coNTIACED FROM LAST WEEK.
After leaving the Royal Gorge, we
enter narrow valley, which we fol-
low to Sslida. The next town of
note is Lcadville, W. now pass some
nice scenery and from this to Grand
Junction, go mostly, in the night and
l did not get full benefit, however,
We find LeadviIle a very business
place, in a rich mining locality; still
it IS not now what it was ten years
ago. We pull through Lead.ille un-
known to many Of the snoose;ng pas
sengers. The next town, Grand
junction, VIC find to be the chief city
Of Grand River Valley. 1t is at the
junction of the Grand and Gunnison
rivers. We are now over 400 miles
from Denver and at an elevation of
over 4, 500 feet. On leaving this fer
til valley, We enter a country which
looks very much fOrsaken and by en-
4uirj find We are passing what is
known as the Colorado desert. This
desert Is about 100 miles long and Of
considerable width. it is a desert
for the want of water. From the
bridge across the Green river We
coul,l catch Il glance of the Grand
Canon Of the Colorado, although it
was at distance of SO miles. We
from here soon glide into what is
known as the U.al. valley. This favor
cd spot presents the appearance
Of a we'll cultivated park. Utah
valley possesses a fertile soil, de-
lightful climate, and is one Of the
Oest farming sections in Utah. We
pass further on and soon land at
Prove. This city is a great summer
resort, for Mormmons. We run from
through Spanishfork Canon. which is
lnite a sight, also Cotton Wood
Canon.
Soon We reached Salt Lake City,
We found this to he a very nice city
IF $4,000 inhabitants and the capitol
Of Utah territory. SO you know. l
did not expect to find so much soci-
bi'ity existing here among Mormons
and othe classes of people as there is,
it is a fact ut present the community
of Salt Lake City differs but little
from any other in social, business or
relig ious aspects. This is 4 very
nice city. Its streets are 100 feet
wide and every street has two streams
OF clear cold, water constantly flowing,
which adds greatly to the beauty of
the streets. They also have her large
hot springs steaming as would cup
of hot coffee ON Il COLI winter morn.
ing. visited the place where they
take aalt from the lake, which was
very interesting as we'll rs instruc
tive.
The remainder of our trip was
marked by many points of interest te
me: such as long snow sheds, some Of
which were twenty six miles in length
also. long, deep tunnels, which were
black as midnish in the winter time
The coiling around the sides of tn.

of interest Some times We would

We passed down some grades he "
ever that were so steap that We use
two engines, which had eight larg'
drive wheels. We found little or II,
level land in Nevada, or until afte
We had GRO sed the Sierra Ncva,l;
range. This throws us near to Sa
cralnento. which is pleasant tow

IN pleasantly stroliing around.
