sea was vast that IL would change the
climate of southern California.
The deposit Of salt at Salton is one Of
the sights Of California. 1t lies in a de-
preston almost three hundred feet below
the level. and was at some time in the
past the bed Of a sea. or extension OF the
Gulf Of California. From the train which
passes nearby, the tract looks like a vast
snow field, and in the early morning is fire.
quently the scene of beautiful mirage ef-
fects. The salt deposit, which is essential
ly rock salt, covers about one thousand
acres, and is at present the center Of in
terest on account of the dispute of rival
companies over the possession of the prop
erty. The company In possession has
shipped from this place annually about two
thousand tons of salt, valued at from 50
to $34 per ton, according to quality. The
OUTFIT Of the salt mine consists mainly of
crusher, a drying building and a dummy
line from the salt beds to the Southern
Pacific railroad not far distant. The work
Is carried on mainly by Indians, who can
withstand the intense heat OF the desert
loo degrees In June-and the glare better
than white men. The work is interesting
and novel. The drying house is a building
coo feet in length. about which hundreds of
thousands of tons of salt are heaped haY-
ing all the appearance Of snow. Here the
salt is dried and milled. The salt is col
lected at first with a plow-a singular ma
chine with four wheels, in the center OF
which sits an Indian guiding it. the motive
power Is a dummy engine some distance
away, which hauls the plow along by ca
bleS. AS II passes. the steel breaker Is
seen to cut a broad but shallow furrow,
eight feet wide and three feet long throw
ing up the ridges either side, Indians
now follow along, and with hoes pile up
the salt in pyramidal forms which later is
transported TO the mill. Each plow har-
vests 200 tons OF salt per day. A singular
feature of this bed is that the salt is being
deposited daily by springs which run into
the basin. and the water evaporates IL
leaves crust OF almost pure chloride of
sodium, which ranges from ten to twenty
inches in thickness. over the lake. IL will
be seen that there is no danger Of exhaust
ing the supply, which is forming all the
time; and, in point of fact, the plows have
in the past years worked almost continu-
ously over the same area, only about ten
acres having been plowed.
The salt. when delivered at the plant is
hoisted to the upper floor and placed in a
bulkhead breaker where II lis reduced to
particles Of the same size. 1t then passes
through burr mill and is well ground.
After this 1t is sifted and is finally passed
through an aspirator, which cleanses il of
all foreign material. when IL is ready for
packing in bags The salt is used for q
variety of purposes. and is of several diff
ferent grades. the lowest being unrefined-a
product called hide salt, used in manufac-
tories. Large quantities sold for sea-
bathing purposes, certain amount pro-
ducing very similar chemical equivalent
to sea water. Other grades are prepared
for table, dairy and for the use of drug

of that most able and skillfully constructed
instrument was that 1t anticipated all for

REMARKABLE SALT DEPOSIT.
1t IL One of the Wonderful Sights of
California.

From the Scientific American.
Few readers of the Scientific American
had heard of the sea of Salton up to 1892.
At this time the Colorado river broke its
barriers and flowed into the desert Of Cali
fornia, flooding 1t to an extent OF hundreds
of square miles. In the vicinity Of Salton
was one of the largest salt deposits In
America: the water encroached upon 1t,
and for a time threatened the industry.
but after creating an excitement which
spread over the entire west. 1t receded.
The rumor was to the effect that the new

man tramped on the remaining forty miles
to the Indian village. He reached there IN
a terribly exhausted condition. He made
the Indians understand the condition of
affairs and party Of them went back with
him to where he had left the two others.
They carried food with them and a pack
of dogs and soon reached the camp of the
original party. With this aid they contin-
ued their journey into the Klondike In
addition TO his pay as cook for their camp
IN the klondike every man in the party
shared in small way the fruits of his
labors with this man, and the man now
lives In Cheyenne a respectable well-to-d
citizen"

Little Real Difference of Opinion.

Little Real Difference of Opinion.
The public here, with so many more ex-
citing and urgent things to think about
for the most part does not realize what a
very small point separates the two coun-
tries in regard to the construction OF the
canal. Practically all that we now differ
about are the two points of % the control
of the canal by America in case of war
and ca the communication of the new
treaty to the powers-i.e., the making of
the powers parties to the naturalization of
the canal The first point is really not a
substantial one. The Americans do mot
ask to be allowed to fortify the canal
though. as we have always contended,
fortification is not matter of real import
ance-but merely claim in effect that If
they were at war with another power they
must be allowed to use the canal to protect
the national salety-Le use 1t themselves
for their war vessels, but not allow the
enemy's ships to do SO. After all, that
claim is very natural. The canal will have
been made by American public money or
by means of an American subsidy. and the
Americans therefore cannot tolerate the
idea Of it ever being used to endanger the
republic. But though we understand Amer
lean feeling on the subject it is in reality
quite unnecessary to express the matter in
a treaty. The canal will be worked by an
American company. every one of the great
locks will be worked and controlled by
American engineers, every pilot will be an
AiheilCdH SiuST SuCh circumstances, QOSS
any sane man imagine that. treaty or no
treaty, power at war with America will
be able to use the canal?>e A hostile ship
might get as far as the great Nicaraguan
lake, but 1t would naper leave it till the
war was over. These being the plain facts,
we cannot see why we should quarrel with
America because she Isl as we hold foolish
ly, anxious to express in1 words a right
which We know she must .be able to ex-
erc1se, and will exercise In fact.
The Other Powers.
The other point in dispute is the COM
munlcatlon OF the treaty to the powers, in
order that their assent may be given. In
our opinion 1t Is very absurd of the Amert-
cans to object to this, for we can assure
them that they are utterly mistaken In sup
posing that Germany, France and Italy will
De content to leave the question OF the
canal ignored and undiscussed. But 1t Will
be said, we must insist on the communica-
nlzed as part OF the public law of the world.
The treaty will become that without our
fussing. We have only to make the pro-
vlso run that there is to be no dinerentia-
ton or dues In favor#Of the vessels OF
America or OF any other power. Then the
powers can deal direct with America and
secure their rights-we being secured
against any undue preference by what win
be virtually most favored nation clause.
A treaty OF couple OF clauses would be
all that would be necessary. We do not, OF
course. diaguise from ourselves that the
americans would md the new treaty pro-
ouce many more difficulties and coMplica-
lions with foreign powers than tbs origi-

citizen"
The business community of England
and also the continent are at present en-
crossed with the consideration Of the great
consolidation of industries which is going
on in the United States" said Henry #.
Chalmers of Liverpool England, at the
Arlington. I'VE undoubtedly feel that the
gigantic combination of all the Industries
which are allied with the production of
steel Is great menace to the established
plants now in operation in England The
general superiority Of the steel products
of America is now conceded on the CONT
nent and even in England your locomotives
are in demand and are rapidly replacing
the best efforts of manufacturers
"A consolidation. such as Mr.. Morgan has
brought about. will enormously reduce the
cost of the production of steel, and In ad-
dition to that by controlling the railroad
and steamboat facilities he will be able
to market his products anywhere on earth
at considerable less cost than any OF her
single manufacturer. This gives the
United States steel trust great advantage
ana L doubt very much if the entire steel
interests of England were brought under
one head and management we would be
able to compete for the worlds trade with
Mr.. Morgan'S trust.
There Is probably no better examnIa of
the stride which the American manufac-
turer has made in his bid for the steel
trade of the world than that furnished by
the amount of steel rails now being nur
chased of your mills. The manufac turers
of the United States are actually selling
these rails both for steam railway and for
CITY tram purposes, at a price at which 1t
Is ruinous for the English mills to attempt
to compete with. This cheap price Is also
offered the railroads now being construct
Cd In South America, and 1 venture to say
that scVen-te3ths of this trade Is now in
the hands of the new steel trust, with a
strong probability that the entire South
American trade will eventually be absorbed
by it.
You can readily see what scare the
English and continental manufacturers
have had. and the worst Of it is that the
further Mr.. Morgan's project develops the
less chance the allied interests of Europe
feel they have of competing with it,

Is the Treaty worth a War,

>' INV II wal
Let us consider for a moment what will
happen IL we do not adopt this view but
stand strictly on our rights under the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty. In that case it Is quite
evident from the tone and temper of
American opinion that one of two things
must happen. Either the Americans will
refuse further negotiations and the canal
Will not be dug, in which case We shall
lose the great advantages which would ac-
crue to US from the new isthmian water
way they did from the Suez waterway,
or else the Americans, contrary to all in
ternational right and usage, will tear up
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and will tell us
| that II we want to stop the construction
of the canal on American terms we must
do so by force. Then will arise the ques-
ton whether 1t will be worth our while to
fight. OF course, il we are prepared to
fight, and do, well and good In that case
those who advise us to take firm stand
on our rights under the Clayton BulWer
treaty will have shown that they have a
definite and consistent policy, and whether
substantially right or wrong they will at
least have earned the praise due to those
who know their own minds. Those then
who carry their opposition to Ameri-
canized canal to the point of war and are
fully determined to fight, merit and must
receive our respect. But how many of
such persons are there? We believe that
public opinion-f. e.. the majority of the
British peopc-WOuld absolutely refuse to
sanction war with America over the abro-
cation Of the ClaytonBulwer treaty.
