Further on and close to the city in thu
suburbs are the Warm Springs" They
are pleasant to bathe in during the en-
tire season. They are used for bathing
purposes, and commodious building
are erected there for the purpose
It is pleasant to bathe in the water al
all seasons of the year without the aid
of artificial heat. Bathing is INDUCED
in to q great extent by most of the citt
sens for medicinal purposes; and strang'
ers seldom visit Salt Lake without Civ
ing the spring a visit and indulging in q
bath which costs each individual twenty
FIVE cents.
Cottonwood Lake, within ten or twelve
miles, abounds with mountain trout.
They are also cry plentiful and it is only
necessary to throw in baited hook to
catch the m and dozens will eagerly bite
at it. You are sure of a trout every time
you THROWN your hook.
Utah Lake, about fifty miles from the
city, abounds with salmon trout, weigh.
ing from ten, twelve and fifteen pounds,
and many thousands of the same are an.
nually secured by sein, and afterwards
packed and salted, and sold throughout
the territory.
The City of Salt Lake contains pop
ulation of 10000. But must not forget
that l am ON journey to Arizona and
should not wander from, the route and
therefore return to Ogden.
The hour for changing trains, etc.
soon expired and "all aboard was given,
and soon the train was vending its way
over the Great Central Pacific with the
undersigned aboard Of it, Promontory
we reach fifty miles distant from Ogden.
1t was here on the Josh Of May, 1859 that
the two roads were formally joined. BY
previous arrangements telegraphic com
muniCations were organized with the
Chiefcities of the east and west, and, at
q stated hour the lines were put in con-
neCtion, and all business was suspended.
Atthe time appointed IL NJ, the roads
were here formally joined by ex Cover
nor Sanford, President of the Central
Pacific, who with the aid of a hammer,
made of Arizona silver, gave the first
tap on the head OF the last spike made
of California gold, and with the tele-
graph wires attached to the handle Of
the hammer it was 30 arranged that the
news Of the event was, at the first tap
IL NJ, instantly communicated by tele.
graph to the inhabitants of the civilized
world. The wIirer being present at the
time will not soon forget the scenes and
incidents which trsnspired on that i'm
portant occasion. Every body seemed
deeply interested, everybody seemed to
understand thatit was grand event and
that everybody should be happy, and
everybody was happy for the time being
at least, and everybody INDUCED more or
less in wines and other stimulants and
there was jolly time generally. There
were natives from almost every nation
on the earth, present on this occasion
and largely in the ascendenCy we're the
Chinese who, clad in their native cos.
tume-the broad brim hat, the overall
shirt worn outside the breeches) with
their wooden shoes and peculiar dark
complexion and "pig.tail," attracted no
little attention. They were there in
thousands and had right to be there
for they had, principally constructed
with their labor the building of the
road. And l may here add that what.
ever objections may be urged against the
Cinnamon they are a hard working class
of men, and general rule sober, indus.
trious, saving and reliable. A Chineman
will do all he is engaged to do, and they
make reliable help as domestics. The
principal objection urged against the
Chinaman is that he can live at such
trfing expense that he can afJrd to
work at much less figures than any other
class of men generally. Although you
hear complaints urged against Cinnamon
yet almost everybody seems to employ
them. You can leave your house or
other property entrusted to the care of
q Chinsman and he will be faithful to
his trust No danger of him quitting his
post or getting drunk. You will find him
there on your return and. your property
had been, in your absence, in safe hands,
You will find the Cinnamon now all
over the country west ofthe Rocky Noun
tains employed from one to O hundred
In every rancho, location, town, village
and City. 1t is very seldom you enter
dwelling or other haeitation in the
country referred to that you do not fnd
