We crossed the little mountain this morning. It is 3 miles across. The city is beautifully situated at the base of the mountain. It is layed off north and south, east and west, wide streets and not less than 100 feet. Shade trees grow along the side walks, most of which are willow.
Water runs along every street between side walk and street.
The water is pitched from the mountain. Brigham's residence and other buildings covers a whole square. In side of this is his residence, tithing office and warehouse and other buildings. About one half of the citizens carry their revolver and knives all the time. I witnessed a fight this evening.
