Salt Making in Mexico.
Tho manner of oxtrncting tho salt
fiom tho many shallow lagoons nlong
this coast Is prlmltlvo nnd simple. At
a convonlont placo, gonornly at hlgh
wator mark, tho following Is con cen
structed: On topof fourstrong posst,
placed upright and protruding out of
tho ground about bIx feet, a flat cov
ering Is built of polos; on top of
those about a three-foot thickness
ot dry grass or straw Is placed. Whon
complotod It Is a flat-roofed shod,
with straw covering. This Is to serve
as tho flllor. Underneath this a re
ceiving bowl Is mndo of stono and
llmo mortar. At ono sldo of tho fll
tor nnd bowl tho ovnpornting pnns
aro made of limo mortar, being shal
low tanks not ovor slx Inchos doop
nnd divided Into squnros of about
150 suporflclnl foot onoh. This com
pletes tho salt works. A layer of
earth ono-fourth to one-half Inch Is
then scrnpod dally from tho oxposod
land that wns covorod with wator
when tho lagoon was full In the wot
season. Tins enrtu is cnrricu in
baskets on men's hoadB to tho top
of tho filter nnd emptied on to tho
strnw roof. Wator Is then filtered
through tho oarth and straw, and
falls Into tho receiving bowl highly
chnrgod with salt. Tho liquid Ib
passed to tho evaporating pnns, this
bolng dono with onrthon jars. Tho
sun ovaporates tho wator and leaves
tho puro salt, which Is piled up In
tho sun to dry. It Is thon packed In
bngs and convoyed by mules to tho
markot.
Tho cost of making this salt Is
about $3.50 United States gold per
ton, and it soils for nt loast twlcothat
much, oven when tho prlcos aro low
est. It is considered tho best of the
Republic, and commands tho highest
prlco. Amout 15,000 tons nro now
produced each year during tho three
months season. With machinery
much moro could bo mado, and no
doubt nt much less cost. Thero Is a
ready market for many times tho
