81 per cent to 90 per cent pure and
worth in money $63.00 The greatest
thing in the world as a fertilizer and
the thing that Germany used as 4
wedge to establish a world trade.
And the other $40 pounds we obtain
from the ton of rock is AL2O3 or
alumina oxide, worth S148OO. The
rest OF the ton of ore is water and is
lost"
/ didn't hear about the water
clearly. ! was subtracting $3.50
from the sum of $14800 and $500
and the result was $lo460.
That's $lo46O," said, and my
reward was another Of Doctor
Payne's hearty laughs.
There's the reason YOU couldnh
understand it before" he said
You're right there's/big profits in
"There will be millions of tons Of
potash used in this country in the
coming years." he said. IA man
with valuable land cannot afford to
be without this simple form of max
ing that land bring out of itself it's
best work every year, You know
out of our enormously imports of
potash there are l,002,326 tons of
potash used for agricultural pur-
poses and 22,828 for industrial. And
out of every ton from Germany at
$45 price there was a 50 split that
went into the German war chest.
don't think the American public
will be particularly anxious to build
up the German war chest again IL
we can manage to supply the de-
mand in this country"
He was off for another flying start
but had a question to ask, and in
terrupted.
Listen doctor, I said, what
chance to get in on this deal?"
That's one of the things my son
and / are here to do" he replied
frankly. "It's this way.
II can sell out my interests at
Maryville, Utah, at any time. I was
offered check for many times what
they cost me the other day in San
Francisco, but to sell any there,
must sell all. Both my son and my
self have lived aluminium and potash
In the alunite territory for the last
three years and we have decided that
with capital we can make some of
those profits. A share in q good
going concern Is better to our minds
than the whole Of poor one.
1--WE are going to sell half mill
lion dollars worth of stock to es-
tablish a modern, up-to-date plant
for heating the ore and separating
it so that we obtain the best price
for it. Crushed and heated rock
brings one price, refined potash
and alumina oxide much
better one q ur potash and oxide
of alumina arr as chemically pure
as it is possible to make them, and
the process is very simple. Il takes
a plant to do this and we must sell
enough of our interest 20 obtain the
plant.
"Potash has had lots OF advertis-
ing in the last few years. Most peo-
pie know its value for fertilizing pur-
poses, but very few realize the enof-
nous commercial value of the new
industry. The aiunite process Is
not new. There are two COM
panies bounding ours, The Min
erai Products. corporation on the
east, and west of US is the Florence
Mining company, whose new mill
Just completed has a capacity Of
100 tons a day and is running 20
per cent complete. On the south
are the Crystal properties, just be-
ing developed.
1--WE will be operating as soon
as we possibly can and expect TO
have one of the finest plants in the
country. Our company, organized
under the name Of the Aluminium
Potash Company Of Utah, owns this
property absolutely and is In shape
to start production at once upon
the completion of our plant"
