ONONDAGA SALT SPRINGS.

NEHEMIAH H. EARLL, Superintendent. M. VAN VLECK, Inspector,

These springs are situated in the town of Salina, Onondaga couuty, and are the property of the state. Only 45 gallons of the water are required for making a bushel of salt. At the salt works on the sea coast in Massachusetts, 350 gallons of sea water are used to make the same quantity.

The salt is manufactured at four different villages, viz. Salina, Syracuse, Geddes, and Liverpool, the largest proportion being made at Salina. The state receives a duty from the manufacturers, for the benefit of the canal fund, of 12 1-2 cents per bushel.

Quantity of salt inspected in 1826

827,508 bushels

do.

1827

983,410 do.

The net revenue derived from salt duties by the state from 1817 to 1832 inclusive, is $1,483,686 65.

Coarse salt weighing seventy-six pounds, and equal in purity to any in the world, is sold at a price which nets the manufacturer nine cents per statute bushel of 56 pounds, and fine salt is sold at six cents. Notwithstanding the heavy state duties and tolls, the dealers have pushed it in competition with foreign salt, east upon the Hudson river and northern canal, and west as far as the Ohio river at Wheeling. The average price of salt at Turks Island, in the West Indies, is about 9 cents; in Liverpool, England, 15 cents; in Portugal, 8 cents. The present public works for raising salt water, consist of seven erections. Four of these are calculated to go by water and three by steam. The only pumps now in use, are three propelled by water power; two of which are located at the village of Salina, and the other at the village of Geddes. These, it is believed, are capable of furnishing a full supply of brine to all the manufactories on the reservation, and have done so since the first of October, 1831.

N. B. The total quantity of salt now made in the United States, is about 4,500,000 bushels annually, and the quantity imported from foreign countries in 1829 was 5,945,547 bushels; total consumption of the United States, over ten millions,
