There is a salt river in Australia, and another in the Rio Salado, in the Argentine republic in South America, The Athabasca river of Canada has two important salt branches, one of which rises In a natural salt spring, and the other his its source in the Caribou moun. tains, which contain vast deposits of galt rock. Andther salt river, having its origin In a similar formation, is one of the tributaries of the Great Slave river.
