4 River Intensely Salt.

1t was long supposed that the btack-
ishness Of Salt River, A~rizona.V was
by the stream running over Z
bed of salt somewhere along its course.
its waters are pure and fresh from the
place where 1t heads, up in the White
to within fifty miles Of the
place where it empties into the ella.
Fifty miles from its junction with the
GilA there comes into it q stream Of
water that is intensely salt, This strsom
pours cut of the side Of a large noun
tain. and is from twenty Ia thirty feet
deep. 1t is very rapid, and pours into
the Salt River . great volume Of water.
Here could easily be manufactured SUIT
ticient salt to supply the markets of the
world. All that would be necessary
would be to dig bitches and lead 10
brine to basins in the nearest deserts.
The heat of the sun would make the
salt. Were there q railroad near the
stream Its waters would doubtless soon
be turned and let to immense evaporat-
ing ponds. 1t is supposed that the in
terror Ut the mountain out of whish/
the stream flows is largely composed Of

Neyada's Chief City Slowy shifting liz
Location.

Our town Is very quietly and very
slowly moving to the eastward and
down the face Of the mountain. This
is Owing to tho settling Of the ground
over the Bonanza mines. As all the
town is going together it is not much
noticed on the surface, where no cracks
are q The water and gas compa-
mics are better acquainted with the
movements taking place in the ground
forming the site Of the town than most
others, ~ the instability Of the earth
tells upon their pipes. On Il and G.
streets, north Of Union. the ground is
moving both north and east. A water
main, running north and south. uncov-
cred yesterday at the corner Of Is st rect
and Sutton avenue, was found to be
telescoped TO the distance of over a foot,
and besides had in il u great kink which
made it necessary to take out a piece
nearly two feet in length.
About the Consolidated Virginia pan
mill the pipes are c%rowding in from
both $ and west; ut least, owing TO
the settling Of the ground in the neigh.
~borhood. there appears To be two move
mcnts. Although there are rs yet no
cracks in the central part Of the towns.

for n considerable distance, when il
takes its course southwark, west Of
Stewart street, and finally joins the old
crevice below the Gould and Curry crop
pings. Toward the north this c%revice
is about eight inches in width. and the
ground OF the east side of it is about
three feet lower than on the west side.
Captain OvertOn. of the Water Compa-
ny, whose opportunities for observing
these movements are unsurpassed, says
that rs the ground settles over the Bo-
nanzas that on the slope of the noun
tain. where il is not much undermined,

International Hotel has moved east

provincial. II Is AN immense Halifax.
Our politics threaten England and her
manners threaten us. Our tendency
Is to make men all alike and extinguish
