The works for the manufacture of salt are now in process of 

 erection, and will probably be ready for use before January 

 first. A second well is also being sunk to supplement the first. 

 The plant is owned and will be managed by Humphrey & 

 Calkins. They will make common, fine, dairy and table salt as 

 the market may require, and will use both pan and grainer 

 processes. A manufactory has also been started at Pearl Creek 

 station. This has two wells, and an apparent capacity of 400 to 

 600 barrels per day. The works are on the east side of the 

 tracks of the B. P. & P. P. P., just north of the station. 



Pecord of a well at Pearl Creek obtained from Otis & Barton,
