a dozen raw eggs in a tin pail which
he placed in the tank box. The trip

In Nevada are several deposits of min
eTal soap. One Of these has beer worked
for three or fOur years. The soap is
sometimes made up into cakes as it
comes from the mine. but usually it is
toned down by admixture with various
other soaps. In Dakota and Wyoming
are also deposits of natural soap. In re-
gions where soda, borax and mineral oils
abound 1t is only necessary to bring these
ingredients together and a soap mine Is
the result. Hot springs assist materially
In uniting and concentrating the mate
r1als provided by nature. Tho soap
found about hot springs is, therefore,
generally harder and more perfect than
that produced in the dry way in and
about the basins of extinct lakes.
The waters of Owens and Mono lakes
are 30 thoroughly saturated with borax
and soda in solution that the addition of
any o~leaginous matter produces soap.
The waters Of Mono lake produce myriads
OF gTubs (Which aftera time become fies)
which are washed ashore. and in some
places form beaches a foot or two in
depth. The oily matter contained in the
Erubs or lilies, uniting with the alkali in
the water Of the lake, forms a deposit of
soap an inch or two in thickness each
year. Thus, in h course of ages, n de
post of natural soap of great depth has
been built upon the east side of the alkali
lakes, where the worms are stranded
prevailing winds being from the west.
These particular grubs are the only living
Things found in the waters of Mono and
Owens lakes.
At certain seasons an insectivorous
duck, called the spoonbill, ~frequents
these lakes, and, feeding upon the
aquatic flies and grubs, becomes SO fat it
can hardly fly. Hunters kill these spoon
bill ducks for their oil, as the grub on
which they feed imparts to them a fishy
taste so strong that they cannot be eaten
except by Indians, who eat both worms
and ducks. Ducks killed by hunters and
lost arc sometimes found in the waters
of the lake. All the feathers r eaten
off the fowl by the alkaline solution. and
the layer of fat beneath the skin. an
inch in thickness, is found to be changed
