Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee County, New York State August 24-1861 -cont'd.- Discovery of Salt in Erie County. The Buffalo 'Courier' learns that a Stock Company organized for boring for oil, near Big Tree Corners in this county, have struck a Salt Spring. The indications of Salt were first discovered at a depth of 60 or 70 feet; but at depth of 100 feet, the salt water became much stronger and apparently more abundant. Four gallons of the water, boiled down, produced nearly two quarts of salt, a sample of which has been shown to us. We have no means of knowing how abundant this spring may prove; but the discovery of a salt spring so near Buffalo, is an item of interest. ++ The Agricultural Society.--In our next issue we purpose to publish for our farmer friends, the Premium List offered by the Genesee Co.
