Spanish Potash Deposits

a report from Consul General c. B. Hurst Of BARGE
Iona, Spain, says that the stoppage of shipments of pot
ash salts from Germany by the war has called attention
to the potash deposits that were known to exist near
Barcelona. Behring'S and analyses had been repeatedly
made with reference to the region where the salts
abounded in the Spanish provinces OF Barcelona and
lcrida. The results have been particularly favorable,
bit it will require the employment of capital and enter
prise to make potash in this neighborhood a commercially
profitable product.
In the various borings near the town of Sarria potash
salts were found at depths between III and 1917 feet, and
another deposit at 42o feet. At $50 feet, the greatest
depth attained, important quantities of potassium COM
pounds were found to rest on a stratum of white salt not
yet pierced. In the area tested by borings comprising
some 100000 square feet, there was estimated to be ap-
proXimately 2,55O,OOO tons of Carnalllte and 10000 tons
of sylvinte, which should produce a total of $4,000
tons of potassium salts.
From the general characteristics of the region it is
considered probable that there are further deposits in
greater or less proximity to those already tested. In a
stream running by the salt works of Cardona there is a
discovered that quantities of potash have already been
allowed to go to waste in the salt mines that might have
been proitably used.
On account of the exceptionally irregular geological
formation of the country near Barcelona it is difficult to
make exact valuations of the amount of potash salt that
can be mined. Nevertheless, the presence of certain
gypsum beds and the potash-holding streams will serve
as a guide to determine the continuation of the potash
deposits.
Particular interest has been displayed in these potash
sought to buy concessions or land in which the deposits
are situated, or have been willing to make contracts for
regular shipments to the United States. One large tract
is already owned outside of Spain, but in view of the
great national Importance of the deposits the Spanish
government is taking measures for their supervision, if
not for their exploitation. Because of the small available
supply for use at the present time in Spain the export of
potash from this country is forbidden Professionally.

Carranza and the Peace Appeal

The fate of the pan-American peace appeal, signed by
the United States and various South and Central Ameri-
can countries, and sent to the revolutionary leaders OF
Mexico, is no doubt in the hands of Carranza, self-styled
First Chief of the constituencies" of Mexico. Since
he first entered the revolutionary game in the storm
tossed realm below the border, Carranza has been consist
cnt in his stubbornness. He has refused all overtures
made by the American government in the interest OF
peace and has been scornful of all rival faction leaders.
Carranza has justified his attitude with the declaration
that he is fighting to restore the constitutional rights OF
his people, and for that reason is entitled to recognition.
There is no doubt that he is resentful toward the United
States because President Wilson has withheld recogni-
lion from his government.
With these things in mind it is interesting to learn
how Carranza is considered by the citizens of America
who live close to the border and are therefore in a better
position to judge of conditions. Editorialy the Daily
Star of Tucson, Ariz, recently said:
1t is evident that the chief obstacle to the redemp-
ton of Mexico is the First Chief of the constitution
ahsts. General Carranza is the name of the same old
stubborn and unreasonable hidalgo that prevented the
contamination of the revolution on two or three for
mer occasions, and has already prolonged for more
than a year the situation that is running his country.
Carranza pretends to be an upholder of the Mex
lean constitution-the only authentic and sincere de-
fender of that fine document which was adopted in
1857 and has been little more than an ornament ever
since. The name OF his revolutionary party assumes
its loyalty to the constitution. His own recall was
declared to be an attempt to get back to the constitu-
tional government which had been restored for a lit
tie while under Madero.
And yet Carranza deliberately repudiates consti-
tutionalism. He refuses to make any terms of peace
that look to the placing in the presidency of Senior
Tagle, the only eligible member of the Madero cabi-
net, and hence the logical successor of the Madero
constitutionalst government. Thus he knocks in the
head the most promising effort to bridge over the in
terregnun and set up a new, orderly government by
a legal and natural process. Worse still, he expels
the diplomatic representatives of nations that are
trying to save his country.
Just let him alone, Carranza argues. Wait till he
ticks the other leaders and subdues the whole country.
Then let him alone till, by the fiat of a dictator, he es-
tablishes such reforms as he thinks the country needs.
After that he will be willing to restore the constitu-
ton.
It's a strange attitude for a "constitutionalist"
and a pretended patriot. Carranza could. make the
restoration of peace an easy matter. And yet Mexi-
cos %neighbors apparently will have to undertake that
restoration in spite of him, possibly even against his
armed opposition.

W.. c. Raston, a member of the governing committee
of the San Francisco stock exchange. is visiting the eastern
cities representing that exchange for the purpose of getting

metal mining particularly, to go to San Francisco and meet
at a convention which will be held under the auspices of the
Panama Pacific international Exposition on September Fl

stock brokers and mining men, through which medium au-

ilegitimate exploitation of mines.

Long Liue Galveston!

Galveston, newly emerged from one of the most terri
bic storms that ever threatened a city, is sending greet
ines 90 The outside world. AT a mass meeting of citizens
held on August IS, the day after the titanic visitation, the
following, signed by the mayor and heads OF various CIVIC
organizations, was sent broadcast over the country:
Galveston has successfully passed through a
West India hurricane that blew continuously for
eighteen hours. The government weather gauge reg
istered the maximum velocity of the wind as ninety
miles per hour. The city. due to the adamantine re-
sistance of the sea wall, has sustained comparatively
small loss in destruction of property and but SIX
deaths have been thus far reported.
The great granite structure, erected after the
calamity of 1000, grimly me- and conquered the rag
inc seas of the gulf and hurled them back defiantly
whence they came. Our citizenship is %buoyantly
cheerful because of the demonstrated impregnabihty
of their protective works in this, the supermost test
Of their effectiveness. In mass meeting today as
sembled Galveston's citizenship sends greetings to
the world and assures friends and admirers every
where of their sincere pledge to strive diligently
and heartily to attain that superior success which last
nights victory promised for the community.
The sentiment expressed above ~bespeaks a spirit that
knows no such word as fail. The brave citizens of Gal
weston have been sorely tried on more than one occasion
but have emerged triumphant from such periods of dis
tress, each time building a bigger and better Galveston
1t was this same spirit that caused the world to look with
wonder upon San Francisco after the fire of 1906. 1t is
the American spirit that knows no defeat.
Long live Galveston!
