SALT LAKE LETTER.
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
SALT LAKE, Nov. 23d 1872.

SALT LAKE, Nov. 23d 1877.
Ed. REcoRD:-After a trip of three days
by stage, during which the greatest in
convenience experienced was the cold
weather, arrived here safe and sound,
and, having had an opp ortunity to look
around me, agreeable to promise, drop
you few lines descriptive of the jour
ney l must confess that, in view of
many discouraging accounts had heard
of the trip between Phoebe and Salt
Lake by stage, was agreeably surprised
to find the matters along the road in
such excellent condition, and also the
good time which is now being made.
The new road over which Gilmer 4
Salisbury are now running is in excel
lent condition, and promises to remain
so during the entire winter, the route
having been especially chosen with
view to making good time during the
entire year. A saving of fifty miles in
distance has also been made by the pres
ent route, matter highly appreciated
by those travelling either to or from
Pioche and this place. At Riverside,
the ''home station on the Beaver
river, met the energetic and live pro-
prietor and superintendent, Jack Gill
mer, and by him was informed that he
was down along the line establishing a
new schedule of running time, which
was to go into effect Immediately, and
the benefits of which l have no doubt
the citizens of Phoebe have already begun
to appreciate. By this new schedule the
time between Phoebe and Salt Lake will
be reduced to sixty hours, twelve hours
less than was formerly the case. The
bridges and gullies along the road have
been repaired and filled in, and every
possible effort and arrang emeat is being
made to keep the road in order and run
on time during the entire winter, and
from present appearances there is not
the slightest doubt but that it will be
uOue. MI. uiSO me
that arrangements are being perfected
with the Postal Department for a through
mail between Salt Lake and Phoebe,
whereby the great objection of SO many
handling the mails in their transmission
between the points named will be avoid
ed. The stage route now ends at Lehi,
distant from this city twenty-eight miles.
AT this point passengers take the cars oi
the Utah Southern Railroad tbroad
Sauge) and are conveyed to the city in
two hours.
