miles cant east of montpelier in bear lake county idaho and aro are capable if worked to advantage of producing three tons of salt every twenty four hours the road to the salt springs la Is not good but can be improved at comparatively little cost and salt halt can be delivered in montpelier at a cost coat of about 60 cents per pound we are pleased to present as a fact the superiority ol 01 salt

quantity than the bitter substances found in the tle bear lake salt chloride of potassium in its properties Is much like chloride of f odium um yet if present in large quantities in common salt it Is very apt to injure ur 0 the flavor of butter in which such salt Is used the bitter substances exist in reater greater quantities in the solid matter or salt of salt lake water than in either the bear lake or the iriv liv balt salt in accordance with the abote above analysis of the salt from each of the ahrea places named the bear lake salt sait contains the least amount of bitter substances and although ii it contains a little of the most disagreeable odethe quantity isso Is so small that it is probably the beat of all for salting butter and for other family wes les the bear beat lake salt is not eo so clean as the liverpool it contains a little organic matter of which the tho liverpool is entirely free with a little care however in preparing the salt for use the organic matter could doubtless be eliminated and the bear L lake ke salt be bd made as clean eiban as an that hat of liverpool JOS T chemist in deseret university |
