The first settlement on the present
site of San Francisco dates from 1776.
1t consisted of Spanish military
post-presidio and the Franciscan
mission of San Francisco de Asis.
In 1886 the settlement of Yerba Bu-
ena was established in little cove
southeast of Telegraph Hill. The
name San Francisco was, however.
applied to all three settlements.
The United States flag was raised
over the town in 1876. and the popu-
lation rapidly increased reaching per-
haps 900 in May l84S. The news of
the gold discoveries was followed by
crowds of fortune seekers. so that by
the end of l848 the city had an esti-
mated population of 10000.
From that time on San Francisco
has grown rapidly. The first regu-
lar overland mail communication
with the East was establised by pony
express in 1860, the charge for post
age being S. for half an ounce. In
1869 the completion of the Central
Pacific railway to Oakland marked
the beginning of transcontinental
railway communication.-U. S. Geo

SAGEBRUSH ASHES
WORTH 500 A TON
Reported to Have a Commercial
Value From Their High Con-
tent of Potash

Nevada has long been considered
land of wonderful opportunities.
1t has long list of infant industries
which, in time, are bound to develop
into full grown ones. The latest to
demand attention is commercializing
ashes from sagebrush. Heretofore
farmers who have cleared off the
desert acres have labored under the
assumption that the ashes were
worthless and that the burning of
the sagebrush from the land has
made up legitimate bill of expense
in preparing the soil for the planting
of grains, says the Phoebe Record.
Now it is claimed that the sage
brush ashes contain potash in COM
mercial quantity and that they are
really worth money. This fact has
recently come to light and only
few days ago nj. l.. Lee, cashier of
the Bank of Phoebe, received letter
from a chemical manufacturing COM
pany operating at Richmond. Va.
offering him 500 ton f. o. b.
Pioche for all the sagebrush ashes
sent during the next year. The pro-
duct is to be placed in sacks for ship
ment.
1t appears that experiments made
recently at the University of Nevada
developed the fact that the ashes
from southern Nevada sagebrush
contain sufficient amount of potash
to make it worth while. These ex-
periments were conducted by Profes-
sor Romance Adams and it was
through him that the Virginia
chemical company was placed in
touch with Mr.. Lee and bona fide
offer of 500 ton made for the pro-
duct. 1t is claimed that samples of
the ashes sent to the laboratory of
the chemical company contained a
base of 81 per cent of soluble pot
ash and it is here that the prospect
of launching a new industry in this
State becomes interesting.
From parties who have read up on
the subject it has been learned that
the extraction of potash from desert
growths is not new; that it is now be-
ing practiced in Australia with con-
siderable degree of success. Author
tiles on the subject assert that the
burning of sagebrush will produce
an ash product of from s to 10 per
cent; hence, based on the lower fig
ure, one ton of crude sagebrush
would burn to l60 pounds of ash. and
this product being worth 5 cents per
pound would give return of So, out
of which would have to come the ex-
pense of cutting and burning the
brush. sacking the product and de-
livery to the railroad station.
1t is surprising, to say the least, to
learn that plain sagebrush, which
travellers over the desert have been
accustomed to using for fire wood, is
actually valued at So per ton and the
ashes therefrom 500 per ton. and a
40-ton carload $4,000.
1t would appear from the forego-
ing figures that good money can be
made in this brush burning enter
prise, if the undertaking were done
Systematically. 1t would be especial
ly profitable to persons who might
have large area of sagebrugh land
to clear for themselves. for it is safe
to say that the cost of improvement
could be more than met in COM
mercializing the ashes retained after
burning the brush.

whom they recognized as an Indian.
They addressed him in the Sioux
language and he made no reply. They
had recourse to the universal language

Uncommunicative, these Indians
said nothing to the authorities about

had passed when one OF them en-
countered a party Of tho Blackfoot

there was a member of that band In
