IDAHO SALT DEPOSITS
MAY PROVE PROFITABLE
WORKER IN CRUDE FASHION TO
SUPPLY mlNING CAMPS IN
EARLY DAYS.

rock salt deposit said to have a
total thickness of IT'S feet and "a lit
tie more than 500 feet below the sur
face has been located in southeastern
Idaho in the eastern part of Caribou
county according to report received
by Virgil r. d. Kirkham, geologist
with the state bureau of mines and
geology and a member OF the Univer-
sity of Idaho school of mines faculty
The discovery was made by an oper-
ator drilling a well to test the oil
structures in the area which are said
to be promising Mr.. Kirkham re-
Gently studied The geology of the area
with special attention to it's oil pro-
ducing possibilities.
Samples of the newly discovered
deposit have been analysed and show
exceptional purity. Some of the beds
are more than 20 feet thick and with
the area in which brine springs are
found exceeding 40 square miles and
the results of analyses. which indicate
that the salt will average from So to
S11 per ton, Idaho may soon have a
new industry. The probability of
railroad connections in the near flu
ture and the possibilities of locating
oil, for two wells are now exploring
the structures augur we'll for the de-
velopment of an important salt rehn-
ing industry.
Since the earliest days of the west
ern emigrants the existence of salt in
that area has been known" said Pro
fessor KirlSham in commenting upon
the discovery. THE Lander trail
cutoff which joined the old Oregon
trail at Blackfoot was built through
that part of what is now Caribou
county because of the salt springs ex-
sting there. Since those early days
Of the covered wagon pioneer these
springs have had commercial value
out until now no information as to
he extent of the deposits has been
AVAILABLE. The salt springs had
greater value in the old days than in
'ecent years, since they furnished all
he salt for the mining camps of Ida
10 and Montana. There were no rail-
'oads then and the salt was boiled
rom the brine and hauled by OK
cams. The present wagon road from
Montpelier in Bear Lake valley to
star valley, the location of the
springs, was built to supply the out
side demand for this salt The pro-
iuction of salt from these springs
reached a high point or 200 tons per
month in the COS and sold for S25 per
on on the ground, but the rise of the
salt industry at Great salt lake proved
90 great completion for the Idaho
Springs deposits.
THESE deposits may be mined by
irilling wells, forcing water to the
salt beds and pumping it back to the
surface to be evaporated, or sinking
1 shaft and mining the salt like coal"

Highest Court Will Not Review Fam
Gus Apex Case.
The United States supreme court
has denied the petition for a writ Of
certiorari sought by the Utah Consol-
idated Mining company against the
Utah-Apex Mining company to appeal
a decision of the district court, sus-
tanned by the Third circuit court OF
appeals, regarding title to ore bodies
in the West Mountain or Bingham
mining district of Utah. The Utah
Consolidated company, which owns
the Highland Boy mine. claimed title
by virtue of apex rights to copper and
lead ore found within flat limestone
beds which outcropped in its prop
erty The ore bodies in question UNI
derlay the claim of the Utah-Apex
company. The latter company
brought the suit to quiet the title and
won in the lower courts, on the
ground that the limestone bed was not
a lode in the meaning of the statute;
but that the ore was contained in
nearly vertical veins that outcropped
in the Apex ground The effect of the
supreme courts decision is TO permit
the Judgment of the lower courts to
stand without review and therefore
finally settles the case Several mill
lion dollars worth of ore was involved
and the case was bitterly fought

which is supposed from tradition to
have been the mine from which the
Aztecs drew their wealth. The ira

started to cross the great desert

when they got TO the edge of the
desert the arrangement was made
that Russell would drive around,
which would take about six hours,

the Boston financier. When the
poet had finished, Mr.. Lawson arose
and said: 1T is great thing to be
able to make money, but it is a
greater thing to be able to write q
poem like that. And next to have
written it the greatest thing is to hear
it from the lips of the man who did
write it,

Lord. I've had enough an double,
Reasons for complaint.
