Cb.miaU return-Ire from the district where tha Alleged fataah flelda had bem dlecoYered found that the millions of tona of rock sup-om4 to abound with potash contained either ao potash at all or when found It as la quantities of Iee than 1 per cent. A prominent xlofist and chemist whose company has been Inlereated In these deposits for more than two months told The Niw You Times correspondent that there was undoubtedly potash somewhere there, but very deep, and enly extensive borings could find tt and ascertain whether It was there In paying quantities. The heavily charged potash wster In the lagoon there shows the mineral's presence. Regarding the various samples brought rrom the fields and analysed, showing potash solubl In water ranging from 10 to per there appears only one solution, namely, tome one must have salted them. It the opinion of ono chemist that some one Interested in some way must have obtained water from the lagoon when nearly dry and heavily charged with potash, and soaked rocks In It.

that when the rocks were crushed and analysed they showed a lara-e amount of potash. Armour Co. of Chicago, who had an option on a large tract, for which Havana capitalists paid 4.0n for registering the potash rights, are so convinced of the possibilities of finding potash that arrangements have been made to continue explorations.
