Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Resources and Attractions of the Territory of Utah There is a general parallelism of the mountain chains, and all the structural features of local geology, the ranges, strike of great areas of upturned strata, larger outbursts of gigantic rocks, etc., are nearly parallel with the meridian. So the precious metals arrange themselves in parallel longitudinal zones. There is a zone of quicksilver, tin, and chromic iron on the coast ranges; one of copper along the foot-hills of the Sierras; one of gold further up the Sierras, the gold veins and resultant placers extending far into Alaska; one of silver, with comparatively little base metal, along the east base of the Sierras, stretching into Mexico; silver mines with complicated associations through Middle Mexico, Arizona, Middle Nevada, and Central Idaho; argentiferous galena through New Mexico, Utah and Western Montana; and, still further east, a continuous chain ofgold deposits in New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.. The Jurassic disturbances in all probability is the dating point of a large class of lodes: a, those wholly enclosed in the granites, and 0, those in metamorphic beds of the series extending from the Azoic to the Jurassic. To this period may be referred the gold veins of California, those of the Humboldt mines, and those of White Pine, all of class I); and the Reese River veins, partly a, and partly b. The Colorado lodes are somewhat unique, and in general belong to the ancient type. To the Tertiary period may be definitely assigned the mineral veins traversing the early volcanic rock; as the Comstock Lode and veins of the Owyhee District, Idaho. By far the greater number of metaliferous lodes occur in the stratified metamorphic rocks or the ancient eruptive rocks of the Jurassic upheaval; yet very important, and, perhaps, more wonderfully productive, have been those silver lodes which lie wholly in the recent volcanic formations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Utah, Its Resources and Attractions, 1901 Strangers to the real wonders of Utah often find it difficult to accept the most truthful descriptions of them. For instance, many people find it hard to believe that the human body will not sink in the Great Salt Lake, although that fact is demonstrated every day in the summer season at Garfield Beach. Ordinarily it is easy to tell the truth, but when the truth is stranger than fiction, it is sometimes difficult to tell it in a way to carry conviction.

This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Resources and Attractions of Utah There can hardly be less than sheep in Utah. Pounds of wool were handled by Utah buyers in 1887. Of this about one-fourth is worked up by the Utah mills. Fleeces average 5 pounds for ewes, 7 pounds for wethers. Part of it ranges with the best California wools, as to quality, while part of it is inferior. Utah and Montana wools are considered better than the wools of the other Territories. Most of the Utah sheep came from New Mexico down to 1870. Since then ewes have been brought in from Cali fornia, generally fine-wooled Spanish Merinos, but little mixed; fine-wooled bucks from Ohio, and long-wooled from Canada. The same strain of blood in sheep does not produce quite so long a wool as in the east. It is so dry and dusty, the grease seems to absorb the alkali and mineral dust, which makes it harsher and more brittle. But since the large infusion of Merino blood, which has taken place in late years, there has been a marked improve ment in the quality of Utah wool, in respect of length, softness and firmness of fibre. It realizes to the grower, here, crude, about fifteen to twenty cents a pound, according to the range of prices abroad. The strain of blood in cattle, horses, and sheep has been greatly improved in recent years, but it is still the point requiring attention. In Vermont the breeder with the best ram has the precedence. Inferior wool comes from shiftless, careless breed ing. An authority says, aim for the best mutton if you would get the best wool.' This is the system in England, the great mutton-producing and combing-wool-producing country of the world. The characteristic qualities of the English combing wools have been developed upon originally short wooled animals simply through a constant effort to improve their carcasses for the mutton market. From this it seems that the interests of the grower, the consumer of meat, and the manufacturer of wool, are identical, and they all depend upon the quality of the stock ram of the flock.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Provo, the Garden City of Utah: Its Resources and Attractions Stling at the base of the Wasatch Range, where eply seamed front towers high and precipitously toward the sky, lies Provo, the Garden City of Utah. The pioneers of Utah entered the Great Salt Lake Val ley in the fall of 1847, and in the following spring a small party from this body started south on an exploring expedition. Im mediately on reaching the summit of the divide, between what are now Salt Lake and Utah Counties, they gazed southward, and beheld stretched out before them, calm and undisturbed, a beautiful sheet of water some thirty miles in length, hemmed in on all sides by towering peaks, with yet enough of plain to tempt the settler, and with many streams pouring out from rugged ravines, threading their silvery way through the nu cultivated area until lost amid the sleeping waters of the lake. Roaming along the banks of these rivers in search of game, and about the shores of the lake, was a tribe of Indians who possessed the spot as their own. They were the Utes, though. The opinion of some is that they properly should be called Pah Utes, or Water Utes. The fact seems to be that not only this lake and Utah County, but even the territory, ultimately derived the name Utah from this tribe, and that Piute county is only if Pah Ute corrupted, or improved, as we may choose to think.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Resources and Attractions of Utah as They Exist Today: Set Forth for the Enquiring Public, Especially for the Midwinter Fair, California, 1894 We have in Utah, or more particularly, in the Great Salt Lake Basin, a climate peculiarly local, and of a quality conducive to good health and long life. It possesses the dryness, elevation and tonicity of the air essential to the comfort and enjoyment of the hale as well as to the restoration of the invalid. Added to the other manifold blessings enjoyed by those who dwell amid the valleys and mountains of Utah, they can, when in health, work harder and accomplish more with less wear and tear than anywhere else on the habitable globe. With a fair endow ment of brains and working capital they can think faster; with brawny arms and inherent energy they can expend more force with less fatigue, and render by sundown a day and a quarter for a day's work without unusual effort. They can eat and assimi late more, and sleep better in Utah than the average man else where; in brief, under the stimulus of local conditions of climate, they can return - other things being equal - in thought and force, more and better work than the average of mankind in less fortunately endowed localities. The property of exhilaration, born of purity and rarity of our atmosphere, is an ever constant factor. Coming here from other localities, there is an increase in the force of circulation and in the normal oxidation of the blood.
