make a choice as both claim the laurels.

Ex Mayor Thos. Morgan has so
va'uable d poaita of oxide of iron and
nitrate of potash on his place near the
Heppner warehouse. The deposits are
near the city limits which adds to their
value.
l'he deposits heretofore were sup
posed to be a ijiiartz ledge, but after a
careful examination by Mining Expert
J nomas I.. Brophy, Lis report skows
tint the deposits are as above stated.
In an interview, Mr. J'.rophy said:
"The first place examined, I found an
immense deposit of oxide f iron. This
is very suitable for paint as it wears
well aud is a great protection to a build
ing. It also has great pow.;r of resist
ance to fire. Judging from the contour
of the mountain and the pitch and
strike, I believe there is an immense
amount of this subBtance on Mr. Mor
an's property.
This carries small value in gold and
will probably carry mure at greater
depth which would he found near the
bedrock."
"The next deposit I examined" said
Mr. lirophy, "proved to be po'assiuai
stone, which is very rich. It is of a
dark blue color, aud is also very ex
tensive. After the rain saturates the
potassium stone, the heat of the sua
calls the potassium to the surface.
This is not harmful to horses or
cattle, but proves death to sheep," con
unueu Mr. isropur. '.Many large
lands of sheep throughout Fastern
Oregon have been poisoned from lick
ing potassium off the stones. Sheep
are very fond of it. AfUr finding these
conditions, I ssked Mr. Morgan if any
sheep had ever been turned in this
asture. He told me that a band of
heep was turned in this field and all
died but one and the one that was left
never agaiu had any wool."
The next poiut examined," said Mr.
lirophy "was a large bank where po
tassium composed half the amount of
soil. Mr. Morgan wanted me to exam
ine this point, as his stock would come
there and lick and eat this sutistance.
I his part of the field is very rich and
can be recovered hv leaching."
Mr, lirophy says that Kastern Ore
m is very rich in this product which is
warning to sheepmen.
"It is usually taken for alkali," Mr.
liroiihv continued.
I think the time is not tar distant
hen the potassium deposits will prove
great source of weaith to this
juntrv.
Nitrate of potassium is the substance
from which nitric acid is distilled. It
enters into the manfacture of black
powder, and a'so is used ss medicine
known as salt petre.
