As it is " MoKMONiSM " alone which gives to Salt Lake City its unique pre-eminence amongst the cities of Western America, and that attracts the visits of the tourist and traveler, we shall, in this hrief but comj^re- hensive Guide, give chief place to the edifices, etc., erected by tliis people, and the surrounding objects of interest associated with their eventful history. The mercantile and maiuifacturing interests of the Citv will also be detailed, tluis making this little work a hand-book of reference for capitalists and busi- ness men, and all others interested in the commercial growth and development of the City of Salt Lake. GIIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY, FIRST SETTLEMENT OF SALT LAKE CITY. In tjie spring of 1.S47, Ih'ighani Yoiing/^^ Presi- dent of the "'.Mormon" Clmreli, started from the Mis- souri Uiver in seareh of a })]ace of settlement for liis co-reHgionists who had l)een (h-iven from Nalvoo, Ilhnois. He was accomi)anie(l by one huiKh'ed and forty-two pioneers. Tlie company arrived in the valley of Great Salt Lake on the 24th of July, having sought out and made a new road ()5() miles, and followed a trappers' trail nearly 400 miles. On the 29tli of July the pioneers received addi- tional strength by tlie arrival of Captain James Brown with a detachment of the"Ak)rmon" Battalion, and a company of Saints from Mississippi, who wintered with the detachment on the Arkansas River. The population being now about four hundred, the building of Salt Lake City was commenced by the erection of a fort, enclosing ten acres. The arrival of tlie Pioneers and this detachment of the battalion, all armed and carrying the flag of the United States, the commencement to build a fort and the hoisting of the stars and stripes (although this country at the time belonged to Mexico,) had a tendency to im- press the wild tribes of the mountains with respect, and made it comparatively easy to promote friendly rela- tions with them. The Twelve Apostles organized Salt Lake City into a Stake of Zion, and appointed John Smith, Presi- * Brigham Young was born June 1, 1801, at AVhittingham, Windsor County, Vermont; was baptized into the Cliurch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day »Saints in 1H82, ordained an Apostle in 1835, and died in Salt Lake City, August 29, 1877.

The Temple at Xauvoo, Illinois, was about 128 feet long by 88 feet wide. The corner stones were laid in the presence of the Xauvoo Legion, by the various autliorities of the Church, on the 0th day of April, bS41. 'I'he building was erected by the tithing and free-will offerings of tlie peoj)le, and was so rapidly ad- vanced that on the 8th of November the same year the Baj)tismal Font was dedicated, and baptisms for the lic services on Saturday and Sun- day, the 2nd and )ird of May, 184B. The Temple at St. George, the site of whicli was dedicated by prayer by President George A. Smith, and ground broken November 9th 1871, is 141 feet 8 inches long by 93 feet 4 inches wide ; is 84 feet from ground to to[) of parapet. TYie basement is of volcanic rock, the upper part of red sandstone, and contains about 1900 cords of rock, 1,000,000 feet of lumber, and co.st about 8800,000. Upon its completion, a general Ton- ference of all the authorities of the church was held within its walls on the 0th of April, 1877, and the dedicatory prayer was offered bv Counsellor Daniel H. Wells. The Manti Temple site was dedicated and the ground broken by President Brigham Young on April 2oth, 1877. The corner stones w^ere laid April 14th. 1 879. Its size is 172 x 9o feet, and 82 feet to the srjuare. 10 GUIDK TO SALT LAKH CITY, Its eastern tower is to be 170 feet higli. the western tower 169 feet liii;h. This edifice stands on a hill, which had to be partly removed and required 2,400 cords of rock terrace to provide for its location. The site of the Lotian Temple is situated on an elevation or table land in the eastern part of the city bearing that name. It was dedicated with prayer offered by Apostle Orson Pratt, May ISth, 1877, and the ground was broken the same day. The corner stones were laid September 17th, 1877. The building, including towers and buttresses, is 171 feet long by 95 in width, with a tower 30 feet square at each end, the eastern tower to be 155 feet, and the western tow^er 143 feet in height, and 86 feet from the surface to top of ijattlements. THE SALT LAKE CITY TEMPLE.* The Temple Block is 40 rods square, the lines run- ning north and south, east and west, and contains ten acres. The centre of the Temple is 156 feet 6 inches due west from the centre of the east line of the 1)1 ock. The length of the Temple east and west, is 186 feet six inches including towers, by 99 feet in width. On the east end there are three towers, as also on the west. The north and south walls are 8 feet thick, clear of pedestal ; they stand upon a footing of 16 feet wall, on its bearing, which slopes 3 feet on each side to the height of 7 feet six inches. The footing of the towers rises to the same height as the side, and is one solid piece of masonr}^ ot rough ashlars, laid in good lime mortar. The basement of the main building is divided into many rooms by walls, all having footings. The line of *Abridged from description of T. O. Angell Architect.

Four inches above the earth on the east hne, begins a promenade walk, from 11 to 22 feet wide, around the entire ])uil(l- ing, and approached by stone steps on all sides. *There are four towers on the four corners of the building, eacli starting from their footing, of 2H feet square; these continue 16 feet six inches high, and 12 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY, come to the line of the base string course, which is 8 feet above the promenade walk. At this point the towers are reduced to 25 feet square; they then con- tinue to the height of 38 feet, or the height of the sec- ond string course. At tliis point they are reduced to 23 feet square ; they then continue 38 feet high, to the third string course. The string courses continue all around the building, except when separated by but- tresses. These string courses are massive mouldings from solid blocks of stone. The two east towers then rise 25 feet to a string- course, or cornice. The two west tow^ers rise 19 feet and come to their string course or cornice. The four towers then rise 9 feet to the top of battlements. These towers are cylindrical, having 17 feet diameter inside, within which stairs ascend around a solid column four feet in diameter, allowing landings at the various sec- tions of the building. These towers have each five or- namental window^s on two sides, above the basement. The tw^o centre tow^ers occupy the centre of the east and the west ends of the building, starting from their foot- ings 31 feet square, and break off in sections in line with corner towers to the height of the third string course. The east centre tower then rises 40 feet to the top of battlements ; the west centre tower rises 34 feet to the top of battlements. All the towers have orna - mental spires surmounting them. The centre room of the basement is arranged for a baptismal font, and is 57 feet long by 35 feet wide, sep- arated from the main w^all by four rooms, two on each side, 19 feet long by 12 wide. On the east and Vest sides of these rooms are four passages 12 feet wdde; these lead to and from by outside doors, two on the AND ITS KXVIHOXS. 18 north and two .)n the suntli. h'urthcr east and west tVom these i)assai2;es are four more rooms; two at each I'nd, 28 feet wide by oS feet inclies lono-.

It has a roof of four gables, each surmounted with omameiilal spire?-, a*?' also are the four corners of the Hall. There are four wide entrances, one on each side 18 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY, and end. The same have stairways leading to the gal- lery. The building is lighted with gas, and is heated in cold weather by steam boilers, at a pressure of IJ lb. to the square inch. 'A wide gallery extends around the entire Hall, ex- cept at the west end, where the large organ is situated, and ample room is reserved for a choir of 100 singers. Immediately in front of the choir are three stands or pulpits, arranged conveniently in steps one above an- other, occupied by the leading authorities of the Church. In front of the stands is the Sacramental table. For its artistic design and the many interesting historical reminiscences depicted upon it, the ceiling is worthy of special mention. It is divided off into six- teen panels, of different shape and design, by an ele- gant moulding and border. Each panel is occupied by a beautiful fresco ornament, or painting representing historical scenes in the early rise of the Church, and paintings of the different Temples built and now build- ing by the Latter-day Saints. Representations of the Savior, Moses, Elijah, and Elias are also given. The two largest and principal panels are over the east and west ends of the Hall. That over the west end contains a fresco delineation of the All-Seeing Eye, and the emblematical Hive of Deseret, with the Kirtland and Nauvoo Temples in the two lower corners. The panel over the east end contains a historical fresco painting of the angel "Moroni showing the Prophet Joseph where the plates were hid in the Hill Cumorah." The artistic fresco work of the ceiling was done by W. C. Morris, Esq. AND ITS ENVIRONS. 19 The huildin*'- was coiiiplotod and dedicated in the spring of 18N0. The riall will accommodate nearly 8,000 people. Its acoustic properties are perfect; an ordinary speaker can be heard distinctly in any })art of the auditorum. In summer, regular Sunday services are held in the large Tabernacle at 2 p. m., and at the same hour in the Assembly Hall during the winter months. In both houses of worship special seats are reserved for tourists and strangers, who are always welcome. THE MUSEUM. The Museum is situated on Soutli Temple Street, immediateh^ focing the south entrance to the Temple Block. It should be visited by all who desire informa- tion with regard to the varied productions of Utah, and the number and importance of its advantages. In this Museum may be seen specimens of native minerals, ores and manufactures, native animals, birds, reptiles and insects ; wonderful fossils and petrifactions ; with many curiosities relating to the Indians of the Rocky Mountain region of olden and modern times. The visitor to the Museum cabinets can get a better idea of the immense and varied resources of Utah than by reading many books, or even visiting a few of its mines and manufactures. The mustnim is interesting also as showing what has been done by the " Mormon " people in the gradual development of manufactures and art. Besides, there are rare curiosities from every part of the world^dols from Japan, China, the Sandwich Islands, etc. A large collection of objects from Northern Europe, etc., and 2vO GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY, numerous curiosities gathered by missionaries in their proiclytiiig travels. One ot the most interesting objects to visitors is the boat of Kit Carson, the first whi-te man's vessel that plowed the waters of the Great Salt Lake. THE COUNCIL HOUSE. 0x1^ of the most substantial and pretentious pub- lic buildings erected in the city during the early years of its existence was the Council House. It is situated at the corner of South and East Temple Streets. It was commenced in 1849, two years after the first settle- ment of vhe eity, and was ready for occupation in the fall of I80O. In comparison with the many larger and finer buildings that now overshadow it, the old Council House has a modest appearance, but when it was built it was considered quite a stately edifice. It is a sub- stantial red sandstone and adobe building, forty-five feet square and two stories high. It has been used for many important purposes. Here the earh^ Legislative Assemblies convened ; here were also held important Church councils. For some years it was occupied by the Deseret LTniversity, but now it is principally used for meetings of various bodies of the Latter-day Saint Priesthood. The larger rooms are used for general meetings of the High Priests, Seventies, Bishops, and other bodies. Here also High Councils aff-e held, where ofienders against the ecclesiastical law are tried for their fellowship or standing in the Church. There are four smaller rooms, one of which is occupied by the Twelve Apostles, one by the Seventies, a third by the Presi- dency of "the Salt Lake Stake of Zion," and the fourth AND ITS ENVIRONS. 21 by the editorial staif of the Woman's Exponent, a " Mor- mon " woman's paper in which is chronicled the doings of their relief aild charitable societies, and a vigorous stand made in defence of their political rights. It is a religio-political paper of unique characteristics, defend- ing "Mormonism" and female suffrage with equal warmth. Its present editress, Mrs. Emmeline B. Wells, wife of Gen. Daniel H. Wells, is a New England lady of culture, refinement and considerable business tact. Among its |)rincipal contributors are Eliza R. Snow Smith, a wife of the- First " Mormon " Prophet, Louisa G. Richards, Hannah T. King, Augusta J. Crocheron, Emily B. Woodmansee, Ellen Mar Whitney, Lu Dalton, Emily B. Spencer and a number of other prominent " Mormon " ladies. [Since the publication of this work w^as com- menced, a disastrous fire has nearly destroyed the Council House, nothing but the walls being spared ; many of the adjacent buildings and places of business being entirely destroyed.] SOUTH TEMPLE STREET. Looking east from the south-east corner of the Temple Block may be seen some of the most interest- ing of Salt Lake City's "old landmarks." At the corner opposite are the buildings of the "DESERET NEWS" PUBLISHING COMPANY. This is the oldest paper in the Rocky Mountain region, and for years the only newspaper published be- tween San Francisco and the Missouri River. Its first number appeared in June, 1850. It is the organ of 22 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It possesses one of the largest and most substantial paper mills in the west, situated about fourteen miles south- east of the city ; and has also a bindery and type founderv. It issues a Daily, Semi-Weekly and Weekly edition. THE TITHING STORE. Behind the Deserd News buildings are the ware- houses and yards of the General Tithing Store. It is the custom of the "Mormons" to pay their tithes and donations to the Church in kind. The farmer pays the products of his farm, the cattleman from the increase of his herds, the artizan and the laborer pays in "days' work." Consequently at the Tithing Store is gathered a most complicated assortment of products — ^grains, vegetables, merchandise, cattle, ad infinitum. These materials are paid out to the men who work on the Temples, the public hands, clerks, etc., goes towards the sup})ort of the i)Oor, are doled out to friendly In- dians, are sold for money or exchanged for more avail- able or desirable productions of the herd, farm, field or workshop. PRESIDENT YOUNG'S RESIDENCES. A LITTLE over half a block east of the Deseret Neivs office stand the residences of the founder of Salt Lake City — the late Brigham Young. TJie first is known as the " Lion House," from the fact that a statue of a lion, crouching, is placed over the front entrance. The "Bee Hive " house is the next building to the east. A carved bee-hive (the insignia of LTtah) crowns this edifice. Be- tween these two houses are the offices of the Presidencv AND ITS ENVIRONS. 23 of the " Mormon" Church. Here the Church dignit^i- ries receive such visitors as are properly introduced. In these offices are also the head-quarters of the Deseret 24 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY, Telegraph line, which has wires running to every settle- ment of any importance in Utah Territory. THE EAGLE GATE. East of the " Bee Hive " House is the entrance to City Creek Canon. The high cobble wall formerly con- tinued uninterruptedly east. Here was situated the ANT) ITS ENVIRONS. 25 Eagle Gate. The rock supports still remain, as an old landmark, with the artisiically executed eagle perched on the summit. A short distance further east is an- other of T^resident Young's residences, known as the White House, whilst to tho north-east is the Imilding that he used for a school-house for his family. A little beyond, yet further north-east, is his grave. THE GARDO HOUSE. Opposite the Bee Hive house, south, is the Gardo House (frecjuently called in burlesque "The Amelia Palace,") the residence of the Presidentof the "Mormon" C'liurch. It was commenced by Brigham Young, but not occupied permanently by him. It is a very pleas- ing specimen of Utah architecture. West of the Gardo House is the office of the Church Historian. Here the historical records of the Church are kept, and a copy preserved of all works, that can be obtained, which are written for or against the faith and practices of this society. THE SOCIAL HALL. Half a block south of the Eagle Gate is the Social Hall. It was the dramatic centre before the Theatre was built, and is still used for balls, parties, children's exhibitions, assemblies, fancy fairs, etc. Like all the rest of the buildings erected by the late "Mormon" President, solidity rather than elegance characterizes its style of architecture. Old "Mormons," of Utah's early days, are never weary of telling of the good times experienced within its walls. 26 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY, SALT LAKE THEATRE. This imposing and massive edifice stands on the north-west corner of First East and First South Streets. It was erected at the instance and under the persona] direction of the late President Brigham Young. It has undergone many improvements since his demise, and no pains are spared by its present proprietors to make it one of the best appointed in the West. It is a capacious building, 175 feet in length and 80 feet in width, and 60 feet from floor to ceiling inside, having a stage 65 feet deep and 32 feet at the proscenium, and it is fully supplied with traps, properties and scenery. It has a parquette, dress and three upper circles, and two private l30xes each side of the prosceniuuL It will seat com- fortably 1,500 persons. The outside i)resents an impos- ing appearance, granite finish on adobie walls, fluted columns, massive cornices in the simple Doric style of architecture. The interior is decorated with taste, and when lighted up is very fine. The scenery is the pro- duction of the best artists and looks so real that it com- mands the admiration of all spectators. In all its ap- pointments the theatre is first-class. The most talented actors in tragedy and comedy have trod its boards, and have been patronized with appreciation. THE WALKER OPERA HOUSE. Last year, the Messrs. Walker Bros, erected this beautiful building, situated on Second South Street. It is a pleasing building on the exterior, with a very taste- ful front. The interior is highly ornamented. It is 165 feet long, 67 feet wide and 60 feet from floor to ANl) ITS KN VI RONS. 27 ceiling'. 'V\\v stiiiie is 4.S foot deep l)y 59 feet broad. It lias pai'ijiu^tte, divss circle, two ii])per circles, and loui- pri\-ate boxes, two c^acb side* of tlie prosceiiiuin. THE CITY HALL. The City IJall, a red sandstone building, on First Soutb Street, was erected at a cost of ^70,000. It con- tains the offices of the Mayor, Recorder, Teasurer, As- sessor and Collector, Water Master, and Chiefs of the Fire and Water Departments, the Alderman and Justice's court room and the Council Chamber. ' For many years past the Territorial Legislative Assembly has held its bi-annual sessions in this building. Salt Lake City has had but five mayors since its incorporation — Hons. Jedediah M. Grant, A. 0. Smoot, Daniel H. Wells. F. Ijittle and AVm. Jennings, the last named being the present incumbent. In the rear of the City Hall are the municipal prisons, built of cut stone, massively put together with an inch and a half bolt between each block ; cemented together so that escape is very difficult. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. East of the City Hall is the old building formerly used for that purpose, when Salt Lake City was a very small burg. It is now occupied by the Fire Departnient and known as the Firemen's Hall. Beside the engine room for the apparatus, on the ground floor of the Firemen's Hall, a large and well- furnished room on the upper story affords- ample space as a meeting room and daucing hall, as well as library and reading room. The library now contains over 500 28 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY, volumes, and has mainlv been accumulated throuob the generosity of citizens interested in- the welfare of the firemen. Two years ago, the firemen organized a Mu- tual Aid Society, a benevolent institution of which fire- men only are members. This wise precaution by men liable at any time to accident or even death has proved what it purports to be, a benefit and aid in cases of misfortune. The society has $600 in bank and has paid out over §150 in charity. Back of the engine room is a bunk room, with beds for the accommodation of twelve or sixteen persons. The department at present numbers, officers and members, 110 men, with the following apparatus: One Silsby steamer, two hand engines, four hose carts, one hook and ladder truck, with 2,300 feet of hose. The Firemen are unpaid, but do exeellent service ; the average loss by fire in Salt Lake City is lower than in any other city of its size in the West. Col. Geo. M. Ottinger, formerly of Philadelphia, is the chief engi- neer of the Fire Department. The firemen also possess a brass and a string band. STREET RAILWAY. *" DuKiNG the past year, the system has been extended two and a half miles, one line having been built to Lib- erty Park, and another from the Denver & Rio Grande depot to Main Street at the Clifi* House, and thence up to First South, making a double track along Main Street a distance of two blocks. At present, the lines are in the aggregate a little over nine miles in extent. The system has been divided up so as to have through lines over four routes, which formerly were separated into AND ITS ENVIRONS. 21 > I'iiiht routes. Tlie coniinuiy oiiiplov tbiirteen cars, tliirl y men, and eii2,hty-four animals. The animals are re- (juired to do duty to the extent of about sixteen miles l)er day, which only requires from four to five hours service daily. This season, the street car lines are being extended from the Emporium corner west on First South Street, to connect with the Utah & Nevada Railway depot, principally for the accommodation of bathers and vis- itors to the lake by that line. The company have an extensive Ijarn, 40x125 feet, built of adobes and bi'ick with iron roof. The company propose to add such improvements and increase the stock and number of cars to such an extent as to give the best accommodation to the public. Mr. O. P. Arnold is a good manager of the lines. The capital invested aggregates §100,000; the title of the corporation being The Salt Lake Railroad Company. THE WATER WORKS. The water supply for the city mains is obtained from City Creek, a canyon stream north of the city. The flow of this stream at its best (during the month of June), is about 1,000,000 gallons per hour, but of course like all mountain streams, is variable. The water is taken trom the creek bv a flume to three distributina- and filtering tanks, having a combined capacity of 103,- 350 gallons. The elevation of these reservoirs above the north-east corner of the Temple Block, is 185 feet, and gives an average water [)ressure of 70.1 pounds to the inch. The water is distributed at present through 12J miles of piping, varying in diameter from 20 to 4 )0 GUIDE TO SALT LAKF: CITY inches. On this Hne of mains are located 121 hydrants and 71 gates or valves, which suppl}' 750 water- takers, with an average daily consumption of water, during the summer months, of nearly 3,()00,0()0 gallons, and dur- ing the winter about 1,400,000. A great deal of the water is wastefully and extravagantly used. During the past year, 6,717 feet of piping have been added to the mains, and the total expenditures for the year has been $19,521.12 ; the revenue, $13,047.60. Thus far there has been expenses of about $300,000 on the water works of this city, and from a mile and a half to two miles of extensions are added to the mains yearly. Z. C. M. I. On Main (East Temple) Street, a" little to the south of the Temple Block, stand the mammoth premises of Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution, familiarh^ known as the Big Co-op. This vast establishment, for a new country, has branch houses in Prove, Ogden, and Logan (in Utah) and Soda Springs (Idaho) ; whilst numerous local retail "Co-op." establishments are to be found throughout the regions occupied by the "Mor- mons ;" in fact, nearly every settlement, large or small, has its co-operative store. Co-operation was a favorite subject with the late Brigham Young ; and he was the founder of this Institution, and its first President. It was organized October 16th, 1868, and commenced busi- ness in March, 1869. To-day, it is one of the solidest mercantile firms in the Avorld. Its business, last year, amounted to between three and four millions of dollars. The shareholders in Z. C. M. I. are numbered by the hundreds, but the " Mormon " Church, as a com- AND ITS ENVIRONS. innnity. tlii'oii.i:,-!) its 'J'l'ustcc in 'I'rust, is tlic licaviot shareholder. ]>ri*iluuii Young's sueeessor, Prest. John Taylor, is also the i)resent President of the Jnstitnlion. whilst General Pfora(;e S. Eldridge, one of Utah's oldest business men, is its Superintendent. The motto of this Institution is a subject of much eomment. It is " Holiness to the Lord," and is ae- eei)ted bv believers as a partial fuliillment of the Bible Pro])hesy: "In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, Holiness to the Lord. "^ * Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall l)e holiness unto the Lord of Hosts." Zeeh. xiv, 20. The main building has a de])th of 81 T) feet and a frontage of 98 feet. It has four stories including cel- lars. Its stock of goods at last stock-taking was valued at about a million dollars. This establishment naturally draws the trade of the orthodox "Mormons" but by reason of its immense and varied stock (5f goods, it also does a large outside or " Gentile " business. Connected with Z. 0. M. I. is tlie largest Boot and Shoe Manufactory between Chicago and San Francisco. The factory is situated on First South Street, a little west of Ahun. This branch of the business was estab- lished in 1879, and now empWs 150 hands. Last year 10,000 pairs of boots and 65,000 pairs of shoes, wortli $1()0,000, were turned out by this establishment. In price, these products compete with goods manufactured elsewhere, and for quality are preferred by theLTonians to the imported article. Mr. W. H. Rowe is the super- intendent and manager of this department, and ^Ir. D. ^I. McAllister, the secretary. Another branch of man- ufacture has lately been associated with this factory. 32 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY that of making overalls, jumpers and shirts, in which it successfully competes Avith San Francisco Chinese labor. Forty hands are employed in this department and about 30 dozen pairs are turned out daily. The power for running the machinery, which in both branches is of the latest and most improved kinds, is supplied by a lo-horsepower steam engine, and a 7-horsepower Otto silent gas engine. A tannery (established in the north-western portion of the city,) into which many improvements have lately been introduced, is also connected with this de- partment of what is truthfully styled the. "Big Co-op." MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES. Besides the home industries sustained by Z. C. M. I., the city boasts of quite a number of. manufacturing en- terprises, chief among which are the Salt Lake Foun- dry and Machine Company's works, one block south of the Utah Central Railway depot, manufacturers of engines, boilers, etc. Davis; Howe & Co's Iron and Brass Foundry and Machine Shop, First West Street. The Silver Iron and Machine Works, North Temple Street. Haines & Sons, Boiler-makers, South Temple Street ; and the Machine Shops of the Utah Central Railway Co., Locomotive and Car Builders. All the above institutions are constantly running to their ut- most capacity, and turn out work second to none. The furniture manufactory of Henry Dinwoodey, is the oldest and largest of its kind in the Territory, having been established in 1857. There are besides several others ; the Co-operative Furniture Company, being one of the leading manufacturing firms in this line. The Great Western Match Factory, situated on ANT) ITS KXVIROXS. 33 Third East Street, although but recently established, is one of the most nourishing industries of the city. The factory has facilities for making about 100 gross per day, and at present are making 15 to 20 gross of boxes per day. Next in importance to Z. C. M. I., in the manufac- ture of boots and shoes, is the f^ictory of the Messrs. Solomon Bros. & Gold, who employ 45 hands, and turn out annually 21,000 pair shoes and 0,000 pair boots, valued at $75,000. Elias Morris, Esq., ])esides being one of our leading- builders and contractors, is extensively employed in manufacturing Fire Brick, -Tiles, Cement Pi])ing and Plaster Paris of superior quality. Two soap manufactories are fully employed and turn out large quantities of No. 1 soap annually. Messrs. Taylor, Romney & Armstrong are the lead- ing manufacturers of doors, sash, mouldings, etc., be- sides doing a large building and contracting business. The Messrs. Watson Bros, are one of the leading contracting and building firms of the city, besides do- ing considerable business as monumental stonecutters. While the mercantile business of the city is per- haps overcrowded, there is ample room for the profit- able investment of much capital in manufacturing in- dustries of various kinds. With the establishment of a few more factories, machine shops and the like, the city will be more sure of a steady growth both in popu- lation and commercial importance. MERCANTILE BUSINESS. The mercantile business of the city, both whole- sale and retail, is rather, if anvthing, overdone. The 34 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY wholesale merchants of Salt Lake, however, do nearly all the importing for the entire Territory south of Og- den. The leading wholesale firms are Z. C. M. I., Messrs. Wm. Jennings & Sons., Walker Bros, and F. Auerbach & Bro., dealers in general merchandise ; Spencer Clawson, in dry good and notions; Clark, Eldredge & Co., in groceries and crockery ware. RAILROADS. The completion of the trans-continental railroad, and its tributary, the Utah Central Railway (which was opened for traffic on January 10th, 1870), was an important event to the business interests of Salt Lake City, and was the occasion of no little rejoicing in all circles. It was the inauguration of a new era in the growth and commerce of the city. Hitherto all the necessaries and comforts of life which could not be pro- duced at home had to be freighted a thousand miles by ox and mule teams, and all those who migrated to this country in the early days of its settlement, came by the same conveyances, and sometimes new-comers made their way hither from the Missouri River in hand-cart trains. The journey occupied several months, and was a weary drag over vast and arid plains and toilsome mountains. As soon as the Utah Central Railroad was com- pleted into Salt Lake City, the Utah Southern road (now incorporated into the Utah Central system,) w^as commenced and pushed its way through Utah, Juab, Millard and Beaver counties to Frisco, connect- ing by rail the most thrifty agricultural districts and mining districts of southern Utah. Transportation was thus afforded for the rich and abundant harvests AN[) ITS KNVIKOXS. 35 of the valleys and the miiKTal wealth of the iiioun- tain gorges. Work was conniieiiced on the Salt Lake hraiich of the Denver c^ Uio CJrande Ivailway late in the season of 1881, was pushed forward with the zeal eharacteris- tie of its management, and through eonnection was made between Salt Lake and Denver on the 30th day of March, 1883, and shortly after w^as extended to Ogden, and connection made Avith the Central Pacific Railway to California. HOTELS. The city is well provided with first-class hotel ac- commodations, the principal houses being the Walker, Continental and Metropolitan ; the Valley House, Clift House, and White House also offer first-class accommo- dations to tourists and visitors, and at reasonable rates. WARM SPRING BATH HOUSES. The Warm Sulphur Springs, situated in the extreme north-w^est of the ciiy, are justly celebrated for their medicinal properties, many invalid tourists visiting Salt Lake City for the special purpose of being benefitted by the pleasant and renovating baths to be had in its tepid waters. The bath houses are reached by street cars from the Eagle Emporium corner. PLEASURE RESORTS. Liberty Pakk, situated in the south-east suburbs, and reached by street car line, although but recently acquired by the municipality, is a most pleasant and healthy place to visit during the summer months. 36 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY It was laid out originally by the late President Young, and called the "Forest Farm." There are pleasant drives and walks, beautifully and abundantly shaded by native forest trees. "Calder's Farm," about 3 miles south of town, is another suburban pleasure resort, provided with boats, swings, dancing floors, games, etc., incidental to such places. " Washington Square," between East Temple and First East Street, is the chartered ground ot the Olym- pic Club of this city, and on gala days is the scene of bicycle and foot races, base ball and cricket matches, and other games and amusements. " Fuller's Hill," in the Tenth Ward, is another pleasure resort of considerable attraction, and is well patronized by the public. FORT DOUGLAS. One of the most interesting points in the vicinity is Fort Douglas, a well-built, full-regiment post, located on a plateau about three miles east of and 500 feet above the city. The post and grounds are laid out with taste, a small stream of mountain water making the culture of trees, shrubbery, grass and flowers possible. The ele- vation gives almost a bird's-eye view of the city and valley. In the distance lies the Dead Sea of America, a Ijlue band drawn along the base of island mountains the vistas between which are closed by more distant ranges. In the north, the Promontory divides the wa- ters, ending far out in the lake. Across Jordan Valley the Oquirrh rises to a lofty bight, white with snow great part of the year, and often veiled by clouds. On AND ITS ENVIRONS. 37 the south, low hills appearing to be thrown out in eche- lon, complete the enclosure of Jordan Valley, which lies an unrolled map at one's feet. ENSIGN PEAK. To JSeI': the city at its best, one must climb to the rock-crowned sunnnit of Ensign Peak. This dome-like mountain rises directly back of the town, and from it one may look down upon houses, streets, trees and green squares. At the right lies the lake, dull hued, motion- less and passive amid its grand surroundings. Huge islands of rock dot its surface, but no signs of life are to be seen. To the south stretches the beautiful valley, mountain guarded, fertile and bathed at its lower end in a thin blue veil of haze. Cloud-] )atches lie on the fertile slopes, the mountains are full of canons ; the Jor- dan is a narrow line of silver, and above the scene stretches the blue arch of the sky. To the east is Fort Douglas; and beyond that Emigration canon, from whose mouth the "Mormons" had their first view of the secluded region, which they chose for their home. The Plateau immediately at the foot of Ensign Peak, or between it and the city, is known as Arsenal Hill. The canon directly beneath on the east, is City Creek Canon, the principal source of water for the city of the Saints. In it are situated the reservoirs of the Municipal Water Works. The scenery a short distance up the canon, is very beautiful, wild and romantic. BLACK ROCK. Black Rock, Garfield Landing and Clinton's Ho- tel, some 20 miles west of the city on the shores of the 38 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY, AND ITS KNVII.'ONS. 39 Great Salt Lake, are reached by the Utah and Nevada Railway. Duriii'i; the suniimT seascjii two (rains niu daily to these eelebrated bathiii;j^ points, and no tourist should miss the opportunity thus aflordul of taking- a bath in the buoyant waters of the lake. It is esiiniated that some fifty or sixty thousand persons bathed in the waters of the lake at these i)oints during the season of 1882. In the long sunny days of June, July and August, the water becomes deliciously warm, and it is nnieh warmer than ocean water a month earlier and later. Ample accommodations are afforded the visitor to make a few^ days' sta}^ at these points, a rare 0])portu- nity to invalids, who would be benefitted mucli by a short sojourn, not only from the bathing, but by breath- ing the cool saline air of the lake. The water of the lake contains 22 per cent, of pure salt, making it so buoyant that the least possible effort is necessary to keep one's equilibrium, as sinking is out of the question. Care however must be taken that the water is not inhaled into the mouth and nostrils, lest the bather is strangled. CHURCHES. The City of Salt Lake is well provided with good churches, if we consider the number of citizens not con- nected with the " Mormon" Church. St. Mark's Church. — Sixteen years ago St. Mark's Episcopal Church was established in this city by D. S. Tuttle, bishop of this diocese. The cathedral is a fine structure, built of stone, having a handsome auditorium, while beneath there is a basement which is used for 40 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY AND ITS KNVIKONS. 41 Sabbath school, and also for a day school in the iniiii- arv department. \lv\. \\. l^itnian, late of {'((kskilb New ^'()l•k, is the jjrcsent })astor. St. Paul's Iilpiscopal — is also a stone structure and is well adapted to the wants of the inendjershij); the congregation is presided over by Rev. Armstrong, who lias had the j)astorate ever since the church was erected, some two or three years ago. Methodist Church. — One of the most commanding buildings, in size and architectural a])pearance, in the city is the First Methodist Church, a brick structure of modern style. Rev. T. C. Iliff is the present pastor, and also has supervision over all the Methodist chai-ges in Utah. Congregational Church — has a very faithful and de- voted minister in the person of Rev. F. T. Lee, who was formerly on the staff of the Confjregatioualisf. Presbyterian Church. — Rev. R. G. McXeice is the pastor of the Presbyterian church. The church build- ing is on the corner with a street on the west and south. In the centre is the "Octagon," now used in con- nection with the boarding department of the Salt Lake Collegiate histitute. Baptist — A few months ago a mission society of the Baptist church was established here, and services are held in a hall rented for that purpose and for a })ros- perous Sabbath-school lately organized. Catholic Church. — The Catholic Church has a good chapel, and besides this, services are held in the chapel at the Hospital of the Holy Cross, and also at St. ]\hiry's Academy. Father Scanlan has supervision of the work in this city, and is aided by Fathers Kii'ley and Don- ahue. 42 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE (TTY, SCHOOLS. Salt Lake City is divided into twenty-one scliool districts, in each of which a common school is main- tained ten months in each year. These schools are partly sustained by taxes and partly l)y tuition fees. All the branches of a common school education are taught, by in most instances com[)etent and interested teachers. Besides the district schools, the city boasts of quite a number of private institutions of learning and church schools, maintained by the various religious so- cieties of the city. Chief among which may be men- tioned the schools of Hammond Hall (Congregational), Rowland Hall and St. Mark's academy (E]iiscopal), the Salt Lake Collegiate Institute (Presbyterian), and the Hebrew School which has just been opened for the edu- cation of Jewish Children. The Deseret University, situated on Second West and First North Streets, under the management of Prof. John R. Park and an able and efhcient corps of assistants, is the leading educational institution of the city and Territory. All the higher and many of the technical branches of education are there taught. It numbers among its students the youth of both sexes from all parts of the Territory, and some from Idaho and Arizona. One of its special features is the Nor- mal department, for the training of teachers for the common schools of the Territory. The publicf school system of the city and territory is but yet in its infancy. No aid has been received from public funds, or other sources, for their main- tenance, and until very recently teachers were paid en- AM) ITS KXVIHOXS. 48 tiroly by tuition fees, and the schoollionses built by sul)S(.'i'ipti()ii. Scliools liave liowever been maintained in most of the city districts ahnost continnously since its first settlement. The results of Avhich are very gratifyinLi", very few of the children born here cannot read or write. According to the educational statistics given in the census for 1880, the per centage of illiteracy in Ctah is nnu'li below the average, and below more than lialf of the States and Territories of the Union, and the per ceata;^e about on a par with, the grjat State of Massachusetts, notwithstanding tlie unlimited educa- tional facilities of the latter. In respect to the amount per capita of her school population which Utah has invested in school property, she stands at the head of many older and more wealthy and populous States, and not far behind some of the foremost States of the Union, with an investment per capita of $8 ; while North Carolina has invested less than 55 cents ; Georgia, $2.03 ; Kentucky less than $4 ; Virginia, $2.55; Oregon, So; Wlisconsin, $13.03; Min- nesota, §14.55 ; Delaware, $10.35. When it is remembered that in nearly every State in the Union, vast sums of money derived from the sale of lands or from the establishment of special funds, are devoted to school purposes, and that these sums amount to tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars aiuuially, in many of the States, while the scliools of L^tah have never yet received any assistance whatever in this manner, the fiict that she occupies her present advanced position in respect to education, speaks volumes in her praise. 44 (lUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY.
