Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit: California Development Company, Appellant, Vs; New Liverpool Salt Company, Appellee; Brief on Behalf of Appellant
The waters of the Colorado river, and doubtless waters from other sources had, in the latter part of 1904, begun to form in the Salton Sink, and what is now known as the Salton lake or sea, and continued to rise until it finally overwhelmed the New Liverpool Salt Company's property, destroyed the buildings and ma chinery, and a large amount of salt which had been gathered.
At the time the suit was brought, the destruction was not complete, but the waters continued to rise during the whole of the years loos-and 1906, and eventually submerged and destroyed the entire plant.
