Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Technology of Salt Making in the United States
Such natural brines are found at Malden, in the Kanawha Valley, W. Va., and along Ohio River in the vicinity of Pomeroy, Meigs County, Ohio, and at Mason and Hartford, Mason County, W. Va. They also underlie a large area in northern Ohio, including the region around Akron, Barberton, Wadsworth, Rittman, Cleveland, and Fairport Harbor. The brines in northern Ohio have never been worked, and, indeed, great care has to be exercised that they do not get into the salt wells and ruin them by polluting the brine. The different localities mentioned have been visited in connection with this work, and where the brine is being utilized the methods of salt making were studied. Samples were collected for analyses in most places where they could be procured.
