NEvADA.-It is reported that in the
new State of Nevada, beneath thin
covering of refuse saline matter, for
for depth of fourteen feet, pure rock
salt is found clear as ice, and as "white
as the driven SNOW" Beneath, there is
water, which seems TO be filtered through
salt to an unknown depth. The whole OF
the fourteen feet in thickness does not
contain a single streak of any deleterious
matter or rubbish, and is ready for
quarrying aud sending to market. The
locality IS one hundred miles west oil
