PRINTED FOR SLOAN & DUNBAR, BY THE HERALD PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY, Salt Lake City, Utah. 1884.

To the business men of Utah ; to those interested in the development of her resources and the establishment of a foundation that will insure her permanent prosperity, and to all her inhabitants, this work is respectfully dedicated by the publishers,
R. W. SLOAN, D. C. DUNBAR.
.
PREFACE.
It is with mingled fear and confidence that this work is sent forth-fear that it may not meet the standard of excellence which a commonwealth of such vast and varied resource merits; confidence that it will, nevertheless, give a broader view of the Territory and its capacity for development; and convince those who have now made permanent homes here, or who may hereafter determine to do so, that there awaits for Utah a glorious and imper- ishable future. This work was begun by the author and the publishers with the hope that the undertaking would be profitable; but not with this idea alone. The disposition manifested by many to belittle the capacity of Utah, and the indifference shown by many within her borders, and especially among her own offspring, those of young blood, active and restless temper- ament, to ignore the inducements Utah offers alt willing to make an honest effort to secure material prosperity, largely influenced the determination to publish such a work as this, and had a greater influence on its character while in course of preparation than will, in all probability, ever be known. The idea has ever been uppermost that no more favored country, the same area considered, is to be found on the globe; that true prosperity is not to be found in the circulating wealth of a nation, but in the abundance of resource that will justify the establishment and operation of industries suffi- cient to keep its population employed, and upon the industry and the thrift of that population, and that, while the development of Utah may have been retarded by the abuse of moneyed power, whether in railroads or in other : forms, it is impossible that injury of this kind can be permanent. The abiding and unshaken faith in the future of Utah, felt at the commencement of this work, has grown to a certain and immovable conviction. With these views it was impossible that interest should not be felt in showing to all, with all truth and candor, and with as much ability as those interested possessed, the basis first for the faith and later for the conviction which a greater acquaintance with the subject brought; and, vain though it may seem, we cannot avoid the expression of an opinion that any right-minded, . level-headed young man, who will casually glance at the wealth of resource shown even briefly and crudely in this volume, must admit that no place can offer greater inducements to him if he desires permanently to live in any country, if he is but willing that his position in life shall be that which honest effort and perseverance merit as a reward. Nor does the showing appeal with less force to men who have already won success in life's battle. It is impossible that any man of means, patriotic and public-spirited at heart, who calmly
254804
and intelligently investigates the resources of this Territory, can fail to reach the conclusion that a world of opportunity is here and yet awaits the investment of means that will certainly bring profit; that industries and man- ufactures are yet to be founded that will win for Utah a permanent prosperity that monopolies and adventurous speculators will find immovable, a rock upon which they must split should they sail against it. It is because of such thoughts, because Utah can never enjoy anything like certain prosperity until the utilization of her manifold resources places her in a position of inde- pendence, that such a work as this has become necessary, and of equal value to the laborer, the mechanic and the capitalist. All alike-though views as to the methods best calculated to bring about general prosperity are at variance-are equally interested in the future of Utah.
Social questions have been avoided. Material and historical Utah have only been treated. The conviction is that, all circumstances considered, the progress made by Utah since 1847, is a marvel, an eternal monument that will ever point to the unyielding industry of its people and tell a story full of the efficacy of labor and the certain reward of honest toil that can be pon- dered over with benefit to future as well as present generations.
It is not held the work is without errors. Such a claim would be pre- posterous. It is simply stated that in comparison with the endless subjects discussed and given, there are practically no errors; and that there are no errors whatever in spirit, no misrepresentations, and nothing as to material facts that existing intelligence and the knowledge now possessed could wish to be changed. The most notable errors discovered so far are corrected in the Errata. There will no doubt be mistakes as to names, and as to dates, and as to other things. It is impossible that such could be avoided, as many whose names are published have passed away, and those who furnished the information themselves were imperfectly informed and gave only the best knowledge at their command. If such a work is undertaken by another in later years, the basis here given will materially assist in securing better and more accurate information as regards the names of those associated with past events and the dates on which these events transpired.
I am under lasting obligation to President Wilford Woodruff, Mr. John Jaques, Col. O. J. Hollister, Professor J. E. Clayton and Dr. Wm. Brede- meyer and others-presidents of stakes and bishops-throughout the whole Territory, without whose valuable and timely assistance many subjects must have been omitted or imperfectly given. With whatever success this work may meet, much of that success will be due to their kindly and valuable assistance.

THE
SARATOGA OF UTAH,
Situated on the West Side of Utah Lake.
HIS DELIGHTFUL RESORT COMPRISES 600 ACRES, ON which are innumerable Hot Springs, which cover about 400 acres. The place is watered by these springs and the farm thoroughly irrigated. The springs are thus named because of the remarkable similarity between them and the famous waters of Saratoga. The place was formally opened on the 24th of July, in the presence of fully 1,000 people, and since then it has been and is now
Inferior to No place in the est as a Pleasure Resort.
The Springs are not over 100 yards from that beautiful sheet of water, Utah Lake, where there is excellent accommodation for bathers, with all incidental accommodations-100 bath houses, bathing suits. Plunge baths in the water from the Springs are also provided; row and sail boats are fur- nished, and a steamer will ply the lake next season, together with a railroad track connecting with the Utah Central will be laid down. It is also situ- ated near the mouth of the Jordan, and thus affords delightful hunting and fishing both in the lake and the Jordan River. There is a race track, base- ball grounds, shooting galleries, and everything to make life pleasant and agreeable. The Tintic mines are in the vicinity, while the site of the SARATOGA OF UTAH has long been noted as strikingly picturesque.
It is open to all. Health and happiness at trifling expense await all who visit us.

PHYSICAL UTAH.
UTAH extends from the 37th to the 42d parallel of north latitude, and from the 109th to the 114th degree of west longitude. The Territory has a length of about 325 miles, a width placed at some 300 miles, with a superficial area, in round numbers, of 85,000 square miles, or 55,000,000 of acres. With the exception of about 8,000 square miles taken out of the northeast corner of Utah and given to Wyoming, the boundary lines are direct and at right angles. The fragment, thus bitten out, formerly belonged to Utah, being then known as Green River County, but is now. called the Green River Plateau. Utah is bounded on the west by Nevada, which also, at one time belonged to Utah and was known as Carson County; on the east by Colorado and Wyoming; on the south by Arizona, and north by Idaho and Wyoming, and is thus the centre of a vast area of country, noted for its immense mineral resource and boundless agricultural capacity. The Wasatch range of mountains intersects the Territory prac- tically the entire length, and its course is nearly through the centre. All streams arising in this range, at least north of a place known as Panguitch, in Garfield County, flow either to the east or to the west, the larger number flowing to the west. Hence it is that the largest and wealthiest cities in the Territory are located on the western side of the Wasatch, and at the base of the range, in order that the streams, which are fed and maintained by the accumulation of winter snows in the mountain fastnesses may be utilized to the greatest advantage and at the least possible expense. Below the Panguitch Plateau the streams flow to the south, and ultimately empty into the Gulf of California. At this plateau the Rio Virgin and the Sevier Rivers have their source, the former flowing to the south and, receiv- ing all the smaller streams that arise below the rim of the Great Basin, grows and sweeps on its way to the Gulf of California with an ever-changing and often treacherous bed. The Sevier River flows northward, breaks through the mountains and runs west and south, and ultimately finds its way into the Sevier Lake, in Millard County, where it sinks and is forever lost.
.
The best watered valleys in Utah are found in Cache, Weber, Salt Lake and Utah Counties. One who has traversed the western base of the Wasatch Mountains, can readily understand why this should be the case. With a single exception, the range attains its highest altitude in these coun- ties. As the gorges are deepest, the canyons largest and most rugged, and the fall of snow is heaviest and lasts longest where the range is highest, it necessarily follows the wealth of water should be greatest in these counties. The exception referred to is in the northern part of Juab County; the point called Mt. Nebo, having an altitude of 11,999 feet. It is also singular but true, that the character of the Wasatch Range changes at this point. This change is not confined to the confirmation nor to external appearance only, but to the flora and the discoloration of the earth, showing, or seeming to show, the action of a different class of minerals-largely indicative of a preponderance of iron. Mt. Nebo is cut off from the southern portion of the range by Salt Creek Canyon. The range on the south of this canyon is perceptibly lower and bears cedar, while Mt. Nebo, and the range on the
.

north sustain pine, maple, quaking-asp and cottonwood. It may be here remarked that the same physical features first noticeable at this point-Mt. Nebo-can be traced as far south as, and even below the rim of the basin.
There are several points in Utah still higher than Mt. Nebo, the highest being Gilbert's Peak, with an altitude of 13,687 feet, constituting a portion of the Uintah spur; and one a trifle lower, Mt. Baldy, with an elevation above the sea level of 11, 730 feet, and is situated in Beaver County.
Still following the Wasatch Range, it will be seen that Mt. Nebo, as near as may be, is in the centre of the Territory-a little north of the centre and a trifle to the east. This being true, reiterating the assertion previ- ously made that Cache, Weber, Salt Lake and Utah Counties are best watered for the reason that the range in those counties is highest, it follows then, that the northern portion of the Territory has natural advantages for agricultural purposes beyond those possessed by Southern Utah. Being natural advantages, they have always existed, were consequently sought for and invited population both by the reason above given and because of assured prosperity. The result of these conditions was the earlier and more rapid settlement of the northern half of Utah, a speedier and a more certain accumulation of wealth. Another potent factor in the development of the north has been railroads, giving ingress and egress; and, in opening a market for the exportation of products has placed, as a result, within its reach, the power to gratify higher and more refined desires. These advantages, there is reason to believe, will yet be counterbalanced by artificial means, such as artesian wells and reservoirs, and by the development of resources which the south possesses in such abundance as will enable her to hold her own in the race with the north.
