The cheap power thus furnished has driven steam intothe background, and made possible the operation of plants andmines which could not be profitably carried on by the use of coal-made steam. at, The salt industry is of growing importance. The principalcommercial supply comes from the Great Salt Lake, where byevaporation and refining processes, a practically pure article fordomestic use is produced, and where vast quantities of crude saltfor ranch and ore treatment purposes are In the manufacture of salt, water from the Great Salt Lake is conducted into shallowponds, where the process of avaporation continues during the hot summer months. At theend of the season, when the water is entirely evaporated, the salt is scraped up in greatheaps as shown in the view. The Uintah Reservation UNTIL August, 1905, a very considerable portion of Utah—the Uintah Indian Reservation—occupying practicallythe entire northeastern portion of the state—was prohib-ited ground. The rich areas of grazing and farming land,the metal-bearing ledges and the vast deposits of various forms ofhydro-carbon contained in the reservation, have for years occa-sioned persistent appeals to Congress for the adjustment of the In-dian rights and the throwing open of this valuable area to settle-ment.
