Government E.toa.s Opsras.xs-

The present controversy between the
United States government and the salt
operators Of the southwest relative to
the rights of the latter to utilize GER
tain unallotted mineral lands is de-
yeloping some facts of singular inter-
est concerning the particular region in
volved. The location of these salt de-
posits is in the midst of what is
known as the great Colorado desert, a
short distance to the northward of the
Mexican border, says a Pasadena cor
respondent in the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. The chief interest attach
ing to the salt produced in this district
lies in the uniqueness of its natural
formation. While partaking of all the
qualities of rock salt, such as is de-
rived from subterranean sources, the
Colorado desert deposit exists in the
form of vast crystallized field cover
ing an area of more than 1000 acres
and lying at a depression of 264 feet
below sea level The surface of this
saline waste is white as the driven
snow, and from a distance, under the
influence of the dazzling sunlight, it
presents every appearance of a billow-
less, foam-strewn sea. The deposit,
which varies from one to eight inches
in thickness, represents a high grade
of native salt, slightly but impercept-
IDLY blended with carbonate of soda.
The crust thus constituted is remark

years. There's one evening ia the

That's Monday night, when / light my

today young men and women. I was

memories that those quaint items in
the Local News call forth. Well, you
city newspaper men may poke fun at the
country weekly az you will, but I fail
to see why the fact that a resident Of
Unionvflle has lately bought the place
of another resident of KNOXVILLE, and
intends to move into it, may not be
as well worth chronicling in the local
paper of Unionville as the fact that a
dog of a famous actress died ON the
steamer is worth two-column pictures
and a half-column description in city
dailies. Blamed'f I can see much diff
ference in merit between a poodle dog

ably tenacious, notwithstanding that
beneath it are numerous salt springs
to which its formation Il due The
greatest interest that has hitherto at
tached to this vast salt field was in the
spring of 1882. when for several
months 1t became. together with thou
sands OF acres round about, the bed
of the famous Salton sea- Fer some
time It was the general superstition
that the great inundation had proceed
cd, through subterranean passages,
from the Pacific ocean. until the theory
was dissipated by the discovery Of an
immense break in the Colorado river
beicw the Mexican line: through this
outlet the waters had streamed. cleav-
ing a channel through the desert sands
to the crystal-covered region beyond.
For seven years prior to the flooding
of tho district a company lad been en-
gagged in taking out large quantities OF
the native salt for shipment through
out the continent, and when finally the
waters subsidized the industry was re-
stunned on a yet larger scale than be-
fore. The plant introduced by the
operators consisted chiefly of a modern
grinding mill, together with a steam
dummy line connecting with the South
ern Pacific railroad in the north. By
means of these facilities it is estimat-
ed that this one concern has annually
shipped out an average of not lsss
than 1000 tons of salt, ranging in
value from S. to $34 the ton, accord
ing to grade. This lucrative enterprise
continued to thrive without opposition
until the latter part of December last.
Then the United States land office sud
denly turned it's attention to the mat
ter, and in view of the fact that the
land yielding the operators the most
valuable supply of salt had never been
allotted by the government, straight
way enjoined the alleged trespassers
from further operations pending an in
vestigation.
