now in this city, who is thoroughly ac-
quainted with the salt mines in San
Elezario, over which the recent dis
turbances nave occurred, says there are
vast deposits Of crude salt, probably left

salt lake. They have long been known,
and tor many years the people in the vi
cinity have been in the habit OF going
thither unmolested for their salt. When
the territory in which these salt pits are
located was acquired from Mexico, the

years of free access to the pits have
made them public properly, which the
State government has not the right to
convey 10 private parties. To be com
