smoothly and swiftly along, passing the wonders of the 

 "Narrows," the " 1,000-mile Tree," "Devil's Slide," &c, (see 

 stereoscopic views,) reaching the main Wasatch range, and 

 pass through the lower Weber Canon. Half way through 

 we come to — 



No. 35. Tiie Devil's Gate. 



Nos. 36-39. Devil's Gate Bridge. Not the least attraction to the 

 traveler is the roar of the waters of the Weber as they roll 

 over the immense masses of rock, with the rush and roar of 

 a mountain-torrent. For four miles we are inclosed with 

 nearly perpendicular walls of gneiss, 2,000 feet in height, 

 forming the central portion of the Wasatch Mountains; the 

 river rushing through it at right angles. The rocks are 

 beautifully banded everywhere. There are also coarse aggre- 

 gations of quartz and feldspar all along the sides of this 

 channel ; and high up on the steep inountain-ilanks are vast 

 deposits of bowlders and tine sand. 



Soon we emerge from the partial darkness into a broad, 

 fertile valley ; and glancing back from — 



No. 40. UlNTA, we have a view of that portion of the Wasatch range 

 through which we have just passed. 



Nos. 41-43. Great Salt Lake OlTY. Utah. A view looking south 

 from the bluffs just north of the city, giving a bird's-eye view 

 of it, and a view of the Wasatch Mountains in the distance. 

 In the center of the first view are grouped the many tine 

 buildings of President Young. The one with the many gable 

 windows is the "Lion House," the abode of his numerous 

 wives, while the one just to the left of it is the "Lee-Hive" 

 House, his own private residence. The houses are so called 

 from the emblems placed on them. Plainly visible are 

 many others of the finest private and public buildings. 



In the second view the eye catches at once the glistening 

 white dome of the great Mormon Tabernacle. In No. 43 are 

 the suburbs to the southwest, with glimpses of the Jordan, 

 and the Oquirrh Mountains. 



No. 44. The Great Mormon Tabernacle. Near view of a most con- 

 spicuous building, that always attracts the eye of the traveler 

 as he enters the city. The building is oblong in shape; 

 260 feet in length by" 150 in width. The great dome is sup- 

 ported upon forty six pillars, which serve as a sort of wall, 

 from which the roof springs in an unbroken arch. This 

 building will seat 7,000 persons, and 10,000 may be gathered 

 within its walls upon extraordinary occasions. 



No. 45. Corinne, Utah, at the head of Salt Lake, and on Bear River, 

 near its entrance to the. lake; an important place on the 

 railroad, as being the point of departure for Montana, Idaho, 

 &C. Here the stages and freight-teams depart upon their 

 long journeys, and their arrival and departure create con- 

 siderable stir in the otherwise very quiet little place.
