rs THE MoRMoN TEMPLE. BY d letter
received from our brother p. wv. Cook,
who was one that left Council Bluff last
spring for the Snlt Lake, dated August I'd,
written while encampeds On the Sweet
Water river, at the South Pass, lin sightof
Fremont's Peak, J we gather some infor-
nation which may not be upinteresting to I
our readers. The New Mormon Tsmple
at the Salt Lake is TO be a splendid build
ing. They enclosed a lot IA miles long
and 10 miles wide, withSa mud well 81 feet
thick There are to be- four cities inside.
They have discovered mountain rock that
resemblee Comedian stone, which the wrii-
ter says is, beautiful for temples and pill
lars. a 81, .s5t,
The size ofthe temple is not stated, but
its highest point is to be 600 feet, and can
be seen eight miles either way. The
| party that went out lasf season lost many
Ioflthe oxen, having died with what they
called the .'swell head. ~ Many oftths
IIs,reamswhich they crossedwareg strong
ly impregnated with alkali that thay dare
not let their cattle drink Onsthe shores
| of many, of lhe lakes o crust is formed an
inch and half thick. They break up
1'this crust scrape, off the dirt on the bottom
and top, and find it pure saleratns.
Strange as This may seem, it is neverthe-
less true, and the writer collected ina
short time rs pounds.
AInountain of, pure rock salt has been
discovered near the / Mormon settlement.
The Morrnons have discovered q rich gold
! mine loo miles southwest from the Salt
Lake The last end of Sll the jon.rney e the
Salt Lake, say 200 miles 10 attended, with
little fatigue. Nearly oil She way the
roads are as good as any prhirie 10 Michi-
gan. The writer was living on the meat
sofbears, antelopes and buffal aninals
VERY numerous Sonthe route. He recon-
mends mule teams instead of oxen, and
that COWS. be driven along for their milk,
and for beef il necessary i.
