The Salt Question.

Once more our citizens are wax
ing up and talking considerably on
the salt question. Mr. VIM. Brock,
the man who sank the salt wells Mt
AuSablc, Caseville, and many wells
in Saginaw Valley, is to be in this
city this week, when meeting OF
our citizens will be held for the
purpose of taking into considera-
ton the feasibility of sinking n
salt well in this city. We under
stand that Mr.. Brock, although he
has been long in this business,
never sank a well for salt without
meeting with success, and at the
meeting he will probably give our
citizens all the desired informa-
ton on the subject.
That salt can be obtained at this
city no one questions, and we arc
confident that if the work is push
ed forward our citizens will GER
tainly reap handsome reward for
the outlay of money and labor
We need more manufactures and
enterprises in this city, and we be-
lieve they can be had if our citi-
zens will put their shoulders to the
wheel and assist in the matter.
In speaking of the salt rock un-
derlining Michigan, Prof. Whin-
chel, geologist of Minnesota, says:
ain regard to the prospect for
the manufacture of salt, geology
simply testifles that the great On
ondago Salt Group underlies the
entire district probably within
three hundred feet, and that there
is no evidence that it will not prove
as saliferous in the Cheboygan re-
gion as at any other place.
From the above we draw the in
ference that the Professor believe:
that salt cou d be obtained at Che
boygan, and if so, there is not thu
slightest reason why it cannot b'
found at Alpena. At Au Sable
less than sixty miles south of thi
city, brine has been found il
abundance, and of the best qualit.
in the State, and If well is SUM
at Alpena, and put to the required
depth, we may have the manufac
) ture of salt to add to IT,, interest
t of Alpena, as well as lumber ant
: other products.
! On the same subject, Alexande
!, Winchel, L. L. d., in the geolog.
| of Michigan says:
