 (A few miniitrs ride from Salt Lake City) 
 
 Under the Management of the 
 PACIFIC HOTEL COMPANY. 
 
 Among the Chief Features of this New Resort are 
 
 A Mag:nificeiit Pavilion, (Dimensions, 1G5 by 05 feet), 
 built over the water 400 feet from the shore (appioached by a 
 covered pier over 300 feet in lenulh), with a tower in tlie centre 
 overlooking the lake on all sides, thus affording a picturesque 
 view of bathers and the surrounding mountain scenery. 
 
 A Graucl Concert will be given in the Pavilion every 
 afternoon during the season by a first-class orchestra of talented 
 soloists. 
 
 Elegant Dressing' Rooms, each provided with a sta- 
 tionary wash-stand, shower bath for rinsing off the salt water of 
 the Lake, mirror, and every comfort and convenience for bathers 
 suggested by long experience, are located on the shore of the 
 Lake, where polite male and female employes will be in constant 
 attendance. 
 
 Bathing: Snits for ladies, gentlemen and children may be 
 had on application. 
 
 A Handsome Station Building', (Dimensions, 350 by 
 50 feet), of the latest improved design, with high tower in the 
 centre, from which a view may be had on a clear day of promi- 
 nent mountain ranges over 100 miles distant. 
 
 The Saloon, located in the station building, is equipped 
 with all the appoinments ol a first-class establishment, where 
 the choicest brands of liquors and cigars will be dispensed by 
 polite attaches 
 
 The Bestaurant and Lunch Stand will present a bill 
 of fare equal to any first-class hotel in the West at moderate 
 prices. 
 
 The Bathing' Grounds.— This is the only bathing resort 
 on the entire lake shore having a clean sandy beach, free from 
 mud, rocks and offensive vegetable matter. Ladies and children 
 may bathe here with perfect safety, owing to the density of the 
 water being so great that one may float upon the surface without 
 an effort. 
 
 An additional attractiun of this delightful resort is " Tlie 
 Giant's Cave," (only a sliort distance from the beach;, an 
 opening extending over 300 feet ii\to the mountain side, with a 
 ceiling ranging in heighth from 10 to 75 feet. 
 
 Trains run at frequent intervals during the day.

 ITHIN the memory of the present gen- 
 eration the map of North America 
 represented the region now covered 
 l)y the Territories of LTtali, Wyom- 
 ing, Arizona, the State of Nevada 
 and the western ])art of Colorado, as 
 the (xrcat American Desert. In fact> 
 nntil tlie exjilorations of Bonneville 
 and F'remont, little if anything was 
 known of its character. As early as 1833, Captain Bon- 
 neville had trappers on Green lliver — a tribntary of the 
 Colorado — and in July of that year he sent a j)arty from 
 that point westward, to explore this v;ist region. Passing 
 down what is now called Ogden River, they discovered tlie 
 Great Salt Lake. Colonel Fremont came atler\\'ards, in 
 1842, and remained exploring in and around the Great 
 Desert until 1846, but save for these travelers, the country 
 was visited only by trappers and hunters. The advent of 
 civilization into the Great American Desert was on the 
 arrival of the Mormon Pioneers, after their exodus from 
 Nauvoo, in Illinois. On the 21st of July, 1847, Orson 
 Pratt, Erastus Snow and George A. Smith, a(H'onipanied 
 by six or seven others, the avant couriers of the main body, 
 rode into Great Salt Lake Valley, to a point west of the 
 mouth of the canyon then called "The (Joldcn Pass," and 
 now known as Parley's Canyon. They found the moun- 
 tain streams pure, springs abundant, and luxuriant grass 
 covering the river bottoms, but the dryer places were in- 
 fested with large crickets; they also dis<;overed sortie sul- 
 phur springs, and were impressed with the idea that the soil 
 generally was unfit for cultivation. This they had been 
 led to expect, its the opinion of the trappers who had vis- 
 ited this region, wa.s, that the coiuitry was unfitted for 
 agriculture. Colonel Bridger, himself an old trapjier and 
 mountaineer, is credited with having oftertxl a thousuid 
 dollars for the first bushel of grain or ear of corn raised in 
 the Valley of the Gresit Salt Lake. Major Harris, also 
 an old traveler in Oregon and California, spoke unfavor- 
 ably of the oountry as a ])la(« for settlement. Until lately, 
 the historian has done but little either in examining into 
 
 or describing the history of Salt Lake City — why, is con- 
 jectural. For it is a history replete with early adventures 
 of Indian depredations, of privations, suffering and of 
 marvellous success. A tale of men with hearts of oak 
 and nerves of steel, who were truly pioneers — who itkuIc 
 roads, leveled canyons, built bridges, and brought seem- 
 ing improbabilities within the range of possibility. On 
 the 24th of July, 1847, the main body of Mormons, mim- 
 bering about 14.'5 men, arrive<l in the valley, with Presi- 
 dent Brigham Young at their head. Plowing and planting 
 inuuediatel}' began. The very dry ground was irrigad'd 
 by damming up one of the creeks, a trench being dug from 
 it to the land designed to be watered. During tlie night 
 the whole tract desired to be cultivated, was irrigated. 
 Thus began in Utah the system of irrigation to which 
 the wealth, the beauty and the habitability of Utah is due 
 almost wholly to-day. It has been the s;ilvatit)n, tin; very 
 making of the Territory. S<j Salt Lake City — the half- 
 way house of California, the oasis, the rest midst the 
 desert, the embryo empire of the intermountain region was 
 founded. About a week after the arrival of this ]>arty — the 
 main body of the pioneers — a detachment of the Mormnn 
 Battalion — arrived, with some others, thus increasing the 
 number in the camp tx) aI)out 400. Within a month after tiieir 
 arrival the colonists had laid out a fort, built twenty-seven log 
 houses, ])lowed eighty-four acres and j)lanted them with corn, 
 potatoes, bctans, buckwheat, turnips, etc., and had manufiic- 
 tured 125 bushels of salt. The new settlement was called 
 the "City of the Gretit Salt Lake" or "Great Salt Lake 
 City," as it soon became named. In the month of June, 
 1848, the fields were invadetl by the crickets, which came 
 from the mountains in vast numbers and steadily advanc- 
 ing on the growing crops, began to devour them. The 
 peoj)le were powerless against this enemy, and it appearcsl 
 as though starvation was inevitable, when, to their great 
 relief", ])erhaps half the cro])s were saved by an immense Hock 
 of sea gulls which suddeidy appeareil upon the scene, and 
 ravenously devoured tiie crickets. These gulls are su|)- 
 posed to have come from the Gulf of California. \\'ithin 
 a year the po))ulation had increase<l to abotit se\-entcen 
 hundred, 450 buildings had been erected, thret^ saw mills 
 and a flouring mill. During the winter of fiiis year tiic 
 
mercury is;recM)rded as having gone as low as thirty-three 
 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. A faint idea of the 
 scarcity of provisions in !the settlement may be gained 
 from the fact that a peck of potatoes sold for five dollars, and 
 was considered cheap. The first post office in the city was 
 opened in March, with Joseph L. Heywood as postmaster. 
 In the months of Mayor June, 1849, parties from the 
 east, e)i route for the California gold mines, first arrived, they 
 brought with them all kinds of merchandise, wagons, tools 
 and farming implements, which they gladly disposed of at 
 a cheap rate in exchange for provisions. During the 
 Spring and Summer a State Constitution was adopted, and 
 A. W. Babbit, Esq., sent as Delegate to Congress, asking 
 for admission into the Union. A year later, Captain 
 
 in defending their homes from the depredations of Ute Indi- 
 ans. A battle was fought close by what is now calletl 
 Provo, in which several were lulled on both sides. ' There 
 wa.s, from this time on, for several years, a recurrence of 
 these Indian troubles, so much so that Governor Brigham 
 Young issued a proclamation ordering the Territ<5rial 
 Militia to be kept in constant readiness for marching 
 against the Red Men. In all the Indian ^^'ars the people 
 of this city were called upon to contribute t<:) those needing 
 it, by both men and means. In June, 1850, the De.seret 
 News was published ; the issue was a very small-sized 
 paper at first, and appeared semi-occasionally, sometimea 
 on wrapping paper, on account of the then great distance 
 from supplies — being " a thousand miles from any- 
 
 Stansbury, who had been for some time engaged in a tojjo- 
 graphical survey of the Great Salt Lake, completed his 
 cxi)lorations. Parties had already commenced to branch 
 out fioJi Great Salt Lake City, and settle what are now 
 Davis, Weber, Utah, Tooele, Juab and San|)cte Counties. 
 In I)eccinl)er of this year the first Sunday School was 
 establL-ihed. In consequence of the scanty harvests bread- 
 stuffs and other provisions became very s(-;u'ce, and many 
 people were compelled to eat ra\v hides, anil dig segos and 
 thistle roots to sustain life. Much suffering was a\oidcd, 
 however, by those who had provisions, generously but of 
 course sparingly, dividing with those less fortunate. The 
 Indians from the first wore annoying ami troublesome, and 
 in February, 1850, the colonists generally were cidletl on 
 to assist the handful of pioneers settletl in Utiih County, 
 
 where." On January 11, 1851, Grejit Salt Lake City 
 was incorporatal, with Jcdediah M. Grant as Mayor, 
 and in February, Brigham Young took the oath ol 
 ofiice as the first Governor of Utah Te/ritory. During 
 the Spring school houses were built in mo.st of the wards. 
 There were now about 30,000 inhabifcuits in Utah 
 Territory, of which nearly 5,000 were residents of 
 this city. The Great Salt Lake, which now h:us a world 
 wide reputation, was at that early periixl, recognized as a 
 health resort, and on the 4th of Jtdy, the inhabitants of 
 the city celebrated the Nation's birthday by an cxeui-sion 
 to Black Rock and a bathe in the briny waves. On 
 September 22, tiic fii-st Legislature of Utah Territory con- 
 vened in Great Salt Lake City, and in November the Uni-

 finisiied. The first company of European immigrants, witii 
 thirty-one wagons, arrived (hiring the year. On the 6th 
 day of ^ipril, 1853, the corner stones of the Temple were 
 laid, and in August it was decided to build a "Spanish" 
 wall of nuid, twelve feet high, six feet at base, around the 
 city, as a protection against the Indians. It was nine miles 
 in length, and portions of it remain to this day. The 
 ])ojiulation in October of this year was 6,000 souls. In 
 January, 1 854, a mass meeting was held to memorialise 
 Congress to construct a National Railroad from the Mis- 
 souri River, via the South Pass and Great Salt Lake City, 
 to the Tacifie Coa.st. During the Fall of this year, the first 
 immigrants from Switzerland, Italy and Australia arrived. 
 In 1855 scttlei-s had reached out as far as Salmon River, 
 Idaho, and the southern part of Utah Territory. During 
 the Summer grasshoppers did serious damage to the crops, 
 dc-Jtroying nearly everything green in many parts of the 
 Territory. The loss was aggravatefl by drouth, the eom- 
 bine<l evils causing a great failure in crops. A large num- 
 ber of Mormon missionaries left Great Salt Ijake City for the 
 Ea.stern States and Europe, and the Horticultural Society, 
 and a number of other societies, were organizetl during this 
 year. In the early part of 1856 there was a great scarci- 
 ty of provisions and many domestic animals died of starv- 
 ation. For months some families knew not the taste of 
 bread — bran and shorts being considered luxuries. Small- 
 pox was brought into the valley in July by immigrants 
 from Mississijipi. The first fire department was organized 
 in October. On account of the ejirly winter, some com- 
 panies of immigrants, crossing the plains with hand-carts, 
 were overtaken in the mountains by snow storms and se- 
 verely cold weather. Word was brought that they were 
 perishing in the mountains and the people innuediately 
 went to their rescue with men and provisions, but not 
 before many of the immigrants had died from want and ex- 
 posure. This winter was excessively severe, snow falling 
 to a depth of eight feet in various parts of the valley. 
 Tlie harvest of 1857 was the best Utah had had up to 
 tliat time. During this fall the "Utah Army" was sent, 
 under Colonel A. S. Johnston, to settle difficulties which 
 were reported by Judge Drummond, AV. F. Magraw and 
 otiicrs, to have grown up between the Territorial Officers, 
 the Federal Officials and the Government. In March, 1858, 
 the citizens of Great Salt Lake City and the settlements 
 north of it, agreed to abandon their homes and "go south," 
 being under the impression that the approaching army 
 was sent to destroy them. By the month of June, Gov- 
 ernor Gumming and the {x^ce commissioners having 
 arrival and investigated matters, the difficulties were peace- 
 ably adjusted, President Buchanan issuing a proclamation 
 of jiardon. The army passed through Great Salt Lake 
 City, locating at Camp Floyd, about forty miles south- 
 west, and the people returned to their deserted homes and 
 resumed their accustomed labors. In Novend)er, 1858, 
 the Vidley Twn newspaper matlc its appearance. In 1859, 
 
 the first number of the MounUiine-er was published. April 7, 
 1860, the first pony express from the West arrival, and on the 
 9th the first frt)m the east; four days from Sacramento 
 and six days from St. Joseph, Mo. In July, 1861, 
 General Johnston with the army, was orderal to the States 
 on account of the breaking out of the Civil War, and the 
 equipments and jirovisions of the Unital States army in 
 Utah were disi)osed of at auction. It was estimatwl that 
 §4,000,000 worth of goods were sold for §100,000. In 
 October connection was made with the outside world by a 
 t«legrai)h line. In the Spring of 1862, the Theatre, a 
 building 175 feet long, 80 feet wide, and GO feet from flo(ir 
 to ceiling, seating comfortably 1,700 people — one of the 
 best theatres in the Union — w;is completed and oj)ened to 
 the public. During the siune Spring the Indians in the 
 neighborhood of Fort Bridger, having destroyed the nuu"l 
 stations, coaches and mail bags, and killed the stage driv- 
 ers, President Lincoln called for a company of Cavalry, 
 and in April, Lot Smith's coni])any of 100 men was mus- 
 tered into service by Chief Justice Kinney, and left the 
 city to protect the mail route. The expalition was a very 
 hazardous and toilsome one. Colonel P. E. Connor with 
 the California Volunteers, arrived on October 20, and 
 located at Camp Douglas, the present site of Fort Douglas. 
 The immigration this year numberal over 5,000 people, 
 all coming by teams and wagons. Settlers from this city 
 and other places having located in what are termed the 
 southern settlements, raised about 100,000 pounds of cot- 
 ton this year. In January, 1863, Colonel Connor with 
 some 200 troops, defeated a band of 400 Shoshone 
 Indians in a ravine, near Bear River, in which fourteen 
 soldiers were killal and forty-nine more woundal, and 224 
 Indians were killed; they also had other engagements with 
 Indians near Cedar Fort, Spanish Fork and Pleasant 
 Grove. The Indians were also fpiite hostile on the mail 
 route west of Salt Lake. In September a woolen flietory 
 on Canyon Creek, in Salt Lake County, was put in ojieni- 
 tion. In November, Colonel Coiuior iss\ial a circular 
 giving a permit to the soldiers to prospect for mines, he 
 having evidence that the Territory possessal rich veins of 
 gold, silver and other minerals. The Daily Mdvttc was first 
 issual this month. In July, 1864, the Daily Telegraph 
 was published by T. B. 11. Stenhouse, and the Peep o' 
 Day made its apiicaranee. Speaker Colfax, Governor 
 Bross, accomjianied by the City Council and some 
 leading merchants, drove over to Great Salt Lake. 
 During this year, several of the jiromincnt men of the city 
 made an efibrt to establish a landing on the Colorado River, 
 near the southern border of the Territory, known as Call- 
 ville, through which it was hojied an easy avenue for the 
 marketing of the products of the Territory would be found, 
 as there was no conuunnication with the outside nuu-kcts 
 by either railroad or water, at that date. In this year, also, 
 the first mining <listricts were loratal, the fir>* mining com- 
 ])anies incorporated, and the first smelting furnaces built, 
 they being created about seven miles south of the city. In 
 July, 1867, myriads of grasshoppers appcan<l and did 
 
great damage to the crops, devasting every green field in 
 Salt Lake Valley within twenty-four hours afler their 
 appearance. On October 6, the large Tabernacle was com- 
 pleted ; this structure is 250 feet long, 1 50 feet wide, and 
 its immense roof is arched without a pillar ; the estimated 
 seating capacity is 1 0,000. Duri ng the next year, the citizens 
 commenced an organized warfare against grasshoppers, 
 whose numbers, voracity and destructiveness were appalling. 
 The Indian troubles were now mostly ended, Colonel Irish 
 and Colonel Head Iiaving had many big talks and made 
 treaties with the different bands. This year, Zion's Co- 
 operative Mercantile Institution commenced operations ; 
 the institution now occupies a four-story building includ- 
 i ng basement, having a frontage of ninety-eight feet and a 
 depth of 319 feet, on the Main Street. It has branch 
 liouses in Provo, Ogden and Logan, Utah, and at Soda 
 Springs, Idaho. Its stock in tratle averages over a million 
 dollars. In May, 1869, a banking concern, which has 
 grown into the present Deseret National Bank, commenced 
 business. The University of Deseret was opened. The 
 first shipment of Utah ore to California was made by 
 Woodhull Brothers from Little Cottonwood to T. H. Selby 
 of San Francisco. In October, a mass meeting was held 
 with a view of again appealing to Congress to have Utali 
 admitted as a State. The Utah Magazine, which had been 
 published since January, 1868, under the editorial charge 
 of E. L. T. Harrison, merged into the Mormon Tribune, 
 from which has grown the Daily Ti-ibune, now published 
 here, one of the largest daily pajiers between Chicago and 
 San Francisco. On January 10, 1870, the last rail of the 
 Utah Central Railroad was laid and the last spike driven 
 by Brigham Young in the presence of 15,000 jieople. This 
 was the inauguration of a new era in the growth and com- 
 merce of the city. Hitherto, all importations had to be 
 freighted a thousand miles by ox or mule teams and all 
 the settlers had to tramp this weary road over vast and 
 arid plains and toilsome mountains. Honorable W. H. 
 Hoojjer made his famous "j)lea for religious liberty," in 
 behalf of the Mormon people, in the House of Represen- 
 tatives at Washington. The Liberal j)arty was organized 
 and the Female Suffrage Bill was passed. In June, the 
 J)ai/y Herald was first issued by E. Jj. Sloan, W. C. 
 Dunbar and John T. Caine, the former of tliese gentlemen 
 <lying in the year 1874. The pajier has been under the 
 <'ditorial care of Mr. Byron Groo most of the time since. 
 Mr. W. S. Godbe became somewhat prominent for his efforts 
 with President Grant, in modifying the j)olicy projected by 
 Vice-President Colfax and Governor Shaffer of forcing a 
 rupture with the Mormon leaders. In September, 1871, 
 the corner stone of the Catholic Church, an unimposing 
 brick building in the heart of the city, wiis laid, the mis- 
 sion Ijeing under the care of the Reverend Father Scanlan, 
 now the liishop of the Dioc&se of Utah. In November, 
 the corner stone of the Methodist Episcopal Church was 
 laiil. It is one of the most commanding buildings, in size 
 and architectural appearand, in the city, — a brick structure 
 <if modern style. In 1872, the Salt I^ake City Street 
 
 Railway Company wa.s organized. In the Spring of this 
 year, Thomas Fitch, George Q. Cannon and Frank Fuller 
 lefl for Washington, a,s delegates to Congress, to present 
 the claims of the proposed State of Deseret. In September, 
 General Morrow made another treaty of peace with the 
 Indians. In October, a delegation of Ute Indians, accom- 
 panied by Doctor Dodge, left for Washington, where they 
 had an interview with President Grant. In November, 
 the Gcrmania Smelting and Refining Work.s — the first of 
 the kind in Utah — cijuimenced operations. In May, 1874, 
 Sf. Mark's Cathedral was consecrated. It is a fine struc- 
 ture, built of stone, having a handsome auditorium, with 
 a basement which is usetl for Sabbath and day schools, and 
 in October the Presbyterian Church was dedicated. In 
 January, 1875, the Utah Western, now the Utah and 
 Nevada Railway, was opened for traffic to Black Rock, a 
 bathing resort on the shores of the Great Salt I^ake. In 
 March, the trial of George Reynolds was commenced in 
 the Third District Court, the jury bringing in a verdict of 
 guilty. This wa.s a case agreed upon to test the constitu- 
 tionality of the law passed by Congress, in 1862, against 
 polygamy. It was, in the month of January, 1879, de- 
 cided by the United States Supreme Court at Washington, 
 the Court unanimously confirming the constitutionality of 
 the Anti-Polygamy Act. In October, President Grant 
 visited Salt Lake City and held a public reception in the 
 Walker House ; before leaving, he honored the late Hon- 
 orable William Jennings by a personal visit at the Devereux 
 House. In Aj)ril, 1876, forty tons of powder, in magazine-s 
 immediatel)' north of the city, exploded, resulting in the 
 loss of four lives and great destruction of property. Dom 
 Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, arrived on a visit, also Earl 
 Dufferin, Governor-General of Canada. In June, a sudden 
 melting of the snow in the mountains caused heavy floods. 
 The Bihuben, a newspaper in the Danish language, was 
 published. Brigham Young, the founder of Salt Lake 
 City, and, in fact, of Utah, after an eventful life, died at 
 his residence on the 29th of August, 1877. In September i 
 of the same year, the corner stone of the Assembly Hall, | 
 the projection of which we might truthfully say wa.s the 
 last jjublic act of Brigham Young's life, was laid. The 
 design is inii(pie and it is one of the attractions of the city, 
 the ceiling being ]>ainted with pictures representing events 
 in the C-hurch history and showing paintings of the several 
 Mormon temples. In the month of April, 1879, the first 
 Utah wheat was shi])petl to Liverpool, San Francisco, 
 by S. W. Sears, and in May, 1880, the corner stone 
 of St. Paul's Chajiel Mere laid, a stone structure, built 
 and owned by the Episcopal Church, its design and sur- 
 roundings being very attractive. In September, President 
 Hayes and party visited Salt Lake ; and in December, the 
 Utah Eastern Railway was constructed from Coalville to 
 Park City, principally by Salt Lake capital. After the 
 death of Brigham Young the Twelve Apostles had con- 
 trolled the affairs of the dominant church, but in October , 
 John Taylor was elected President, with Greorge Q. I 
 Cannon and Joseph F. Smith as counsellors. In August,

1881, the comer stones of the AValker Opera House were 
 laid. The building was startetl as the Academy uf Music, 
 under the auspices of the McKenzie Temperance Reform 
 Club, but subsef|uently fell into the hands of the Walker 
 Brothers; it is 165 feet long, 67 fe<'t wide, and 60 feet 
 from floor to ceiling, — a pleasing building on the exterior, 
 with a very tasteful front ; the interior is highly ornamentotl ; 
 it cost §130,000. In the fall of 1882, the noted political 
 campaign took place in which Honorable John T. C'aine, 
 of the People's Party, and Judge P. T. Van Zile, of the 
 Lil)cral Party, made a tour of nearly the whole Territory, 
 delivering stumj) speeches. In June of this year. Liberty 
 Park, previously known as Locust Grove, having been 
 purchased by the City Corjioration, was formally o])ened 
 to the public; the Park contains 120 acres, and is being 
 rapidlv imjirovt^l. March, 188."}, saw the Denver and Rio 
 (rrandc Railway complete<l between Salt Lake and Denver; 
 giving a new field for our enterprising merchants, and 
 ()])ening another avenue for a business, of which this ])lacc 
 gets the larger share. In 1885, the Democrat was issued, 
 and the Democracy ran a party ticket for the Territorial 
 election in the fall of the same year. The Union National 
 Bank, the outgroMi:h of the banking house of Walker 
 Brothers, was organized ; it has the largest safe deposit 
 vaults between Chicago and San Francisco. 
 
 Salt Lake City lies in the northeastern corner of a 
 splendid valley — a valley bounded on the east by the 
 Wasatch Range, perhaps the most striking and magnificent in 
 the whole Rocky Mountain chain ; and on the west, partially 
 by the Oquirrh Range, which terminates on the north by 
 fringing the American Dead Sea, and runs but a limited 
 distance south. From the northern extremity of the 
 Oquirrh Range, Great Salt Lake forms the boundary line 
 until connection is made with another valley still farther 
 north, for the Rocky chain is a succession of grand moun- 
 tains, gorgeous canyons and fair and lovely valleys. The 
 city rests almost on the ba.se of the Wasatch Range — rather 
 on a gentle slope from it, leaning to the south and south- 
 west. Thus, it enjoys a most desirable exposure in the 
 directions mentioned, and is also protected from harsh 
 northern and eastern winds by the grand and towering 
 background which the Wasatch Range forms. Fringing 
 the western limit of the city, and winding its measured 
 way through a large portion of the valley — like a silver 
 thread as seen from some o'erviewing eminence, until it is 
 lost in the Great I^ake, is the Jordan River, a stream 
 that gives beauty and wealth to many parts of the valley 
 through irrigation channels. The city is fed with water 
 from numerous mountain streams, clear and ])ure. These 
 are divided ag-ain and again. Running through the city 
 in every direction, conjoining everywhere, and again separ- 
 ating, forming an infinitude of small water ways along 
 either side of all streets, so that one never loses sight of 
 them, they give an air of freshness, of sweetness and of 
 purity that lends to the surroundings a charm captivating 
 and irresistible. These are useful for irrigation, they are 
 ornamental for giving life to the trees planted at regular 
 
 distances along their courses, which afford a grateful .shade 
 in Summer by their dense foliage, and enrich the air with 
 their perfumes. These streams carry health, wealth and 
 perennial delight to citizen and visitf)r in their cf)nstant 
 flow. Irrigation in the city is jnaterially aided by means 
 of a canal some twenty-one miles long, which taj)s Utah 
 Lake, a fresh water re.servoir in a valley to the south, and 
 brings a large body of water to the city at a time when it 
 is of very great value. The Sununer rains are uncertain; 
 they cannot be relied upon for the fostering of agriculture, 
 a difficulty common to all higher altitudes, but which 
 nature has made a blessing here by the vast accumulation of 
 snow in the mountain fastnc^sses that render irrigation jios- 
 .sible, and give an assurance of returns to the farmer which 
 is not enjoyed even in countries where the rainfall is most 
 trustworthy. All that fills the eye with gladness, all that 
 has ble.s.sed honest toil in this now beautiful and bountifid 
 land, all that has made homes, waving fields, thriving 
 orchards, growing cities, all that gives to the heart tliat 
 pure sense of happy cast, the consciousness of ineffable charms 
 produced by untiring toil — all that in this country attracts 
 the stranger, and he who would find acpiiet and prosjierous 
 home in this region — all, all is due to the .■^la.sm's snows, 
 to the mountain fiistnes.ses where it lies bedded till a Sum- 
 mer s sun gradually dis.solves it, till it finds its way to 
 mountain streams which, pouring into the valleys, are led 
 by a thousand arteries (the result of honest toil) over the 
 thirsty land, till they bless and gladden it as they do the 
 eyes and the hearts of all who behold its results. Coupled 
 with human exertion and the intellect and skill of man, it 
 is the savior, the maker of all that is best in this goodly 
 land. The site of Salt Lake City is one of great natural 
 beauty, growing and building in a valley of unsurpa.ssed 
 productiveness. The soil, containing an abundance of the 
 most precious elements of fertility, is rich and deep and 
 rests on a substratum of clay. Surrounding all are the 
 eternal mountains, lifting their linge heads into the azure 
 bosom, their summits crowned even in midsummer, with 
 snows as eternal as themselves. Seen in the Fall of the 
 year, when the rugged mountain steeps are pur})le, yellow 
 and crimson, when they burn with the scarlet of frostbitten 
 leaves and vegetation nippwl by the early frosts, when up 
 from the midst of embowering trees rises the smoke of 
 quiet and peaceful settlements that follow the mountain 
 contour, when the green of meadow and the rich golden 
 hue of ripening harvests, like a mantle of gold and silver, 
 shinuner beneath the rays of an unclouded sky, then indeed 
 come thoughts or memories of the splendors of Alpine 
 regions, compared with which even these scenes do not 
 ])alc nor fear comparison. The city stretches along the 
 sloping plateau for a distance of about three miles east and 
 west and two miles nortii and south. The southern and west- 
 ern part.s — and they arr tii(! larger — are laid off into blocks 
 of ten acres each, with streets 1.32 fwt wide, rumn'ng at 
 right angles. The north-ea.stern part is divided into blocks 
 of five acres each, with .streets eighty feet wide. Encircling 
 the business portion of the town are the residences 
 
of citizens, surrounded by gardens, embowered in orchards 
 and magnificent shade trees, and traversed by the living 
 streams of wat«r which render the atmosphere pure, one is 
 led to view the Home of the Saints as the Garden of the 
 Gods. Each street presents the appearance of a long ave- 
 nue of poplar, locust, box elder, catalpa and other orna- 
 mental shade trees, often hiding with their foliage the 
 outlines of some cottage, or the more pretentious 
 and imposing architecture of a mansion. The ac- 
 companying views of Salt Lake City give an idea 
 of its general appearance. On the ea.st, at the foot of 
 the Wa.satch Mountains, lies Fort Douglas, two miles from 
 the city, one of the most solidly constructed and well kept 
 and beautiful forts of the Union. On the west are the 
 depots of the Utah Central, Utah and Nevatla, and Den- 
 ver and Rio Grande Railroads. On the north are City 
 Creek and the far famed Hot and Warm Sulphur Springs. 
 The Great Salt Lake is visible from the city, and across it 
 are frequently seen the most remarkable sunsets, unrivalled 
 in any part of the world. Though showing well the 
 extent and general character of the tt)wn, they do but faint 
 justice, as far as the business blocks and residences are 
 concerned. The various causes that have combined to 
 render this a place of commercial importance, are the facts 
 tliat it is a trade centre, the metropolis of the Rocky 
 Mountain region, that it is fed by the great trans-conti- 
 nental roads — the Union Pacific, Central Pacific, Denver 
 and Rio Grande Railroads and their connections; its LTni- 
 versity. Seminaries and High Schools, its Hospitals, 
 Smelters, and the surrounding country with its never fail- 
 ing agricultural products. There is no genera! market, 
 but in its place can be found, at a convenient distance from 
 almost any point, a bountiful supply of the products of 
 the Territory, and of other regions, and at prices so fair 
 that strike the new comer with amazement. Salt Lake 
 merchants are heavy exporters of cereals, tubers and 
 other protlucts to the eastern and western States, and even 
 as far as the British Isles. Clean Utah wheat and barley 
 hold first -rank in the Chicago market, and Utah potatoes 
 have no equal for size, quality and flavor combined. 
 Within thirty-six miles, on the east side, lies Park 
 City with its famous Ontario, Daly, Crescent, and other 
 extensive silver mines. The wonderful Ontario, is without 
 an equal on the globe. Its officers are : L. T. Haggin, 
 president; Wm. Willis, vice-president; and J. B. Haggin, 
 treasurer, all of San Francisco; R. C. Chambers, superin- 
 tendent. Salt Lake City. The mine was located in 1872, 
 the present company having been organized in 1876. In 
 round figures the cost of the building, foundations and 
 Cornish pump, amount to $500,000; the value of improve- 
 ments, with tunnels, $2,675,000; output to March, 
 1887, $18,000,000; amount of dividends paid to March, 
 1887, 130 in number, $8,050,000. On the west, are 
 the lead and silver mines at Bingham, Tintic and 
 Stockton, some of the Bingham mines having turned 
 out as much as a hundred and fifty thousand tons 
 of ore. On the south, are the Cottonwood mines 
 
 within a few miles, and the Horn Silver and other mines 
 at Frisco and Silver Reef. Sandy, twelve miles south, is 
 the Swansea of Utah, where are located several smelting 
 and refining works, to which arc brought the ores from the 
 mines in Utah, Idaho and Nevada. Utah now ranks third 
 of the large precious metal prwlucing States and Territories 
 of the Union. Wells, Fargo & Company's statement of 
 the mineral product of Utah, for the year 1886, places the 
 mint valuation at $10,365,044.67. Perhaps the most im- 
 jwrtant — though by no means the most accessible or desir- 
 able — iron ore deposits are in Iron County, which, when 
 reached by railroad — now only a few miles distiint^ — will 
 certainly develop a Pittsburg in the western part of the 
 continent. Professor Newberry says of these vast iron 
 fielcLs : — "The deposits of iron ore near Iron City and Iron 
 Springs, in southwestern Utah, are probably not excelled, 
 in intrinsic value, by any in the world. The ore is mag- 
 netite and hematite, and occurs in a belt fifteen or tw^enty 
 miles long and three or four miles wide, along which there 
 are frecpient out-crops, each of which shows a length and 
 breadth of several hundred feet of compact, massive ore, 
 of the richest quality. There are certainly no other such 
 deposits of iron ore west of the Mississippi, and, should it 
 be foimd practicable to use Utah coal for the manufacture 
 of pig and bar iron and steel from these ore beds, it would 
 be difficult to overestimate the influence they would have 
 on the industries of the Pacific Coast." In Juab County, 
 developments in iron deposits exhibit the most gratifv'ing 
 and astonishing results, while Tintic has for years ftirnished 
 large quantities of iron ore. A company is now organized 
 for the operation of these mines, and so far the results are 
 most gratifying. In an insignificant blast, with crude 
 facilities, 65 per cent, of iron was retluced from the ore. 
 It seems only a question of time when from these mines 
 will be supplied largely the fiirnaces at Pueblo, Colorado. 
 Besides these are large iron resources in Weber County, 
 which are now being investigated with a view to their 
 utilization. In fact, the iron resources are absolutely 
 boundless. The coal fields of L^tah are remark- 
 able for their vastness. The main supply, of the 
 Salt Lake market, is furnishe<^l from the Valley of the 
 Weber, although the Pleasant Valley and Sanpete beds are 
 formidable competitors. In Pleasant Valley, the deposits 
 are of that magnitude that the railroad cars are backed 
 into the mines and there loaded with an excellent bitumin- 
 ous coal. The coal fields of this Territory, in conjunction 
 with the Union Pacific mines in Wyoming, on the eastern 
 border of Utah, su])iily Montana, Nevada, Idaho, Wyom- 
 ing, Colorado and Nebraska, and yet the development of 
 the coal resources are at present only in their incijiieney. 
 In the year 1886, the Pleasant Valley coal bwls sujiplied 
 72,000 tons of coal ; the Weber Valley mines, 46,200 tons ; 
 and the Union Pacific mines, 7^8,986 tons. It is claimed, 
 that with projior ovens, a fiiirly good coke can be made 
 from the Pleasant Valley and Sanpete coals. Within easy 
 reach by railroad, are also rich and immense deposits of 
 antimony, sulphurs, salts, eopjjer, sandstone, limestone,

 T!io luscious fruits, the plump gmin, with the sheep and 
 stock industries, form some of our principal sonrct'-s of 
 wealth, the importance of which can no more be measural 
 than a few years ago it could be i)re<lictc<l. There is here 
 a foundation of prosperity and grentness which will grow 
 as the population and years increase. The climate and soil 
 are singularly adapted to fruit growing, trees being vigor- 
 t)us grower;* and generous bearers, while small fruits do 
 remarkably well. The following table will give an approx- 
 imate idea of the yield :

 Tliis rcinarkal)le city, having a ])opulation of nearly 
 thirty-five thous;ui(i, has many fine residencies, set back in 
 siiiootii lawns, fringed ijy parterres of flowers, shaded by 
 umbrageous foliage and bearing about them the marks and 
 indications of wealthy owners. Street-car lines diverge 
 from Main .Street through the t(jwn to all jioints of the 
 i'onij)ass. The immense quantity of sha<le and fruit trees 
 growing in the city, give it, in the Spring, the ajipearancc 
 of a flower garden — the trees being then all in blossom, 
 the pure, sparkling water flowing down the streets iu rich 
 ai)undan(re, a sight is formed that cannot be surpassetl 
 anywhere. The wide, level streets, lined on each side 
 with rows of shade trees, form elegant drives in this 
 city of magnificent ilistances, and t(jwards evening of 
 any fine day the streets are crowded with the fine 
 turnouts. The Utah Driving Park Association, in 
 their Spring and Fall ra<!es, attract the best blooded 
 stock from Montana, California and Colorado. As good 
 steppers can be found on our streets as anywiiere in the 
 I'nion. Tlu! Summers are warm and dry, the Winters 
 generally mild and open^ The average fall of snow is 
 light in the valleys and heavy in the mountains. "The 
 climate is agreeable and siilubrious, the air dry, elastic, 
 transparent and bracing, and, on the whole, is not unlike 
 tiiat of northwestern Texas and New Mexico, and is iigree- 
 able except for a month or so in Winter; and then the 
 tennx^niture seldom falls to zero, or snow to a greater depth 
 than a foot, and it soon melts away, although it sometimes 
 affords a few days' shnghing. The Spring opens in March, 
 tlie atmosphere becomes clear as a dew-<lroj), deciduous 
 trees burst intx) leafy bloom, and the green of the valleys 
 jjursues the retiring snow-line up the mountain slopes. 
 The Summer is pleasant in its onset, accompaniinl by fra- 
 grant airs and full streams. Springs of sweet water, fed 
 largely from the surface, bubble forth everywhere. But, 
 
 as the sea.son advances the heat increases, the winds become 
 la<len with dust, the storms are mainly dry, the spr":igs 
 fail or become brackish from concentration of their mineral 
 salts, the streams run low, and vegetation parches mdcss 
 artificially watered. Still, from tlie rai)id nuliation at the 
 earth's surface, the nights are agreeably cool and give 
 strength to bear the heat of the days. In Octolx-r, the air 
 clears up ag-ain as in Spring, and the landscape softens with 
 the rich colors of the dying vegetation, which reaches up 
 the mountain sides to their summits in jilaccs, but on them 
 the gorgeous picture is soon overlaid by the first snows of 
 approaching winter. The Fall is delightful and generally 
 lingers to the end of the year." The mean Summer tem- 
 perature is about seventy-four degrees at two o'clock, p. m., 
 and in the evening but fifty-seven d(>grees. Those who have 
 to swelter through many nights in a season, with the ther- 
 mometer between eighty and ninety degrees, would appre- 
 ciate this tlifference. The mean temperature, in Winter, is 
 about thirty degrees, the denizens of Saltl^ake often enjoy- 
 ing a warm sun while reading of the biting cold and pierc- 
 ing blizzards of a lower altitude. Plowing is frequently 
 done during the Winter months of Dwember and February. 
 Salt liake City is well supj)lietl with hotels — large, roomy, 
 furnished with the latest imjiroved elevators, electric lights 
 and bells, fine billiard halls, and a table at which nothing 
 in the way of eatables is lacking. The prices have a nuige 
 that suit the circumstances of every person. There are 
 published in Salt Lake City : the Deneret News, (daily, 
 semi-weekly and weekly) ; the Herald, (daily, semi-weekly 
 and weekly) ; the Tnfnine, (daily and weekly) ; the Demo- 
 crat, (daily and weekly) ; the Bikuben and the Srcmka 
 Harolden, (weekly) ; the Juvaiik Instructor and the 
 Woman's Exponent, (semi-monthly) ; the Contributor, Rocky 
 3Iountain Christian Advocate, Parry's Literary Ma(jazinc, 
 Z. C. M. I. Advocate, the Historical Becord and the Crocer, 
 (all monthly). The Frat«'rnal and Benevolent S(K-ieties arc 
 well represented, comi)rising lodges of the Masonic Order, 
 Odd l*\'llows, Knights of Pythias, Ancient Order Unitc<l 
 Workmen, Tcm])lc of Honor, Foresters, Brotherhoods of 
 Locomotive Engineers and L(K'oniotive Fiivmen, and 
 Grand Army of the Rej)ublic, the first nientionetl having 
 a magnificent library, with the Odd Fellows following 
 close in its wake. The water supply is furnished by a 
 stream flowing from City Creek Canyon, and by one from 
 Emigration Canyon, also by several flowing artesian wells 
 in the southern and western jiarts. Tin; AVater M'orks arc 
 of the gravity system — settling and filtering tanks or reser- 
 voirs, for the main part of the city, being placet! half a 
 mile up the City Creek Canyon, in the natin-al b«l of the 
 stream, the height of the hnsition of the tanks giving an 
 average pressure of seventy ])ounds t;) the inch. The 
 theoretical discharge is 1,5()() gallons per minute. Other 
 tanks or reservoii-s are placed further Uj) the creek, su|)ply- 
 ing the elevat<'d jiortions of the city on the north IxmicIi ; 
 all being finl by the natural flow of the mountain stre;mi, 
 and thus rendering the lifting pnxxiss unnecessary. The 
 Water Works System is owned by the City Corporation, 
 
and comprises sixteen and a quarter miles of mains with 
 one hundred and fifty-one fire hydrants. The Fire Depart- 
 ment consists of a chief enjrineer, two assistant engineers, 
 secretary, six foremen of companies, four engine companies, 
 hook and latlder company, and two independent companies, 
 with a membership of 145. The Department has 4,000 
 feet of hose. Salt Lake City has been peculiarly fortunate 
 in the absence of destructive fires and the Department ha.s 
 had but little to do compared with other cities of equal 
 importance. The large size of tiie blocks, and the wide 
 streets, render a sweeping conflagration almost an impossi- 
 bility. The insurance rates are low, owing to immunity 
 from extensive fires. The annual rate of taxation, is: 
 Municipal tax, five mills; County, six mills; Territorial, 
 three mills ; Special School tax, three mills ; making a total 
 of twelve mills on the dollar. The bonded debt of the 
 city is so trifling, that it is hardly worth mentioning. 
 Main Street and First and Second South Streets are lighted 
 by electricity, both by the Brush and incandescent lights. 
 The Gras Works, in which the City Corporation owns a 
 large interest, has several miles of main pipes laid, which 
 are being steadily extended. The business portion of 
 the city is covered with a net work of telephone lines, 
 M'hile telegraphic communication is had with all parts of 
 the Territory and the world. The most prominent building 
 in the city is the Temple, which is one hundred and eighty- 
 six feet and six inches long, and ninety-nine feet in width. 
 It was commenced April 6, 1853, the foundation is sixteen 
 feet in thickness, and the walls, up to the square, nine feet 
 nine inches; there will be three toM'ers at each end of the 
 the building, the centre ones rising to a hight of two hun- 
 dred feet, and its total cost wlien completed is estimated at 
 $10, 000,000. It is constructed of speckled granite rock, 
 brought from the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon, 
 some twenty miles south-east of the city, and wiien com- 
 pleted promises to be one of the most magnificent build- 
 ings in the country. The large Tabernacle on the same 
 block and to the west of the Temple, is elliptical in shape, 
 two hundrctl and fifty feet long, one hundred and fifty feet 
 wide and seventy feet in iieight from tiie floor to the ceil- 
 ing. The interior of tiie building presents the appearance 
 of an oval arch without any centre support, being the larg- 
 est self-supporting arch in America, with tlie exception of 
 that of the Central Depot of New York. The building 
 ha.s a seating t^pacity of 10,000 persons. It has twenty 
 doors nine feet wide. It contains a grand organ, one of 
 the largest and l)est tonal in the world. The Salt Lake 
 Assembly Hall is of Gothic architecture, and is one hun- 
 dred and twenty feet long, sixty-eight feet wide, and is 
 jne hundred and thirty feet to top of tower rising from 
 centre of building. This hall will accommodate 3,000 
 people. In this building is another fine organ, which like 
 that in the Tabernacle, was built entirely by Utah artizaus. 
 The Council House, forty-five feet square and two stories 
 high, was one of the most substantial and ])retentious 
 public buildings erected during the ejirly days of the Ter- 
 ritory. Here the first Legislative Assemblies convened, 
 
 and it ha.s been used for many important purposes since 
 then. Some three years ago the building was nearly de- 
 stroyed by fire, nothing but the bare walls now remain. 
 The De«eret News ofiice and tithing stores were until recently 
 church buildings. In the former are printed the 
 church papers and books; in the latter is received and paid 
 out the tithes and donations of the Mormons. On the 
 same Ijlock is the Lion House, the Beehive House and the 
 Eagle Grate, all old landmarks of LTtah, and in close prox- 
 imity is the Gardo House, the residence of the President 
 of the Church. The City Hall, a red sandstone building 
 of two stories high, which wa.s erected at a cost of $70,- 
 000, contains the offices of the Municipal Governiflent. 
 The Territorial Legislative Assembly holds its sessions in 
 this building. The Deseret University building, the 
 Catholic Hospital, St. Mary's School, Hammond Hall, 
 All Hallows College, are all imposing edifices, attractive in 
 design and built to stay. The County Court House, in 
 the southwesaern part of the city, is a two story adobe 
 structure, containing the County Offices, the ba.sement be- 
 ing used as a County Jail. Plans are now making for a 
 new County Jail which is to be constructed on the most ap- 
 proved methods. The Federal Court holds its sessions in 
 the Wasatch Block, originally designed as a hotel. The 
 Theatre and the Opera House are both fine large struct^ 
 ures with ample stage room and appurtenances to accom- 
 modate even the largest theatrical companies that cross the 
 continent. Salt Lake is recognized as a good show town, 
 all the large and best com])anies make it a point to stop 
 here. Lately the Opera House has not been used for 
 theatrical purposes. The IMuseum Ijuildiug, though delap- 
 idated, contains an attractive and rare collection of curios- 
 ities and unique specimens, collected from every part of the 
 world, and Utah in particular. The Indian relics form a 
 prominent feature.^ Its cabinets are well filled, for it re- 
 ceives material aid from Mormon missionaries wlio gather 
 curiosities for it when traveling abroad. Much can there 
 be found relating to the history of this Territory from its 
 fii-st settlement to the present time. Zion's Co-operative 
 Mercantile Institution building, the Jennings' Block, 
 Walker House, Deseret National Bank building, the D. 
 O. Calder and Dinwoodey Blocks, the Hooper & 
 Eldredge Block, Palace Hotel, Cullen's New Hotel,

 Herald Building, and G. M. Scott & Co.'s Warehouse, 
 all give evidence of the confidence our moneyed men have 
 in the stability of the city and its gro.wth. Fort Douglas, 
 located two miles east* of the t<)\vu,'is one" of the most 
 ta.stefully laid-out anil cleanly-kept military posts in the 
 Union. The officer's quarters and barracks are all built 
 witii rock and brick. Tiic Sun<lay conc-erts by the Fort 
 band during the Summer months are a source of attraction 
 to the citizens, and the lovely drive is very generally

patronized. But above all, the Great Salt Lake is the at- 
 traction for tourists. Its length is about eifjhty-five miles, 
 by filty miles wide, with an average depth of twenty feet, 
 and is reported tt) nowhere exceed sixty feet. The 
 islands in the Lake are nine in number — one of them 
 being twelve miles, another sixteen miles in length. The 
 water of the Lake is so salty that it forms one of the 
 purest and aiost concentrated brines known in the world. 
 It compares, with other bodies of salt water, about as 
 follows : 
 
 WATF.I!. SOLinS.

 Metliterranean it().2 3.8

 And in specific gravity, distilled water being unity : —

 Great Salt Lake 1.107 
 
 It is.easily approached, by a sliort ride on the Utah & 
 Nevada Railway, or in a lialf hour by the Denver & Rio 
 Grande Railway. The exhilarating effects of a bath in its 
 
 1 waters are fully appreciated and enjoyed by the residents, 
 a.s much so as by the tourists; 48,27!t people were conveyed, 
 in the Summer of 1886, by the Utah & Nevada Railway 
 and 53,347 by the Denver & Rio G rande Railway. The fare, 
 for the round trip, is but fifty cents; and the accommoda- 
 tions for excursionists, at botii places, are remarkable for 
 this inland Territory. On public holidays, the attractions 
 are sometimes as varied as those of Coney Island or Man- 
 hattan Beach. Bath houses and fresh water baths are sup- 
 plied for the use of bathers, and the surf is frequently as 
 enlivening a.s that on the shores of the Atlantic or Pacific 
 Oceans. ■ Although it is termed the Dead Sea of America 
 the waves often make it appear quite "lively." Thd Lake 
 has no outlet. The mountain streams, converging within 
 a radius of nearly 200 miles, north and south, and forming 
 rivers, all empty into this Lake. The mountain soil 
 is deeply impregnated with salts and minerals, and the 
 water mused by the melting snow, running through it be- 
 comes laden with them in solution. These salts ai'c thus car- 
 ried to the streams, thence into the rivers and by them int« the 
 Lake, where they remain forever. The Lake does not evince 
 any perceptible rise or fall, save following unusually severe 
 Winters or exceedingly mild ones; and it is relieved from 
 overflowing the accustomed bounds only l)y evaporation. By 
 this process the salts remain in the Lake, and thus, year 
 by year, though imperceptibly, the saline density of the 
 Lake incrca.ses. The result is that the Lake is one of the 
 . greatest and most inexhaustible salt producers in the world, 
 and it is freely taken advantage of. Not only is salt made 
 for local purposes, but it luis been largely ex])orted, 
 especially to the North, where it is used in the mines a.s a 
 lixivator. One experience is always sufficient to make 
 bathers careful to keep the water out of their months and 
 
 '. nostrils, Tor its strength is such aa to make strangulation 
 
 an easy possibility. Its buoyancy is almost incredible. 
 In .some j)laces it is imj)ossiblc to sink. On its waters 
 ride the old (Jarfield, and the little .steamers — the Susie 
 Riter and the Whirlwind. During the months of July, 
 Aug\ist and Sej)tember, tlie water is enjoyably tepid. The 
 fi)llowing is an analysis of the water of the Lake,, made 
 by Doctor Smart, of the United States Army, in 1877. 
 He found an imperial gallon to contain nearly twenty-four 
 and a half ounces of saline matter, amounting to nearly 
 fourteen per cent : — 
 
 Common Salt 11 .735 
 
 Carbonate of Lime .016 
 
 Sulphate of Lime 073 
 
 Epsom Salts 1.123 
 
 Chloride of Magnesia 843 
 
 Percentage of Solids 13.790 
 
 Water 86.210

 One hundred grains of the dry, solid matter, contained: — 
 
 Common Salt 85.089 
 
 Carbonate of Ijime 117 
 
 Sulphate of Lime 531 
 
 Epsom Salts 8.145 
 
 Chloride of Magnesia 6.118

 Beck's Hot S]>rings baths have achieved a wide notoriety 
 for their curative properties. Here are supplied ])ublic or 
 private plunge baths, with hotel accommodations, for the 
 requirements of invalids desiring to test the full prop- 
 erties of these famous sulphur springs. The tem])erature 
 of the water is 128°. They are distant about three miles 
 north of the city, and are easily reached either by the rail- 
 roads, or by excursion wagons which run hourly to the 
 springs. The Warm Sulphur Springs, within easy reach

 the City Corporation anil are considered efficacious in the 
 cure of rheumatic, skin and kindred diseases. The water is 
 conveyed in ]ii])es to plunge and tub baths, which are freely 
 patronized by Salt Lake residents as well as by all visitors. 
 Altliougli liiere arc several mauufiicturing interests repre- 
 sentetl in the (lity, it is apjiarent to those who look into the 
 matter thoroughly that the one great drawback to the 
 material and rajtid advancement of Salt Lake City is the 
 want of manufactories. Millions of dollars are sent from 
 here annually for articles that can be made as cheaply and 
 better at home. Take, for instance, the one item of boots and 
 .shoes, the (piantity imported, if made here, would support 
 a large number of laborers, besides keej)ing the money 
 in the connnunity, instead of sending it away to support 
 commonwealths in a great degree foreign to us. There is ab- 
 .solutely no excuse for not manufactui:ing them all here, as 
 the experience (<f Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution 
 in their shoe fiictory ha.s demonstrated. Hitles are ex- 
 ported, (freight paid on the outward trip,) converted into

boots and shoes, and freight again paid on their inward 
 trip; so also with the larger jxirtion of liarness used here. 
 So, likewise, witli our clotliing and blankets. The 
 Provo Woolen Mills and the Deserct Woolen Mills 
 have proven the practicability of converting some grades of 
 our home-raiseti wool into goods and material equal to, if not 
 better than, any imported. The list of practicable necessi- 
 ties which might be manufactured or supplied by our home 
 markets, could cover nearly all the staple imports, viz : 
 butter, candles, pickles, nails, crockery ware, cement, 
 paints, white lead and lead pipe, and many other 
 things, the material for the production of which is always 
 with us. We call the attention of our capitalists to this 
 important matter, as it will prove a material saving in 
 time and expense, giving employment to quite a number 
 of people and bringing a large sum of money into circula- 
 tion. We have almost equally good water power as the New 
 England States manufacturing districts, within a very few 
 miles of this city ; a new market and one that grows steadily 
 year by year. Salt Lake City, has, within it the Deseret 
 University — the State school — governed by a C'hancellor 
 and Board of Regents, first organized in 1850, and incor- 
 porated by the Legislature, having but a nominal exist- 
 ence until 1869. At that time, D. C). Calder, now deceased, 
 having been placed in charge of the institution, its true 
 value was demoustratetl, and subsequently Dr. J. R. Park 
 has worked so energetically that it has taken a place in the 
 front rank of our educational institutions. A normal class 
 is sustained there by appropriation of the Legislature, to 
 which each county is entitled to send a proportionate num- 
 ber of students for tuition, free of charge, with the design 
 of preparing competent teachers for the district or public 
 schools throughout the Territory. There is a department 
 of the Deseret University for deaf mutes — for the training 
 of these unfortunates and teaching them the elementary 
 branches of a common school education. There are in the 
 city twenty-one public or District Schools. These are partly 
 free, a portion of the tuition fee being paid by a Territorial 
 school tax of three mills on the dollar, apportioned pro rata 
 according to the school population in each district. The 
 teachers are supplied principally from the normal class of 
 the Deseret University. Utah, being a Territory, has no 
 benefit of the revenue derivable from school lands. Mis- 
 sion work by denominational churches- has been done, 
 and the result is a general healthy showing, comparing 
 favorably with many of the older Stiites, the percentage 
 of illiteracy being the same as that of Ma.ssachusetts, accord- 
 ing to the educational statistics given in the census of 1880. 
 St. Mark's school was established in 1867, under the 
 auspices of the Protestant Episcopal Church, by the Revs. 
 George W. Foote and Thos. W. Haskins. It is organized 
 on the plan of the public schools of the East, and has 
 eleven grades with twelve teachers, furnishing the usual 
 course of study of the common English branches, with 
 mathematics, Latin and Greek, natural sciences, history and 
 English literature in tlie high school department. Rowland 
 Hall, a boardiug school for girls, WiVa opeue*,! iu 1S81, and 
 
 grew out of a select parish school of St. Mark's Church, 
 which was begun in, 1871. Its purpose is to furnish a 
 pleasant home with superior educ<>ti(vnal advantages both 
 in the studies of a tiionpugii academic course, and in music, 
 painting and the modern languages. The Rev. G. D. B. 
 Miller is the present head master of both schools, and the 
 bishop of the diocese is respon.sible for their well-being. 
 The Collegiate Institute, under the legis of the Presbyterian 
 Church, was tbvuided by Prof. Coyner in 1875, now enrolling 
 305 students, prepares boys for the best P^astern colleges, and 
 gives girls the average Eastern seminary education. It is so 
 crowded that a new building is being planned. Professor 
 Millspaugh, the successful superintendent, is a graduate of 
 the University of jNIicliigan and the Jefferson Medical Col- 
 lege, Philadelphia. Hammond Hall (Salt Lake Academy), 
 under tlie patronage of the Xew West Education Commis- 
 sion, has cost, with the grounds surrounding, over S;>0,000; 
 it was organized in 1873, incorporated in 1878, and has a 
 full corps of higidy educated and experiencefl instructors. 
 The acadeiuy has a well-selected library, excellent cabinets, 
 and a flourishing reading room. The Commi.ssion has also 
 other schools in different parts of the city ; in the Tenth 
 Ward is found the one known as the Phillips School. These 
 are free, and many parents avail themselves of free school- 
 ing for their children ; they are supi>oi-tcd in great measure 
 by the Congregational Churciies of the United States, and 
 are under earnest Christian teachers. The Commission has 
 been in existence for seven years, and now has twenty-two 
 schools and academies in Utah. New comers will find 
 them equal to Eastern ones. Salt Lake Seminary is an 
 outgrowth of the Methodist Episcopal Church, estab- 
 lished in 1870, and is now growing in popular favor. 
 St. Mary's Academy is a Catholic institution, the fac- 
 ulty of which is composed entirely of Sisters of the Holy 
 Cross, and is looked upon as the most successful institu- 
 tion of the kind in the West. St. Joseph's School for boys 
 is operated by the same faculty. All Hallows College, 
 the result of the labors of Reverend Father Scanlan, is 
 under the supervision of Reverend Father Blake. The 
 Swedish Ev. Lutheran Zion's Church, corner of Second 
 South and Fourth Pjast Streets, was organized 1882 and the 
 building erected in the Fall of 1885. Its dimensions are 
 thirty-eight by sixty-six feet and will seat, when fully com- 
 pleted, (500 people. Owing to the fact that a majority 
 of the Scandinavian population formerly belonged to the 
 Lutheran Church, its M'ork here is meeting with encourage- 
 ment. Reverend J. A. Krantz is its present pastor. The 
 x'hurch is also carrying on school work with tlie intention 
 of having a Ciraded School at an early tlate. The 
 Baptist School of Salt Lake was commenced in September, 
 1883, and com])leted in the Spring of 1884. It was 
 located on the Church grounds, and cost $1,760. It was 
 totally destroyed, with its contents, on the night of 
 January 5thj 1887, and will probably be rebuilt the 
 ])resent summer. The school is continued in tlie 
 Lecture Room of the church edifice. The Latter- 
 Day Saints have recently started a deuouiiuatioiial 
 
school, in tlio "Social Hall," which has gro\m remarka- 
 bly in the short time of its existence, so much so, that 
 another building — the one erected bv Brigham Young, in 
 which his large family was formerly educated — has been 
 engaged, and is also used by the committee having the 
 school in charge. The institution is sufficiently provided 
 with funds, by those interested, to insure its permanent 
 financial success. A building is now nearing completion, 
 in the Eighteenth Ward, which is to be used as a Mission 
 or independent school, by the residents of that Ward. 
 Among the important institutions of the citj' are the 
 hospitals, the use of which is necessitated by the hazard- 
 ous lives of the workers in the mines and smeltei^s. 
 St. ^Mark's Hospital was organized in 1872, by the Eev. K. 
 M. Kirby. It was begun in a small rented house; the 
 number of patients treated the first year was 79, the num- 
 ber treated in 1886 was 963. The present building is 
 owned by the association and is entirely paid for. In 1879 
 the association was incorporated, and since then has greatly 
 increasetl its useftilness. Nearly 1,000 patients are treated 
 every year, at an expense of 815,000. The money is 
 collected from the miners in the Territory. On the pay- 
 ment of one dollar a month, a miner is assured of medical 
 care, board and lodging until cured, and a decent burial in 
 the case of his death. In 1886, there were but three deaths 
 in nearly a thousand patients. The Rev. C M. Armstrong 
 is the present superintendent and treasurer. The Holy 
 Cross Hospital was instituted and reared by the Catholics, 
 at a cost of over .850,000. The Sisters have control 
 of all its affairs. The Deseret Hospital, though not as i 
 extensive as the foregoing, is doing good work. The j 
 First Presbyterian Church, organized in 1871, has been i 
 under the pastoral care of Dr. McNiece since 1877. 
 Notwithstanding many removals, its membership is 
 steadily increasing, and its Sunday School has over 220 I 
 scholars. Since the recent extensive improvements, the ! 
 church has an unusually attractive audience room. The ' 
 Baptist Church was organized in August, 1883, and | 
 dedicated in March, 1884. The building cost §13,000, [ 
 including the land. Eev. h. L. Wood is the present I 
 pastor, . assisted by two lady missionaries who conduct j 
 two mission schools in the city. Mr. Wootl is also the ' 
 editor and pro])rietor of the Baptid Mountaineer, a monthly I 
 organ of the Baptist Church. St. Paul's Chapel was begun 
 early in the year 1880, and the building was, consecrated 
 ;March 13th, 1881. Since then, services have been held 
 regularly. In 1882 a parsonage was built, and the build- 
 ing of a schoolhouse is in contemplation, in which th^ 
 Sunday school will meet and a select school for boys and 
 girls will be ojiened. The j)resent pastor is the Rev. C. 
 M. Armstrong. The Jewish congregation, presided over 
 by M. C. Phillips, has a neat yet commodious Synagogue, 
 which is also used f(jr school jjurposes. The Deseret Wool- 
 en Mills are located about four miles southeast of the citv, 
 and, in 1886, they, manufactuied into flannels, yarns and 
 linsey sheetings, o\er 200,000 pounds of wool. The Com- 
 pany also runs a knitting factory, employing about- thirty 
 
 machines in the manufacture of various woolen goods. 
 The Company has money and determination to increase its 
 facilities for manufacture as fast as the demands of the 
 countiy require it. It has already acquired a flattering 
 mercantile reputation. Messrs. Luke & Sherlock also 
 operate twenty-two knitting machines, and William Pear- 
 son eleven machines. The Utah Soap Manufacturing 
 Company produced, in 1886, over 140,000 pounds of 
 laundry and 100,000 pounds of toilet soaps, and have in- 
 troduced the manufacture of sal soda, having a capacity of 
 150 barrels per month. During the pa.st year, 150,000 
 fire brick were turned out, and thirty tons of plaster of 
 Paris made from gypsum from the quarries near 
 Nephi. Elias jNIorris takes the lead in this specialty. 
 There are three marble works doing a good business in 
 monumental marble and granite work, the value of the 
 labor alone amounting last year to §23,500. The Utah 
 Cracker Factory report the business done by them last year 
 as reaching §60,000. Paper boxes for the manufacturers 
 of shoes, millinery, soap and jewelry were made to the value 
 of §4,500. The product of the silk looms last year aggre- 
 gated §4,000 — the silk being partly home raised. Of the 
 breweries it may be stiid that last year the Salt Lake City 
 Brewery sold 20,000 barrels of beer ; Margetts' Brewery, 
 770 barrels of ale and beer; Fischer's Brewery, 7,500 bar- 
 rels; Wagener's California Brewery, 9,150 barrels. In 
 the foundry and machine shops, Davis, Howe & Co. 
 turned out work aggregating §60,000 ; the Salt Lake City 
 Foundry tt Manufacturing Company, §22,000 ; Silver Iron 
 Works, over §10,000, and the Eagle Foundry §20,000. 
 Zion's Co-operative Merc-antile Institution Shoe Factory 
 employs 130 hands, and during past the year manufactured 
 goods to the value of §148,093. Connected with this fac- 
 tory is the manufactui-e of overalls — the business done 
 aggregating §43,000. The same association also operates a 
 tannery, the product of which was valued at §20,000. 
 Summerhayes & Co. report the value of the product of 
 their tannery at §45,000. The shoe facton,- of Solomon 
 Bros. & Gold, turnetl out goods to the value of §60,000. 
 Sam Levy mauufacturetl 350,000 hand-made cigars. Salt 
 Lake Vinegar Company 50,000 gallons of vinegar. There 
 was collected on the Great Salt Lake last Summer, 100,000 
 tons of salt, a large portion of which was used in the 
 smelters and mills. The Marion Manufacturing Company 
 has started the manufacture of stamj>ed goods in tin, copper 
 and ironware, and arrangements arc said to have been made 
 to make tools, screw-dies, taps, etc. The Salt Lake Glass 
 Works, though started only a year ago, runs four pots and 
 nine annealing furnaces constantly in the maufacture of 
 bottles and fruit jars. The product of the eight months 
 prior to December being §29,000. The furniture factories 
 furnish the following amounts as being manufacture*! here : 
 H. Dinwoodey, §28,245; Sorenson & Carlquist, §10,000; 
 Co-operative Furniture Company, §16,000. The Provo 
 Woolen Mills supplied to tlie market goods to the value of 
 §180,000, §120,000 worth being sold in this city, and with 
 the facilities of the mills the product could easily have

been made to reach double this amount. The company 
 used 400,000 pounds of wool, and shipped 250,000 pounds 
 of the grades not used in this mill to the East. The 
 value of confectionery made was §89,840. Trunks 
 and sanijde ca.ses valued at 811,000; show-cases, SI 7,700. 
 Of lime rock there was 30,172 tons quarriwl for flux- 
 ing purposes, fifty cords for building, and 00,000 for mak- 
 ing lime. The value of "Valley Tan Kcmalics," med- 
 icines, manufa<'turcd by C". E. Johnson, ^^■as .?4,000. The 
 Deseret Paper Mills manulacturcd print, wrapping and 
 book papers to the value of §;)0,000 ; it is run oidy part of 
 the time at present. Salt Lake City also boasts of one of 
 the best and largest soda water works in the country, 
 belonging to Dcnhalter «t Sons, wIkj own the finest gene- 
 rator ever sent to the West. The Pioneer Roller Mills 
 consumed 3,600,000 pounds of wheat, and Hasler & 
 Co., 10,230,000 pounds. The hunber used during the past 
 year aggregated nearly seven hundred carloads, each car load 
 averaging eleven thousand feet. This amount is in addition 
 to the amount of native liuuber used. The manufacture of 
 millinery goods amounted to §35,000 ; hai'ness and sad- 
 dles, §150,000. The exports were: Wheat, 12,000,000 
 pounds ; oats, 200 car loads ; barley, 500 car loads ; 
 ^ lucerne, 1,000 tons; potatoes, 10,000,000 pounds; rye, 
 twenty ear loads; sheep pelts, §30,000; hides, §65,000; 
 flint deer hide, 25,000 pounds; buckskin, 10,000 pounds; 
 poultry', §20,000; eggs, §225,000; honey, §16,000; 
 dried fruits, §60,000. The Germania Lead Works 
 has been successful in the manufacture of lead pipe 
 and white lead, made from the ore mined in the 
 neighborhood. Then also, paint is made at Provo, 
 an excellent quality, and a ready market is found 
 here for it. Besides these, there are an infinitude 
 of articles of a domestic nature that are of general manu- 
 facture, but regarding which statistics are not available. 
 These include brooms, hats antL caps, carpets, yarns, stock- 
 ings, cements, glue, brushes, willow ware, artificial flowers, 
 strawbraid, coke, brick and adobies, wagons and carriages, 
 crockery and pottery ware, etc. Utah has nearly driven 
 out competition and sto.ppetl importation, by the acknowl- 
 edged excellence of one article produced, viz: tlie manu- 
 Bfaeture of cheese. There is scarcely a branch of industry 
 known in the world, which depends upon mineral resource, 
 which can not be inaugurated here with the assurance of 
 the existence of resources that twenty generations will never 
 see indications of being exhausted. It has been said of 
 the Great Salt Lake basin, M'hieh forms the larger part of 
 Utah: "The entire basin is a vast laboratory of nature, 
 where all the primitive processes have been carried out, on 
 a scale so vast, as to make man's dominion, at first sight, 
 seem forever impossible." The Salt Lake Chamber of 
 Commerce was organized in April, 1887, for the following 
 purposes, viz : To stimulate and to promote the growth of 
 this Territory; to develop its agricultural, fruit growing 
 and mining interests; its banking and brokerage; its 
 manufactories and arts; its stock and wool-growing, 
 slaughtei'ing and pacldng iuterestd; its architecture and 
 
 public improvements; its commercial education; and to 
 organize and provide for a bureau of statistics in relation 
 to nianufact tiring, mining, commercial, financial and in- 
 dustrial aftairs of public interest and value. To correct 
 trade abuses and to secure uniformity in commercial laws 
 and customs ; to harmonize and facilitate business inter- 
 course; to arbitrate differences and disputes; to promote 
 equity and to treat with railways in the interest of our 
 commerce ; and for representation in all other trade issues. 
 Its officers are : President, W. S. McCornick ; First Vice 
 President, George A. Lowe; Second Vice President, Frank 
 W. Jennings ; Secretary, Hugh C. Wallace ; Treasurer, 
 Thomas R. Jones ; Board of Directors — W. H. Reming- 
 ton, George A. Lowe, F. H. Meyers, F. W. Jennings, 
 W. S. McCornick, J. C. Conklin, F. H. Auerbach, 
 E. Kahn, James Glendinning, M. H. Walker, H. 
 L. A. Culmer. The Chamber of Commerce will 
 extend every reasonable aid and give hearty support 
 to the starting of new manufactories and every enterprise 
 which will promote the development of the resources of 
 Utah or the building up of Salt Lake City. Facts, figures 
 and information concerning the resources of the Territorj', 
 and the opportunity for investing capital, will be furnished 
 upon applicration to the Secretary. 
 
 The followng condensation of a circular issued by 
 the Denver and Rio Grande Railway, in January of the 
 present year, is an interesting and reliable presentation of 
 our agricultural resorces : 
 
 Fair Utah wheat ranks in the East with the best No. 
 2 Red, which is the highest grade that appears in most of 
 the Eastern markets. Our choicest qualities, raised under 
 the most favorable conditions, are a unique product with 
 scarcely an equal in America. A number of points in 
 Colorado, especially Denver, are already buyers of our 
 wheat this year, while some shipments have been made to 
 Kansas City. Enquiries are also being made from Cali- 
 fornia. Utah wheat has a brighter, larger kernel than 
 that of the East, and though no handsomer than that of 
 California, it is firmer and its nutriment more concentrated. 
 We have known parties who were keeping up work- 
 horses, to pay 25 to 30 per cent, more for Utah oats of 
 ordinary quality than for a fair grade of Eastern. This 
 was a couple of years ago when cut rates of freight per- 
 mitted the bringing in of Eastern oats. Nothing more 
 conclusive can be said of the real value of our oats than 
 this, which, after all, only represents current oj)inion 
 among those who have tried both. Utah oats, therefore, 
 command a stifl' price and j)arties looking here for a sup- 
 ply should understand that in return for the comparatively 
 high figure asketl, the real fmling power of our grain is 
 proportionately high. Utah oats have ranged in price 
 during recent years from IJ to l.{ cents \wt pound on cars. 
 ■ Usually, our barley is of nuignificcut appearant* and 
 probably fifty car loads of fine ([uality now remain here 
 awaiting a market. It is of the white club variety for 
 
brewing purposes. In 1885, our brewing barley was 
 exported in great quantities to St. Louis, Milwaukee, Cal- 
 ifornia and other points, where it invariably graded as 
 fully up to the best Canadian brewing. Utah barley beer is 
 advertised all over the Union, and signifies the highest 
 attainable degree of merit. It is the use of this barley 
 which gives Utah beer so high a standard. Indeed, our 
 white club brewing barley will hold its own anywhere as 
 a strictly fancy product. Besides this grade, Utah has for 
 sale about a million pounds of mixed feed barley. 
 
 There are a few cars of rye annually oifered here 
 at figures usually ranging over one cent per pound. The 
 quality is superb and the yield fair. 
 
 Utah does not pose as a corn countni- and rarely has 
 anv for export. The hot, sultry nights which corn requires 
 are not characteristic of our climate. East of tlie Wasatch 
 Mountains, however, along the line of the Denver and Rio 
 Grande Western, especially at Green River, it is likely 
 that corn growing will prove a considerable industry-. 
 
 A special providence seems to have reserved this 
 Territory for the cultivation of lucern, often called Alfalfa, 
 which the farming people of Utah have learned to look 
 upon as one of the greatest blessings that has yet been 
 vouchsafed them. The best crops come from lands that 
 cannot well be plowed because of their rough character. 
 Excellent results have been had by merely clearing off the 
 brush and casting the seetl over such ground. It takes 
 longer to get a good start this way, and irrigation is more 
 difficult than if the ground were stirred up, but it thrives 
 better in the end. Lucern will do well even on ground 
 that is too steep for a mowing machine, if only sufficient 
 water can be got on it to give it a start. Its average 
 growth is about three feet, though we have known it to 
 reach over six feet when left for seed. A serious drought 
 may spoil the crop for the time being, but the following 
 year it will come up as good as ever. 
 
 Utah is, par excellence, the country for lucern seed 
 and from 300 to 400 tons are exported annually at prices 
 varying fi-om seven to eleven cents per pound. 
 
 We raise some Red and AVhite Clover Seed but 
 have little left beyond our own needs for export. 
 
 The L'tah potato has a reputation for excellence all 
 over Americ-a and even in Great Britain. Other climes 
 have tried in vain to match oiu- product but the attempt 
 seems futile. For many years great quantities have lieen 
 exjiorted from this Territory, and it looks as if we shall 
 continue to do so for all time to come. We have seen a 
 lot of sixteen bushels that went throughout twelve potatoes 
 only to the bushel. The King of the Early, Peerless and 
 Compton's Surprise yield in favoreil loc-dities about 400 
 bushels to the acre. With high cultivation, we have even 
 lieard of 1,000 bushels being raised to the acre. 
 
 Utah has also a fine reputation for carrots, which 
 often yield, of good quality, as much as 1,200 bushels to 
 the acre; also for onions, turnips, parsnips, radishes, etc. 
 Beets thrive astonishingly well, and far-seeing men fortell 
 that one day, the large tracts of low lying but now 
 
 unwatered lands on the western side of this valley and 
 elsewhere will be under cultivation to the Sugar Beet for 
 the manufacture of sugar. 
 
 There is no rea.son why the cultivation of peanuts 
 should not take its plac-e as one of our foremast root pro- 
 ducts. It has been clearly demonstrated that our climate 
 and soil are especially favorable to their gro'wth, and every 
 attempt that has lieen made — which was only on an exper- 
 imental scale — has born out this idea. 
 
 Of green stufts, we annually export large quantities 
 of cabbage, cauliflower and celery, the latter growing 
 exceptionally fine. 
 
 South of L'tah Lake and in various other localities 
 are grounds suitable to the growth of flax, which is native 
 to our soil, and would pay well for cultivation. 
 
 Hops are also native to L^tah, its trailing vines liter- 
 ally overrunning every other kind of foliage in manv of 
 our canvons. The picking of "wild hops has yielded con- 
 siderable pin-money to the country people, and Nature 
 could not tell in plainer wortls that this is pre-eminently a 
 region favorable to their cultivation. 
 
 The same causes which give excellence to the grains 
 and vegetables of Utah, also stamp her orchard products 
 mth a high caste. Fresh fruits are exjwrted in consider- 
 able quantities and, wherever sent, take the highest place 
 and command the readiest sale. In general terms, the 
 superior characteristics are firmness, beauty and, above all, 
 fine flavor. Utah peaches are shipped, wrapped and 
 unwrapped, in boxes of about twenty pounds each and 
 find a ready market in Colorado and Idaho. Our peach 
 trees thrive best on light loam and gravely soil. 
 I The apple is now generally acknowledged to be 
 
 more free from worms (codling moth) than for some 
 years previous and thousands of boxes have been shipped 
 East and Nor^h by parties in Ogden, Salt Lake, Provo, 
 Springville and other places. It is probable that each 
 succeeding year will see our apples fi-eer from worms and 
 that, in a few years, they will have disappeared altogetlier. 
 Bv papering the apples and shipping in refrigerator cars 
 they may be safely transported long distances late in the 
 Fall. Green apples are a staple product of the Territory-, 
 and notwithstanding the heavy shipments made, the de- 
 mand last season was not equal to the supply. 
 
 There are many fine plums raised in Utah ; the growth 
 of plums last season fell much short of our usual quantity 
 and we were far from supplying the demand. 
 
 There is a sure demand for more good Utah pears 
 than have yet been produced. There is a lack chiefly of 
 early varieties of which we have few besides the Bartlett. 
 Growers have paid over much attention to Winter j^ears, 
 which ripen too late to secure favorable sale. They now 
 realize the fact, and it is likely that future years will find 
 a better supply of earlier kind-. The UtiUi pear is an ex- 
 tremely rich fruit. 
 
 In most seasons, Utali has a good crop of apricots for 
 export, and cherries in limited supply, while grapes are in 
 good quantity, but at points favorable for shipping are not

as handsome as those from California. In Southern Utah 
 they raise heautiful grapes of fine rich flavor, the average 
 yieia per aere being 6,:2(J() pounds, aoeording to the latest 
 (lata. Strawberries and rasjiberries are both native to 
 Utah, a.s is the red and blaek currant, lender cultivation, 
 the yield is very large and of surpassing cpiality. 
 
 " Such is the wide reputation wiiich Utah enjoys for tiie 
 excellence of her dried fruits that they conuuaud a fanvy 
 price throughout the entire United States. In com- 
 petition with the best Tennessee they bring in Chicago and 
 other cities from two to four times the price. The cause 
 is of coHi-se, jjrimarily the excellent quality of our fruits 
 with its rich flavor; but we owe to the peculiarity of our 
 climate the ability to sun-tlry with such sugggfiB^^ i third 
 reason is the singular rai)idity with whictS^pB^. Wap- 
 orates in this region, enabling the drying 'pr^ftess to take 
 place rapidly in the day-time, while the aksence of dew, 
 prevents the back-sets during the night. Fruits dried l»y 
 artificial processes lose part of their virtues, and it is 
 doubtless whether much of it would be done were otiier 
 climates as favorable as our own to sun-drying. Thus it 
 is that Utah sun-dried fruits occupy a place by themselves 
 in the markets of America. A fancy article, that has 
 never yet been produced here in anything like tiie quantity 
 that could be sold, is the Salt Lake peeled peach. There 
 is nothing like it for fine flavor anywhere. It keeps well 
 and commands twice or thrice the figure of the unpeeled. 
 The ajn-ieots dried here invariably find a ready market, 
 it l)eing an exceptional year when they are not cleared out 
 before Christmas. The price always ranks high and the 
 fruit is a general favorite. 
 
 Sometimes a.s many as a hundred thousand pounds uf 
 plums find tiieir way to this market. Attention is now 
 l)eing turned to the German prune fi)r drying purposes, 
 and these will probably be kept separate. Tiie time is at 
 hand when tiiese will take the place of tliose imp<.rte<l an<l, 
 in a few years, expoi-ts are sure to fi>llow. 
 
 Very few dried peai-s have, so far, come to market. 
 A very limited sujiply of nectarines have been brought in 
 and quickly sold at a higli price. This fruit is so fine in 
 ap))earance and so ricli in pidiiy substance that its drving 
 should be encouraged. 
 
 A novel protluct, which first (K*>a.sions suqjrise and 
 then finds great favor wjierever iutr<xluce<l, is the dried 
 ground cherry. This fruit is nati\-e here and has not been 
 cultivated, to our knowledge. It grows only too frwly 
 for tlie farmers, however, as it .spreads with great vigor. 
 When scalded and drie<l, the fruit is of a beautiful, golden, 
 cleaidy sort, making excellent pies, sauw and |)reserves. 
 
 Dnll times have a|>parently ])assed away, and arelieing 
 succeeded by a spirit of renewed jtul)iic cimfidence in the 
 stability and resources of tiie city and Territory. Rumors 
 are constantly afloat of radroads from the Ea.st and North, 
 organizing and feeling their way hither, and corps of sur- 
 veyors are scattered over all the surrounding country, 
 seeking for the best routes, witii this city as the objective 
 ])oint. Kast<'rn and Western capitalists are investing in 
 our real estate and our mines. Transfers of proj>erty in 
 tliis city run up to $200,000, weekly, and the wise ones 
 ])redict this as but tlic commencement of the glorious futuix? 
 which awaits our (iardcn City, the metro]»olis of the 
 Kockv Mountain I'Oiiioii. 
 
 Before leaving our beautiful City we urge upon 
 visitors to take a look at it from the "Tourist's Tower" 
 on Prospect Hill, as from tiiis ]K)iiit can be ol)tained a 
 satisfying view of the City and its entrancing surroundings,
