MOSCOW, Nov. 1. - The enormous deposits of potash recently located in the eastern section of European Russia, along the River Kama, one of the tributaries of the Volga, near the township of Solicamsk, are described by Professor Preobrajenski in a report published in the Pravda on the prospecting work conducted by him in the past year at an expense of $250,000.

More than $12,000,000,000. The potash deposits were proved at a depth of ninety-two meters over an area of forty square kilometers. Fully half is of first-class commercial quality, ranging between the German Stassfurt potash and that of Upper Alsace. The extent is estimated greater than the latter, which the German experts valued during the peace conference at 12,000,000,000.

Professor Preobrajenski states that the average depth of the deposits and the geological formation makes the extraction easy and cheap. Through the Kama, the Volga and the Marinski Canal a system of cheap transport to Leningrad is assured.

Will Break Monopoly. High officials of the Supreme Council of National Economy attach great importance to the discovery, particularly as to the German-French potash monopoly is known to be operating at an immense profit, while simultaneously restrict the output.

Would Aid U. S. Cotton Group. "We have decided," they say "to deal if possible with the consumers of potash, rather than the producers. The United States today is the largest foreign customer of the German potash trust and Russia is the largest potential consumer if our farmers could be supplied" cheaply.

The prospect of the large scale export of potash from Russia to America is of especial interest at the present moment when Russia is anxious to buy large quantities of American cotton. Russia could easily absorb $100,-000,000 worth of raw cotton annually, it is said, while at the same time it is belived here that American farmers would welcome potash fertilizer at a price from 30 to 40 per cent below the rates of the German-French monopoly.
