THE SALT INDUSTRY.
Tie Story ef an Interesting Diseeiery

NM Once Mere.
"W. T." contributes the following
article to Onward :
Probably not one in a thousand of those
who say, •'Please pass the salt," ever give
a thought to salt -making, -or the bet 43te
nista of the industry in Canada.
animal consumption of salt in the Domin-
ion approximates 600.000.000 pounds. leas
one-half of which is yet of bane pro-
duction. Its chemical name is sodium
chloride (Na Cl.). An indispensable
preservative and condiment aiding diges-
tion, its use is as universe, as civilisation
or the salt water girdle of the globe. By
usage we acquire a relish for it in food,
although Robineon:Crusoe's man Friday
spluttered it out or hi mouth at tine
taste. The Bible enjoins its use snecific-
ally (Lev.- 2: 13) and the true disciple is
designated:the rah of the earth." One
old proverb says that "nothing is MOM
useittl than sun and salt:Tend another
tells us to "trust no man until we .have
consumed a peck of salt with hirn."
The discovery of the great salt deposit
of Canada is the result of what is called
luck. or chance. In 1866, when the
Petrolia oil boom was on in Western
Ontario, and fortunes were being made
and lost over night, the Goderich Petro-
leum Company was formed to seek crude
oil in the Maitland River valley. The
drillers went down through Roil. gravel
and rock layers with discouraging results.
Remarkable water fissures were struck at
about 300 and 500 feet, but no oil. 'The
funds subscribed.ran low, and, to sustain
'hope, there is a tale that one night several
gallons of black crude found their way
into the hole, and on being pumped out
next morning excitement ran high and
more capital was subscribed. The boring
was pushed down to about 960 feet, when
instead of a gush of petroleum the oper-
ators were rewarded about September by
