CARMEN ISLAND. - Carmen Island is about
eighteen hundred miles from San Francisco by
water, on the Coast Of Lover California. near
the harbOr Of LoIetto. Ii Is about three miles
long by about half a mile wide, destitute OF all
vegetation except a few shrubs. and is supposed
70 be the crater Of an extinct volcano. 1t belongs
10 the Mexican Government. and during about
nine months Of the year Is inhabited 10y a few

and the peculiar process of its production are
unlike ANYTHING Of the kind anywhere else. The
salt lies in q sort OF basin, which Covers but d
small portion of the island. The surface of this
basin presents precisely the appearance of n
broad lake. frozen into solid ice and covered
with u few inches Of lUOse, Criited snow. For
an infinite depth in this basin, the salt is solid,
clear, and nearly a. transparent as the ice used
for cooling water IN our hotels. II is not OBJ
tanned for shipment by mining 1t from the solid
mass. Nature has provided a better arrange

found in layers. about two OF three inches thick,
perfectly horizontal and smooth. all that is ne
ces~ary TO be dons 10 obtain any quantity required,
Is % break up the >OpmOst OF these layers with
crowbars. and load tie ship. In eight days after
a place has beeen striped of lis upper layers, it
i re-hlled with salt Of precisely the same appear
ance and quality. by the evaporation Of the
water which rises from beneath and fills the hole.
And this process of quarrying and Reproducing
may he Carried on To any extent. for any length
Of time; eight days will fl the hole made in

board vessels at a stated price About l2.O00
tons reach San Francisco annually. Its purity
renders it remarkably well adapted for curing
meats. fish and for dairy purposes. By careful
analysis it has been found to contain upwards Of
ninety Per cent. Of pure chloride of sodium.
