These pictures made before 1898 'probably at same time as Thompson made picture of entire plant'--also shown in this collection.

Middle scene is in cooper shop. 'All salt at that time was shipped in barrels.' Lower left scene shows barrels of salt on platform ready to lower down incline to load on barges.
