Nitrate of Soda in the West
The map makers mark nitrate earth in western Utah near Great Salt Lake as a mineral zone with many fields but no successful workings on the opposite side. Government surveys find 3,000,000 tons of nitrate earth in southern caves but only 1 to 2 percent nitrate, making extraction unlikely. Chilean caliche yields about 32 percent cadmium nitrate but crude methods raise doubts about similar efficiency here, despite high costs.
