Excerpt from A Geologic Reconnaissance for Phosphate and Coal in Southeastern Idaho and Western Wyoming A reconnaissance examination of a part of southeastern Idaho and western Wyoming lying between meridians 110° 45' and 112° and parallels 43° and 44°, comprising an area of approximately 2, 000 square miles in the vicinity of Big Bend of South Fork of Snake River, was undertaken in 1912, for the purpose of collecting data for the elimination of lands from existing phosphate reserves if it was found that they contained no valuable deposits of phosphate. The writer spent three weeks in the region north of Snake River and north of the area examined in a reconnaissance by Schultz and Richards in the autumn on 1911. As a result of this examination 141, 287 acres of withdrawn phosphate land was restored to agricultural entry. The data collected during the examination indicate that only a part of the phosphate land in this region was included in the phosphate reserves created by the withdrawals of December, 1908, December, 1909, and July 2, 1910. The former boundary of the phosphate reserve in this region has therefore been so modified and extended as to include all the known phosphate areas. This has necessitated the withdrawal of 84, 507 acres, leaving a net reduction in the outstanding Idaho phosphate withdrawals of 56, 780 acres as a result of this preliminary examination. The withdrawn lands have been included in the phosphate reserve because it is known that they are underlain by phosphate deposits.
