Potash in tho Muds of Columbus
Maash, Nevada

In searching for domestic source
of potash in the United States, the
Geological Survey has explored more
or less thoroughly number OF des-
ert basins in the West. Among the
regions investigated is the mud fiat
known as Columbus Marsh, which
lies midway between Reno and Tono-
pah, New, aud has an area of about
35 square miles. Nine shallow wells
have been sunk in this E:arsh and
the borings and waters have been
examined for potash. Though COM
mercial quantities of potash were
not found and no saline BEDS were
encountered, the data obtained in
the exploration, like much of the
survey work, have IA scientific value.
A more extensive chemical study has
been made of the muds from one of
the wells by w. b. Hicks, and the
results are given in q recent Survey
publication-"Composition of muds
from Columbus Marsh, New. issued
Us Professional Paper 95-A. This
report shows that the muds contain
u high percentage OF potassium, only
small part OF which, however, is
soluble in water. The results of the
chemical study Indicate further that
large part of the potassium in the
! muds has been absorbed from solu-
ton and is held in loosely com
bined form. This condition may
account for the apparent disappear
ance of the potassium from the sa.
lines of the desert basin region, and
should have a bearing on future ex.
plorations for potash.
A copy of the publication, which
is technical in character may be
obtained free on application to the

Mono Lake Piacers are Bonded
to j. S. Cain

]. NJ. Miller and J. II. Wichman
were passengers last week to the
placer claims near Mono Lake. The
ground is still undet snow, which is
two feet deep at Conways, near
Mono Lake.
The ground has been bonded to
J.. S. Cain, on four-month arrange
ment A vigorous campaign is To
begin as soon as the snow 4ees OFT
and this summer will see active de-
velopment of that property. As
many readers will recall, the ground
includes the site of old Dogtown, one
of the oldest camps on this side of
the Sierras, and place that for
while had lively days. Average as
says over large area shows that the
dirt carries gold, and with systematic
working on due scale 1t should
add materially to Mono's production.
The outlook in our ReiGkbor
county seems considerably better
just now than it has for some time
through the acquisition of Mr.. Cain,
pioneer acquainted with possibil-
tiles, of valuable properties.

decide. 1t is probable that Olson Will
draw the heaviest censuTe, for he
battled the arbiter after he had been
parted from Good.
1t occurred in the seventh inning
with two out. Good cracked a
healthy swat down the base line that
was worth two bases. Wilbur at
tempted to reach third and was easily
out, apparently. But he made a des-
peTate slide, coming into Olson Vi
ciOusly, spikes first. The ball was
knocked from Ivan'S hands.
Olson made no attempt to recover
the pill, but swung his trusty right
among WiIbUr's features and the two
athletes scuffIed around on the
ground in an edifying spectacle.
QUigley and several players rumbled
to the scene and the umpire emerged
from the mess carrying the burly
Olson in his arms. The latter tried
to twist the Umpire's neck, but was
planted on the bench. Then both
players were canned and the game
ended when Fisher went out.
Olson claimed he battied Good be-
cause the latter made a deliberate at
tempt to spike him.
Umpire QuigIey was the only one
who came out with hOnOrs. He
showed commendable nerve in butt
ing in and carrying off Olson, who is
pounds heavier than the indicator
handler.
Suspensions are probable for both
athletes.

John J. Kepplers4 vice president of the international Machinists, has been the most active of the leaders who had been fomenting trouble or directing labor activities. John A. Johnson, international vice president of the Structural Iron Workers union, has also been busy. as has Thomas J.
 Savage of the executive committee of the Maehinists' union. Neither of these men live in Bridgeport. There are several machinists' unions in the city, but none of the men at the head of these has had anything to say since the trouble started.
 t'Furtherrnore, there is no syrnpa-- thy in Bridgeport with the strike. James G. LudIunp, president of the Manufacturers association. states plainly that the union leaders have failed, and the association has adopt ed resolutions endorsing the Rerning- ton company. Mayor Clifford B. Will son expresses no sympathy with the strike or strikers No city official, from the mayor to the chief of police and the ordinary patrolman, could be found who thought the men had any grievance that would justify them in striking. The men who have been earning $5 day have been living in comfort and with a reduction of their working time to eight hours they have been given an opportunity to earn considerably more. This offer, made voluntarily by the company, before a strike was ordered, and made to apply to all employees, not to, the machinists alone, secured all local sympathy for the company instead of the strikers-ii'

 A dance in the garage on the grounds, to the music of a grafono1a, social pastimes= on the spacious lawns and a. delicious cold supper served at the mystic hour of 12, helped make the visit of the Misses McKeon a pheasant one. The Black Rock quar- tets too. did what they could, in their own way.
 Cut flowers and Japanese lanterns adorned the garage with ferns taste fully draped here and there. Japan ese lanterns also lighted the lawn.

Socialistic Scheme Adopted in Placing
 of Big War Orders

Berlin, July 2s.-While England appears just now to be showing a strongiy socia1istic tendency in the or gaxz1zatteH ef industries for mill fary purposes, Germany has been act ing in the same spirit since the war began but in a different way It regularly gives the praference, in placing army contracts to artisan vvorkmen and their or ga ntzat1on-
 One of these zzdzm4ions recently received an order for 1000 provision wagons, costing $4.0o0, ,ooOs and when part of the eonTact they were told to apply to this organiza ton.
 The preference given to artisan or ganizatfons is so marked that the HandeIstags or association of cham bers of eommerce, has several times
 made representations to the Pr11s- sian ministers of war and the interior, given to the manufactur5ng establish ulentss The Hendelstag argues that the manufacfurers also have fixed bodies. of trained worknaen who are in special need of earning a iYeIi- hood gduring the war.
 On the other hand. not a few minor nzanufacturers, who actually get army ferent character They complain that they are not permitted to compete directly for orders In such amounts as they can handle, but that contracts are given out in large quantities, sometimes to organizations, and still more often to big contractors who are not manufacturers at all. The first thing these latter do is to sub 16t their co=tra<ts aEi1Ei91 many small manufacturers at very onerous terms Thus it is the mfddle-nan that reaps the largest part of the profits
