That is, if you boil down one hundred pounds of sea-water, it will yield you about three pounds and a half of salt. "`But are there not many lakes and brine-springs that contain a far greater proportion than that? "`Many. There is a large lake lying in this very Desert, to the north-west of where we are, called the "Great Salt Lake." The waters of that lake are more than one-third pure salt.
For example, in the district lying between Saarbrück and Manheim, there exist vast beds of coal, and powerful brine-springs; but hitherto, in consequence of being out of the way of traffic, and there being only wretched cars drawn by cows, as the means of locomotion, this great mineral wealth has been locked up, and next thing to useless.
