Hot Pots of Midway.
The Hot Pots are a series of curious
formations situated some four miles
from the thriving little city Of Heller.
at the terminus Of the Provo canyon
branch Of the Rio Grande Western.
These hot springs are held in great
repute by the citizens Of Wasatch ana
adjacent counties. who take n course
of water and mud baths for general
rheumatic complaints. Owing to the
quantity Of lime and minerals that are
held IN suspension in these waters the
springs during the course of years have
thrown up a solid crater-Iike formation
around the edges Of the pools. from
which popularity the name Of the re-
sort has been derived
At the largest of these hot springs a
hotel has been erected for the accom-
mediation Of the guests that flock 10
that point during the summer months.
This season the premises have been en-
larged in order to meet the rapidly
growing patronage, extra bath rooms
have been built, while the dance pa
viiiOn has been put into shape. The
resort has been leased for the season
by Mike Fitzgerald.
