salt <==Original answer
I think this answer is off by many orders of magnitude.
A cubic mile of seawater is 10^13 pounds of seawater.
If seawater is 3.5% solids after evaporation, and most of that is salt, (call it 3%) then there is:
3 x 10^12 lbs of salt in a cubic mile. That is roughly 1.5 e9 tons of salt.
A cubic mile of seawater contains 5 tons of Uranium. You can use that as a reference point when thinking about the ocean.
50 pounds of salt would be enough salt to create about 1666 pounds of seawater. At 62.4 lbs/cubic foot, that would be 26.7 cubic feet of seawater. That is about 10% of a standard swimming pool.
Even if only 30% of the solids in seawater are only salt, this is way, way off.
There should be about 35 kilograms, or 77 pounds of U-235, the isotope used for making bombs in a cubic mile of seawater.

Does a cubic mile of sea water contain only water?
No, a cubic mile of seawater does not only contain water. In addition to approximately 1.1 trillion (1,101,117,150,000) US gallons of water there would be several kilograms of sea salt. It would also include several tons of fish and other animals, and several tons of algae and water plants.
How many cubic metres in a cubic mile?

Is a cubic mile bigger than a cubic decimeter?
Yes, a cubic mile is significantly larger than a cubic decimeter. A cubic mile is equivalent to approximately 4.168 billion cubic meters, while a cubic decimeter is equal to one-thousandth of a cubic meter. Therefore, a cubic mile is 4.168 trillion times larger than a cubic decimeter.
What is a cubic mile?
A cubic mile is a unit of volume that represents the amount of space occupied by a cube with sides that are each 1 mile in length. It is equal to approximately 4.17 billion cubic meters or 147.2 billion cubic feet.
How much does sea water weigh per cubic kilometer?
I once had a book about the ocean that claimed that there was 38 pounds of gold in one cubic mile of seawater. You could figure 1 cubic kilometer from here but you are still left with the validity of the claim of the book and even worse, my memory of that book. Still, something to play with.
How much gold is in a cubic mile of seawater?
A cubic mile of seawater contains approximately 0.004 parts per million of gold, which translates to about 0.000006 grams of gold per liter. Given that there are about 4.2 billion liters in a cubic mile, this results in roughly 7,000 grams, or about 15.4 pounds, of gold in a cubic mile of seawater. However, extracting this gold is currently not economically viable due to the low concentration.

How many cubic yards are there in one mile?
I am afraid that the question as stated does not make sense. A mile is a linear measurement. Cubic yards is a three dimensional measurement, unless, of course, you mean how many cubic yeards in a cubic mile, then 1 cubic mile is equal to 5,451,776.000 cubic yards.
