The placer mines of Bingham have produced largely, and are now being worked with profit. The gross product of the placers is estimated at $250,000. The placer mine, one-half mile above Dry Fork, at Crowley's Point, and owned by Geo. W. Crowley, has yielded $30,000, leaving a profit over ex- penses of $10,000. Other placers are being worked in the camp that promise better results the next season than ever before.
The district produces more ore than any other one in the Territory. All of the ore commands a ready sale, as it smelts readily, and is of great value in reducing ore of a higher grade. The camp can show most of the variety of ores produced in the Territory.
Nearly the entire mountain range of the western and cen- tral part of the Territory are divided into organized mining districts, but in most of them work sufficient has not been done to furnish material for compilation.
OTHER DISTRICTS.
There are a number of other mining districts in Utah, but though the discoveries in several of them indicate un- doubted wealth, the developments are limited compared with those already noticed. The most important are :
DRAPER DISTRICT .- Organized May 7th, 1872, lies be- tween the Little Cottonwood and American fork districts. Not a great deal of work has been done, owing in a great measure to owners of lodes lacking capital to develop. There are eleven mines being worked in the district ; con- taining copper, silver, and iron. The Shoebridge & Ennis Consolidated Tunnel and Mining company, are running a 250-foot tunnel to tap their shaft at about 200 feet deep. There is every indication that they will strike the main lead at that depth. Specimens of pure native copper have been discovered in seams. The owners contemplate putting up concentrating works on the property immediately. Work can be prosecuted in the district the whole year round, being situated in the low hills. The proximity to the rail-

road at Draper station makes it altogether a very desirable location for mining purposes.
HOT SPRINGS MINING DISTRICT .- Organized December 9, 1870 ; situated north-east of Salt Lake City. Its boundaries are : Commencing at a point where the south line of Davis county intersects the Jordan river and running south up the channel of the river to the Sixth ward bridge ; thence east to Emigration canon, and up the canon to the summit of "Big Mountain," where the old road crosses; thence north along the ridge of said mountain to the south line of Davis county ; thence west to the point of beginning. About sixty locations have been made, some of them look- ing well in silver and iron. The Adams district has been organized out of the Hot Springs district.
ISLAND DISTRICT .- Embraces the whole of Fremont island, in Great Salt Lake. It was organized August 3, 1871. The first developments made on the island were under the auspices of the Utah and Nebraska Mining com- pany. There are thirty-eight lodes located in the district, and considerable work has been done there. Among the most notable lodes are the Davis, copper lode ; Queen Catherine, silver ; the Island, silver. Gold-bearing quartz is found all through the district. A slate quarry has been located on the island, which will undoubtedly prove remun- erative to the owners.
OGDEN JUNCTION MINING DISTRICT. - Organized April 22, 1871; in which has been recorded 275 locations, none of them worked sufficient to test their real value, except the iron mines, which included most of the late locations. There has been as much as $1,000 laid out on each of several mines, and some have been sunk to the depth of 60 feet. The district contains iron, zinc, antimony, and cinnabar, with a small per centage of silver and of copper. The iron ore, of which there is plenty, has been tested and pronounced of a good quality.
PINTO DISTRICT-In Iron county, may be considered practically the pioneer of iron mining and manufacturing, although some iron was reduced and worked in the same region over twenty years ago. The Great Western Iron Mining and Manufacturing Co. have, at Iron City, in this dis- trict, a blast furnace, an air furnace, a foundry, machine shops, drying house, and other requisites for carrying on the manufacture of iron, and are making arrangements for extensive developments of their property. They own thirty

iron locations, one zine location, with the vein traceable 6,000 feet, and assaying fifty per cent. metal, and three silver bear- ing locations, one having a tunnel in seventy-five feet, as- says from the ore, which is free milling, showing $171 of sil- ver to the ton. Other claims are located in the distriet, but little development has been done on them. Coal also exists extensively in the district.
SNAKE CREEK DISTRICT - About thirty miles from Salt Lake City, and some twenty-five miles from the U. P. R. R., on the eastern slope of the Divide, between the Little and Big Cottonwood. The leading mining claims are the Lalla, with a shaft down some fifty to fifty-five feet, and two other shafts about fifteen feet deep, having an open cut of twelve- foot face to the tunnel; a vein over seven feet ; assays from twelve and a-half to sixty-two per cent. copper ; sufficient ore on the dump and in sight to justify the erection of smelters for the reduction of copper; owned by Springer, Nichols & Co .; The Shark, Emily, Hattie, Empress, Blue Jacket, Mary Jane and Matilda ; all promising locations.

SALT LAKE CITY.
Salt Lake City is situated at the foot of a spur of the Wasatch mountains, its northern limits running up unto the " bench," or elevated portion of the valley, which reaches to the base of the mountains. It can be approached from the east by two canons-Emigration canon, through which nearly all travel formerly passed, and which debouches in the val- ley between three and four miles from the city ; and Parley's canon, through which the stage road ran before the Pacific railway was completed. The mouth of the latter canon is some six miles from the city, in a south-easterly direction, and the road between them runs past a tannery, two woolen mills, and a paper mill, all worked by the water of the creek that dashes down the canon hollow. The scenery in each is bold and impressive, the mountain sides of these passes in the Wasatch range rising with wild abruptness from extremely narrow gorges, and covered on their summits with pine, maple, oak, and other kinds of timber, extensively used for lumbering purposes and fire wood. Nearly thirty miles to the south the range juts across the valley, partially separat- ing it from Utah valley, which contains the lake of the same name. To the west of the valley rises the Oquirrh range of mountains ; and north of them, about eleven miles from the city, in a northwesterly direction, lies Great Salt Lake. The streets in the main portion of the city are laid out at right angles, and run north and south, east and west. They are 132 feet wide, with rivulets of water gurgling down each street, used for irrigation, and for culinary purposes where wells are not sunk. The culture of shade trees, which have a rapid and healthy growth from these streams, is much encouraged, and as almost every lot has an orchard, when the summer foliage clothes fruit and shade tree with a full covering of green, the picture which the city presents is exceedingly pleasant and beautiful. The blocks contain ten acres each, and were

originally laid out to contain eight lots to the block ; but the growth of business, and other causes, have changed this design in the center of the city, where the buildings are erected closer together. In the twentieth ward, the north- east portion of the city, which is a survey of more recent date than the first settled part, the blocks contain only two and a half acres each, and the streets are proportionately narrow ; and a portion of the 17th and 19th wards, in the north-west part, contains crooked and irregular streets, caused by the peculiar character and irregularities of the ground. The city contains about 26,000 inhabitants. It has several tanneries, grist mills, sampling works, the woolen factories mentioned before, the paper mill, a pail factory, steam wood working factories, furniture factories, large adobe yards, brick yards, etc., etc. Its City Hall cost $70,000.
