MUCH OPPOSITION TO
CLAYTON BILL IN SENATE

WASHINGTON, Aug. pa di-
versity of views on the exemption or
labor and agricultural organizations
from the operation of the antitrust
law blocked the progress of the
Clayton bill in the senate yesterday.
The only vote resulted in striking out
by a vote of SO to IA the provision
exempting consumers organizations.
Senator Cummins announced that as
drawn the paragraph exempting
labor and agricultural organizations
would exempt the Chicago beef pack
ers who could organize as agricul-
tural organizations. He said he
would offer a substitute.

new SEARCH IS
ON FOR POTASH
DRILLING OUTFIT BEING TAKEN
FROM FALLON TO BLACK
ROCK DESERT

Renewed efforts to find potash in
Nevada have just been ordered by
the United States geological survey
and will be begun at once in the
Black Rock desert, says the Reno
Gazette. H. s.. Gale, who is con-
nected with the survey, is at Fallon,
securing the drilling rig which was
used near Timber Lake, northeast of
Fallon, when a hole was sunk to
prospect for potash. and he will go
to the vicinity of Gerlach on the
Western Pacific railroad the last of
the week. Already several carloads
of pipe have been shipped for use in
sinking a deep well in the potash
search.
When Mr.. Gale goes to the scene
of operations this week he will be
accompanied by Prof. j. c. Jones of
the geological department Of the
Mackay school of mines. Prof. Jones
was with him at Fallon and return
ed this morning. He has been work.
ing on the problem of the age of the
ancient Lake Lahontan. which is
closely connected with the potash
search problem, as from it may be
determined whether large or small
deposits of the valuable salt might
be found. Prof. Jones has come to
the conclusion that the lake is about
$500 years old, and believes from
his researches that Pyramid Lake is
part Of the old lake. Others have
held that it is a new lake in part of
the bed of the ancient lake. which 1T
one time is believed to have extend
ed as far west as Golconda, north
to the Oregon line, south to Walker
Lake and west to Honey Lake. His
conclusions are formed from study
of the tufa deposited in the lake bed.
Prof. Jones has been working on the
Tufa problem both in Pyramid Lake
and in the Salton Sea, where he
made Investigations a year ago for
the Carnegie institute.
The potash salt the government
hopes to find in the Black Rock des-
ert is chloride of potash, or kainit.
This is used as a fertilizer, in manu-
featuring cyanide of potash and is
commercially valuable in other ways.
1t is not so much valued as a fertil-
izer. however, as the sulphate of
potash. which is more in demand for
use on citrus trees in fruit districts.
Additional interest is given the
search for potash in the Black Rock
desert because the importations from
Germany are necessarily halted be-
cause of the war.
According to E. S. Reader, who is
in charge of the Reno office of the
Western Pacific, the nitrate of pot
ash is found in a chemically pure
state in the upper end of the Black
Rock desert in small quantities. He
has made several Investigations and
has had some prospecting done. In
places it is deposited on rocks and
in other places it Is to be found in
pure blocks of some size. The
source from which the deposits
come, however, has not been found.
Prof. Jones confirms his statement
as to the presence of nitarate of pot
ash salt in that region. AS to the
manufacture of cyanide from pot
ash, Prof. Jones says sodium cyan
ide is coming into more general use.
1t may be made with the aid of COM
on salt, which is sodium chloride,
and is manufactured in the United
States, so that no lack of cyanide
for mining purposes is to be feared.

LARGE PRODUCTION
OF MINERAL WATER

|
Although nearly 5S,000,000 gal
Ions of mineral water was bottled
and sold in 1913, valued at over So
600 $1,000, these figures represent a de-
crease of z per cent In quantity and
Is per cent in value compared with
1912. The decrease in production
of mineral waters, which began in
1911, is believed by r. B. Dole, OF
the United States geological survey,
to be traceable to the decrease in
demand for bottled spring waters
consequent on improvements in
municipal waterworks. Detailed ex-
animation of the statistics for the last
few years shows that the installa-
ton of municipal publication plants
in several large cities has been fol-
lowed by a marked degree in the sale
of spring waters in the immediate vi
cinity, and doubtless improvement in
the quality of water supplies in small
Ter municipalities throughout the
country has similarly affected the
mineral-water business and has con-
tributed to the present lowered pro-
duction. There is also a tendency
toward a lower price, which is caused
by decreased sales of high-priced
medicinal waters and increased safes
of low-priced table waters. The gen.
eral tendency toward a decline in
price is doubtless due to the demand
for good, pure, potable bottled waters
at moderate cost in place of tho for
mer demand for waters reputed to
possess exceptional curative proper
ties and therefore commanding farcy
prices.
In 1913 the state of New York led
in the number of commercial springs,
the quantity of water sold, and the
value of table water, and nearly tied
Wisconsin for first place in total
value. Indiana led in the value of
medicinal water sold. New York aod
Wisconsin reported sales of more
than 5000, 900 gallons of mineral
water each, and Is other states also
reported large sales, ranging from
1,O53,429 gallons in Colorado to A.
SO2 ,053 gallons in Minnesota. In
Wisconsin, New York and California
the total value of the mineral water
output exceeded 100000. Nearly
half the trade was in the hands OF a
few very large producers. Five
springs sold more than a million gal
Ions each and 20 springs more than
500 900 gallons each. Fifty-four
springs did more than $4,000 worth
of business each, seliing a total of
nearly 29, 1000, 900 gallons for more
than $3,60O,O0O. Yet, though half
the sales were made by a few pro-
ducers, the business as a whole was
one of small producers
supplying local demand: for besides
the big dealers just mentioned, there
are 784 others whose annual sales
range in value from S. to $2O,O 900
and whose individual fields of &C
tlvity occupy every state in the union.
The radioactivity of mineral waters
has attracted so much popular atten-
ton during the last few years that
the geological surveys report on min
eral waters this year has been made
to include a brief discussion by Mr..
Dole on the therapeutic value of
radioactive waters and the radioac-
tive strength of many well-known
springs. A copy of the report may
be obtained free on application to the
director of the geological survey

Is a reality about this particular fire
picture that is foreign to the majority
of efforts at Ike effect. The fire is
not overdrawn. but at the same time
il furnishes the thrills that are de-
manded of a picture of its kind.
, This picture is a liberal education
to young and old alike, inasmuch as it
shows the relentless manner in which
the secret service men pursue their
prey until the crook is captured. 1t
demonstrates in a vivid manner the
battle of wits between crooks and thief
taker 1t shows, at times, the crook
in the ascendency, but with right and
law and order the ultimate victors.
