I’sttslly visitors to the Ixiwer
Valley hear nothing of a strange
formation which nature has plac-
ed In the edge of the Valley near
the city of Raymondvllle. Shut in
by native vegetation Including mes-
■lulte, nopal, and ebony, the lake
breaks upon the vision with a sur-
prising suddenness when one
leaves the dirt road leading up to
Its edge.
As far hack Into history as man
j can delve, this lake has produced
salt In abundance. It Is said that
many have made tests as to the
J purity of the salt and that only one
j other place In the entire world
! produces salt In Its natural state
that is purer than that gotten from
!Sal del Rey. Bavaria, where solid
rock salt is mined has that dis-
tinction. The tests show that the
mineral procured from the lake Is
as high as 99 2-5 per ceut pure
Bodium chloride.
Of Great Service in Past
In the early colonial days, ships
from France, Spain, and England
brought supplies to the colon'sts
land loaded cargoes of this salt for
the return voyage. A not unusual
sight In the 80's and 90'a was
trains of twenty to thirty high
wooden carts each drawn by four
to ten yoke of oxen hauling this
natural salt north Into the other
states of the Union and south into
various points of Mexico. At the
present time, It is hauled out by
the use of modern trucks and trail-
ers. Some of the Valley Ice cream
companies and other usc-rs of salt
have their own special trucks
which they use for this hauling.
Mexico still comes for its share
of the salt, since many truck loads,
some carrying bulk salt and others
taking it away In sacks, cross the
border into the interior each
month.
Millions of Tons Available
A natural salt dome Is said to
be the source of the never falling
supply. Engineers have estimated
that there are actually millions of
tons more of the salt underneath
the lake waiting to rise to the
surface and be taken away, 'ihe
lake Is largely oval In shape and
covers roughly a section or 610
acres of land. It is very near the
sea level. Its proximity to the
Gulf of Mexico probably has some-
thing to do with the procuring of
salt since the prevailing winds in
the morning are from the south-
east. In this way, the surface water
is driven to the northern and

northwestern edges of the lake al-
lowing the salt to settle and he
gathered. In the afternoon, the
hreete gradually dies down end the
water regains Its natural level,
leaving the settled salt accessible.
Following the Influx of settlers,
more and more salt was used from
Bal del Rey. It was their only sup-
ply and In some rases the families
did without salt until a trip could
he made to the lake. It Is said that
the early Valleyitea made regular
excursions to this source and
cither ground or smashed the crys-
tals Into a usuahle state.
Hundreds of years ago, Sal del
Rey was discovered by a Spaniard
who Immediately dedicated It to
the King of Spain for the use of
Ills subjects. The title Is said to
have been In litigation a number
of times but to be cleared now and
the lake owned by the King Ranch.
At times, the surface of the Jake
seems to have a beautiful pink
color, which Is likely due to some
slight mineral content. However,
most of the time, the lake pres-
ents a clear, crystal white appear-
ance.
Cheap Labor Used
Almost without exception, Mexi-
can labor is used for the working
of the lake of salt. A rustic rail-
way Is used to bring the salt from
the lake to the beach. A car is
made by placing a large box upon
four flanged wheels. This In turn
Is placed upon a track constructed
by using 2 x 4’s In convenient
lengths. The track is laid out upon
the hardened salt and fastened
down by the use of wooden pegs.
At times the track Is a hundred
feet long and it extends out into
the lake nearly to the edge of a
hole which the Mexicans break In
the heavy crust of salt.
The men usually work in pairs.
One of them takes a shovel or hoe
and splashes water over the edge
of the salt crust thereby washing
off any dirt or other impurities.
When this is done, the other man
breaks off a piece of the crust and
piles It back of him In windrows.
They then splash water over this
to finish the task of cleansing.
Thus, as the salt is piled up, the
gradually widening hole comes
nearer. Finally, when they have
quite a quantity, the workmen
{shovel the salt Into the rude car
and push It to the edge of the lake
where It is unloaded. Soon large
piles of glistening salt are ready
to be hauled away.
Seeks New Location
The above methods go on day
after day, each day the salt com-
ing from a different location be-
cause of the desire for a thick lay-
er to he broken off, until enough
has been deposited on the beach to
be loaded Into large trucks which
come for It. Since the crust on the
lake forms quickly, the men can
go back and work In the same
place after a few days. Thus a
large portion of the surface Is
never worked.
If the trucks can drive s*tf to
(he edge of the lake, the salt is
sacked and weighed at these piles.
However, there are times when
the sand Is very soft and the salt
lias to be hauled farther out for
them. When this Is necessary, bur-
ros are used to pull It out to hard
ground. From these deposits, the
