Fifteen Million Tons of
Salt in Dried Up Lake

Fifteen million tons of salt are lying
on or near the surface Of the ground in
Silver Peak Marsh, New, waiting for
commercial utilization. Silver Peak
Marsh is a salt playa. or dried-up lake,
Of prehistoric origin, about twenty miles
west Of Goldfeld and twenty-five miles
southwest of Tonopah. Recent explora-
tons In this region were made by X. b.
Dole, of the Geological survey, In
search of potash that might be utilized
commercially. But little potash was
found, however.
Practically the entire surface Of the
playa, thirty-two miles square, Is COW
cred with salt. 1t Is estimated that not
less than fifteen square miles OF the
northeastern part contains a ten-foot
saline bed, of which at least 60 per cent
Is salt.
