The grading a road of solid saih
vas until recently an unexpected
task in engineering and Is thus de.
scribed by one Of its operators. In
what is known as the Death Valley
we found a stretch OF solid salt about
eight miles across. In a sense 1t was
level-there were no hills or valleys,
10 another sense there was scarce q
level square inch on the whole bed,
for the salt crust had probably,
through the Influences OF heat from
above and Of moisture from below.
been torn and twisted and thrown
up In the most Jagged peaks, pyra.
mids, and cris-crossed ridges imagt
liable.
They were not high-none more
han four feet-but there was not a
level space even for a mans foot be-
tween them. Every step made was
IN a ragged point or edge OF some
kind. The nearest approach to any
ching like that / have ever e was
on the ice on Lake Erie, where tive
fields had been damned together b.
the wind and held so by the frost.
The ragged ice masses were some
what like these salt masses They
were larger, but they were not SC
sharp or in any way SO difficult tr
cross.
Judging that the crust would sus
tain the weight OF the wagons the
workmen swung the sledge-hammen
day after day until they had beaten
down these pinnacles into smooth
way six feet wide. 1t was perhaps
the most laborious engineering work
ever done in the country, for the ell
mate and location, far from civilized
habitations, combined to retard the
efforts of the workmen. The road.
way, when completed, led over what
may be properly called q naturally
formed bridge Of salt eight miles
iong-the only bridge of the kind III
the world.
As one enters the easterly end Z.
this road, two unmarked graves arr
seen In the salt crust near the track.
They are the graves Of unknown men
who died there from the heat. and,
after the fashion of the country, were
buried where they fell. They we're
covered over with pieces Of salt broker
from the pinnacles near by. The
crust was too hard to warrant dig
cling into it. One must travel a long
time to.find two more graves like
these, II. indeed, two nor can b.
found in the world.-Age Of Steel
