Lots Wife Nowhere.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The salt mountains located on the banks Of
the Rio Virgin, an afiuent OF the Colorado
river in Lincoln county, covers an area OF
twenty-five miles, extending to within seven
miles of the junction Of that str cam with the
Colorado. The salt they contain is pure and
white and clearer than glass, and II Is said that
piece seven or eight inches thick is some-
times clear enough to see through to read a
newspaper. Over the salt is layer of sand
stone from two to eight feet thick. and when
this Is torn away the salt appears like a huge
snowdrift How deep 1t is has not yet been
ascertained but single blast Of giant powder
will blow out tons Of it. Under the cap rock
has been discovered charred wood and char
coal and mating made of cedar bark. which
the salt has preserved, evidently the camp of
prehistoric man.

Church and won the respect and esteem of
their neishbors. Tuthill joined several so.
oial clubs, and every one who knew him
liked him. He neither drank nor swore, WIS
ever ready to help any one in need and
counted his friends by the score. shortly
after Tuthill came to Montclsir several bold
