formulating demands for an increase In
the wago scale. AS far could be
learned, however. no confirmation OF this
could be secured yesterday, aud many
who were seen expressed tho heller that

the result OF the action OF the Bingham
miners.

PHOSPHATE EXTENT
SIMPLY ENORMOUS
Billions of Tons Valuable

BETTER LAWS NEEDED
Deposits Located in Utah,
Idaho, Montana and in
Wyoming.

The largest known phosphate field In
the world Hes in the Rocky Mountain
region in the states Of Idaho. Montana,
Utah, and Wyoming. and most OF the
deposits belong to the United States, be-
ing on public land. Phosphate rock, as
is well known, Is the principal source OF
phosphorus, one OF the, three necessary
plant foods The exact boundary OF this
phosphate bearing area is still unoeter-
mined. but each year as investigation
has been pushed by the United states
geological survey its limits have been
more accurately defined by extension In
some directions and retraction In others.
Phosphate in this general region was
first discovered in northeastern Utah and
southeastern Idaho In the vicinity OF the
Jdaho-U Utah state lines. From this To-
cality the deposits have been traced
north. southcast, and west half way
across tho states OF Idaho. Utah and wy
