cred in the adjacent mountains and
packed in a conical pit, tamped IN
tightly and covered with straw and
leaves. At the bottom of the pit a
well is dug, with a drain connected
at the bottom to carry off the water
formed from melted snow. As the
cost of collecting and storing is very
small, the only labor is in delivering
