OO,OOO,0O0 tons Of salt! Estimating the
population Of the earth at 400, 900, 0OO this
would be enough to supply them all, as well
as domestic animals, for thousand years. All
through the slopes northwest of the Lake and
down the western shore, are q number of
springs running pure brine; east of the Prom
ontory, all the wells dug within five miles
of the Lake have yielded salt water at a short
depth. II any one doubts the statement that
the waters of the Lake are taken up by evap-
grafton, and inclines to the hypothesis Of an
underground outlet, he can easily convince
himself by dipping basin Of the water and
exposing 1t for "A few moments to the action of
the sun and wind; the drying air and the di-
rect rays of the sun will eyaporate it in an in
credibly short space of time. Very beautiful
effects produced by taking shrubs of
dwarf oak or pine and dashing the salt W.T.
ter over them at intervals of few minutes
allowing the salt to form on the leaves in thin
iilmy crystals The ingenuity of man seems
IN "A fair way to utilize even the immense sd
line deposits in and near the Lake. The newly
discovered process of reducing native ore, in
which salt is extensively used bids fair to be
generally adopted; and as there is valuable ore
all over Nevada and three-fourths of Utah,
the day mny not be distant when we will need
all this useful prcseryative, which is poured
out here i'll such prOfusion as To seem "A waste

je"tIng peaks and higher currents of air and
forced into deuscr masses, and at times he
may observe them pouring upon the nights
the water which will run back and mingle

cycle of moisture which Solomon remarked
in the exactly similar phenomenon of the
Dead Sea: "All the rivers run into the sea-

At the date of our last writing, some four weeks since, we spoke of the unusual quiet and almost entire absence of anything of local interest. Since that time certain events have transpired which have some- what ruf1ed the placid waters. Alienation visit has broken up the monotony of ex- istence, producing events worthy to be chronicled in the Enquirer. We had pur- posed to give a brief account of the occur rences of the occasion, and the general l tenor of feeling and conversation which they manifestly produced, but q regard to the known wishes of personal friends in- | duce us to follow tho eminent example of 1 Gen. Grant, and maintain q studied reti- cence. E#&S$
 An unusual number of religious meet ings have been held since the opening of the year. We do not believe ill the existence of personal, omnipcesent 'DeviI," but if his satanic Majesty IS a real, independent entity and is present in our midst, as has been hinted, we suspect he may be found lurking in certain quarters little looked for.
 Quite curiosity is manifest among the "quid nuncs" of our village to know who may be the New Preston correspondent. We should be quite willing to gratify the curiosity of all such by the publication of our name were it not for the fact that by remaining incognito, we hope to be great ly benefited by the criticisms we occasion. ally hear upon our contributions. We have been favored with two lectures upon the natural sciences by Professor Coleman which We think have been both interesting and instructive.
