found, and it has long been the custom
for a few enterprising men to go to the
lake in winter time and gather from the
shores and bars what has been known to
them [1.8 winter suit. In fact, the presence
of large crystals appearing like salt and
found only in cold weather has long been
known and commented upon. This win-
ter salt, as it has been called, is really a
very pure article of sulphate of soda, oom-
inonly culled glouber salt, and it has been
osuhject of much comment in the past
that so much of it could be found in win-
ter time, as a result of its crystallization
at 3 dogrccs temperature or lower, when
such very small evidence of its presence
can be obtained from an analysis of the
water of the lake or its salt. This, how-
ever, is now fully cleared up.
A few weeks ago the salt company found
it Romero-my to extend, by ditch or fiume,
their pumping plant at Saltuir, owing to
the lowering of the lake, and Manager J.
W. Heywood in prosecuting the work
struck at u depth of six inches below the
old bike bed this soda deposit. He brought
samples to town, and it was found to be
pure sulphate of soda mixcd with silica,
which can be separated without trouble.
Sulphato of soda is used largely by the
soap and gloss works of the country, and
gives u particular lust-er toplnto glass that
can bo obtained in no other way.
