Potash Found In Idaho.

A correspondent Of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, writing from BOISE,
Idaho, gives interesting details OF the
discovery Of potash near Howedale,
Iowa, recently. The story is that d.
]. Sullivan. mining man, who had
been located at Seattle, Washington
for some time, went down into Iowa
to sell land, and stopped for while at
the home Of a ranchman. AS he start
ed out to guide a party Of prospective
buyers over the property of the ranch
man, a cattle boy warned him not to
20 to a certain water hole, stating
that animals that had gone there for
water had died, evidently Of poison.
Instead Of being deferred on account of
what the boy said, Mr.. Sullivan went
straight to the water hole, and was
not slow in recognizing a whitish sub
stance he discovered there as potash
He took away some specimens for an
alysis and his impressions were cor
firmed. He tried to keep his discov-
cry secret; but the information got
out, and there has been a rush of
prospectors to get in on the ground
floor The correspondent says that
the deposits are traceable for dis
tance of $50 miles or more, and that
the Federal government Is taking
very deep interest in the fact. Such
Is the story; but 1t may be exaggerat-
ed. II true, however, the matter is
very important, because up to this
time the only natural deposits OF pot
ash that are worth while are to be
found in Germany, and the mineral
which Is very necessary as ferti-
lizer for certain soils, Is no longer OBJ
tainable at the source heretofore de-
pended upon. It will be remembered
that a few years ago, when the Ger
man government sought to establish
monopoly on the potash yields OF
the empire, the agricultural depart
ment at Washington, spent much
money in an extensive search OF the
entire country in an effort to locate
workable deposits; and about the only
appreciable outcome Of the effort was
that potash could be had In CONNER
cial quantities from the burning OF a
certain kind of sea weed that was to be
found on the Pacific coast. Nothing
has ever come Of the suggestion. and
it is quite possible that this story OF
the final unlimited quantities Of pot
ash in Iowa Is along the same line.

would assay 90 per cent carp. Since
then then sea has diminished through
evaporation under the rays Of the sun,
and the carp have multiplied and in

Angeles. CAL, dispatch.
Now an infinitesimal percentage,
say 20 or 80 tons a day, Of these nom
edible fish are to be taken out and
converted into fertilizer and oil.
A company has purchased the fish

two months. 1t will take out 20 to
80 tons Of carp day.
Salton sea carp weigh five to fifteen

year 100000. A female carp spawns
three times a year, laying 100000 to
