Potash In Western Utah.

Potash In surprisingly large propor- tions Is present fin the primes and muds of the Salduro marsh. a sink in the Salt Lake desert. about sixty miles west of the southwest edge of Great Salt lake. From the clays underlying the salt body which covers the marsh the United States geological survey col, lected samples at depths of eight to twelve feet, in which the dissolved salts were found to contain from 2 to about 81a per cent of potash, and 2h per cent was found In the soluble salts at a depth of about four feet Of the dissolved salts contained in the primes occupying the spaces between the salt crystals fin the crust Overlying these muds 8 to 4 per cent was found to be potash. While no extensive explora- tory work has been done by the survey to show the area Of the deposit, 1t Is believed that the amount of potash present in the region, if It can be ex' tracted with commercial success, is sui
 icient to provide a valuable source of supply to the country.
