Remote Mountain Lake Rives Salt of Many Uses
In Wenatchee Washington on June 17 a vast Epsom salt deposit is mined from an ancient lake bed in the northern central mountains. A mud layer 12 feet thick overlies 18 to 28 feet of 95 percent pure salt, with development now under way. Tunnels and dynamite loosen the crystals, then shipped 10 miles to Oroville for refining. The salt serves as a base for more than 100 chemicals and has wide uses from face powder to brake linings.
