The publishers of "Utah, Her Cities, Towns and Re- sources," etc., will not trespass upon public attention after the "prevailing fashion." In the col- lection of facts and figures and in the preparation of the book itself, dilligent efforts have been made to obtain the latest and most reliable data and to present the same in a manner devoid of ambiguity or "endless repetition." Books, papers, statistics and records have been utilized as sources of information in the premises, and where the same were inaccessible, gentlemen in posi- tions to be informed in the behalf sought, and absolutely reliable, have courteously contributed valuable history. The book is submitted to readers and the public with assurances that no means necessary to its compilation and completion have been spared, and that expense in secur- ing accuracy in ever)- department has never been considered. The Publishers desire to make their sincere acknowledgements for many kind acts and much good advice from the citizens, contributors and press of Utah, particularly of Salt Lake City and Ogden, and indulge a hope that the result of their endeavors may not prove wholly disappointing.

PROBABLY no western commonwealth affords such fascination to the traveler, such attrac- tion for the settler, such allurements for the investor, or such satisfaction to the health- seeker as Utah Territory. It has been, not inaptly, called the Switzerland of America, and while there are no Jungfraus or Mont Blancs whose brows are bathed in perpetual snow, there are, nevertheless ]ic;iks almost as lofty, whose abrupt ascendency from the valleys clothes them with a sphynx-like rug- gedness that makes them majestic in their grandeur. The area of Utah was acquired by the United States from Mexico in 1848, under the provisions of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, although it was first settled up by Brigham Young, July 24, 1847. It was organized as a Territory by act of Congress in 1850, and at that period it comprised all that section of country lying between the eastern boundary of California and the western border of the Great Plains. Nevada, Colorado, and Wyoming were subsequently carved out of its area, reducing it to its present limits. It now has an area of 84,870 square miles, or 52,601,600 acres. Geographically, Utah is situated between the par- allels of 37 and 42 degrees north latitude, and the meridians of 109 and 114 degrees west of Greenwich. It, is on the same parallels as Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Southern Illinois, Kentucky, Virginia, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Corea. Utah belongs to the great plateau of the Rocky Mountains, its valleys being elevated from 2, TOO to 7,000 feet above sea-level, while its mountain peaks reach a height of 12,000 to 13,500 feet. One-half the Territory is on the western side of the Wasatch Mountains and within what is called the Great Basin. Most of the inhabited portion of Utah lies at the western base of the Wasatch range and on the eastern side of the Great Basin. The Wasatch Mount- ains enter the Territory on the north at about the mid- dle, extend nearly due south, until near the southern boundary, where they turn to the westward and pass out into Nevada, forming in Utah the letter ".I." Their average height will not fall far below 10,000 feet above the sea. Nearly east of Salt Lake City the Uintah mount- ains, still loftier than the Wasatch, abut on them and run eastward until they pass out of the Territory. The eastern part of the Territory is drained by the Rio Colorado and its tributaries. West of the Wasatch the drainage is into the lakes and sinks which have no outlet, the largest of which is Great Salt Lake, with an elevation of 4,260 feet, a shore line of 350 miles, and an area of about 3,500 square O r r C '^ n - r . \ <- / u/ i l N c. miles. Three rivers, the Bear, Weber and Jordan, empty their waters into the Great Salt Sea. In Utah agriculture is dependent almost entirely upon irrigation. The system of cultivating the soil is to start canals at the mouths of the canons, where dams are built. These canals are run from the canons out upon the more level grounds of the valleys, and there subdivided into branch canals, and these are again divid- ed into laterals leading to every farm, so long as there is water to be distributed. Each field has little furrows a foot or more apart and parallel with each other. Into these furrows the water is turned. Each farm has the right to use the water so many hours once a week or oftencr, or less frequently, depending upon the season and the supply. Many large and expensive canals have been constructed in Utah for the purpose of redeeming the arid lands, the most recent ones being the Bear River Canal, in Northern Utah, and a canal in southern Utah. The latter was built by the enterprising citi/m, William II. Rowe and his associates, and thereby they have successfully brought under cultivation a large sec- tion of Utah's most fertile land. During the year 1890 there were 423,364 acres of land under cultivation in Utah, and there were 735,226 acres under irrigating ditches. The larger part of the 52,601,000 acres in Utah is barren and mountainous and cannot be tilled. Nearly one-fourth of this area has been surveyed. The United States Land office, since March, 1869, has disposed of 21,887,642 acres of public lands. It has been estimated by competent experts that by utilizing all the available streams during the irrigating season 2,304,000 acres can be redeemed. In September, 1890, an Irrigation Congress, at which delegates were present from all parts of the arid region, met in Salt Lake City. They memorialized Congress to give national assistance to the cause of irrigation. Should their petition be granted, a great impetus will be given the reclamation of these lands in Utah, and many new settlements will spring into existence. There are twenty-five counties in the Territory. A brief description of them may not be out of place at thin point. Beaver County, which has a population of 3,340, is located on the western side and a little south of the r of the Territory. It has 6,558 acres under cul- tivation. Box Elder County, with a population of 7,642, has 96,177 acres under cultivation. The county includes the greater portion of the Great Salt Lake and is located in the northwestern corner of the Territory. Dry farming is successful there because the soil retains the moisture for a long time. The Bear River Canal ii in this county. Cache County has a population of 16,600. It is in the northern part of Utah. The general elevation of the land under cultivation u about 6,000 feet, and iu wheat crop is the largest in the Territory. It cultivates 54,301 acres. Davis County has 6,469 inhabitants. It lies between the Wasatch Mountains and the Great Salt Lake, and extends from the canon of the Weber River, on the north, nearly to Salt Lake City. It cultivates 23, 1 60 acres. Emery County lies east of tin- center of the Territory. It has a population of 4,866 and cultivates 14,363 acres. <;.-irfield County has a population of 2,457. It lies in the southern part of Utah and cultivates 1,716 acres. 41, and lias 1,461 acres under cultivation. Iron County has 2,68:i inhabitants. It is located in the southwestern part of the Territory below Heaver County and cultivates l.v_'3 acres. Juab County, with a population of 5,582, is located in the center of the western side of the Territory. It cultivates !>,489 acres. Kane County is on the extreme southern border of the Territory adjoining Arizona. Its population is 1,685 and it has 1,087 acres under cultivation. Millard County extends from the mountain ranges of the central part of the Territory westward to Nevada. It has 4,033 inhabitants and cultivates 8,l;Vj n Morgan County is in northern Utah, lying east of Davis County. It has 5,fi:;:t acres under cultivation and a population of 1,780. Piute County lies north of Garfield County. It has 2,842 inhabitants and cultivates 7,779 acres. Rich County is in the northeastern corner of Utah, adjoining Idaho and Wyoming. It has a population of 1,627, and cultivates 16,726 acres. Salt Lake County is southeast of the Great Salt Lake and lies between the summit of the Wasatch mountains, on the east, and theOquirrh mountains, on the west. It has a population of 58,457 and a cultivated area of 80,665 acres. San Juan County lies adjacent to Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, in the southeastern corner of the Territory. Its population is 3m the Colorado state line. < >/okeritc or mineral wax-is found near Thistle, Utah. (iyp-um i- found in extensive <|iiantities near Nephi, in .lu. ili County, and i- used largely in the manufacture of plaster. :i' nt is also manufactured on a large scale from native minerals. Lithographic stone is found near Santaqtiin, Utah County, and in other localities in the Territory. Of liinc-tniic I'tah has a surfeit. Much of it is converted into lime, while some of it is used as flux for hfBMM. (Jr.inite is hewn out of the large boulders at Wasatch, a station on the KiolJrande \\i--t.-rn railroad, not far from Salt Lake City. It is used fm- building purpo-es and Hclgian block* for paving. A'hite, variegated and mottled marble has been found in many place*, but. for lack of machinery, it has not lii-eii ulili/ed to :my extent. There i- alo much -late in the Territory. Utah excel* in the quality of her Hand-tune. It in found in inexhaustible quantities, and ranges from almost a blood-red to pure white. The sulphur deposits at Cove Creek extend over a large area, but the depth of the deposit is not known. The sulphur taken from the mines is 98 per cent. pure. There are also extensive deposits in Beaver County. These sulphur mines are the only ones in the United States, and when fully operated and developed will be able to supply a large extent of country. Ores of iron, magnetite, red, brown, ochrous and fibrous hematite ore, arc found all over the Territory. The great deposits, however, are in Iron County, and occur thickly in the form of massive outbur- fissures in granite, from Cedar City to the Santa Clara. a belt five to ten miles wide and sixty long. These ledges, which carry from sixty to seventy per cent, of metallic iron, very pure, are from twenty-five to seventy-five feet thick. Distance from rail and mar- ket, and the high price of labor, have prevented the iitili/ation of this storehouse of iron. Near Salina, Sevier County, there are deposits of almost pure rock salt found in the mountains. The manufacture of salt around the (Jreat Salt Lake has long been a great industry. During 1S01 there were har- voted 104,000 tons, of which 71,000 were sold. For many years the method of manufacture was simple. On the borders of the lake, the water of which contains 17 per cent, of salt, there are many lagoons. The rise of the water in the winter season filled these lagoons, tin- heat of the summer's sun evaporated the water, and tin- salt which remained was shoveled up and made ready for the market. Now these lagoons an- tilled by pumps. some of which raise a million gallons of the saline waters in ten hours. Much of this water is used by tin- silver mills, and for dairy and table purpo-c-. Utah supplies the entire west with salt. In addition to the minerals named 1'tah has a salt- petre bed, antimony, quicksilver, arsenic, /.inc. asbcsto-, and in fact every mineral found in the West except tin. Besides this it has quite a complement of gems, includ- ing topaz, garnets, chalcedony, amethyst, etc. In December, 1391, natural gas was discovered in large quantities, within a few miles of Salt Lake City, on the -hores of the Cn-at Salt Lake. Sufficient devel- opments have been made to insure it- permanency, but within a short distance of win-re the gas was found it is known that gas from this same underground reservoir has been used for lighting ami heal ing purpose- fur the pait seven years. Three OOBlpaaia* hart i'iii.-1-lv I-,,,, organized to bore for gas, and their operation having already proved successful the result for I'tah in (In- direction of material pro-pciity will equal, if it doc- not what has happened in Ka-l-ni localities where similar >|iiirrh Range, which here rises perhaps 2,000 feet .il...\c the general level of the country, making the abso- lute altitude 0,000 to 7,000 feet. One goes there from Salt Lake, about seventy miles, via Lehi, on the U. P. Railway. The Rio (Jrande Western has just com- pleted a branch to Tinlie from Springville, going in via IInm:ins\ ille to Kunka, swinging round Eureka Hill past the Man >th shaft and tlie hi-; in.n mine back of Silver City. The district has been worked more or less for twenty yean. Within the last year or two the impres- sion has grown steadily that there in no better mining district in the Tinted Slates. The mines occur in a series of ore channels, with n<> defined l...im.l.m. -. hut following a generally definable course, striking north and south in fact, in a belt of limestone about two miles wide, lyin-_' between i|iiarl/ite on the west and erupthe ro.ks on tlie east.

There is a chloridizing mill of ten stamps in the dis- trict, which is not much used, and a leaching mill of 30 or 60 stamps has been rigged up during the past year from old dismantled mills. This mill is mainly employed in working up old mine dumps. Most of the ores are dry ores carrying not more than 12 or 15 per cent, of lead and they are sold to the smelters and carried to Salt Lake or Denver for reduction. The Eureka-Hill and the Bullion-Beck are very well equipped for deep and heavy work. Both of these mines have reached their llth or 12th level. The Mam- moth, Centennial-Eureka, Keystone, German, Northern Spy, Eagle, and other groups have steam hoists, pumps, etc., and are fairly equipped. Most of them have had their years " in the wilderness." The Eureka-Hill has had eight years of steady production, in which it has sold about 100,000 tons of probably $50 ore. Its profits have not been far from $2,000,000. The Bullion-Beck has earned, net, in the past three years, probably more than $1,000,000. Neither of these companies publish their dividends. The Centennial-Eureka has a long stretch of the mar- velous ore channel. Oaring the five years previous to 1890 but 1,365 tons of ore were taken out. In 1890, the output was 3,667 tons, which sold for about $550,- .000; and the past year, without pushing, the ore sales were about $400,000. The Mammoth had paid thirteen dividends, summing up $210,000, down to the first day of 1890. In that year they paid $560,000. The Genuine group, the Eagle group, Northern Spy, the Godiva group, the Yorkville, the Madera Consolid- ated, the Marion Consolidated, the Plutus, the Sioux group, the Snowflake, the Governor, the Iron Blossom, the Wolf, the Cave, the Hungarian, the British, Cop- peropolis, the Undine, the Sunbeam, the Treasure, the Tesora, the Turk, the Eastern and Daisy, the Hard Winter, the Belcher Consolidated, a group of eight claims, the Lucky Boy, the Alamo, the Golden Ray, a group of six claims, the Isona, the Retribution, and many more "too numerous to mention," are being brought forward year by year to the same stage as the foregoing. Many of these Tintic mines, and not the least, the mines about Diamond, have immense outcrops, nearly covering the full surface area. The ore is found [in bunches and chimneys; greater depth will surely show concentration in large bodies. Experience has demon- strated that these mines as a rule need only to be opened and wrought to become profitable. The Dragon or Tintic iron mine ships 6,050 tons of fluxing iron ore to the smelters near Salt Lake City every year. George Arthur Rice & Co. operate a sampling mill at Eureka. DEL MONTE DISTRICT. This district is four miles north of Eureka. The railroad passes within four miles of the mines, which are immense bodies of lead ore, carrying about three ounces of silver per ton and a large percentage of iron. The more these mines are exploited the larger and cleaner appears to be the ore; 1,200 feet of openings have been made in ore which is from 10 to 45 feet in thickness. WEST TINTIC. This district is in Tooele County, but one goes there from Eureka, the capital town of the Tintic mines, and hence mention of it is made here. It is a twenty-eight mile drive from Eureka to Rockwell's ranch on Cherry Creek, and about five miles farther to the mines. The mineral belt is very wide, the country low, smooth hills. Amongst the mines of consequence are the Silver Star, the Scotia, the Midgley, the North- western, the Little Chief, the Stonewall Jackson, the 88, the Virginia, the Brunswick, the Grand Cross, the Trib- une, the Flying Dutchman, and many others. THE DESERT. Fifteen miles west of Rockwell's (on Cherry Creek) a bold and rugged granite mountain rises out of the desert, and this is called Desert Mining District. On the west end of this mountain occur valuable copper mines, the ores, rich in copper, carrying gold and silver also. There is Desert Mountain, fourteen miles north of the granite mountain spoken of, and the Oasis, the Columbia and the Drumm mining districts in the same region. "There is ore enough here in sight now," says an intelligent correspondent, "to tax the carrying capacity of any single-track railroad. A road could be run out here from Salt Lake via Ophir, Eureka, West Tintic and the districts mentioned to North Dugway, Clifton and on to Deep Creek, passing through mines for nearly every mile of the way, and with sufficient water; mines that will never make much stir in the min- ing world, either,' until such a railroad sha,ll be run." 10 SUMMIT COUNTY. The mining field which begins on the heads of the Cottonwoods and of American Fork, within sight of Salt Lake City, and extends ten miles over the first ridge of the Wasatch, eastward, is thrown by the wind- ing mountain crests which culminate in that vicinity into four counties. The more important, however, are known as Uintah Mining District, in Summit County, and as Blue Ledge Mining District, in Wasatch County. These are in reality one district divided by a geograph- ical county line to which mineral veins pay no attention. PARK CITY. A town of 5,000 inhabitants, connected with Salt Lake by the Union Pacific, and also by the Utah Cen- tral, is the mining town of the district. It is an incor- porated town, has a city government, fire department, watei works and all the appurtenances, jail, bank, hotel, churches, schools, opera house, Masons, Oddfellows, etc., of a city. The streets have been worked and graded and drained till they are very good. The absolnte'alti- tude of Main street at the hotel is about 7,500 feet above the sea. Three or four gulches join each other at the head of Main street, and a little above, and up these, rising in two miles 2,000 feet, are the mines. The Mackintosh sampling mill is at the lower end of this street, near the depots. The Crescent concentrating and sampling mill and smelter, and the Marsac (Daly) thirty-stamp chlor- idizing mill, are in the town, while the Ontario forty- stamp chloridizing mill stands at the head of the main street. The Ontario mine is a mile and a half up Ontario Gulch, south of the mill. THE ONTARIO AND OTHER GREAT MINI The Ontario vein for 4,600 feet on its course is owned by the Ontario Silver Mining Company; for 1,500 feet next westward by the Daly Mining Company; the next 2,800 feet, going westward, is owned by men inter- ested in these two companies. Here the Anchor Min- ing Company takes the vein for 12,688 feet. From tli<> Ontario, westward, the ground gains in altitude, so that the sixth Ontario level is the Daly eighth, and t)u> Anchor seventeenth. The Anchor Company sank a shaft to its twelfth level, cross-cutting the vein, and drove in a drain tunnel 6,600 feet, intersecting the shaft on the twelfth level. The Ontario sixth level drain tunnel isextended through the Ontario and Daly ground. an<>wd.r, nil, machinery, oandlea, groceries, N. Y A S.

The exoMfl of dislmrsemenU above receipt* is drawn, 11 of course, from surplus account. Of these items, the first eight, amounting to $806,731.52, and part of the ninth and tenth items, were expended in Utah. Of the $12,000,000, Salt Lake value, produced in 1890 by the mines of Utah, it is safe to say that three-fourths were expended in Utah. The Ontario kept up its usual rate of production in 1891; and the dividends paid carry the number to 187, aggregating $12,425,000. The mine has still a great amount of opened but unstoped ground above the 10th level. The selling price of the shares is from $40 to '$44; there are 150,000 shares, par $100: holders have come to repose trust in them as if they were United States bonds. The mine has passed the monthly divi- dend of 50 cents a share but about six months, when No. 2 hoist was burned down, in fourteen years. No one familiar with it doubts that this will continue fif- teen or twenty years longer. The Daly mine raised 23,870 tons of (dry) ore in UALY MILLING AND HOISTING WORKS. 1890, 20,795 tons of which were milled by the Russell process of leaching, and 2,351 tons were sold to the smelters. Sale of the proceeds of this ore brought the company $834,818, of which $450,000 was paid in divi- dends, making 46 dividends pail by the mine since the mill started in February, 1886, aggregating $1,762,- 500. During the year the working shaft was sunk to the 10th level, and a second working shaft was started east of the old one, which has been sunk to the Ontario 6th level drain tunnel. The Russell leaching process has been substituted in the Marsac (Daly) mill for the amalgamating process, it having been established that it does better work at less cost and with a much less expensive plant, both in first cost and maintenance. The usual rate of production was maintained during 1891, and $450,000 was paid in dividends. The Anchor property is a group of claims 1,200 feet in width by 12,538 feet long, beginning near the west end of the Daly and running west, comprising the old Utah and White Pine properties, and many other con- tiguous claims. The drain tunnel above mentioned cut a vein 18 to 70 feet in thickness of (mainly) concen- trating ore. The company have a mill which will dress 130 tons of crude ore down into about 40 tons of con- centrates per day. The mill cost nearly $40,000. The mine output in nine months of 1891 was 26,860 tons crude ore, which made 7,686 tons of concentrates. Con- centrating costs 93 cents per ton; hauling, 78 cents; aver- age wages, $2.61 per day; total cost of mining, concentrat- ing, sampling, and delivering on cars, $7.08 per ton of crude ore. Large chambers have been cut out, the openings exposing more and more ore. The Daly West ground is a group of claims about 2,000 feet wide by 3,000 feet long, joining the Daly on the west and the Anchor ground in part on the north. Tt belongs to the owners of the Ontario and the Daly, and to John J. Daly, and can be cheaply drained and exploited and laid off properly for ore extraction through or by means of the workings in those mines. A working shaft was start- ed upon the property in 1891, and it is understood to be the intention of the owners to proceed to the opening and working of the mine. The Woodside Company own eight claims in Woodside Gulch, out of which they took $444,000 in 1889. In 1890 a working shaft was sunk 500 feet, a good hoist put on, and the second and fifth levels opened; enough ore was extracted about 670 tons to pay expenses. Dur- ing the past season the vein was cut at still greater depth by a tunnel, and the output, while not so great as in 1889, was satisfactory. The Northland Nevada, or the May- flower, according as pending litigation shall be decided comprises a group of claims near the Woodside, out of which, in a contact between lime and quartzite, the owners extracted 1,560 tons of ore in 1889, and 2,629 tons in 1890, when they were enjoined pending the settlement of title, and obliged to close down. The body of ore in dispute is regarded as one of the best and most promising in the district. The Massachusetts (old Empire), comprising twenty claims, lies about one mile west of the original Ontario ground. It is well equipped, and_ the main working shaft has reached the sixth level. A fork, at least, of the Ontario vein is believed to run through this ground. The Alliance (old Sampson) is a group of eight claims, immediately east of Pinyon Hill, on a line west with the original Ontario and Massachusetts; the Daly and Anchor diverge to the southwest. It is at the head of Webster and Walker Gulch, and much higher in altitude than the Massachusetts. The vein is in 12 limestone, is 15 feet thick, and strikes through Pinyon Hill southwesterly a mile or more, the Crescent and the Apex each owning a part of it. The working shaft is intersected by the Hanauer tunnel at a depth of 520 feet. This tnnnel has been extended beyond the shaft on the vein (as a level) to the end line of the property and to a connection with the Crescent working incline for the benefit of the Crescent Company. Meantime a drain tunnel has been driven into the vein at a point 1,002 feet below the Hanauer tunnel. This, called the Alliance tunnel, is 5,37*2 feet long to the point where it strikes the vein, 830 feet west of the east end line of the property. Crosscutting and running west in the vein shows the vein to vary in width from 20 to 40 feet; to pitch about 15 degrees from the vertical; to be in limestone still; and to be filled with quartz, brecciated lime, clay, talc, iron, and manganese, with occasional bunches of ore. The tunnel has been driven west on the vein several hundred feet. It was excavated on contract at $18 a foot. The property is a steady though not (as yet) heavy shipper. The Crescent property comprises about 90 acres, the ore occurring in a channel 30 rods wide and a quarter of a mile long, falling off to the northwest with the face of the hill and about 100 feet below the surface. This ore sheet crops out in the eastern face of Pinyon Hill, which is on that side a ledge about 400 feet high, and thin veins or fissures come occasionally to the surface from the ore body on the northwestern slope of the hill. Probably 100,000 tons of ore have been extracted and sold from this ore body, realizing to mine and smelter $1,500,000 $15 per ton and many thousands of tons of concentrating ore yet remain in the mine and on the various dumps. Dividends amounting to $228,020 have been paid. The Sampson (or Alliance) vein cuts across the head of the property, and is reached at a depth of about 400 feet by a 1,700-foot tunnel run in from the northwest. Upon this vein, which is here 50 feet wide, at the inner end of the tunnel, machinery has been placed, and a working incline sunk to the Hanauer tunnel, 400 feet. This saves pumping and gives 400 feet of dry sloping back. The ore in this vein is scattered; f i\ tons are concentrated into one. The output of the mine in firit-class ore and concentrates is about 6,000 tons a year, the grots value of which is not far from $40 a ton. The company have a concentrating and sampling mill, 5 miles of tramway between mine and mill, with an average grade of 400 feet per mile, boarding and lodging houses, etc. The property is regarded ax in bettt-r r<>iiti than ever before. Amongst propertied upon which a good deal of work ha* been done with more or less encouraging result*, but which have not M yet become steady and large producer*, may be mentioned the Apex, the Creole, the Deer Valley Consolidated, the Constellation, the < {olden Eagle, the Whitehead, the Putnam, the Meears Consolidated, the Roaring Lion, the Jupiter, the Silver Key, the Silver King, the New York, the Lucky Bill, the Comstock, the Xiem, the Steele, the Dolberg, the West Ontario, the Black Diamond and Nimrod, the Rosebud, the Reed, the Kerr, the Hoyt, the Park City, the Lundin and Anderson, the Roseamp and Glen, the Denhuff, the Creole No. 2, the Typo, the Kentucky, and the Hughes and Bogan. To these and many others the Park City Record calls attention as offering induce- ments to would-be investors in mining. Besides these there are hundreds of promising pros- pects scattered all over these hills from the Cotton- woods to Provo River, and from Deer Valley nearly to Midway, a district containing fifty square miles. The country is wet and the drift heavy, making the devel- opment of prospects into paying mines slow work. Very little capital on the outside has ever gone into the district. It has had to depend upon its output for the means of increasing its output. Yet it may be truly said that there is no district in the entire mining section which offers greater inducements to capital to engage in mining than this. The Park City Sampling Mill, owned by Mr. Rich- ard Mackintosh, of Salt Lake, samples about 30,000 tons of ore yearly from these mines. The yearly output of the district is about 75,000 tons of ore, worth something like $4,000,000 at Salt Lake. About 45,000 tons of ore are milled yearly by the Ontario and the Daly (Marsac) Mills. WA8ATCH COUNTY. Blue Ledge District lies on the eastern slope of the div- ide between the Provo and the Weber, and is in Wasatch County. The Glencoe is at present the leading or most promising mine in the district. It consists of a group of six or eight claims. In the old workings there was a strong continuous vein for 300 feet, but the ore was of low grade and carried too much zinc. An adit tunnel has been driven in 150 feet below the old workings, proving the vein to be much stronger and the ores richer and less base than on the level above. The com- pany have the past season constructed a large concen- trating mill, and tin- mine lias become a regular shipper of ore. The properly is about two miles a little south of east of the Ontario. Tliere is valuable property in M. Henry <4uloh to- wit, the Wilson & Barrett, the Lowell, the Mr Henry, the Hawkeye, the Moulder; and southward of the gulch the Free Silver, the Wasateh, and many others. All these are groups of from two to a dozen claims, and on some of them much heavy and expensive development work has been done. The McIIenry was worked under lease the past season, and several small shipment* of high grade ore were made. Work in tins vicinity is for the most part suspended, however, pending the excavation of a drain tunnel, the V" 13 superabundance of water in the ground having ex- hausted the operators. The 15th-level Ontario drain tunnel is well abreast of these properties now, and a thousand feet below them. A branch 2,000 feet long would drain them and permit their exploitation. Good judges do not doubt that there are great mines on McHenry Gulch, but the ground is broken and thrown about by eruptive dykes, and ore in paying bodies, if it exists, probably lies deep like the Consolidated Virginia bonanza. UTAH COUNTY A spur of the Wasatch striking eastwaroi and then northward forms the line in this locality between Sum- mit, Wagatch and Utah Counties, and also between Uintah, Snake Creek, and Blue Ledge districts, the latter in Wasatch, Snake Creek in Utah County Headquarters of all these districts, it will be un- derstood, is Park City. The mines in Snake Creek are about eight miles from Park City over a high divide, yet it is the best way out at present. The Southern Tier has been opened to a depth of 500 feet, and some shipments of 150-ounce ore have been made. Amongst other groups of claims upon which considerable work has been done are the Newell, the Steamboat, and the Levigneur claims. The formation is mixed and pretty badly broken and tumbled up on the surface. Nevertheless the miners are developing regular and continuous veins, which produce very good ore. There are copper lodes and ledges of marble; and at Midway, on the Provo River, in plain sight from the mines and not far away, there are hot springs and quite an area of the "formation" which in many places these hot springs deposit. With a railroad on the Provo River, Snake Creek will be heard of to some purpose in the mining world. A GREAT MINING FIELD. Before completing the review of Utah County mines, the reader may as well return to Salt Lake City, and take a general glimpse of the field. About thirty miles east of Salt Lake City, the counties of Salt Lake, Utah, Wasatch and Summit corner at the apex of Clayton's peak, in the heart of one of Utah's great mining fields. This field is from fifty to one hundred square miles in area; its absolute altitude is from 7,000 to 11,000 feet, and, it is extremely rugged. It is here that the Wasatch range is the highest and most massive. The formation is quartzite and lime, held up on granite shoulders. Much of it has been gouged and worn away by erosive agencies. From its culmination the water flows in all directions Ameri- can Fork, Little and Big Cottonwood, and Mill Creek westward, and small unnamed streams south, north and east, into the Provo and the Weber. The western limb of it is accessible only via the streams named from Salt Lake Valley. The eastern limb is reached by the Union Pacific from Echo on the Weber, and also by the Utah Central, directly over the Wasatch, through Par- ley's Canon and Parley's Park. A rail and tramway run to Alta at the head of Little Cottonwood from Brigham Junction, which is ten miles south of Salt Lake City. A good wagon road runs up American Fork, starting from the town of American Fork, which is about thirty miles south of Salt Lake City, to the Miller mine, probably 11,000 feet above the sea; and a wagon road also runs up Big Cottonwood to the lakes, and, crossing the divide, down Thayne's Canon to Parley's Park and Park City. The mines pay no attention to divides, although these are the boundary lines of counties and mining districts. The palmy days of the Cottonwoods and of Ameri- can Fork passed away a decade since, with the exhaus- tion of the surface bonanzas of such famous mines as the Emma, Flagstaff, Joab Lawrence, Miller, Prince of Wales, Reed miles from Salt Lake City. The mineral belt, beginning at Stock- ton, strikes southerly along the foothills of the western slope of the Oquirrh Range, a little diagonally with the range it-elf, throwing it up toward the summit further south, as at Dry- Canon, Ophir and I.ewiston. The belt is a mile or more in width. There appear to be two -\-ietn- of veins .it Stockton. one striking east and west, in which the main ore bodies make, the other north and south, thinner, less persistent, and appar- ently feeders. The formation is <|iiart/ite and lime, underlaid b\ svenitc. Granitic porphyrv dikes cross and disturb the veins. The gangue is oxide of iron. ( |ii.im. -path ami The ore is galena and carbonate free from base HIM.. very desirable as a flux for dryer ores.

I IK output from these mines ,md limn ;i Ophir and I>r\ (anon, lying along the range a little south, is 17 from 5,000 to 10,000 tons a year. Most of the mines are worked under lease. The Honerine is perhaps the leading mine at Stockton. Formerly it earned dividends, but in the past year work upon it was slack. An adit tunnel, 3,000 feet long, was deemed necessary to its further economical working; the company started this tunnel in 1888, but soon ceased work. Lately the work has been resumed. The mine is a bedded vein in magnesian limestone, crossed by dikes of porphyry and a series of thin fissure veins. It is equipped with steam hoist and is opened to the water level, about 800 feet, by working incline and levels 100 feet apart. Only 3 per cent, of the ore is shipped as mined; this is 64 per cent, lead and contains 34 ounces silver per ton and a little gold. Ninety-seven tons out of a hundred are run through jigs at a cost of one dollar per ton, and dressed down to 26 tons of concentrates, which is 53 per cent, lead and contains 23 ounces silver per ton and one dollar in gold. DRY CANON. At Dry Canon leasers and part owners are exploiting and extracting ore of good quality from a group of claims con- sisting of the Brooklyn, Elgin, Belfast, and Trade Wind. The owner of Mono has a tunnel which will strike the ledge at the depth of 1,200 feet, driven in 1,750 feet, nearly to its objective point. The Mono turned out a good deal of exceedingly rich ore from its surface bonanza, but it has long laid idle. The owners of the Hoistead, having settled some questions as to title, have resumed work on that valuable property. OPHIR. At Ophir there is a resurrection from the dead. The Ophir Hill mining Company own the Miners' Delight, literally a mountain of low grade ore, to concentrate which they have completed a mill capable of handling 150 tons a day. A hoist has been put up on the mine, operated by com- pressed air from the mill, which is 650 feet below the mill. The air is carried up in pipes and the ore dropped down on a tramway, a distance of 2,300 feet. The mine is an old one; it has long been worked under lease, and is not in very good shape. Righted up, it is expected to last the life of a gener- ation. The Utah Gem is a contact between lime and slate shale, about 12 feet ' thick, fed by a series of stringers from the footwall country. The ore makes in pipes, and can be selected to a very high grade. Mr. L. E. Holden, the owner, has put on a 10-stamp mill, and the last year milled 1,000 tons, saving 70 per cent, of the 25 ounces of silver in the rock; and shipped to market 150 tons of 140-ounce ore. There will be increased activity this year and a much larger output. The Monarch and Northern Light, long dormant on account of litigation, have become regular shippers of high-grade ore. The vein is large, dips to the southwest about 30 degrees, and is opened to a depth of 900 feet. The ore in the Monarch is a milling ore; in the Northern Light, a lead carbonate contain- ing chloride. The Buckhorn group has passed into the hands of a com- pany, and is to be systematically worked. It shipped about 1,000 tons of ore the past year. The company intend to erect a new concentrating mill near the town of Ophir, the old mill on the hill being no good. Besides these properties there are the North Star, with a 12- foot vein of ore; the Gladstone, the Chance, the Forest Group, all eligibly located, and, with scores and hundreds of others, awaiting the application of capital to make them contributors to the wealth of the whole country. The lack of railway transportation is the only drawback to the prosperity of Ophir, and south along the range through either Boulder or Twelve-mile Pass, to Eureka, Silver City and then due west through West Tintic, Desert, Death Canon, Dugway, Fish Springs, Clifton and Deep Creek, there are mines to be served (at intervals) the entire distance. These mines will remain dead as they are now until money can be obtained to open them. The money will come with the rail- way, and it will not go far in advance of the railway after low grade ores. Undoubtedly the Union Pacific Co. should extend the Stockton line along the west base of the Oquirrh to the vicinity of Tintic, and then build west as per above itinerary. Should they do so they would have all the business between Salt Lake City .and Deep Creek within a year or two that a first-class line could do. Beyond Deep Creek, the Union Pacific Com- pany is aware, from its own investigation, that a railway would have all it could do, almost from the day of its opening. It is the stretch between Salt Lake City and Nevada of which the Company is doubtful. The capacity of this stretch of country to develop railroad business, if the route above suggested be taken, has no doubt been underestimated by even the most persistent promoters of a railway to the Deep Creek border. PIUTE COUNTY MARYSVALE. This is the mining town of Piute County. It is 17 miles above Monroe, on the Sevier, about 30 miles from Salina, the nearest railway station. This was one of the first min- ing districts organized in Utah, and nearly 20 years ago wagon trains of Marysvale ores were not an unusual sight in Salt Lake City. Distance from railroads proved too much for it, however, and for many years the district was all but abandoned. A few persevering men stuck through lone- some times, and now are receiving their reward. Within the past year two or three gold mines have been opened and mills put on, and at this writing they are making their first trial runs on the quartz. One of the veins is described as porphyritic granite, very large, and having a stratum of very rich milling rock 3 to 8 feet wide. The absolute altitude of this mine is 9,000 feet above sea. Another one of. these veins is white quartz, which will mill $20 per ton, 25 feet wide. The Homestake and Webster was the leading mine in the olden time. It is a very strong vein of low grade ore. Amongst the noted mines, old and new, are the Apex, the Angel, the Holder- man, the Star, the No You Don't, the Hidden Treasure, the Pearl and the Hard Cash, the Gold Belt, the Gold Belt Exten- sion, the Giles, the Giles Extension, the Alma, the Triangle, the Plata da Mina, the Deer Trail, the Crystal, the Clyde, the 18 Copper Belt, the Crown Point. A good deal of work has been done on these mines through the years of waiting, and occas- ional shipments of ores show the latter to be of good quality. A writer on the ground has this to say: " The district needs mills, reduction works, and, more than all else, a railroad. Here are such facilities for development as are afforded by no other district in the Territory. Wood, not only firewood, but the best of timber and of nut pine and mahogany for charcoal, is on every claim. Wood for timber- ing is delivered at the mine for $2 a cord. Lumber is cheap, with a saw mill in every canon. Here is water and here are waterfalls furnishing a power that would turn every spindle in Lowell and Fall River, and this power is going to waste. Here, in the wide valley, are acres and acres of hay and grain that need a market. Here are vegetable gardens and young orchards, and the grassy hills are covered with live stock. The cost of living is a mere bagatelle compared with that in Tintic and Pioche. The winters are short and are much milder than in Salt Lake or Utah Valleys. The deep, rugged and heavily-timbered cafions, with roaring brooks and pictur- esque cascades, remind one of the beautiful California camps that lie high up in the Sierra, on the head-waters of the Ameri- can, Yuba and Feather Rivers. And the precious metals are here. Some of the prospects are certain to develop into rich mines, while other prospects are as sure to prove valueless. Prospecting is only in its infancy. Bullion and Cottonwood Cart- ons have been examined in a superficial manner, and the claims that have been located give every indication of vast mineral wealth, but Beaver Canon, just north of Bullion, and the nigged gulches of Baldy give the miner, who thoroughly understands his business, every inducement to prospect, and the lucky men who come first will do more than make a mere 'grub- stake.' With good ore in sight and the permanent character of a lode determined, capital will not need a second invitation to assist in developing the latent resources of the Marysvalc mining ramp." WASHINGTON COUNTY- SILVER RF.KF. The zone of silver-bearing sandstone which crops out in the reef in Washington County is from ten to one hundred feet thick; it conforms to the stratification, dips fifteen or twenty degrees from the horizontal, is overlaid by day shale and red sandstone and underlaid by white sandstone. With- in this zone the pay-rock occurs in well-marked bodies of shoots, usually small in dimensions, but sometimes extend- ing from sixty to two hundred feet on the strike, and from one hundred to three hundred feet on the dip of the forma lion. These bodies may be separated by barren ground; oftcncr they arc connected by irregular stringers of pay-rork. With the exception of where it is associated with the silicified remains of organii matter reeds, rushes, trunks and leaves of trees (he pay-rock is plain sand- unilistingiiishahle by the eye from tin- i>rdin.ir\ in of the reef.

It iseasily crushed, aS-stamp mill reducing thirty to forty tons in twenty-four hours. Total cost of mining and milling is about #l:i per ton. The Christy and the Stormont Companies, which divide between them the best of the ground so far as known, have with fifteen stain; pans, in proportion, taken out 5,000,000 ounces of fine silver in the past twelve years. These companies both closed down a year or two since, and many of the miners left for other parts. Messrs. \\"oolle\, Lund & Judd leased the properties, and the past veai IK i.l K N I ounces of silver were taken out. The condition of the mines is said to be improving. OVER THE LINES PIOCHE. Pioche is reached to best advantage from the terminus of the Union Pacific at Milford, and so is Osceola, the former south, the latter west, of Milford, in Nevada. At Pioche work on the mines during the past two or three years was more in the line of development of opening ore bodies, and in other ways preparing for steady shipments, than in sloping or mak- ing a showing in the way of output. The Pioche and the Yuba Companies were consolidated, as the Pioche Consolidat- ed. They own several large groups of mines, comprising most all the old producers of note- the Raymond & l-.K. Meadow Valley, Maieppa, Newark, American Flag, Hillside, and Day- together with a number of newly dis. mercd mines Half Moon. Mendha, and Onondaga. The Company have expended half a million dollars in the purchase ami dc\elop- ment of mines, in surface improvement and reduction winks. and in ore reduction. A second 50-ton furnace was built the past season and made a successful run. The ores are well adapted to smelting. With the Union Pacific extended from Milford, the district would be as livclv and populous as in the palmy days of the Raymond \ Kly and the Meadow Valley. As soon as the railroad reaches 1'ioche the Salt Lake Smelt- ing interests will be greatly benefited by the superior fluxing ores of that region. The lime ores especially are an import- ant feature, as that is the character of flux in ores now lacking in Utah. A regular supply of this ore would avc the quarry- ing and smelting of barren limestone in Salt Lake, and then' by cheapen smelting and help keep nrcs there for treatment that are at present being shipped east. This lime ore exists at I'ini he in apparently inexhaustible quantities. Prof. < .. \V. Mavnard estimates tl '.I the lime fluxing ore in the Day mine .it -I *_'.( * I tons. The ore is a minerali/ed limestone, being about two-thirds carbonate of lime, with the remaining one-third made up mostly of oxides of iron and manganese. It contains only :t per .int. -ilu a, and < amcs about '': prr i i MI. lead and twenty ounces silver per ton. OSCEOLA. The Osceola Gravel Company early in 190 completed their ditch. It is l**f miles long, anil has a i apa. it\ <.| -J^m mmcis MI. he-., or 40,000,000 gallons per Jl hours. The ditch has a fall of Ifi feet per mile. The old did h. brought from tin- opposite side of Wheeler's Peak, is about 17 miles long, and has a capacity of about 2,000 inches. The twodidlic- ring water in the same gulch furnish a great sup - "" . v ,-"."> ^~ - 19 ply. Washing begins in March and continues to December. In operation two monitors are run at a time, there being two nine-inch and one seven-inch. Fifteen men are employed during the season in the mine. This gravel bar has been pros- pected over hundreds of acres, and estimated to average 17 cents gold per cubic yard, but in operating it has run as high as 27. In starting, the gravel was thin, but going upward gained in depth until the face of the bank is now 92 feet high. Water is sent against this bank under a pressure of the mon- itors of 225 feet. The bed-rock flume or sluiceway is four feet wide and four feet deep, and runs full most of the time. This is about 300 feet long. The old ditch supplies power for operating a 2,000-candle power electric dynamo to furnish light for the workmen at night, and then this water goes back into the ditch to help wash out the gold. The company does not give out the results of its work. A $2,000 nugget, recently unearthed, the Company was not disposed to hide under a bushel, and it was exhibited in Salt Lake. ORE PRODUCTS OF 1890. The output of ore and concentrates for the year, by counties, is as follows: Counties. Tons. Beaver.. 21,100 Jaab - - 89,857 Summit (44,867 tons milled) 76,518 Utah 300 SaltLako . - 36,062 Tooele (Third Term, Mine, 1,000) 5,219 Washington (milled)... -- 1,600 Total 210,654 Six thousand tons of iron were shipped from Tintic for flux- ing purposes. The output of 1891 is not yet made up, but it is estimated to considerably exceed that of 1890. COST OF MINING AND MILLING. This varies greatly with circumstances. At the Ontario it is something less than $30 per ton; at the Daly it is given at 26; at the Horn Silver in 1883-84 it was about $26. These figures in- clude all cost for the year, maintenance of plant, dead work, in- cidental expense, but not, of course, original cost of plant and opening of the mine. At Silver Reef, cost of mining and milling is jU.'i to $15. The mass of Utah low grade ores requires concen- tration, but this costs only about $1 per ton. For every ton of concentrates, however, three tons of ores must be mined and car- ried to the concentrator. Bingham and Stockton and Ophir are the low grade districts; Park city also in part. Part of the low grade ores have to be roasted, the lumps in out-of-door heaps, the line in rcverberatory or revolving roasters. The ores milled at the Ontario and Daly have to be roasted and chloridized, while the dry ores of Tintic must pay heavy working charges. The figures given are the cost figures of mines varying widely as to location, natural conditions as dimensions of vein or ore bodies, water, distance from market, etc. grade and nature of ores, appliances and processes of reduction. But doubtless $30 per ton amply covers the cost of extraction and reduction of all Utah ores. SAMPLING AND SMELTING. There are 13 sampling mills in Utah one at the Horn Sil- ver mine, one at Milford, one at Tintic, five at Sandy and vicin- ity, three at Park City, and one in Salt Lake. Together they sampled in 1891 about 150,000 tons of ore. Ordinarily, only the fifth or tenth sack of a lot of ore is sampled, and the cost is $1 per ton for the whole of it. Where the whole is sampled, the charge is $4 per ton. The sampler crushes the ore to the size of peas, thoroughly mixes, and sends sealed packages to the assayers, upon whose certificates it is bought and sold. In the Jordan valley, six to twelve miles south of Salt Lake City, on the railroads, are the Utah smelters, four or five dif- ferent concerns, comprising about a dozen stacks. Those in blast at present are the Germania, three stacks, three revolving roasters and one large reverberatory ; the Hanauer,4 stacks and 5 roasters; the Mingo, 4 stacks and 5 reverberatories; the three plants valued at $500,000. Together they keep 7 or 8 stacks pretty steadily in blast, and employ about 350 men at an aver- age wage of $65 per month. Their output for the year 1890 was as follows: WORKS. TONS. OUICOKS.

There has consequently been a re- duction in cost of smelting, between 1887 and 1890, of 30 to 40 per cent. Valuing the bullion at $50 a ton, the gold at $20 an ounce.the silver at $1.05 an ounce, and the copper matte at 10 cents per pound, the ore run through by the Mingo contained $40 a ton. About one-fourth of the Utah ores were shipped out of the Territory for reduction. There is a good opening at Salt Lake for a great smelting works. The output of these smelters has averaged about the same as above for the past 10 or 15 years. It will not vary greatly from it, either way, for 1891. RECEIPTS AND SHIPMENTS, 1891, For the first eleven months of 1891 receipts of ores and bul- lion at Salt Lake were: Of ores, $4,554,786; of bullion, $4,873,- 253; of both, $9,428,039. Shipments of minerals out from Salt 20 ,0v* ^>jg^^H Ng^ *-M;?

In the following statements of product, the year 1890 is necessarily considered, the figures for 1891 not yet being made up. The output for 1891 will not materially differ from that of 1890, however. COAL. Utah contains a great variety of minerals besides those involved in silver mining, to-wit: Silver, gold, lead and copper. Coal occurs on both fronts of the Wasatch, and of the High Plateaus almost the entire length of the Territory. The coal measures underlie an area of many thousand square miles; probably 2,000 that are available. At all events, there is enough to meet any possible demand for generations. We should be mining four times as much as we are but that the Union Pacific largely supplies Utah from Wyoming. The Pleasant Valley Company mined in 1890 at Scofield and at Castle Gate, both within 115 miles of Salt Lake City, on the line of the Rio Grande Western, 224,487 tons; and made at Castle Gate, where they have put in 80 coke ovens, 7,778 tons of coke. The latter is sold to the Salt Lake smelters at $8.60 per ton. This coke has not, as yet, quite the requisite tough- ness, at least for iron smelting; but they are studying it and experimenting with it, and will no doubt overcome this defect in time. The Union Pacific own coal mines in Pleasant Valley (Sco- field), from which in 1890 they mined- of commercial coal, 88,000 tons, and probably as much more for their own use; making in all about 200,000 tons. The Home Coal Company raised and sold in 1890 from their own mines on the Weber, near Coalville, 35,206 tons, and the Chalk Creek Company, from mines also near Coalville, raised and sold 1,200 tons in 1890; making a total output of about 460,000 tons; worth, at the mines, $2 per ton. Salt Lake City consumed 88,400 tons. SUNDRY MINERALS. There are deposits of brimstone near the mouth of Cove Creek, about thirlv mile* cast of Black Rock Station, on the Union Pacific Railway. This deposit is supposed to be pr.n tu-ally inexhaustible. There is a deposit at Milliard, another about twelve miles from Frisco, and still other*. Ninety miles from Juab Station, on the I'nion I'ncihi Kail way, up the Sevier River, at a place called Antimony, deposit-, of antimony ores were formerly worked. Such as could be reduced without i <>m ciiirnting were exhausted, in the con- strurtion of rum minting works costly mistakes were made; the company's money gave out and work ceased. The anti- mony turned out was of extraordinary purity, and with railway facilities operations may be resumed. There are said to be available deposits of antimony ores in other parts of the Terri- tory, especially in Boxclder Canon. Quicksilver ores are found at Marysvale, and also at Lewis- ton. Bismuth occurs in Beaver County, east of Milford, and also in spots in some of the mines of Tintic. Copper ores are found at Bingham, at Tintic, in North Star, near Frisco, on the Cottonwoods, in Lucin District. Boxelder County, at Deep Creek, all over the Territory in fact. IKON ORES. Iron ores are found about Ogden, in Morgan, Boxelder, Cache, Salt Lake, Tooele, Juab, and Iron Counties. The iron mines above VVillard furnished ores for fluxing purposes in early times. For many years 6,000 to 12,000 tons have been vearly drawn from Tintic by the smelters for fluxing silicious ores. The deposits in Iron County, about 300 miles south of Salt Lake City, are amongst the noted deposits of the world ; at least, they are so considered by authorities on the subject. They are scattered about irt a belt two miles wide by sixteen miles long, in number about 50, and with very little work done on them show about three million tons of ore in sight. Twenty- three samples taken by an iron expert, known to the writer, showed upon analysis an average of 65.98 per rent, metallic iron, .042 per cent, phosphorus, no trace of titanic acid, prac- tically no copper, and a residue, mostly silica, of 3.6 per cent. In some of the samples there was a little carbonate of lime and also manganese. Following are the best samples so far as absence of phosphorus is concerned: ORE IN 8IOBT. Met Iron.

Deposits of rock salt, some of them quite pure, are found N'ephi, on Salt t'ieek,.ind also near S.ilm.i. and in other localities. It is useful in its crude state for feeding slock, chloro- diiing silver ores, and may be refined and put to all kinds of use. Great Salt Lake is an inexhaustible storehouse of . t.m mon salt, and, the chemists say. of a variety of sulphates, berates and bromides, from which may IK- manufactured salt cake, epsom and glauhrr salts, soda ash. bi-carbonate of soda, caustic soda, and sal-soda. HYDRO-CARBONS 'MIIOIIS and \.ilu.ilile hydro-carbons arc found in the I mtati -White Basin, anil about the Pleasant V.illev Divide. \ ipanv nh he.il.|n.irters at I 1 . V. Junction is mining for ozokerite (paraffinc). So far the mineral has not been found in large quantity. U occur* in seams, bunches and 21 stringers, where the material has been caught when in a vola- tile state and held till it condensed into a solid. Gilsonite or Uintahite occurs in the bad lands of the lower Duchesne and the lower White, in veins or lodes striking straight through the sandstone formation, standing vertically, thirty inches to twenty feet thick, clean, black, and, when first broken, lustrous as jet. It is 99^ per cent, asphalt, with the oils dried out. Most of the known veins are on the Indian Reservations, but one of them has been set off by Act of Congress, and is owned and wrought by a St. Louis company. It is used, as yet mainly for varnishes, but it is expected that more extended use will be found for it. On the Green River and eastward, asphalt, and oil with an asphalt base, exude in places and form deposits said to be not unlike the asphalt lake at Trinidad. Prof. Newberry is of the opinion that this is a petroleum region. Petroleum, he main- tains, is derived from the spontaneous distillation of hydro- carbons, and as the Colorado group east of the Wasatch con- sists of bituminous shales 1,500 to 2,500 feet thick, gas and oil springs are to be expected. The gilsonite and the ozokerite Prof. Newberry refers to this distillation. It is probable, he says, that these residual products of the liquid hydro-carbons evolved from the shales, as well as petroleum, will become important items of export from this region. A kindred substance to these, which Prof. Blake, of New Haven, names " Wurtzilite," has been found about the divide between the Strawberry and the Price, close up to the Wasatch Range. Before it could be located, and its extent ascertained, it was discovered that it was mainly on the Indian Reservation, and prospectors were warned away. It is of no use to the Indians, neither is the extremely high and broken country where it is found. The latter should be restored to the public domain, so that the arts may have the benefit of this material if it can be used. Its mode of occurrence is somewhat like that of ozokerite, but is more plentiful. stone, and, it may be added, the best of clay, except kaolin, at their doors, so to speak. Lithographic stone of good quality, marbles, gypsum, slate, the materials for the manu- facture of glass and of Portland cement, rock rich in asphalt, limestone for building and for fluxing ores these materials are found in many places in the Territory. A gypsum mill near Nephi is sending plaster to various points on the Pacific Coast. Salt is made and gathered on the shelving shores of Great Salt Lake and supplies the chloridizing silver mills of Utah, Montana, Idaho, and part of Nevada. Natural gas is struck by wells anywhere on the shores of Great Salt Lake; in Corinne, Ogden, Salt Lake City, and between them. Companies are boring to the deep at Ogden and Salt Lake City to find it under pressure and inexhaustible. A com- pany is boring for oil on Green River, and meeting with encouraging signs. BUILDING STONE. Structural, fertilizing, and abrasive materials of every variety, and adapted to all uses, are found all over Utah, and generally convenient to the valleys where the people live. A number of stone quafries have recently been opened. The Diamond, Kyune and Castle Stone Company worked quarries of brown sandstone at Diamond, and of gray sandstone at Kyune, and at Castle Gate, all on the line of the Rio Grande Western. Their shipments for 1890 were 1,293 cars. Twenty cars went to Seattle, Wash., 20 cars to Logan, 15 cars to Milford, 4 cars to Nephi, 154 cars to Ogden; Salt Lake City used the remainder, 1,080 cars. Cubes of these stones, tested at the Illinois State University, cracked -the gray Kyune stone under a ten-minute pressure of 16,000 pounds per square inch, and broke under the same of 20,800 pounds; the brown Diamond stone cracked under a pressure of 30,000 pounds, and broke under a pressure of 34,550 pounds. Twelve cubic feet of these two kinds of stone weigh one ton. Excel- lent foundation and dimension stone is brought into Salt Lake City from the adjoining canons and from Parley's Park. All the larger towns of the Territory find the best of building Appendix to Mining in Utah. [NOTE.
