CONOCO V CONOCO AGENT AND DUCHESNE, v: DISTRIBUTOR UTAH j With the end of the water period, the record tells of the beginnings of the Rocky Mountain uplift, of the formation of the Great Basin and how its rock formations were being squeezed and faulted and contorted between the Wasatch on the east and the Sierra Nevada on the west, of how the fissures and cracks were formed to allow the penetration of metal bearing solutions and of how in places the surface of the earth failed and the molten material underneath surged up causing rhyolite flows and porphyry and monzonite intusions, some of which, as in Bingham, carried enough mineral to become valuable as ore. Much of Utah literally rose out of the water to share here resources with mankind. And then came the ice ages. As the ice of the last one melted away there was formed in Utah a great fresh water lake, known an-as Lake Bonneville and in Nevada other one that has been called Lake The markings of Lake I.ahontan. Bonneville can easily be seen on the flanks of various mountain From these benches its ranges. configuration is easily determined, But it has passed into geological history. The great Sierra Nevada mountains formed a barrier for the winds of warm, moisture-ladde- n the Pacific, causing them to drop their moisture before they could pass. So this area, hemmed in by the Rockies and the Wasatch on the east and the Sierras on the west, was deprived of its normal amount of rainfall and the region became more or less arid. On the floor of old Lake Bonneville reside 90 per cent of the people of Utah and 75 per cent of its irrigable land is there. Then came man, first the savage and then the civilized man. The Pioneers who arrived under the leadership of Brigham Young, July 24, 1847, a3 a result of religious persecution, moved f;ora Nauvoq in the State of Illinois, and began the colonization of the territory They turned the water from the mountains to the soil and thus developed modern irrigation.
