streets of your city to enjoy the bracing
breezes and brief holiday in Holiday
park.
Over the top of steep hill, overlooking
the park, is
LOVELY LAKE,
10 which number of the campers paid a
visit the day before we struck them, and
from their EXPLANATIONS of ecstacy, one
would Judge that the sheet of water and its
surroundings was a perfect paradise. Ger
tain is, that specimens of lilies they showed
us was an evidence that it is delightful
spot. Moreover, it Is full of fish, though
one Of the party declared there was none
in it-not one. Probably because he did
not get his Claws-o ON any. The next time
that party goes to that lake they'll go sing
ing the quartette, Come Where the Lilies
Bloom
Next morning our journey was continued
for nearly three miles farther up the
mountains 10 where a Mr.. Stallings has a
steam sawmill. Of all the places to plant a
lot of machinery for operating that caps all.
The approach TO it is one continual CLIMB,
and in many places the climb is very steep.
Wien 1T is reached, one looks back at the
hill tops below and wonders how moftals
ever had the hardihood &c penetrate the
forests at such an elevation. What seemed
high mountains when we were at the bed
of the river were now beneath us, and
around, above, below, near by and afar of
were mammoth pines and timber of various
kinds, awaiting the AK of the intrepid
woodsman and the teeth of We buzZy saw.
Such enterprise is deserving of success
Mr.. Stallings informed us that the season
for mill operations was so short that he
could not accomplish much. His seasons
200, 600 feet of lumber. Most of this was
shipped to Salt Lake, some of it to Park
City.
Returning, at the foot of the ascent to the
mill we saw
A COAL PROSPECT.
which promises rich returns to it's owner
at no distant day. The prospect is an ex.
cellent one, and is owned also by Mr.. Stall
hngs as we understand.
Here, looking backward and to the right,
we behold most magnificent sight, one
that beggars description. The majestic
heights encasing the Weber, towering
aloft and thickly wooded to their SUBMITS
form grand, awe-inspiring background tt
picture that II. l.. A. Culmer would &C
wild with delight over. Up the right hanG
| fork and straight ahead looms mp the famed
Reeds peak, whose top is above the vege
tation line and on which not blade OF
grass or anything green grows. Between
1t and the point where we stood heads thu
Provo; to the left of that short distance
heads the Duchesne to the left of thai
again, over another low ridge, heads the
Bear: in front of US, but short step, head!
the winding, wooded Weber. So that here
we were at the nucleus of four of the fines
streams of the territory, and enrapturet
with the surroundings.
In the matter of educational facilities tn,
interested parties here and the settlement
near about are deserving of cOnSidera hi,
credit and when school time begins thu
urchins aud maidens now assisting thei
paras and mammas viii flock to the school
houses and prepare themselves for bette
and nobler lives.
A Sunday school concert was given her
last evening, at which the children dit
themselves great credit for the manner il
which they sang and behaved themselve
generally. There is talent here, as else
where, and will be developed under tn
guidance of the present school officials.
