TERRITORY OF UTAH.

TERRITORY OF UTAH.
UTAH occupies an area of about 65,000 square miles, which includes large tracts of wild and mountainous country. It extends from the 37thi to the 42d parallels of north latitude ; and from the 109th to the 114th degrees of longitude. About 130,000 acres are under cultivation; of which, in 1867, over 80,000 were planted in cereals ; nearly 2,000 in sugar cane, from which molasses was made ; some 6,800 in- root crops ; nearly 200 in cotton ; 900 in .apple orchards ; 1,000 in peaches ; 75 in grapes ; and 195 in currants ; while 30,000 were in meadow; of this about 94,000 acres had to be irrigated, at a cost during the year, in making canals, dams for irrigation purposes, cleaning out ditches, etc., of nearly $247,000. The result of the grasshopper visitation in 1868 presents details far below the average of other years. Even in 1867, the loss to the cereals, and part of the fruit and root crops, averaged over one-sixth of the whole, as compared with former years and with the promise for harvest before the insects appeared.
Correct returns of mineral operations in the Territory have not been made. Gold has been found in small quantities in various parts of the Territory, as the result of extensive prospecting, but not to an extent that pays for outlay, although during the summer of 1868 a number of men were at work in Bingham's Canon, in the Oquirrh range, on the west side of Salt Lake Valley. Silver has also been found in the Wasatch Mountains, east side of the Valley, in Cottonwood Canon, but it has not paid remuneratively for working.
Iron ore exists in vast quantities in several parts of the Territory. In Iron county, works were erected in 1852, and a small quantity of iron was made, but the lack of the proper fuel compelled a cessation of the works, which were ultimately abandoned. In Summit county, iron ore exists to a considerable extent.
On the Pinto, Iron county, the Union Iron Company commenced operations in June, 1868, with Ebenezer Hanks, president ; S. M. Blair, Peter Shirts and Robert Ritchey, directors, and Chapman Duncan, agent. On the first of January, 1869, they had two furnaces in opera- tion, with another in course of erection ; and had a fair prospect of being successful.
Coal is found extensively, but principally in the neighborhood of Coalville, in Summit county. Fresh veins were discovered up Echo Canon during the construction of the grade for the U: P. R. R., in August of 1868. An excellent quality of coal is also obtained in Sanpete, which is used extensively for blacksmithing purposes.

WALLACE & EVANS, WHOLESALE
TERRITORY OF UTAII.
Copper, lead, bismuth, limestone, etc., exist in considerable quantities in the Territory.
The following, with some slight and necessary corrections, is taken from the Great West and Union Pacific Railroad Guide, published by The American News Company. New York :
" Settlements were made in Utah as early as July, 1847. It originally formed part of Mexico, but by the treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo, in 1848,. it was ceded to the United States. The comparatively small beginning in 1847 has grown and lengthened, until now the settlements extend to a distance of three hundred miles north and south ; and wherever a valley can be found that can be watered, there you will find the industrious, uncomplaining settlers, making an honest living in a way most congenial to nature and most conducive to health, by the cultivation of the soil .. Not only are the ordinary vegetables and cereals produced, but in the southern part of the Territory they are raising cotton, the product of free white labor, thereby removing the objection of some of our eastern friends to the use of this necessary article. In a word the desert has been converted into the fruitful field, and the frowns of nature exchanged for smiles of gladness.
" The country for the most part is mountainous, interspersed with valleys, which can only be cultivated by irrigation.
"The melting of the snow in the mountains affords in ordinary seasons sufficient water to cultivate the valleys successfully.
" The summers are very warm and dry; the winters generally mild and open. The fall of snow is light in the valleys and heavy in the mountains. The climate may be said to be invigorating and healthful, fevers and pulmonary complaints being almost unknown.
" The soil, which, to a very great extent, is formed of the mountain washings, consists principally of gravelly loam, and is well adapted to the growth of wheat and other cereals.
" Wheat is indeed the great staple product of the Territory. In good seasons the average yield per acre is about twenty-five bushels. Sixty to seventy bushels are not unfrequently obtained; and in some instances as high as eighty bushels have been raised from a single acre.
"Oats, barley, rye, and flax are cultivated with great success.
" All kinds of vegetables grow astonishingly large, and of a superior quality.
"In Washington county, in the southern part of the Territory, large fields of cotton are cultivated, the growth of which will be sufficient in a few years to supply all the wants of the people. In 1863 quite a con- siderable quantity of cotton was exported to the States at remunerative prices.
" Madder, indigo, figs, grapes, and other tropical fruits are also raised in this part of the country.

" Timber is scarce, and being found only in the mountains and ' kan- yons,' is very difficult of access. As a consequence of this, houses are costly to build, and rents are proportionately high.
"The climate and soil of Utah are particularly adapted to the pro- duction of fruit ; and her citizens, no doubt, feeling the promptings of an internal as well as external nature, have improved their opportunities for cultivation. Apples, pears, peaches, apricots, plums, grapes, currants and other fruits are produced, not only in great abundance, but of a superior quality.
In addition to flouring and other mills necessary for the support of the Territory, woolen and cotton factories are being established in differ- ent parts of the country for home supplies."
The property value of Utah, according to the Territorial Auditor's Report for 1868, was $10,533,872 ; and the amount of tax assessed on it, for the same year, $52,669. Of these amounts, Salt Lake county owned property assessed at $4,379,652.80; and was taxed, for Territorial purposes, $21,898.26. The Territory has no debt ; but in the Treasurer's hands, at the close of the last fiscal year, was a balance of $17,000, not drawn for the purposes for which it had been appropriated.
There are in the Territory 186 school districts, having 226 schools, on the rolls of which are the names of about 13,000 pupils. The teachers number 306, who received for the the year $61,839.
The population of the Territory is estimated at 130,000.
The government is vested in Executive, Judicial and Legislative de- partments.
The Executive consists of a Governor and Secretary; the Judicial of a Chief Justice and two Associate Justices ; and the Legislative, of an Assembly composed of thirteen Councilors and twenty-six Representa- tives.

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 valley between three and four miles from the city ; and Parley's canon, through which the stage road runs. The mouth of the latter canon is some six miles from the city, in a southeasterly 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 moun- tain sides of these passes in the Wasatch range rising with wild abrupt- ness from extremely narrow gorges, and covered on their summits with pine, maple, oak, and other kinds of timber, extensively used for lum- bering purposes and fire wood. Nearly thirty miles to the south the mountain range juts across the valley, partially separating 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 twenty miles from the city, in a westerly direction, lies Salt Lake, with

several mountainous islands jutting out of its bed, which have been utilized for herd grounds, sheep ranges, and salt boiling. The streets in the main portions 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 encour- aged ; 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 then 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 centre of the city, where the buildings are erected closer together. In the 20th ward, the northeast 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 northwest part, contains crooked and irregular streets, caused by the peculiar character and irregularities of the ground.
The city contains about 25,000 inhabitants. It has several tanneries, grist mills, 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, not long built, cost $70,000, yet the corporation is entirely free from debt.
The government is vested in a Mayor, five Aldermen, and nine Councilors.
