They first started mining salt around here to make salt peter, which is used to make gunpowder. There was a Confederate munitions plant around here.
First thing that struck me was, “this is a ginormous sinkhole just waiting to happen.”
Cool info. Looks like we’ll never run out of the most valuable thing since water. Thanks
Seems like a solid company.
At least they haven’t had any bad news hit the press lately, unlike poor Cargill.
I hear the guys that work there are the salt of the earth.
This is one of the old FR postings that started my search.
I was looking for an update on the Cargill mine collapse on Avery Island. A FR search brought up lots of articles from the past, but the Cleveland salt mine was not posted yet.
I didn’t see much of an update on the Wieliczka salt mine from the last time, so I started with this mine.
Trying to find non-political postings, and things of interest to new FReepers young and old.
Salty air is very healthy for the lungs.
There are even underground hospitals in old salt mines.
Working salt mines is a great job.
My friend from Michigan said it is a cool place. He been in the salt mine 7nder Detroit.
There’s a salt mine under Detroit too.....
Not in the least!
Makes it a booger trying to drill for a well up there.
Go to deep and you get to pay for a hole that drilled into salt.
I had no idea fresh water lakes hid massive amounts of salt.
Thank you!

T post. I was down in the one under Detroit when I was young. My dad’s brother (RIP both) worked in the mine. The shaft was nearing Oakwood St. on the left while traveling northbound on Ft. Street. I remember huge trucks moving about. Another world underground.
The propagandists just can't help themselves.
“When it collapses, Lake Erie and other Great Lakes will be severely impacted.”
Do you know something they don’t know?

Cargill is actually America’s oldest and largest privately-owned company - the Macmillan and Cargill families. Founded 1865
they now have several hundred heirs, and how they keep them organized and quiet and relatively scandal free would be an interesting story in itself.
Still reportedly 88% owned by the extended original family, but with enough close involvement with China to have been accused of being under effective Chinese control.
Fascinating. Thanks for posting.
