All this equipment, largely In excess

price considerably higher than the very
highest price then prevailing, the ex-
PLANTATION given being that 1t was paid

to the purchases above mentioned, as

that nature not touched upon, there was

100000 pounds of black harness leather.
The general market had been swept
almost clean of leather. The farmers
could not buy harness and the American
people were paying prohibitive prices for
footwear. To cap the climax, according
to criticism voiced in Congress- the Adj

it's own people by such reckless buying.

IDAHO PHOSPHATE
Anaconda Secures Large Holdings
Near Soda Springs.

Near Soda Springs.
A correspondent Of Sl1illings Min
ing review. writing from Butte, says
the Anaconda company is reported to
have acquired by purchase % or "a
quarter sections Of phosphate bearing
land near Soda Springs. Idaho, and a
seven mile spur Of railroad will be
constructed to connect the deposit with
the Union Pacific system The tract
taken over embraces more than $500
acres and consists of some of the fin
est phosphate territory in Idaho, and
a probable tonnage estimate is placed
at 2OO.0OO,000 with the rock carrying
80 per cent of phosphoric acid or bet
ter.
The Anaconda company has under
consideration the construction Of a
rushing plant at the deposits, the pro-
duct to be shipped to the fertilizer
plant now under construction at the
old Bradley works at the Washoe
smelter in Anaconda It is expected to
have the fertilizer plant in operation
within three months, with an initia.
capacity for the treatment daily Of
so tons of phosphate rock, from which
will be had 80 tons Of fertilizer, known
as a "double-acid" product, in conse-
quence of the extra high phosphoric
acid content it possesses. This added
acid increases the solubility Of the
fertilizer in the soil it is desired to
enrich, and this gives this fertilizer
higher market rating than the ordinary
fertilizers of commerce.
one ton Of sulphuric acid is required
in the treatment of one ton Of phos-
plate rock, and the engineers of the
company are known to have very am
bilious plans in connection with the
