Another feature of I lie water supply of the Territory, ipiiti; ii'arki d, is the natural underflow coming out into the valleys from under the t.iius which I universally deposited at tlie Tool cf nil mountain slopes. This deposit Is made up of gravel, sand and clay, derived fiui.i tlie disintegrating rocks of the mountain Bides, and forma, when deposited at I he base of the mountain, a gruiul reservoir, which catches all of the water emutiig down to It from the mountain slopes, mid stores it away beyond the resell of evaporation, to be slowly given out in a tou-sta-r flow as springs near to the centi of the adjacent valley. Thus in this very the minimum evaporation of basin, dry which Is not less than 73 Inches per year, there appears a great spread of wet luiid. The water derived from the melting snows is taken and, by skillful use, according to the quantity, madeI to Improve a larger area of farm than have been able to find done In any other isirtluu of the arid regions. The farmers here begin with a small tract of land, put It fully under cultivation, and, finding that they have more water than is needed for (list cultivation, they enlarge the area and use the surplus, thus carefully reaching the maximum area which can he cultivated by the quantity of water to lie had. I observe that in Utah the toiiogrHphy of the irrigated portions differs remarkably from that of all the reinulndcr of the arid regions. In this iiartleulur. that the valleys are narrow, thus bringing the mountain sloitee which furnish the wuti r used closer together on opposite sides of the valley than elsewhere. The mountain slopes also stand at steeper augUx, thus the water Is brought down frunt their summits with more than usunl velocity and can lie more rapidly and readily carried to all ports of the valleys than Is usual in regions surrounding I'tuli. This brings about Irrigation of the valley lands at much less cost than Is in the arid regions, and Is the principal reason for the greet effectiveness or the small water supply used here in farm operations. The weather over the racifle mart has been of the cxtrnoidlnary order since my arrival in these interior basins. It has consisted of alternations of excessive hot and cold waves, each extreme of temperature being occomiiantcd by very severe winds. Those acconiiwnyiiig tlie hot waves carry dust uml sand in abundance and the with great them, winds of the cold waves, snow end ruin. It has rained almost continually In Ulah for the past fifteen days, ami during that time an immense quantity of snow Iiuh fallen upon the tnouiituins.
