He did so, and soon found that the demand ft for his product largely exceeded his capacity to tb ot. meet it. And then bethinking himself of the ad- si( his visability of digging at out so as to open its sources th for a mere free exit of the water, he set several w' at superannuated negrs es to work to accomplish it. I ret These old negroces did not work very indastrioaily; In so, on the third morning afterwards, when Mr. is 'd Avery went round to see how they were getting so ble along, he only found them fourteen feet below the r surrounding surface, when the following conversa cc In ton ensued : c I" csant dig furder down, Mars John, eaze I've a struck a fIst rock which aivers the who.e bot Stornm." b' lea "- Nonsense" said Mr. Avery, " I never heard c. of there being a rock within fifty miles of here; yo U Iylave strruck an old suoonken log." g ich " No! it's sut otuff roc, fore God, Mars John, , it is."

And this Ild was the way these mines were a:acouered. hi t It cannot be supliosed that Mr. Avery lost any p tiue in investigating this wooderful discovery, u S sand he found that at about fourteen feet belo~ toe surface of the soil salt was to be found in a sol t id mas all the w ay to the edge of the bay.
