TOLD STORY OF POTASH

Walter A. Witt, of Detroit. secre-
tary-treasurer of the Inyo Chemical
Co., whose properties and works are
in California, and in which several
Clio people are interested, gave a
verv fine lecture to the local stock
holders of the company at Odd Eel
lows Hall, last week Thursday even
ing. Mr.. Witt came here, not for
the purpose of selling stock, but
merely to acquaint those who have
invested money in the enterprise
with the nature of their investment.
He has visited the project repeatedly,
consequently knows all that is to be
known about it, and illustrated his
lecture with fine lot of stereoptcon
views. To give the matter a little
more local flavor than would other
it the project in which our fellow
and it is for this company that he
is now at work in Inyo County, Cali
fornia. the famous Death Valley
region. The Inyo Chemical Com
pany's project covers the bed of an
immense dry lake or sink, known as
Deep Springs Lake. In the cons of
years that have passed since the
earth took form, perhaps in the glac-
ial period, the waters passing through
the mountains washed out their
chemical properties and deposited
them in this lake, thousands of acres
in extent. These deposits have been
"boiled down." so to speak, by evap-
oration until now a glistening white
surface of chemical salts represents
what was once the face of the waters.
Beneath a few inches of this salt
lies many feet of mud or gumbo
which is rich in potash brine. the
richest brine of the kind, it is said.
that has ever been discovered on the
face of the earth. 1t is also rich
in other valuable chemical properties
which can be recovered on a COM
mercial scale. Mr.. Witt, who says
that he has invested nearly all of
his personal fortune in the enter
prise, is very enthusiastic about its
future and inasmuch as his opinion
is based on the most thorough expert
exploration and on the judgment of
the best posted C h m s S
in the country we feel sure there is
much reason for his opinion. He
pointed out that during the war
the Germans based their belief that
they would be victorious on the fact
that they controlled the worlds sup
ply of potash, which is the basis of
high explosives, as we'll as invaluable
in agriculture. He also called at
tention to the fact that during the
war the Duponts were cutting kelp
from the ocean, and burning it in
order to recover the one per cent of
potash that it contained. The brine
pumped from the wells on the Inyo
project averages more than 20 per-
cent potash. Besides this, in dig
ging one of the wells on the surface
of the lake (sounds funny doesn't
it?) Louie Lather and the men under
his charge, not long ago, discovered
chemical deposit in solid or rock
form, $50 acres in extent. which ex-
perts estimate is worth $500 per
ton on the cars, in a natural state.
Mr.. Witt did not offer any stock for
sale and said that the company had
plenty of finances at it's command
1t appeared to US to be very meri-
torius project and we certainly hope
and believe that all of our towns
people who have invested in it will be
big winners.

Hot Summer Makes Lake
Superior Warm for BATHING
(By Associated Pressl

DULUTH, Mimi, July 22-For the
first time in several years the waters
OF Lake Superior in the vicinity of the
Head of the Lakes have been sufficient
ly warm this summer to permit bathing
to a marked extent
known generally as the coolest in
land lake." Lake Superior this year
affords favorable bathing rendezvous,
according to reports from cities and
towns along both north and south
shores.
The reason for the extreme change
in temperature of the lakes waters
is attributed by weather bureau chiefs
at the Head of the Lakes to the un-
usually mild winter Of 1920-21 and the
ensuing excessive heat.
They explained that ordinarily ice
foes are floating about in the lake
until late spring and sometimes far
into the summer. This year ice in the
bay broke much earlier than usual and
accordingly ice foes passed out of
the lake several weeks before the
usual time for this movement. Too,
the heat has prevailed during exceed
lngly long periods and apparently has
thoroughly warmed at least the sur
face waters of the lake.

SLIPS ON ICE; SUES
LUKEN FOR DAMAGES

Damages for personal injuries to
the amount of $500 is asked by Laur-
cite Haner in an action filed in Wayne
circuit court against John H. Luken,
Thursday. The complaint states that
the plaintiff suffered the fracture of
an arm and numerous other injuries
on the night of Dec. %. 1920, when she
slipped on ice in front of the Luken
property on South Seventh street.
The plaintiff states that the condi-
ton of the sidewalk. being covered
with ice, was due entirely to the neg
ligence of Mr.. Luken, who allowed a
water spout to cast water over the
walk.
