A GPEAT SALT FIELD.
How Product is Obtained in the Middle
of the Colorado Desert.

In the middle of the Colorado desert,
a little to the north of the Mexican Dor
der, and 264 feet below the level of the
sea, lies field of crystalli2ed salt more
than a thousand acres in extent, present
ing a surface as white as snow, and be
meath the nOondare glare of the sun so
dazzling that the naked eye cannot
stand its radiance. 1t stretches away
for miles and miles about Salton. Col, an
ocean OF blazing, blisterng white.
Here daily throughout the year men
are at work overturning the great depos-
it with massive ploWs and scrapers. get
ting it into great piles preliminary to put
ting through the refining process. The
salt plows used 10 secure the harvest are
great four-whneled implements, driven by
steam and managed by two men. The
salt crust is thrown up in parallel ridges,
then laborers with hoes work it to and
fro in the water, washing out the dirt,
preliminary to stacking it in mounds to
be taken to the mill.
Salt springs in adjacent foothills are
constantly contributing to the deposit
and so heavily laden are they with almost
pure salt that the pillow has hardly passed
on before 4 new crust has formed in
the furrow left. This fact renders it I'M
necessary to operate more than small
portion Of the vast deposit. At present
only ten acres are worked.
AS may be supposed, work in these
fields is performed under the most try
ing conditions. No white man can stand
the intense heat, and for this reason the
work is done wholly by japanese and by
Coahiuila Indians. OF these the Indians
are by far the better adapted to the
work, the japanese performing only one
portion, sewing the sacks in which the
salt is shipped. The atmosphere, laden
as it is with particles of salt, gives rise
to painful thirst, and the only available
drinking water comes from a Single well.
1t is warm and i'll tasting
Beautiful mirages frequently appear
above the great salt field in the daytime
sky pictures of magnificent cities and
fowcr-dotted, tree-shaded fields The
moonlight, too, produces wondrously
beautiful effects upon the great field OF
cleaning salt. For several weeks in the
year the Thermometer on the salt fields
averages 40 degrees, and the reflection
of the sun produces a glare like that
from a furnace. The deposits vary in
thickness from 10 to 20 inches. and form
solid crust over the great marsh. 1t is
estimated that about 700 tons are now
lowed up daily-New York Tribune.

"a Look and a Half a Look"

While in Florida, travelling the country
road, l asked a native how far it was to
the next town and his reply was. after
squirting sharply in the direction Of the
place: wal, | reckin hits about a look
an half Il look" That meant as far
as | could see and half as far again, pro-
vidng our ranges of vision were the
same, which was not nearly the ease, MS

preston puzzled me f)r long time. but
at last it is settled. After Abraham
went out Of Egypt the Lord said 10 him:

to be an expression of ideas that are far

The King OF Portugal is forbidden by

New York. April Mrs. Emilia Carl,
whether she is wife or widow, walks

built about eight years ago. The loss on
the machinery is estimated at $50, 900, and
on the building $50 600. Both were Insured.
The mill was owned by Horace Kimball
OF this city and operated by Samuel S.
Mellor. who is absent In Philadelphia on
a business trip.
The fire started I'm the picker room and
its origin Is a mystery
The mill was equipped with automatic
sprinklers which received their supply
from a large water tank situated I'm a
tower above the roof of the mill. These
sprinklers were all right as far as they
went, but they could not begin to cope
with the flames. which quite rapidly
spread TO other parts OF the mill Willing
hands set TO work al once, and four lines
OF hose were put in operation. the mill
plant furnishing the necessary pumping
power.
These STRAINS were reinforced by two
other streams from the mill OF A. l..
Sayles * Son, which is situated near by.
and which were also directed toward saw
ing the box factory OF William r. Sheldon,
which was threatened by sparks from the
burning structure. AT about midnight the
flames put n stop 10 the power which
worked the pump OF the mill and the four
streams were rendered useless.

and toward which the wind was blowing.
There was some talk OF seeking assistance
In the way OF n steamer from this city,
but the plan was not put into operation,
and later events proved that ~ was not
really needed at that stage OF the blaze.
The fire gradually gutted the interior or
the mill and there was no way OF staying
its progress. The structure WAS a three
story stone building covering an area OF
about C0x200 feet and having an ell in the
rear, which contained the boiler room and
the picker room above. At about 12:45 the
flames had eaten their way through the
roof and the middle portion then fell in
