Michigan Salt Industry History and Output Chart
Gen W T Hill reports Michigan has produced 67 247 890 barrels of salt since 1860 with state inspection starting in 1849. Output peaked at 944 208 barrels in 2887, eight districts yield 4 425 000 barrels annually with 109 firms. The industry faced purity issues and formed a state inspection bureau and tax to fund regulation, leading to a northern salt trust and cheap production in Saginaw valley using sawmill byproducts as fuel.

The Lowie Falls Sentinel reports a curious case near Alder where several family members contracted typhoid. A doctor ordered boiling water after a well was found full of dead ants, with the water drawn through a bottom lead strainer. The low water level led to drinking ant-laden water for months, doctors saying the decaying ants explain the illness.
