PINE AND SEA In the open-pan system, the brine is evaporated by direct heat. Brick furnaces were built under great wide shallow pans. The first salt cradle, the reaper and ,the milk made in Goderich was made in iron kettles ^set in brickwork with fires underneath. In the grainer process evaporation is not caused by direct heat, but by submerging four-inch steam pipes in the brine near the bottom of the pan, the salt is not only removed by the old man-hand led rqke, but by -hyraulic rakes. In the cauurn process the brine is plac ed in huge metal retorts and the air partly exhausted therefrom; the brine boils as a consequence at a lower temperature; the steam gen erated is applied to a second retort in which the pressure is lower than the first and in which the brine will boil at a still lower temperature th&n in the first. Both these plans of evaporation are more economical than the open-pan system. 25c. each subse- Miscellaneous ar- Wanted, Lost, orr line of six words.. 10 c. per line, 50c. Legal’ ad- 8c. per line.

The Ransfords drilled a well just outside the town ton in 1867—they quest of oil—built -a, plant and operated years; Coleman and Govinlock, step father and stepson, both physicians, sank a salt well in Seaforth in 1868, and Gray, Young and Sparling an other about 1870, the latter well supplied two plants besides Process Changes limits of Clin- were also in manufacturing it for many other “blocks” or its own with brine. In 1871 a Mitchell with rock salt, „bxt down to a depth of 2,150 feet none was discovered. The next year Joseph Kydd, of Dublin, general merchant, lumber dealer and sawmill owner, had ,a well drilled in the little village. He sank his drills to a depth of 1,850 feet—a much greathr depth than the wells in Safortli—and, although springs of salt brine were found, the springs were not sufficiently strong to warrant the erection of a manufacturing plant. In 1873 Mr. Kydd saused a well to be drilled on the Dorsey farm one and a half miles east of . Seaforthj’s main st., and, at a depth of 1,050 feet, found a, solid bed of rock salt. A pipe line of tamarack pump logs was laid on the Grand Trunk right-of-way to Dublin, a distance of five miles, to convey the briney I have been told that the logs were joined together by flat metal rings sunk into the ends of adjacent logs. At any rate, either the logs themselves or the joints -were unepal to the pressure imposed by pumping and the whole line found its way quickly to the discard. The wooden pipes were replaced by iron ones ‘laid on the graded part of the railway right-of- way close to the ends of the ties and through these was successfully con veyed the brine to Dublin, where it was evaporated. The Dublin plant operated about 13 years, ginning some time in 1875. well was drilled in the object of finding be- A well was drilled in Exeter in 18SO and is still in operation; the present manager is a son of .John Ransford and a grandson of the man who drilled the first salt welt at Stapleton, a mile outside of Clin ton.

News of such disasters spread like wild ■fire through the neair-by country and wore tlfe subject of conversa tion on every farm miles around. A report of the successful repairing of the pipe was hailed with a satisfy ing joy by the whole community. The brine was evaporated in open pans, and the salt “raked” out of the bottom of the pan by means of a long-handled hoe. Occasionally the “raker” slipped into the hot brine and received a severe scald* ing. One Saturday night in the spring of 1880 the boiler operating the pump at the Kydd well on the 'Dorsey farm exploded and killed •The habit, so to speak, of salt making as well as the process of preparing jt for the market, has changed in the 60 years that have elapsed since the first rocksalt well was drilled in the County of Huron. The plants at Clinton, Seaforth, Brussels, Dublin, Blyth, , Wingham are things of the past; the high py ramidal buildings that housed the derricks no longer punctuate the sky-line; the low, barn-like ‘blocks’ have ‘been “mouldered Kydd plant 88 and the ties. lake ports, at Goderich, Sarnia, Courtright, Windsor. In the early days of salt-making Coleman & Go- uinlock’s yard was piled with hun dreds of cords of wood; literally there were acres of cordwood. A procession of wood sleighs bobbed up and down in the pitch holes of the north, road hauling the fuel ne- cesary foV evaporating brine in Sea forth, while the farmers of Logan and Eastern McKillop ran a paral lel procession on the town line to feed the Kydd furnaces in Dublin. Such lavish consumption of wood stripped the wood lots bare and the salt manufacturer had to look for other fuel Mid to economize in the use of whatever fuel lie used. As a consequence slack coal came into vogue as a fuel, and as it could be purchased more cheaply at lake ports than inland the manufacturer of salt tended to concetrate in lake ports. The Windsor salt well was was drilled in 1892, just about the time the Clinton and Seaforth plants ceased operating. Whether or not this coincidence was a mere acci dent or whether one was a result of the- other it is difficult to say, but one thing is clear—•none of the or iginal wells of Huron or Bruce were situated on the C. P. R. except the ■one at Wingham, and I am under the impression that when the salt association was formed some time abput 1890 for the purpose of reg ulating the sale and reducing the cost of selling that the Wingham well was the first one closed by the association.
