An officer of the u S. Dragons, writ
ing 10 The New Orleans Tropic an ac-
count of the incidents Of an expedition
across the prairies, makes mention of a
vast plain, miles in extent, and level as
table, entirely covered with thick cake
Of salt, which shone in the sun like vast
mirror. Little pools were found on the
plain strongly impregnated with salt, and
very offensive to the taste.
