CONSTRUCTION, which, however, had all
the appearance Of real salt structure.
salt Is extracted from the brine in
Great Salt Lake by pumping water into
evaporating ponds, where the salt Is
finally deposited on whatever happens
TO be on the ground. It was discovered
that when the brine. which is approxi-
mately 20 per cent in the lake had
evaporated sufficiently so that the solu.
ton was about 40 per cent in strength.
articles dipped into the brine would
attract the crystals and they would
FORM on any surface, particularly wood.
This was how the lumber was coated
for the Salt Palace. It was taken 10
these ponds, one side was allowed 10
become covered with these CRYSTALS, and
then later salt water was poured over
TO weld the joints. At first the build
ing was very bright, the crystals daz-
cling in the sunlight. However, they
were not immune TO rain, and after
several seasons they were no longer
originally. The origin Of the FIRE which
destroyed 1t was never definitely deter-
mined. However, like many resorts Ia
smaller cities, it had too much compe-
tition, and was therefore not sufficieutly
profitable to warrant rebuilding"
