WONDERFUL NATURAL BRIDGE
Perhaps the Largest In the Whole
World Is Located in South
western Utah.

Salt Lake City, Utah.-The largest
natural bridge in America, if not, in.
deed, in the whole world, is the
George Natural Bridge in southwest
ern Utah, not far from the state
boundary line. Its total length be-
tween the huge natural abutments is
about 200 feet; the width of the
roadway" is some S5 feet, while the
span in the clear is about 80 feet
From the bed up the span is 100 feet
At the bottom flows a small water
course.
Just what produced this work of ma.
ture has for some time puzzled the
leading scientists of the country. It
could scarcely have been created nv
the wear of the water, unless there
was a very large and swife current
flowing where the little brook is now
The general explanation is that vol
canic action at some distant period of
the worlds history, was the active
agency. The existence of the bridge
Is Of comparatively recent knowledge
to the public. though the Indians oft.
en- spoke of 1t to the early settlers
of that part of Utah. Little credence
however, was given to their stories
until about 10 or IL years ago it was
discovered by some mining prospec-
tors. 1t is located in the heart of a
very rugged region that is difficult of
access.
The span is composed of dark
brown sandstone of an unusually hard
quality, and is 20 feet or more In
thickness. Engineers Who have made
careful examination of this bridge
pronounce 1t perfectly safe.
