THE Iron CLAD FLEET.-Secretary Weiles has
issued orders for the vast fleet of monitors and
ironsdes comprising our irou-clad navy to lie at
the navy yard in Philadelphia, as soon as they
can be taken out of commission. 1t is said that
the reason Of the selection of that location for
the purpose is, that salt water Injuries these

ADVANTAGES

The Rdvantages Of the Saginaw
Valley as a salt producing locality arp
such that with q uniform, and syste-
matic plan Of operations among the
several manufacturers, it can, npques-
tionably compete successfully with
any other locality For the, Western
market, which experience has shown
il the only market Offering anything
like a sufficient demand for our saline
product. These advantages consist in
an abundant and undiminishing sup
ply Of brine the purity and strength
Of which is attestsd by o, series of
anal yses by scientific. men whose con-
clusions In the premises are indispu-
table; as also by experiment, which
has demonstrated the ease and facility
with which It can be made into pure
salt; in the favorable geographical and

its accessibility by, means of lake ves-
sells and steamers, and the abundance
of fuel and barrel timber We give

INTRODUCTORY.

In preparing this, our second an
nual statement of the salt and lumber
business of Saginaw Valley, it has
been our aim to arrive at as near an
accurate detail Of matters presented
as circumstances will permit, neither
ignoring the advantages nor disadvan-
tages of the situation, but condensing
as much as possible the facts and
figures given, e9,li ~ .iss' fstl
The growth OF the salt interest finds
no parallel in the development Of any
of the natural resources of the West,
and whatever the result in individual,
exceptional cases, the investment in
the main has proved highly remuner-
ative, and that under the most adverse
circumstances. The extraordinary in
crease in the demand for fuel and bar
rels from I $50 toll s62, an increase
which put in requisition tho labofs of
over five hundred men in an en-
tirely new avocation, while the de-
mand for labor in mills and on salt
works already exceeded the supply,
left the salt interest for time entirely
at the mercy ofthese collateral branch
! es. si,ig, 5A .9ilisno1nad % LayUm1f bl
In the progress of the business the
want of a uniform system Of inspec-
ton has become every day more and
more apparent; justice to purchasers
and a proper regard for the interests
of manufacturers demand such sys-
TEN, and it is to be hoped that the
Legislature now il session win pass
some measure to meet the necessities
OF the case. 81 8o "a D. .a1lat
The lumber business, which has i'm
cidentally been greatly benefited by
the development of the salt interest,
being longer established and better
understood. has adapted itself to GER
tain grooves in which it runs system
atically and successfully, Governed
by'inspection rules applicable to the
various markets where it is sold, rules
accepted by manufacturers, by general
consent; it requires no special legisla-
tive regulations or restrictions. The
result of every well devised and care
fully managed operation therein.
within the past six years has been
successful, and the interest is now upon
SO sound a financial basis that it may
well be considered beyond the reach
of material arrangement or disaster.

SALT MADE IN SAGINAW, MICH.

"a r.. u IA
! The first investment in the salt busi-
ness on Saginaw River, was by the
East Saginaw Salt Manufacturing CO.,
at East Saginaw, in 1859; present
value of the salt investment in the
Saginaw River District nearly two and
half million dollars.
The production of 1860 at the Ka-
nawha works, was -.unquestioaably
greater than it has been for any year
since, in consequences of disturbances
incident to the war, the locality where
the works were established having in
its progress several times changed
hands, and nearly every time at the
sacrifice of a largo amount of the
property and appurtenances employed
in the business. Fifty years of pro-
gress in the manufacture of salt in
the Kanawha Valley did not equal
the progress made in four years in
Saginaw Valley and forty-two years
Of progress at the Onondaga Salt
Springs, the leading salt producing To-
cality in United States since 1907,
did not equal tho progress made here
in five years. In 1860 gontle-
man who was for some time Su-
perintendent of tho 0nondaga Salt
Company, and for years one of the
most careful, practical and successful
salt manufacturers in New York, a
gentleman possessing the fullest
knowledge Of all matters pertaining
to the question of markets as we'll as
manufacture, gave it as his opinion
that it would be at least FIVE years
from that time before the annual pro-
duct of Saginaw Valley would reach
one million bushels-r-200 900 abbls--
and that before then the demands of
the Western marketwould be increased
to an extent which would require this
amount in addition to the customary
supply from the Onondaga Co: How
that prediction was verified in regard
to the Saginaw manufacture may be
seen by reference to the above table,
tho product for the Sd year, 1862, be-
ing L,2l5, 900 bushels. t}The AshipL
msnts of Saginaw Salt 10 Chicago for
1864, tho slth year Of .manufacosre''
were 343, ,SS7- bbls an excess of
120,SS7 bbls. over the entire receipts
Of domestic salt in that market for
1860, and 1918 bbls. moro than
wero received there during tho past
year from the OnondagaCo,
