Wsn Hamilton mas, On his ranch in
Kern county, salt lake which is very
valuable, and quite curiosity in that line.
The lake furnishes an immense amount of
the salt the year round, bus it is in sum-
mer that it yields the largest quantity.
The lake fills up with water In the winter,
and when the waters have begun to recede
at the approach of dry weather the shores
are lined with pure salt, as fine in quality
as that which is sold in the market. The
salt is coarse in quality, and all that is re.
quired to make it ready for the table is
grinding. Mr.. Hamilton's salt lake is
quite bonanza.
