SALT METHODS,
IN the Marshes OF the Fongo and az
Ctah's Great Lake.

"a the marshes OF the konEo and at
ttah's Great Lake.
One of the sights OF the Great Salt
lake of Utah, developed by the prog.
ress OF scientific industry, Is the sys-
TEN OF immense salt making ponds on
the shore of the lake. AT Sutair the
lake water Is pumped into great set
thug basin, where the impurities fall
TO the bottom and, continuing much
Iron, form reddish deposit. From
this basin the water is drawn Off iutJ
harvesting ponds" averaging 9O,UOJ
square yards III urea ana six inches In
depth. The ponds are kept supplied
with water as the evaporation goes on
from May to September when the salt
harvest begins The water having dis.
appeared. dazzling luyer OF salt two
or three inches thick Is found covering
The bottom of the ponds, which is bro
ken up with plows before being con
veyed to the mills, where the final
crushing and winnowing IRE done.
In general the salt marshes of the
hongo region represent kind OF pock-
ct OF rift in the soil. They are to be
found in considerable numbers in the
district of Suinbalt, and there are also
many Of these marshes OIL tile left

The heavy shrinkage in market
values gave rise to the inevitable
reports of money difficulties and
added to the uneasiness prevailing
about the stock exchange. There
was no confirmation of these reports
and their failures of notification
helped to the rebound The extreme

attributed to the operation of the
