Excerpt from Statistics Relating to the Saline Interests of Michigan

Near by, but at a greater elevation, several small springs of brackish waters were seen issuing from the sloping bank of the river, which upon examination were tound to contain a notable quantity of salt.

The quantity of water discharged from these springs is small, but when considered in connection with those already noticed, they become matters of considerable interest, since they serve to show that the salines are not confined to one or two springs, but are widely dispersed over a large district of country.

Brine springs are known to exist near the mouths of Flint and Cass rivers, in Saginaw county, and also in Sanilac county, but as they occur in a flat sec tion of country, the unfavorable season compelled me to defer examining them until some future time.
