! ed that the overwhelming defeat OF
the proposed New York state consti-
tuition would have an adverse effect
on this sentiment, but republicans who
are interested in the Root movement
say that they are convinced that the
vote on the New York state ronstitu-
ton will not have any serious effect
upon Mr.. Roots chances. They lind
that his participation in the constl-
tutional convention has strengthened
him in many quarters, especially
throuih the speech delivered by him
on Invisible Government"
Mr.. Roots friends have acquainted
him with this sentiment in the party,
but they have found him just as
strongly of the opinion now as he ever
was that he should not under any cir
cumstances undertake any active can
didacy for the nomination. Mr.. Roots
own view, according to these friends,
is that his age alone-he would be II
years old when he entered the White
House if elected-is sufficient to deter
him from offering himself as candi-
date, but it the party itself should call
him it would be another matter

Republican leaders here believe that
If Mr., Root takes no step to prevent a
movement to nominate him his name
will be very formidable from this time
forward. 1t is the understanding here
that the Root movement is to be left
to take care of itself as a matter of
spontaneity.
In Minnesota an organization has
been formed and as a result Mr.. Roots
name will probably go on the ballot
and be voted for in the primary. Min

licans in washington have been pre-

LEAD AND THE ORIENT
A PROMISING MARKET
FAILURE OF AUSTRALIAN SUP.
PLY OPENS NEW FIELD FOR
AMERICAN PRODUCERS.

The war has produced shortage in
lead in many quarters, and Australia,
one of the principal producers, has
recently stopped expectation. This has
affected China and the demand there
will probably be supplied from the
United States by way of the Pacific
coast.
Nevada is not a heavy producer of
lead, but her production is sufficient
to give her material interest in the
markets and market conditions for
this metal. The intermountain coun-
try generally is a big producer and is
ularly the price at Hong Kong, which
at the present time is said to be $113
per ton against $6S a year ago. I'm
der normal conditions lead reaches
the orient through Japan, Great Brit
ain and Russia, but supplies from
these sources are no longer available

the question of shipping from San

roundabout road to reach Hong Kong,

chance for the Pacific coast cities to
build up a trade that will continue
long after peace in Europe is declar-

gests a foreible argument in support
of an ample merchant marine.
Cut Out Panama and Suez.
The total production of lead in nor

is approximately 10000 tons per an

ical reason for sending any large pro-
portion of this product mined between
the Mississippi and the Pacific by way
of the Suez canal to the orient Its
natural course would be across the
Pacific, along with the thousands of
shiploads of other products of the
same section.

Elihu Root of New York will accept
the nomination for president if it is
rendered to him by the next republic
can convention. He is not seeking the
nomination, however, and will take no
steps to advance his candidacy.
Acting on this understanding of Mr..
Roots attitude, strong advocates of
his nomination, men of national prom
inence in the republican party coun-
ellis, will enter upon a campaign to
nominate him.
The Sun is informed on the highest
authority that the advocates of Mr..
Roots nomination now know his posi-
ton and that they have been assured
that Mr.. Root will heed the call If his
party asks him to lead.
This information has come to the
Sun direct from men who have taken
pains to inform themselves authorita-
lively. There are many corroborative
facts. For example, here is a state
ment made by a citizen of Minneapo-
lis. Walter N. Carroll prominent at
torney and friend Of ex-senator
Root:
"Mr. Root received me at his home
in Clinton after I had talked with
Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the re-
nublican national committee. | told
him the situation in Minnesota, where
there is strong sentiment for him.
informed him that the republicans in
Minnesota had been told that Roose-
welt would support him.
''Mr. Roots words were these. VI
course If the nomination were offefed
to me I should feel it my duty to &C
cept even if it killed it,"
RooseveIt's Attitude.
Mr. Carroll said he was convinced
that an organization would be started
in Minnesota for Mr. Root. AS to Col
Roosevelts probable attitude toward
Mr. Root Mr.. Carroll is quoted as say
inc that Col Roosevelt told friends IN
Minnesota while on his way TO the
Panama Pacific exposition that ne
would support Mr.. Root If nominated
Republicans in Washington nave
had information for some time that
Col. Roosevelt was so deeply interest

IDAHO PHOSPHATE LAND
THE GREATEST DEPOSIT
GOVERNMENT HAS WITHDRAWN
IT FROM ENTRY-sTATE
SHOULD RESTORE 1T.

A grave problem for the farmer is
TO discover the needs of his depleted
or unfavorably proportioned soil. Its
greatest need may be phosphoric acid,
one OF the three substances that are
most necessary in maintaining fertil-
lty, the other two being nitrogen and
potash. Phosphoric acid for use in
fertilizers has been supplied for many
years in part by the phosphates of
Florida and Tennessee and from is
lands in the Pacific ocean. These de-
posts can not always supply the de-
mand, and therefore the recent dis
coVery that the Rocky mountains con-
tain the largest known area of phos-
phate rock in the world is of vital in
terest to future generations. if not to
the present one.
First Discovery.
Albert Richter claims to be the or
iginal discoverer of the western phos-
phate deposits, because he recognized
rock phosphate in Cache country,
Utah, in 1889 and located claims on it.
These phosphate deposits are said to
have been independently discovered in
1897 by r. A. Lidcock in Rich county,
Utah, in old diggings in black rock
that he mistook for gold prospects. A
large sample analysed in 1899, how
ever, proved to be high grade phos-
plate rock. In 1908, on recommended
ton of the geological survey, the sec
rotary of the interior withdrew from
entry 100000 acres of public land in
Idaho, Utah and wyoming believed to
be valuable for phosphate, and this
by the president under the act of
June rs, 1910.
Government Withdraws Land.
In 1909 and succeeding years these
phosphate deposits were systematieal-
ly examined by the United States geo.
logical survey, and in 1910 phosphate
rock was discovered in Montana, near
Melrose by Geologist H. S. Gale. On
January 1, 1915, the total area of the
phosphate lands in Montana, Utah,
wyoming and Idaho withdrawn from
entry was 2,713,155 acres. This phos-
phate reserve is larger than any sim
liar area in the United States; it is,
indeed, the largest area of phosphate
rock yet recognized in the world
United States geological survey.
