COMMERCIAL POTASH.
The salt-incrustcd vallcv floor commonly known as Searlcs Lake, in south-eastern California, has lately come into prominence through the widespread interest in the ’search for an available source of potash in the United States, and the apparently promising prospects this locality affords of a considerable commercial production in the near future. The estimate made three years ago that (his deposit contains 4,000,000 tons of water-soluble potash seems to have boon amply confirmed by subsequent developments. That this amount of potash salts will actually ho produced and placed on tho market cannot vet bo considered assured, but so far as cam bo judged from evidence available it seems that this deposit is the most promising immediate source of commercial potash in the United States.
