Thereare supposed to be 3,000 square miles of irrigable-arable land; standing timber; and perhaps 20,000 of grazing land. About 13,-000,000 acres have been surveyed, and perhaps one-fifth of this area,inclusive of 1,500 silver mines, has been disposed of under the landlaws. With irrigation the land produces all the cereal fruits andvegetables common to the latitude in profusion and perfection. Thepopulation is estimated at 215,000—two-thirds Mormons.
