proposition with them. For this reason
the crude salt industry has decreased
materially, while the income accruing
from the total business has remained
almost stationary during the past ten
years. While the income remains prac-
tieally the same, the tonnage has fallen
or OndeFfully, in fact TO such an ex-
tent that at the present time the total
TOM lge Is only about IS per cent OF
the production for the years 1891 and
1892. In 1892 10O,00e tons of salt was
made in the state Of Utah. but large
part OF that amount remained unsold.

extent in chlOrination mills, bIt that
