through shalcs aud clay. The volume of
salt water is much larger and comes up
with more force than in the other we'll
it is complete success, and fully meets
the most sanguinc expectations of the
Company. The other well is kept in
constant use, and the usual amount Of
salt is made daily. TIE brine has in
creased in volume and strength since the
Company commenced to manufacture.
The Portsmouth well is down GAP feet
the Company intend to 90 about 10
feet further = they have met with good
success and will soon commence the
manufacture of salt. The strength Of
brine is from so to 900. The brine
lowing over the top of the well in large
quantities is said to be CO. strong.
The Bay City well is sos feet deep
they have plenty of good brine.
1t is now a settled fact that we are
nearly in the centre of an immense salt
basin, and our facilities for shipping,
obtaining wood, strength and large sup
ply of brine cannot fail to make this

'he Quality of East saginaw Salt.

ccived handsome silver mcdal, awarded
for barrel of line salt exhibited at the
Fair of the Mechanics Institute, at the
Wigwam in Chicago, in September last
1t was entered for the company by S. w.
YAwKEy, Esq, who states that it came
in competition with very handsome speci-
mems of Syracuse salt.
The committee of the New York
State Agricultural Society awarded a
diploma for a barrel exhibited at the late
Fair at Elmira
The salt Of this company has been in
general use since last August, and is
uniformly spoken Of with satisfaction
Some Of our packers and butchers have
used j. constantly on beef and pork, with
perfect success A considerable amount
of it went among the fishermen on the
Lake shores, some to Thunder Bay, and
some to Lake Superior. Mr.. 10 TRoM.
nLEY speaks Of it as making very clear
brine, and as being more economical on
account Of its strength. Its action on
fish he speaks of in high praise. Mr..
HARVEY WILLIAMS, ono of the most
careful and experienced fishermen at
Thunder Bay, writes to the Secretary
that he has used the salt since September
and thinks it will pack more fish than
the Syracuse fine salt, and the brine is
purer and stronger" He says he has
opened some of his fish packed in Scptcm-
Der, and finds them ain first rate condi-
Goa.s lie gives the opinions Of several
companies of fishermen from this State
and Ohio, wlrs have been using the same
salt from Thunder Bay, as agreeing with
his own, that it is "parcr, stronger, safer
and more economical for fishermen than
the Symcusc fine SALT Some OF Mr..
WILLIAMS fish arc in town aud show for
themselves.
Mr.. JAMES l.. KETcuAN, one Of the
Directorseof the Co, sent packages of
the salt TO Orange County, \. " re-
questing some of his friends among the
dairy,nen there to give it thorough,
trial on butter. They report that it
gives perfect satisfaction, except as to
coarseness. Its use in butter is a very
delicate test, aud has been followed by
success. They commonly use the Ashton
QiverpooD salt, which is made very fine
for dairy use. The coarse grain of ours
is a condition that recommends it for
other uses, while it could be readily pre-
pared for dairy purposes by grinding.
