NEW ENGLAND SALTCOMPANY.
This company has commenced oper-
atoms, three miles East near the Plank
Road and upon the Pere Marquette
Railway, where they own some four
hundred acres of wood and timber land
of most luxuriant growth. The stock
Of the company is owned mostly in Bos.
ton, and the management of IFS affairs
is in the hands Of Capt. +. f. GARDNER,
as Superintendent, who as Master Of
vessels in the India and California trade,
! has been in an excellent school for
"roughing it" in the lumber and salt
business of the Saginaw Valley, This
Company have begun at the right end
They have secured plenty of wood and
timber at reasonable figures and will be
subject to no monopoly in the wood or
timber market. They have an engine
of thirty horse power and most ca
pacious locomotive boiler, and at the
same time they commence sinking well

of slaves, heading and barrels, the tim.
Der for their manufacture being abund.
ant upon their own lands, and to be
purchased at q very reasonable rate OF
their neighbors-of course they are to
be controlled by no monopoly in the
stave and barrel market, and if there be
any profit in this manufacture, they will
come in for it. They are within a
fifteen minutes ride of the centre OF
business of this city and can command
ready transportation by the Plank road
or by Railroad and most certainly in
this particular, must have an advantage
in the interiorstrade. They claim that
for the outside trade they have the .ad-
vantage of cheapness of manufacture
as it is mere question of transportation;
il being much easier to transport the salt
ia barrels to tho dock-than it is to
transport the wood to manufacture the
salt. We are almost inclined 10 think
that they have some grounds for this
last claim, as granting..that. it takes seven
cords of wood to boil fifty barrel OF
salt-it must cost far less to haul fifty
barrels of salt than it will seven cords
of wood. Be this as it may-there can
not be a doubt that this company have
made an excellent location and will be
able to manufacture barrels and salt at
remunerative prices. They propose
manufacturing salt by new process of
steam evaporation, by which they an.
ticipate a great saving of space, time
and fuel. We visited these works few
days since and were surprised at the
new face being put upon the wilderness.

was luxuriant growth of "old growth

forests, the oak and elm, were most ro

Factory, with tower attached, 30X6C

preparation for an immediate Salt Block

fact is sufficient guaranty that th'
