In Lincoln county. on the Rio Virgin,
IS one of the most remarkable deposits
I Of rock salt on the continent. It Is found
n hills 500 feet above the level Of the
.yalley and chemically pure. Blocks Of
~ over foot square are so transparent
|that one may read paper through
them. So solid is this salt that It must
be blasted out the same as II 1t were
brock. This deposit of salt lies about
quarters OF a mile west of the Rio
Virgin and three miles south of the
Mormon village OF st. Thomas.
IThere body Of this salt in
Iexposed for a length of nearly two
'miles, which is about half mile wide
sand Of unknown depth. The deposit
runs north and south and can be seen
{on the surfa ,e for distance Of over
Enine miles. In places the caiions
khave cut into il depth of over fifty or
1sixty feet. AT these points the Hike
COMPANY formerly blasted out the salt
Required in working their ores. This
-great deposit of salt is situated Mt an
faltitude Of 100 feet above the level
of the sea. 1t is undoubtedly very
iancient. as in one place il has
been covered by flow Of basaltic
rock. In other places it is covered to "a
iepth of from one to five feet with vol
panic tufa. At Sand Springs in Church
III county, besides the salt that may be
phoveled up from the surface, there Is
ound deposit Of rock salt fourteen
eet in depth. The salt is as transparent
's the clearest ice. and does not contain
n particle Of any foreign or deleterious
substance. 1t may be quarried the
lame at II it was marble. It is said
hat one man can quarry and
wheel out five tons day Of this
ALT. 1t is only necessary to
rind it to make it fit for table or
Hairy use. Sixty or seventy miles north
i this, at the eastern base of the Dun
len range Of mountains, is the great
Humboldts salt field. This is about
fifteen miles long and six miles wide.
n summer, when the surface water has
vaporated, salt to the depth Of two or
pur inches may be scraped up from the
arface Beneath the surface is a
gratum Of pure rock salt Of unknown
Fpth. This rock salt is so hard that in
rider to get it out rapidly it is necessary
