  Onondaga 
  county 
  ranks 
  first 
  among 
  the 
  counties 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  

   in 
  quantity 
  of 
  annual 
  output 
  and 
  has 
  contributed 
  by 
  far 
  the 
  

   largest 
  total 
  production. 
  Between 
  the 
  years 
  1797 
  and 
  1892 
  there 
  

   was 
  made 
  and 
  sold 
  from 
  the 
  Onondaga 
  Salt 
  Springs 
  an 
  aggre- 
  

   gate 
  of 
  71,284,419 
  barrels, 
  equivalent 
  to 
  9,979,819 
  short 
  tons. 
  

   If 
  the 
  salt 
  utilized 
  for 
  soda 
  manufacture 
  be 
  also 
  included, 
  the 
  

   production 
  of 
  the 
  county 
  to 
  date 
  can 
  not 
  be 
  much 
  less 
  than 
  

   20,000,000 
  tons. 
  Up 
  to 
  the 
  year 
  1880, 
  when 
  the 
  beds 
  of 
  rock 
  

   salt 
  in 
  the 
  western 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  began 
  to 
  be 
  utilized, 
  Onon- 
  

   daga 
  county 
  supplied 
  the 
  whole 
  output, 
  but 
  since 
  then 
  it 
  has
