To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Tests for potash were also made on the icelike material of the mirabilite bed itself and on the loose gypsum from South Lake, the southern extremity of the old lake bed or sink. The latter sample contained a trace of potash, the former none at all. These tested materials occupy the lowest portions of the present playa, where potash would accumulate if at all. Its absence is nearly conclusive proof that it is present nowhere on or near the surface of the basin. The complete results of the study ...of the historical geology can not be given here. It will suffice to say that the basin has shared the history of most of the other undrained basins of North America in that it is deeply filled with the debris of the surrounding mountains, and has been, at several tunes during the Quaternary and perhaps the Tertiaiy periods, the home of a fluctuating undrained lake. In the long series of expansions and contractions of this lake, entailed by its climatic vicissitudes, it probably often suffered complete or nearly complete desiccation, and each of these periods of desiccation must have been marked by the deposition on the lake bottom of all or part of the salts which it contained.
