'SACEDRUSH MAY
HAVE REAL VALUE
Claimed That the Weed
Contains Large Percent
age of Potash.

Idahos sagebrush plains, the brush
on which has heretofore been consid-
cred worthless except for fuel, may
have q value unbelievable, for it has
been discovered the brush contains sol
able potash which may place the weed
on commercial basis. Experiments
are being conducted across the bound
AIRY line in Nevada and Utah which
may put an entirely different appear
ance on the humble sagebrush.
Ashes OF sagebrush, according to
chemical investigation, contain potash
soluble in water. The quantity varies
in different localities, but around
southern Utah and Nevada, there is
an average Of 80 per cent. Further
more, the so-ealled rabbit brush" con-
tains even a higher percentage of pot
ash than the sagebrush.
AdVertises for Ashes.
Senator M. l.. Lee Of Phoebe, New
has advertised in the vicinity Of Phoebe
that he will buy, during the next three
months, ashes of sagebrush in carload
lots. The ashes will probably contain
from l5 to 80 per cent of soluble pot
ash The Phoebe banker has contract
ed to ship the ashes TO the Virginia
| Carolina Chemical company Of Rich
kmond. va. where they will be purified
so as to make pure potash. Arrange
ments have been made for a chemist in
\ Phoebe TO analyze the ashes purchased,
and payment will be made according 70
the following schedule:
Ash containing 81 per cent water
soluble potash or more, $95 per ton;
Fash containing Is per cent or more, $50
per tom ash containing 90 70 % pei
cent, S62.50 per tom ash containing Is
10 20 per cent, $45 per ton.
Senator Lee has issued the following
Instructions concerning the preparation
OF the sagcbrush ashes for shipment:
II appears that the leaves ana small
er branches contain more potash than
! tho trunk, therefore care should be
taken to preserve, 50 far as possible,
tho leaves and small branches.
The brush must be we'll burned. II
the ashes are taken from the fire too
soon they contain much carbon or
small particles OF charcoal which con-
Rain potash not soluble.
Must Exercise Care.
If the ashes or Goals are permitted
to remain in the fire or near the in
tense heat generated by sagebrush un-
til they cool gradually, the Goals and
carbon will all go to ashes. However,
in burning on a large scale it may be
found advisable to screen the ashes and
reburn the charcoal. The best results
win be obtained by burning in the
open, without much draft. Draft has
d tendency to carry away the lighter
particles containing potash. Remember
that the potash Is water soluble, and
burning on the damp ground will lose
much Of the potash. My best inforna-
.tion is that 20 tons viii constitute d
carload.
Analysis Of the ash should be made
at the beginning Of the burning, in
order to determine the average per
cent OF potash you may expect. and an
other consisting of a sample from each
sack when the ash is ready for ship
ment certificate of the general av-
erage vii then be attached.
