.
Possible Potash Resource.
Assuming that the process intended
to be employed proves commercially
feasible, it is highly interesting to
note that the survey places the potash
content of the leucite rock "in sight"
at 197,349,617 tons. This estimate is
based on careful geologic examina-
ton of the area and series of anal
yses of the rock, which show an aver
age potash (K2o) content of over 10
per cent.
During the past 80 years survey
geologists have studied and described
in their reports these lava deposits, so
that the present brief report by Geol-
ogists Whitman Cross and A. r,
Schultz Is simply realization on the
earlier regular geologic work of the
survey. An examination Of the area
was made by Mr.. Cross in 1884, fol-
lowed by careful study, describing
in exact terms these exceptional rock
types, which at that time held only
scientific interest.

was engaged in government coal land

of the shadow, l saw too, more clear
ly, what manner of man he was. His
head, Is I had already discerned 1t
through the gloom, was abnormally
large, yet not out of proportion with
his herculean torso. His red hair,
frowsy, unkempt, was of such abund-
ance that, in the dark, its outline had
given me grotesquely magnified i'm
preston. His red beard, too, was
thick, long, and untrimmed. What lit
tie of his face showed, was sunburned
to what, in the dim light, seemed the
color of ripe russell apples. His eyes
were nearly indiScernible, deep set
under bushy red brows.
