Salt Formation.

The abundance OF the salt formations in
Nevada is illustrated by the fact that in
Lincoln county there is deposit OF pure
rock salt which is exposed for length OF
two miles, q width OF half mile, and is
of unknown depth in places canyons are
cut through it to depth of sixty feet,
and not only have the deposits been traced
on the surface for distance of nine
miles. but it is so solid in places as to re-
quire blasting like rock, and SO pure and
transparent that print can be read
through it some inches thick. In
Churchill county there is said to be de-
post OF rock salt some fourteen feet in
depth, free from any particle OF foreign
substance, and which can be quarried at
the rate OF five tons day to the man.
What is known as the great Humboldt
salt field is estimated to be some fifteen
miles long by six wide. According to
the description, when the summer heats
have evaporated the surface water, salt
to the depth OF several inches may be
scraped up, and underneath there is a
stratum OF rock salt OF the purest descrip-
ton, and of depth unknown Eureka
Sentinel.

THE EXAMINATION CONTINUED.
Angus Appears. But the Absence of
the District Attorney Neces-
states II POstpOnement.

The antique smile, "packed like sar-
Dimes" was never more applicable than
to the condition OF the witnesses and
spectators who appeared at Judge Nc
Kay's office this morning prepared for
the examination OF Angus NJ. Canon on
the charge OF unlawful cohabitation. But
witnesses, spectators and reporters were
alike doomed to disappointment, the ex-
animation being continued, by consent,
till Saturday morning at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Dickson was unexpectedly called
to San Francisco on business Saturday
evening, and as Mr.. Varian had an i'm
portant case in the Third District Court,
it was desirable to the prosecution that
the case should not go on. Mr.. Cannon
and his attorney, Mr.. Richards, very
kindly agreed to the continuance, al
though it in some degree Inconvenience
them.
Probably the most surprising feature OF
the examination will be the calling of
an unprecedented number of witnesses,
most OF whom were seen in the Commits
sioner's Office to-day. The names OF
those present were: Annie Marks,
Mrs. Elizabeth Marks, Barbara Paul,
Estel Benyon, Ira Benyon, Nettie Ben
yon, Alvin Matthews, John f., Sarah

were called, but were not present. The
entire number is twenty-nine, very
