"I broke happiness with a celebration of the Saint,
Also there is neither melancholy nor a reproach,
Every night so clearly I am dreamed
Big night lakes"

Zhaksy Kylysh is in 22 kilometers to the east from the city of Aralsk. From the North the lake is limited to the ridge Zhaksy Kylysh, with the maximum heights to 149 meters above sea level (Zhaksy Kylysh hillock).
In the east of the lake there are Priaralskiy Kara-Kum sands. Salty water in the lake is the brine, composition of water which to maximum is filled with salt, thickness of a bedding of salt layers from 1 to 2 meters. The first developments of Aral of salt lakes, this beginning to formation of the Aral salt industrial complex, began in 1913.
In 1925 on the basis of Zhaksy Kylysh of salt lakes the artel on extraction of salt was created, became a basis of today's enterprise. In 1927 under the resolution of the Soviet government the enterprise was  given the status state, and it began to be called "Salt trust".
Such name remained in memory of many residents of the settlement of Zhaksy Kylysh and the Aral district. Salt is extracted by means of the special combine on salt lakes of times in two years and are delivered to plant in railway cars.
Seasons of extraction of salt begin in May. For one season raw material inventories which are enough prior to the beginning of the next season are got. As a result all the year round in the yard of the enterprise there is a huge mountain of salt.
