THE MOUSING OUEUOMAN. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 10. 1311. 7 iinnumm in uivigmgsaas - -at nunn una in iiiia PHOSPHATE ROCK PLENTIFUL IN WEST Fertilizer Enough to Last for Generations Found tn Four States. IDAHO FIELD IMPORTANT Discoveries Also Made In Montana F-prclallT Significant Bccaie of Proximity to Supply of Add for Treatment. OREO"VIAN NEWS BUREAU. Tvaah Ir.aton. Nor. t. More than . 008. 000.000 ton of phosphate rock hare been lo cated and withdrawn by the United Sates Ceoloa-lcal Surrey In Southern Idaho and Montana, and Northern Utah and Wyomlna enough phosphate to supply the American fertiliser market for a-eneratlona to come. This rock, much of which has lain exposed on cat. tie ranges since the adrent of the white man. was never recognised until two or three years aeo. when a Government (nolnrbt chanced to atop and examine a boulder pn which he wee sitting. lnce that time, phosphate rock to the extent of S.ooo.ono.ooo tons has been located, with Indications that as much more ul timately will be found In the surround ing country. The discoveries and prospects thus far made hare led the Geological Sur rey to the conclusion that In the four states named probably lies tho greatest phosphate deposit In the United States deposits greater and more valuable than those of South Carolina. Florida, and Tennessee, which hara heretofore been supplying the American market of the states where It was made. Idabe Field rmteaalr. In the Idaho field estimates hare been made of high-grade phosphate rock In nine townships, based on examination of the outcrops and In no township was there found to be less than approxi mately 40.000.000 tons of high-grade phosphate rock, containing for the most part from SO to SS per cent phosphoric arid, phosphate rock containing SO to f S per cent phosphoric acid Is generally considered hlh grade. One of tha townships examined contains an esti mated S9S.0O0.00O tons of phosphate rock, the net result of tha Surrey's work showing an approximate tonnage of l.jno.000.000 long tona with TO per cent phospborto acid. The first dlscorery of these beds was In Wyoming, but last year an outcrop was found in Montana. 0 miles further north, and the geologtets believe that workable deposits exist tn snany ad joining places. The withdrawals ag gregate 14.000 acres In that state. Near Melrose. Silver Bow County, tha beds are six to eight feet thick and contain 7 per cent phosphorlo arid. A six foot bed contains about 21.000 tons to the acre. Pre-xlsatrr 9 Belters Issa-ae-taat. "One of tho most Important consid eration In connection with tha dla covery of phosphate rock In Western Montana." says Hoyt 8. Oale. one of the geologists. "Is Its significance as to the probable extent of the Westsrn phosp'ate fields, for It now appears prohaMe that similar deposits may ex tnd over a large part of Western Mon tana. Their nearness to the largo cop per smelters Is Important, for these smelters produce great quantltlee of sulphur! add and sulphurous acid fumea which are usually allowed to go ti waste through the smokestack of the plant. Reduction of phosphate rock by means of sulphuric acid appears to offer what la perhaps the largest com mercial uee for these waste products of the smelters.- Mr. dale quotes a report showing the? dally loss at tha Anaconda smelter alone of about 100 trs of sulphuric acid. Mr. tlale suggests that a great savins- In freight might be mails by con centrating three tona of the rock Into one. IHlot Plai-kwelder found large depoe Ita of low-grade phosphate rock In tho Cnake Itlver Canyon In Wyoming, one of these being 4l feel thick. passed from the hands of the grower, according to estimates made by local grain buyers. A little more than half of tha season's output has been shipped to tidewater, according to these men and at tha present rata of shipment tha warehouses of tha county will be practically empty by December 1. Al though l be car ahortage haa been acute In some parts of Eastern Oregon for the last several weeks, the railroad companies have pressed stock and" flat cara Into service with tha result that the Umatilla County wheat haa been moved almost as fast as it baa been sold. No sales of Importance have been recorded within the last few days, but It Is expected that buying on a large cala will be resumed soon. Some of the Pendleton handlers of J grain express the opinion that the Port ! land and Puget Sound dealers are mak ing a mistake In their calculations. They say the tidewater dealers are apparently acting on the assumption that the supply of wheat In tho Inland Empire la yet large, whereas It la al most exhausted. They declare tho per centage of the crop already shipped at this time Is far greater than for many seasons. MISS FELT TO BE BRIDE Wedding December 3 lntereta So ciet; In Two Cities. LOS ANGELES.
