SALT AT A ..--0SCOUNT.
A few days ago the Henson. Salt Well
company had a meeting for the purpose of
settling up their accounts and disposing
of the :well, which they had sunk at a very
large expense. They concluded to give
the well to the man who owned the land
on which it was, divide what little money
was 'left, and dissolve the company -a wise
proceeding, _Thus ende the great scheme
that was to add so immensely to the busi-
ness prosperity of Hensall. The man who
now holds the well offers it for one dollar
to any person who will bind hiiaself to
erect a block and carry on the manufac-
ture of salt, an offer not likely to be ne-
cepted -under the present depressed con-
dition of the salt interest.
Exeter, we understand, is determined to
make an attempt to raise a boona in its
midst by the sanae process, madly believ-
ing that by some better financial schem-
ing the,,,7 will succeed. It appears that the
adage a fool and his money is soon se-
parated," is destined to hold good to the.
end of time.
The Wroxeter,well, after having been
sunk over 1400 feet, and finding no salt,
issalaandoned,-awhieheeis-sessgood-thing-fors
the stockholders, for if they had found
salt -they would have most lilrcly , erected
it block, and thereby lost considereble
naore money. It is about time that a ces-
sation took place in the waste of money
in sinking salt wells, for nothing but loss
can be the result, either to the parties who
originate new sehenies or to.those who are
already in the business, as more than
enough wells are in operation to supply
all the salt needed in Ontario for the next
ten years, with an abundance for export
to wherever it will pay to ship it. Like
niany other 'things in Canada, ihe salt
business is under the weather in Conse-
quence of over competition.
