UTAH. 
The earlier explorers and travelers who crossed Utah on their way 
to the Pacific noted the presence of mineral waters and thermal springs, 
especially in the region of Great Salt Lake. These springs, some of 
them strongly saline, in many places furnish all the water to be obtained, 
except by long journeys. The thermal springs occur mainly in con- 
nection with faulted strata, and they also are generally saline and fre- 
quently sulphureted. Comparatively few are used as resorts, even 
locally, and none of the waters is known to be at present of commer- 
cial importance. The springs at Salt Lake City are probably the best 
known and most used for medicinal purposes. The " Utah Hot Springs," 
ten miles north of Ogden, formerly called "Bed Springs" and "Bear 
Biver Springs," are used for bathing to a considerable extent. There is 
a hotel at the springs, and the place is utilized largely by residents of 
Ogden. "Beck's Hot Springs" are probably the springs 2 or 2£ miles 
north of Salt Lake City and the same as the springs analyzed by Jack- 
son in 1850 and Gale in 1851. For a considerable number of localities 
and corrections of temperatures I am indebted to Mr. G. K. Gilbert.
