The Chinese statesman kindly COM
piled with his request and, getting his

planned that the left hand column con-
tanned a list of his titles, while the

A VAST SALT FIELD.
How the Product Is Obtained In the
Middle of the Colorado Desert.

How the 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
border and 264 feet below the level of
the sea, lies a field Of srystallized salt
more than a thousand acres in extent,
presenting a surface as white as snow
and beneath the monday glare of the
sun so dazzling that the naked eye
cannot stand it's radiance. 1t stretches
away for miles and miles about Salton,
Colo, an ocean of blazing, blistering
white.
Here daily throughout the year men
are at work overturning the great de-
post with massive plOws and scrapers,
getting it into great piles preliminary
to putting it through the refining proc
ess. The salt plOws used to secure the
harvest are great four wheeled imple-
ments 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 prelim-
mary 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 al
most pure salt that the plow has hardly
passed on before a new crust has
formed in the furrow left. This fact
renders it unnecessary to operate more
than a small portion of the vast de-
post.
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 Coahuila Indians. OF
these the Indians are by far the better
adapted to the work, the japanese per-
forming only one portion, sewing the
sacks in which the salt is shipped. The
atmosphere, laden as it is with parti-
Giles of salt, gives rise to a painful
thirst, and the only available drinking
water comes from a single well. 1t is
warm and i'll tasting.
Beautiful mirages frequently appear
dUON0 Cu0 SICdC salt hCAu III Ih0 Ody
time, sky pictures Of magnificent cities
and flower dotted, tree shaded fields.
The moonlight, too produces Won
drously beautiful effects upon the
great field of cleaning salt. For sew
eral weeks in the year the thermOme-
ter on the salt field averages 40 de-
grees, and the reflection of the sun
produces a glare like that from a fur
mace. The deposits vary in thickness
from ten to twenty inches and form
a solid crust over the great marsh. 1t
is estimated that about 700 tons are
now plowed up daily.-New York Trib-
une.
