Senator Logan, who has just returned
from his long tour in New Mexico,
gives the following description of the
wonderful salt springs which he and his
companIons discovered in that Territory
about twenty miles northwest of Moore
and Casey's great Tanchi "Here is q
salt basin about one mile in diameter,
and the waters ebb and flow as regularly
as do the tides of the ocean. When the
tide goes out the edge of the basin shows
salt instead of sand. In the midst of the
lake are three conicsl-shaped mountains
100 feet in height by 100 feet in diame-
ter, which are apparently composed en-
tirely of cinder, such as is left in any
ordinary CRATE after the coal is burnt.
One of these forms an island in the mid
die Of the basin, but the others are so
situated as to be accessible when the tide
is ont Fortunately this was the case
when we were there, and, actuated by a
desire to see all the wonders, we clim bed
t. the top of one of these mountains. It
was foand to be hollow, ust as if an im-
mense funnel had been thrust into the
top, and at the bottom, about un level
with the water in the main basin out
side, was spring which we discovered
WAS possessed of several peculiar feat.
ures. The water was found 10 be strong
ly impregnaled with salt, and its densI-
~ SO great that a person in bathing
would find it impossible to sink or even
stand up in il, or do other than float up
on It's surface. The depth or the spring
is unknown, and this too, like the water
in the basin, GIBBS and hoHs with the
tide. | think that by the use of ST.
phon hundreds Ut barrels of salt could
be obtained from this spring daily.
These springs consist of part of about
Two hundred acres which have been re-
served from entry or sale by the govern
ment as saline lands.n

slender, winding stalk whose four or five
edges are studded with prickles. The
plant in itself is 4nite ordinary in ap.
