SAGINAW SALT.


We find the following among the list
of premiums awarded at the recent
State Fair in Detroit
Best specimen salt, C. o Garrison, L. Saginaw, silver
medal AMI dip.
Solar salt, II. c. Potter E. Saginaw, diploma rec
commended
Mr.. Garrison was in attendance in per.
son at the Fair with some excellent
specimens of salt of his manufacture,
and was represented also by Mr.. CARR.
CUES, an accomplished Chemist of this
city, whose experiments in tho analysis
ofthc brine, which he was prepared to il
lustratc by results in form of fine
variety of specimens, were ofgreat ser
vice in the matter of explanation. Aside
from the private advantage gained, and
we hope it will prove no small item,
Mr.. Garrison is certainly entitled to
great credit for his energetic efforts to
call the attention of the people of the
State and elsewhere, in a practical way,
10 the saline resources Of this Valley.
The specimen of Solar Salt from the
works of the East Saginaw Salt Manu-
featuring Company, entered by DIR.
Potter, attracted much attention and was
universally conceded to be most excel
cnt article, it came in, however, nearly
day too late, and it was only by
stretch of both courtesy and authority
that it was entered at all. Being OF
different mode of manufacture, 1t did
not come in competition with the salt
exhibited by Mr.. Garrison, in fact it
was mainly through his efforts that II
was properly placed, and brought into
notice.
