POTASH PRODUCTION OF U.S..
MAKING SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE

The output of all potash mater
ials produced and marketed in the
United States in 1917, as reported
by the manufacturers to the Uni
ted States Geological Survey Del
pGrtment of the Interior, was 1861
577 short tons, which contained
32.366 short tons, or an average
of 26.4 per CEN of pure potash.
This is more than three times the
quantity produced in 1916 and cor
responds very closely with the out
put predicted for 1917 by II. s.
Gale, of the survey, from a review
Of the mid-year statistics.
The approximate average selling
price of these potash materials at
the points of shipment was S4.26
q unit-that is, SAG a ton for
every 1 per cent OF pure potash in
the material marketed. This price
corresponds to $426 a ton of pure
potash. The total value of the
potash produced in the United
states in 1917 was $13, 791,922
The output of n of the four
plants producing potash from brines
in western Nebraska considerably
exceeded that from any other m
source or district. and the combined
output of these plants represents
about 10 per cen of the total for
the entire country. Searles Lake,
Cal, was the other source of large
production from brines.
The potash produced from kelp
represents about 10 per cen of the
total. a large part of this vas
high-grade potassium chloride pro
duced by two companies and the
rest was divided among eight other
producers, who manufactured kelp
char or ash carrying 16 to Sc per
cent potash, used as an ingredient
of fertilizer. An unexpected short
age of the kelp crop curtajled the
production from this source in
1917.
The production from alunite was
not so great as had been expected,
though two additional producers
from this source entered the field
during the year The plant of the
original producer was destroyed by
fire in October, and, though the
work of reconstructing it has been
pushed rapidly, it had not been put
into operation by the end of the
year. n addition to the high-grade
potassium sulphate produced from
alumte a considerable quantity of
calcined alunite carrying 16 per
cent OF available potash was mar
keted for Incorporation into fertili-
zcrs, and raw .alunite was shipped
to eastern reduction works to be
treated for the recovery of potash.
A fairly high-grade potash pro-
duced from the residue of charred
rlolasses at alcohol distilleries, rep
resenting nearly 9 per cent of the
total output, was, like kelp char,
used in fertilizer mixtures.
The quantity of potash recovered
from the waste liquors produced by
the Steffens process of beet-sugar
manufacture was somewhat aug
mented in 1917, and many expert
ments designed to increase the out
put from this source are being
made at b~eet-sugar factories

OPENING ORE IN
COPPER REGION
RAILROAD PROVES BENEFIT TO
MARKETING PRODUCT OF
MINES
(By J. F. O'Brien)

COPPERFIELD, New, May 10. -
George Hell, who has for some
months operated a lease On the old
State Line mine, about a mile north
of the Nixon-Nevada main workings,
made a small shipment of high-grade
saved in prosecuting the limited de-
velopment he was able to do while
working with practically no capital.
The returns have not yet been re-
ceived from the sampler, but it is
known to run well as some assays
have gone better than $500 per ton.
While punches and streaks of ex-
cellent ore were found in the shall
low workings, and the vein itself is
of good size and well defined, the
most of the values have beeL leached
near the surface and it will be neces-
sary to sink to or near the perma-
nent water level before there is a
reasonable assurance that the ore
will be found in large enough bodies
to be profitable.
There have been no developments
of unusual Importance during the
week at the NiXon-Nevada and
Washoe copper properties. The US
ual progress is being made on the
main cross-cut from the bottom of
the shaft and another fault has been
encountered in the last few days. 1t
is evident that there has been con
siderable disturbance in that por-
ton of the mountain now being pen
etrated by the cross-cut, and further
work is necessary to open up the
downward extension of the No. 4
vein which shows up so well in the
upper workings.
The news that comes from the
Plumas county, California, portion
of the copper belt shows steady de-
velopment and increasing output.
The Engels company is the star pro-
Queer and it's mines are getting bet
tr every day. In the early days of
the development of this property, be-
fore the geological conditions and
ore occurrences were as we'll un-
derstood as they r now, consider
able work had been done in follow
ing slip faults in the belief that ore
would make along them.
Cross-cut No. 2 from the No. 4
tunnel of the upper mine was run a
distance of rs feet when n OF
these slips was encountered. Thu
cross-cut was turned and followed
the slip for some distance, but no ore
to speak of was found. 1t was theI
decided to go back to where the
turn was made and continue straight
ahead.
But Is feet farther was driver
when ore was struck and develop
ment has since proved up an ore
body rs feet wide and 400 feet long
which averages over 5 per cent cop
per. Much of it goes 10 or II pei

lions of the mine to keep the grade

in treatment by the ~flotation pro
cess in the company's mills.
The ore in this particular body i:
all sulphide, but from the three up
per tunnels the company is shipping
a big tonnage of ~high-grade carbon
ate ores which cannot be treated BY
flotation. These ores were no
quite rich enough to stand the ex
pensive wagon haul necessary before
the Indian Valley railroad was built
but the company's' enterprise il
building this road enables it to shiI
them to the smelter now with good
profit.
