delights the eye and compels the admira-
ton of the Judgment.
In all the world there is to be found nc
bathing that can rival that of the lake
near 1t. The breath of life floating across
its waters, whispers of natures miracles
and the history of unrecorded ages. 1t is
the only city in the world that has such
bathing.
The mineral and hot springs within its
limits are unequalled in this country,
Cures little less than marvellous have been
effected and will yet make these springs
famous.
1T is A NATURAL RAILROAD CENTRE,
| No road projected from the east to the
west, or from the west to the east, that does
not name Salt Lake city as it's objective
point 1t is the objective point of all tour
lists to the west. 1t is the supply point for
thousands of miles of the richest agricul-
tural and mineral lands in the country

and San Francisco
Utah is the richest of the western com
monwealths in the great variety and abund-
ance and richness of her minerals These
minerals are easy of access. They surround
Salt Lake city on all sides. Salt Lake is
the only city thus situated.
Hence Salt Lake will be large manu-
featuring centre. 1t cannot be avoided.
she has almost as many people employed
In manufactures as the whole of the terri
tory comb ned.
Her buildings double in size, cost and
number every year. Her business grows
at the rate OF % per cent. per annum
There are never enough dwellings or bust
ness houses to supply the demand.
The price OF real estate is reasonable, vet
1t grows steadily.

lutely safe, and investments certain of

cultural and horticultural valley in the
world

invest in.
Salt Lake city has the best location in
the west.
If you mean for pleasantness and health.
1t IS due to the splendid climate, and to the
fact that it is built upon spur of the
Wasatch range and has southern and
western exposure. The soil is warm and
porous. To the south and west and east
are mountain chains that form delightful
background to the green and brown of the
felds that stretch far between. To the
west and the northwest the mysterious
DEAD sea summers beneath the pleasant
summers sun and silent Wintry moon
while mountains rear their stately heads
over the city on the north. All who have
seen Salt Lake city IN the spring or summer
or the autumn concede it to be the one par
tlcGlar gem of the western country, unsur-
passed in the wide domain of the United
States. For situation it is faultless.
II viewed as to the possibilities it holds
out as
A BUSINESS CENTER,
there are no end to the reasons that NAV
be given. Salt Lake is the great and cen
trial city Of the rich chain of mountain val
leys that skirt the majestic Wasatch range
on the west. AS the valleys are bounteous
in their yield of food, so the mountains
are filled with illimitable mineral riches.
Salt Lake is the center of this vast region.
1t Is the supply point. AS railroads weld
to the demands of trade and travel thew
will come to Salt Lake
Salt Lake city surpasses in surrounding
attractions.
Green fields and trees, trees and green
helds, and mountain and pleasant homes,
and lovely drives and mountain breezes
and streams-these are the characteristics
OF nearly all Utah cities. limo instance is
there so delightful a combination of
these attractions as in Salt Lake
city. The mountains that enclose Salt
Lake on two sides are, in their
hidden recesses, the scenes of untold love
illness and grandeur unknown save to
those who have penetrated their depths.
They are the sources of the life. giving
waters that beautify and bless the valleys
that smile and blossom at their feet. and
the inhabitants thereof Far up their rug
ged heights, amid their snow crowned sum
mlts, are innumerable small lakes,
UNEQUALLED IN THE WORLD
for romantic beauty. During summer
months excursions to their shores are of
frequent occurrence, while the rare pleas
ure may be enjoyed of camping out at
nights, for days at time, along the banks
OF the streams born of the eternal SHOWS
and that too without the fear of storms-so
equable and SO certain the climate. AS the
years roll. on the works of man. lending to
those OF nature, serve but to heighten a
scene of beauty that grows on the sense
with an increase of enjoyment the more il
is viewed. The clear streams that flow
down either side of every street, giving life
to umorageous trees, and making of every
street in tois wonderful city an avenue. are
no light factors in the grand ensemble that
has won for Salt Lake city and its sur-
roundings reputation for beauty unsur-
passed on the whole continent.
Salt Lake city has
THE FINEST BATHING IN THE WORLD.
Salt Lake city is nearest the Great Salt
Lake. is nearer than any other where de-
cent bathing is possible. No lake with

hemisphere. 1t is thirty miles wide bv
ninety long. 1t is 10 per cent solid matter.

dense that one cannot sink III its DEPTHS.
With or against the will the body will float.
Its translucent depths are devoid of life.
The law its nature is against the produc.
ton of life in its own waters 1t is VERT
able Dead Sea-" Yet while these waters
yield no life, they are playful, or angry. or
calm as the winds move upon them.
Though they refuse to bear life they CON
tribute to life. Once yield to their tempt
ing depths and you will come out renewed
and invigorated, the blood bounding in life
with every pulsation. Great Salt Lake is
destined to be the most renowned and popu-
lar bathing place in the United States. as
it is already the most delightful. BY rail
or by carriage road the way to the lake will
yet be lined with charming homes. And
on Summar'S evenings the br0ad hoeo,,,
this most mysterious sea will bear upon
its dancing waves hundreds of white sails.
