Drama greets the eye that it takes some
time to realize what scope of vision it
means and not without an estimate of the
distance intervening between the snow
covered peaks girding the horizon can any
conception be formed of the number of
square miles it contains within its circle.
There are endless mountain ranges and
valleys in sight; the eye constantly finds
some new hidden vale or detects some
sharp point unnoticed before among the
cloud-like mountains on the horizon.
The lake covers an area of $500 square
miles, and It's surface is higher than the
average of the Allegheny mountains. Its
extreme dimensions are about eighty
miles in length by fifty miles in width, and
its elevation is 1000 feet 1t has no outlet
and It's tiuctuating level is determined by
the balance between inflowing springs and
solar corporations. On the surrounding
to thousand feet above it's surface, show
ing that in ancient times great body of
water occupied its basin.
People are beginning to visit Great Salt
Lake as they throng to the sea shore. In a
few years the whole of the borders of this
immense inland sea will be lined with large
hotels, elegant villas, and gaily colored
bathing houses. The mountains around it
will be dotted with country homes and
secured by excursion parties.
The beach is within 30 minutes rid
Salt Lake City, and is reached by the Utah
& Nevada branch of the Union Pacific. In
the season trains run back and forth
hourly during the day and evening To
develop the great advantages of the lake as
summer resort the Union Pacific Rail

houses, tWehty-elght miles of wire and 322
hydrants. The average pressure of fire
plugs is eighty-fve pounds From Jauu-
airy to December l, 1891, 1O2 fires occurred
in the city. The total loss aggregated only
SS5, LIS, with insurance amounting to S72,-
715. The running expenses of the depart
ment for the year will amount to about
$4,000. The fire department is the most
efficient of any of the civic institutions.
1t has done excellent work during the
past year, good evidence of which is given
by the very small amount of the losses by
fire. Owners of property feel very secure
on this score and have great confidence in
the department.
THE POLICE FORCE.
The police force of Salt Lake is not a
large one. There are only thirty-fiye
men all told. Most cities with population
of fifty to seventy thousand have police
force in the ratio of one to every thousand.
and large cities like Chicago have one DO
liceman to every 400 inhabitants, so it
speaks well for Salt Lake when one police
officer to every 1900 IS considered suffi
Gent.
OF the thirty-five officers, twenty-four
do patrol work for the whole city, which
covers an area of ten square miles. There
are three shifts in the twenty-four hours.
From a. m. to p. NJ. four men are on
duty. Form p. m. to II p. m. ten men are
on duty. From II p. m. to a. m ten men

The Chicago & North MestArn.

The Chicago & North Western railway is
one OF the largest systems in the world
being composed Of nearly eight thousand
miles OF steel track reaching all principal
points in Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Wis
consin, North and South Dakota
and the northern peninsula of Mich
lgan. 1t is the only road running into the
city OF Chicago requiring depot for its ex-
elusive use, from which nearly 200 trains
arrive and depart daily on its three dfvis-
ions. Passengers from points in Utah, as
well as from the entire inter-mountain re-
gion, will find that the best accommodations
between the Missouri river and Chicago
will be'found on the North Western Line
All trains are equipped with the latest ap-
pllances known to modern railway service
and are lighted with gas throughout and
heated with steam from the engine. The
dining car service of this road is wall
known to be unexcelled. In connection
with the Union Pacific this system forms
the strongest railway combination for the
interest of the general travelling pnbIic
that exists between all points west of the
Mississippi river. When one considers the
great number OF days required in making
the trip from Salt Lake to Chicago only a
lew years back, and that he can now ia,
his Pullman berth at the Union Pacific de-
pot on Monday and arrive in Chicago
Wednesday, occupying only a space of two
and one-half days and without change of
cars. securing meals without leaving the
train. we are forced to conclude that we
are living in day of modern railroading

There are also Capitol grounds and Pho

THE CANYONS.
The numerous canons which surround
the city on the north and east are favorite
resorts in the summer months. They are
all within easy distance of the city and are
delightfully."- cool even in the hot midsum-
mer days when the change from the heated
city is particularly welcome and inviting.
There are Parley's canon and City Creek

PROPERTY VALUATIONS AND BANKING FACnI-
TIES.
Some idea of the growth of Salt Lake
city in the last few years may be gathered
from the tax valuation of property for the
past five years:
1887, the valuation was---...s11,1 100, 1875
1883, the valuation was----..... 1906, $50
1889. the valuation was. 1908 747
1890, the valuation was.............. "a 353, 90
1891, the valuation was. 81, 965, 66S
There are twelve banks and three private
banking establishments. The aggregate
capital of the twelve banks is s., 500, 600;
surplus, SS6OOO0 deposits, $500, 900, and
loans, Sc, $40, 600. The private institutions
have an aggregate capital of about So. 0OO,-
600. All of these are sound and reliable
and able to command any amount of money
needed for carrying on the many business
enterprises of the city and territory.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
This is one of the most complete in the
country. During the year it's efficiency
has been greatly augmented by the addition
of material and men to the force. There
are twenty-eight permanent men, including
the chief, w. A. Stanton, and the assistant
chief, Abe Levy. The apparatus consists
of two Silsby engines, one hose wagon, two
wagon hose reels and two hand hose reels,
three hose carts, one chemical engine,
village hook and ladder truck, 75-foot
aerial hook and ladder truck, 5000 feet
of hose pipe and fourteen horses. The
Gaynor fire alarm system is the one in use.
There are in the city twenty eight alarm
boxes, three engine houses, three hose

BECK's HOT SPRINGS.
These springs are in the northern part of
the city, about three miles from the bust
ness centre and are fully described on
another page.
THE WARM SULPHUR SPRINGS.
These medicinal springs are situated
about one mile from the business centre of
the city and can be easily reached by street
cars. The spring flows in q strong stream
from beneath perpendicular rock and has
temperature of 12S degrees Fahrenheit.
Bathing in this spring has been found
beneficial to persons suffering from ca
tarrh, rheumatism and other diseases.
There is good hotel and very fine bath
houses have lately been erected.
THE PARKS.
Liberty park, on the southeast side of
the CITY, has an extent of one hundred
acres. 1t lis beautifully laid out and plant
ed with trees which form a delightful
shade in the hot summer months. There
are pond, fountains, lounges and seats
and fine driving track. Altogether it is
favcrite resort.
Calder's park is smaller, comprising
about forty acres. 1t is favorite pleasure
ground in the summer evenings, where en-
tertainments of various kinds are ALWAYS
going on, music, dancing, etc., and the
lake is particular attraction, where those
who are fond of boating can enjoy them
selves to the top of their bent

RAILWAY BUILDING
The Sanpete and the Iintic
Branches of the r. G. w.
Excellent Prospects That the Deep Creek
Railway Will be Built During the
Coming Year.

NWO very important railway
moves have been made during tn
year-the building of the Rio
- Grande Westerns branch line
from Thistle in Spanish Fork canon. to
Salina, in Sewer county, and the extension
of the Rio Grande Western to the Tintic
country. Both roads go through very rich
sections Of Utah. At first, the Sanpete
valley line was made narrow-guage. but a
month had not elapsed when it was dis
covered that the traffic was so enormous
that nothing less than standard-guage
would accommodate it. AS re-
suit the line was made standard
guage, and even now the demand for cars
is not more than supplied. The advent of
the Western into Sanpete and Sewer val
leys has brought to the front section of
country that was little known of before
that time, and has caused wave of pros
perity in every town, hamlet and village
through which it passes. The terminus of
this branch is at Salina for the present
but there is little doubt that the line will
be pushed on southwark at an early date in
tie springs tapping the rich mineral. coal
and salt deposits in and adjacent to Marys
vale. The length of the branch is eighty
eight miles.

THE TINTIo BRANCH.

The Tintic branch of the Rio Grande
Western debouches from the main line at
Springville and goes via Goshen and Ho-
Evansville to Eureka, Tintic. 1t enters
Eureka from the east, and passes around
the point of Eureka canon on the way to
Mammoth hollow, from which point. it is
said, back switch will be put in to reach
the big mine from which the hollow takes
its name. The length of this branch is
forty miles, and it goes through a county
that is rich in scenic display, rivaling in
many respects anything seen on the main
line. The new road is heartily welcomed
by the mine-owners and citizens of the
Tintic country.
THE UNION PACIFIC AND BINGHAM.
Several months ago the Union Pacific
surveyed route to Bingham, and at that
time it was understood that work was to
commence at once. Nothing has yet been
done, however, further than the survey
but 1t may be put down as fact that the
Rio Grande Western will not long be given
the privilege of monopolizing the big ton
mage of the great mining camp
THE UNION PACIFIC IN TINTIc.
The Union Pacific has made short ex-
tension of its line from Silver City. which
taps very rich mineral region and will
materially increase the tonnage of the road
in very short time.
