For seven miles the rails Of the
Western Pacific rest on a foundation OF
salt. This salt bed, which was not dis
covered until 1905. stretches a distance
Of ten miles north and south, embracing
almost 10000 acres of clear white crystal
lized salt that averages from 97.5 to 1921
per cent pure. 1t Is one Of the great
wonders Of the wonderful west and in the
future promises to be one Of the great
sources OF wealth OF Utah. Spread over
the 10000 acres there Is an average depth
Of six feet Of practically pure salt The
depth varies from few Inches about the
edges Of the deposit to fifteen feet near
the center and on the line of the rail-
road. The property has been located un-
