Two Story Lake in Mexico a Salt Producing Wonder
The New York Sun describes a self producing lake near Salinas station on the Tampico division, seventy two miles west of San Luis Potosi. A green mud roof separates fresh and salt water, with the salt mine feeding Mexico. The lake dries to salt for much of the year, salt mined for decades by a distant family as the town of five thousand lives off the industry. The owners seldom reside at Salinas, while their old castle like residence stands as a relic of feudal times.
