[By <;. K. Gilbert.] 



Leaving Salt Lake city in the morning the party resumes its journey, 

 following the line of the Rio Grande Western Railroad through the 



valley of the Jordan, Utah valley, the canyons of Spanish fork and 

 Soldiers fork, the valley of Price river, and the great nionoclinal val- 

 ley at the base of Book cliffs. For 75 miles southward (torn Salt Lake 

 City the bold facade of the Wasatch range faces westward. 



Twenty miles west of it lie smaller ranges, the Oquirrh, the Cedar, 

 and the Tint ic, and at its foot lie Jordan and Utah valleys. The Jordan 

 valley is largely devoted to agriculture, but it contains also some of the 

 principal establishments for the smelting of the silver ores of Utah. 



The Jordan and Utah valleys are separated from one another by 

 spurs of volcanic rock, stretching from the Wasatch and < >qnirrh ranges 

 until they nearly meet. The, narrow pass between their extremities is 

 occupied by the Jordan river, whose bank the railroad follows. In
