PROMISING DISCOVERY OF
POTASH IN DIXIE VALLEY
Black Muck OVERLAPPING Rock Salt
Bed Analyses 2.O2 Per Cent
In Soluble Potash

Mr. Marie Woodson of F'allon, an
experienced agricultural chemist, In
a recent trip through the Dixie Val
ley made the discovery of potash
salts In the big salt marsh.
Mr.. Woodson secured samples OF
the black muck that lies above the
rock salt and had them analyzed by
Smith, Emery & Co, with the fol
lowing result; 2O2 per cent sol
uble potash at a depth of four feet
According to bulletins issued by
the u. s. Geological Survey this is a
wonderful surface showing and
would indicate the presence of pot
ash below the rock salt in great
quantities and of higher percentage
Several Ial,on men have located
claims and six Fallon men have un.
dertaken TO finance and develop the
claim located by A. l.. Robinson
Their names are as follows: Fred
!. Sander, Marie Woodson. E. N
Richardson. Thos. j. Wilson, A. L
Robinson and Geo. A. Foster.
These men have formed a part.
nership for the purpose of sinking
shaft through the rock salt oil
Mr.. Robinson's claim and otherwise
developing same in accordance with
the requirements of the government
They expect to invite few oil
their friends to join them in this
enterprise According to the L. S
Geological Survey, although the out.
put of potash for 1916 was ten times
greater than in 1915, II was still less
than five per cent of the normal
potash consumption.
In 1913 the only potash known to
have been produced within this
country was made from wood ashes
Practically all of the potash used in
the United States up to the out
break of the war was imported from
Germany. The war cut off this
source of supply and the price OF
potash scared from a normal price
of dfty or seventy cents to $500 OF
$500 per unit.
Mr.. Woodson and the men associ
ated with him are quite enthusiastic
over the find and think that 1t will
outrival the great Searles Lake oil
the alkali lakes of western Nebraska
as the entire Dixie Valley find is un.
derlaid by rock salts formation and
it is the opinion of the U. s. Geologi.
cal survey that the real hope of find
ing enough potash to supply this
country in its great need is the find
Ing of a great deposit of this much
needed mineral in connection witt
rock salt deposits. The formation
of the Dixie Valley field is almost
identical with that of Searles Lake
II successful this enterprise will
be a valuable addition to the min
ing activities of Fallon.
