FIND VAST POTASSIUM - DEPOSITS IN U.S.S.R. ¥ " ‘ MOSCOW, U. S$. S. R. (By mail).—The discovery of new and rich de- posits of potassium in the, Bercanjkov region, ; potassium fields, is leading to the belief here that the newly unearth may surpass the old. The area of the deposits of potas sium salts in the Solikamsk region, the Kama district of the Ural region has been surveyed on a surface of 120 square kilometres and to a depth of 300 metres and has been found to contain a total stock of 2,000 million tons of oxide of potassium. Analysis has shown that out of 70,000 tons of potassium salts 11,500 tons, of pure oxide of potassium are produced. ‘Thus these stocks may make of the Kama region one of the most im- portant places im the world for the production of potassium salts. The world stocks of potassium ave estim- ated to amount to some 2,000 million tons. ‘The huge dimensions of the Soli-| kamsk and Bereznikov deposits, their favorable situation near such a big _ navigable river as the Kama, and the Kizel coal mines with a region elec- | Workers’ Sports Meet in Prague. near the great Solikakmsk mineral tric station, the small. depth, relative the west, of the layers in connection with the important role of potassium in agriculture—create the possibility of a rapid development of the ex- ploitation of the newly discovered salts. the net cost of the production of po- tassium will be 6 roubles per ton frenco barge at wharf. Seventy per cent of the production is expected to be used for satisfying ithe needs of the home market and 30 per cent for the foreign markets.
