The entire length of the Salt Lake is, as we have seen, eighty-five miles, and its breadth, forty-five miles. Compared with the Dead Sea, the Great Salt Lake is longer by forty-three miles, and broader by thirty-five miles. When we reached the fort, we found an order had just The Rocky Mountain Zion. 193 come for a detachment of fifteen men to leave it within two hours to go and fight the " redskins. " There had been, during the preceding fortnight, a general uprising among the Indian tribes, w...hich was assuming every day larger and more serious proportions. We had found the papers of the " magic cities " we passed on the Pacific Railroad full of details respecting the incursions and encroachments of the Indians upon the settlers from their allotted reservations. Armed with Win- chester rifles, the Indians know well enough how to handle them, being dead shots at short ranges, though they are not so unerring with the rifle at long ranges as they are with the bow and arrow. The detachment of fifteen was ordered off to Kelton (a small settlement on the Central Pacific Railroad, which we should pass on our way to San Francisco), to protect the settlers there from the Bannack Indians, who had been scouring the neighbourhood scalp- ing the " palefaces " and making off with the cattle.
