Lakevlew Rustler I One of the most valuable and natural productions of Lake county Is the sail produoing lakes of Warner valley, owned and operated by D It Jones, of Lakevlew. They are about 15 miles northeast from Plush, and consists of six different lakes, ranging from two to ten acres In area. During the wet season of the year the lakes fill with water and the salt forms on top; when the water Is all dried up in Lbi fail tbs salt te left on the bed of tbe lakes, from ons to three luohes deep. A bard crust un derneath makes it easy to take It op clean. The salt Is first scraped np In wlnrows against boards, tben It Is sacked up or wheeled out to ths bank and piled up ready to be hauled away. One of tbe largest lakes produces a very Que quality of salt, that is bard to beat from any salt country. Ths salt from this lake needs no grinding or refining for table use. Oae peculiar thing about tbess lakes, is that they are mixed In among fresh water lakss in some Instances there will be a salt lake and a fresh water lake not twenty steps apart. Obituary.
