Excerpt from Report of a Geological Survey of the Vicinity of Belle Plaine, Scott County, Minn
Sir - In pursuance of an appointment from Governor Austin, dated St. Paul, March 30, 1871, Ihave made such geological survey in Minnesota, and especially in Scott county as seemed requisite to enable me to form an opinion of the prospect of obtaining brine at Belle Plaine, or in its vicinity, of sufficient strength to sustain the manufacture of salt.
For the information of your company, I proceed to state the facts and general principles which have guided me to a conclusion.
Common salt and its solution, brine, being a product of chemical reactions in the primeval ocean, and not, to any considerable extent, the result of recent causes, its original home was the ocean and as a geological product, its place is amongst the other sediments and precipitates of the sea, which make up the body of stratified rocks. With out pausing to explain the circumstances under which we believe the saline particles have become mingled with mechanical sediments in the progress of rock-making, it may be interesting to know that all formations since the begin ning of Palaeozoic Time, and not unlikely from an earlier period, are liable to be found saliferous.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth scientific investigation into the prospects of salt production at Belle Plaine, Minnesota, based on the geological survey conducted by the author. The author analyzes the geological formations of the region, comparing them to known salt-producing areas in the United States and drawing upon his expertise in Michigan's salt industry. The book explores the geological conditions necessary for brine accumulation, and assesses the likelihood of finding viable brine sources in the area. It also examines the potential for obtaining Artesian well water in the Minnesota River valley. The insights provided in this book contribute to our understanding of salt formation and the geological factors that influence brine availability.
