CELEBRATION OF THE TwENTY-FOURTH
OF july, 1856, IN THE TOPS OF THE
MOUNTAINS
On the morning Of the 23d July, Presidents Brig
ham Young, Heber c. Kimball and Jededish NJ
Grant, and many citizeIs from Great Salt Lake City
and surrounding country, with wives and Children,
entered the mouth Of Big Cottonwood kanyon, on
their way to the head waters Of that stream TO spend
the ninth anniversary Of the entrance OF the pioneers
into the Valley of Great Sa Lake.
1t would be folly in TO attempt a description of
tbe wild grandeur of the scenery whose PERCEPTIONS
Al
their vast and roRged SPELL and at other poots draped
their huge proportions with the iich beauties OF the
vegetable kingdom, from the lowly plant to the giant
pihe until painting il at fault, and even the PEN
Gil Of the ost skiiul artist would fail in giving faith
full delneaton.
Utah granted to Joseph Young and Others charter to
this kaDyon, and the company built mill a short dis
tspce above its mouth, which has since been taken
down.
President Brigham Young and others bought the
claims and improve OF the chartered onpany,
and IN the Fall OF 1854 began to maize roads and bud
mills. They now have three excellent saw mills IN
operation which have already Gus over 100000 feet OF
lumber
could but remark the appropriation of the motto
on flag floating over the third mill, INDUSTRY Re
warded" Opposite this mill is a large double log
building should think 40 feet long by 20 wide. and
over il observed flag with the motto, Our Noun
There is black smiths shop at the second mill, aud
at al the mills there comfortable and commooious
log buildings for the accommodation of the ~orkmen
and their families.
The Conpsny now occupying the kanyon is styled
"Tbe Big Cottonwood Lumber Company" To prop
erly spprecite the amount Of aoor they have
pended in bulldog mills and houses, and in making
roads 10 the head Of the ksDyon-s work previously
pronounced impossible by many experienced men-One
must pas over the road, Iocsed and worked with the
bes. judgment and skill of any in the mountains, and
see for himself.
The Company design to build five more mills at iif.
eient poins from which the timber in the main and
numerous sice ksDy, ns will be easily accessible.
All who passed up the ksDyon we've re elueted to
sbow their tu kes at the gate close by the hrst mill
