Through the discovery of a large flow
OF hot salt water on the side of the hill
by William n. Mainland, a hitherto I'M
known stream has been brought in check
and made to serve the purposes of man.
An analysis Of the water by State Chem
ist Herman Harms has shown a density
Of 6.67 per cent of salt in the water. and
natural temperature of 40 degrees.
Other hot springs have been discovered
IN and near Salt Lake containing sulphur
water but this is the first time hot salt
water has been found flowing in the hills
Besides the hot salt water the new COM
pany VIII have a large flow of hot sulphur
water Identical with the water which
made Becks Hot Springs famous. The
building of a hotel at a cost of $4,000
extensive baths, a pavilion, a grill room
and an automobile club house.
The hot salt and hot sulphur streams
are only 10 feet apart, the sulphur stream
running north and south and the salt
water running east and west. Wells will
be sunk in both instances. one fifty-twO
and the other fifty-three feet deep. The
water now comes to the surface almost
as a flowing well. and far more water
lhan could possibly be needed for the
baths has been developed.
Negotiations have been closed with off
cials Of the Utah Light K Railway com
pany for a double track street car sys-
TEN from Salt Lake to the new sanitarium
