We are. informed by Mr.. Hebird. of this
CITY, who recently visited Nebraska Territory.
and made IN examination of the newly dis
covered Salt Lake and Springs, that there is
no exaggeratiOn in the accounts published
that it is really the most valuable saline region
yet discovered in this country, and will afford
salt enough to saltthe whole world!
Mr.. Hebird SAYS Il is situated some forty
miles from the Missouri, and twentv-fve from
the Platte riyer-that tbs water is discharged
rom qsite anumber of springs the capacity of
one Of which he measured, and found that It
discharged 100000 gallons in twenty four
hours. He brought a bottle of the water here.
which was handed to one Of our druggists for
analysis. And this gentleman declares It al
most free from mineral and other foreign sub
Stances, and that It will afford one pound Of
pure salt to each gallon Of water. Here is a
mine Of real wealth opened which viii prove
more valuable Than the gold mines Of Califor.
