discovered by boring, the strata being everywhere covered by Tertiary 

 and superficial deposits. Between 1849 and 1871, 10 bore-holes

 depth, have been productive of strong workable brine ; but the supply 

 being insufficient, a shaft has been commenced in order to work the 

 salt by regular mining. H. B.
