Largest Deposit of Rock Salt.

Vast quantities of rock salt lie less than half
mile beneath the surface of the earth in the United
States. In New York. Ohio, Michigan Pennsylvania.
West Virginia and other states there are large de-
posts, but the largest deposit in the United States,
and probably in the world that which extends from
northern Kansas across thew end Of Oklahoma,
the panhandle Of Texas and southeastern New Mexico
to western Texas. The underlan by these great
Perman salt deposits is not far from 100000 square
miles, according to the u s. geological survey The
limit of the deposit especially to the northwest and
southeast have not been ascertaincd but in general
the area of thick salt extends fully 65o miles from
northeast to southwest, and is so to $50 miles wide
The thickness and the succession OF the beds are
variable but 700 feet is reported in one hole and IN
many places the aggregate Is more than 900 feet on
the assumption of thickness OF 400 feet OF
salt the gross quantity in the OF 100000 square
miles is so large. about 10000 billion tons, that the
present needs of the United States (about 100000
tons ycar) can be supplied for millions OF years.

Treasury Notes.

The treasury department last week announced
combined offering Of hreeyc sN per cent treasury
notes. dated June IS due June IS 1924 and one
year 81 per treasury certificates OF indebtedness.
dated June IS 1921, due June Is 1922 The combined
offering for $5ooooo,ooo. thereabouts The
treasury notes offered will be straight treasury certih-
Gates OF indebtedness to the OF about $780,
100000 to mature June IS, 1921, and on the same
date there will become payable the semiannua interest
on the FIRST Liberty loan and the Victory liberty loan.
amounting in the aggregate to about $I3o,ooo,ooo.
On July IS. 1921 there will mature about $I32oooooo'
and on August I6 1921, about $IS6,oooooo OF add-
tiona treasury certificates. Against these heavy ma
Turtles of principal and interest the treasury expects
to receive during June about $s7sIoooooo account
of the quarterly payment OF income and profits taxes.
To provide for its further requirements, including
current disbursements and increased payments incident
the close of the fiscal year, the treasury will need
in the ueghborhood of $5oooooooo, and has therefore
decided make the combined offering OF notes and
certificates above described
In consequence of the issue of treasury and
treasury certificates June s and the retirement OF
maturing treasury certificates, the treasury expects to
show important progress in the execution of its plan
to make the Short-dated debt more manageable and
gradually distribute it the period from 1923 to
1928. The Victory Liberty loan which
May 20. 1923. amounted when originally issued to
$4,4oS'374,3oo. Through the operation oil the bond
purchase fund and the cumulative sinking fund, and
the miscellaneous retirements of the public debt the
amount of Victory notes outstanding May 81.
1921, had been reduced to $+o22II6S5S. according
the preliminary statement of the public debt for that
date This total reduction date in the
amount of the Victory loan of about $5ooooo AS
similar retremcns of Victory notes affected from
time to time pursuant to the treasurys program there
should be important further reductions in the Victory
loan maturity. The result Of this and succeeding
issues of shorterm notes. and of the debt retrements
which the treasury expects to make from time time
out Of its surplus, should be to spread the
%,5oooooooo OF short-dated debt, which is now con-
centrated in relatively few maturtes into a progress
svely smaller aggregate of better diversified
maturities extending the period from 1923 to
1928
