This Dead Sea of America.

Having visited all the sights and
scenes of this beautiful. but Mormon
lied city, says Salt Lake City cor
respondent, L will give you brief
sketch of the Great Salt Lake, the
Dead Sea of America, whose name
has been handed down for ages as one
of the greatest wonders of our conti-
nent. Though its shores are burned
to hard crust and no yerdure or
trees greet the eye, sail on this body
of water is decidedly pleasant. The
voyage is begun from the south shore
of the lake, embarking at Garfield
Landing. We take a course due
north, between the islands of Stans-
bury and Antelope. The water is
beautiful green. and so transparent
that the bottom is plainly seen. As
we glide slowly along. few miles
from the shore may be seen the viii
lage Tooele. which, with its green
foliage. on the barren shore, looks
like an oasis in the desert while
farther to the west, lying under the
iron clad peaks of the Spring Valley
range, lies Grantsville, In two hours
we have passed Stansbury, and we'll
could one imagine himself at sea.
Only two or three points of land are
in sight, one of them being the Wa
satch mountain, gray wall of gran
ite 5000 feet high, and extending for
200 miles. We soon approach Free
mont island, which is known by an
immense rock on its coast resembling
a castle. The water commences to
grow shallow here, and we enter the
mouth of the Great Bear river. When
Fremont was here he could not enter
this river in light boat for want of
water, but to-day boat of 250 tons
passes over the bar in safety. You
can go up the river to Corine, but ex-
cursionists seldom 60 that far, as
there is nothing to make the trip in
teresting. There are very heavy
beach marks on the hills surround.
ing the lake, but they vary in altitude
from 100 to 800 feet. Some think that
the lake is connected with subter.
ranean river, which makes terrible
whirlpool. but If there is such a place
it has never been discovered.
The lake covers an area of $500
square miles, with surface higher
than the Allegheny mountains, and
its average depth is twenty feet. The
two largest islands were one time ac.
cessible from the shore by wagon,
but the lake rising in 1856 cut that
communication off.
A report made by the geological
survey says that twice withing recent
geological times it has risen nearly
1000 feet higher than the present
stage, and must necessarily have
spread over vast region. The solid
matter in the water varies with the
season. At the present stage of water,
salt-makers say 1t will show about II
per Get. of salt.
Within the last three years the lake
has become quite a watering place.
In the summer the water becomes
very warm and much more dense,
and more heathful bathing resort
could hardly be asked for. 1t is al.
most impossible for one to sink, and
with the slightest exertion one could
keep himself afoat for hours. 1t has
a tendency to make the limbs come
to the surface. and many person not
acquainted with its peculiarities has
