In this district, too, are silver, zine and lead mines and a few gold mines. Within 50 miles of Salt Lake City are grouped smelters which together comprise the largest non-ferrous smelting centre in the world.

Farther south, on U.S. highway 91, the road divides at Spanish Fork, and continuing on this high- way takes the tourist through the scenic land of Utah.

Near Spanish Fork is a huge and beautiful lake, called Utah Lake. At Nephi is Mount. Nebo. Farther south the outskirts of] several national forests are passed and at Anderson's Junction, state highway 15 turns left into Spring- dale, which is the entrance to Zion National Park and its wonders.

Continuing east on state high- way 11 and north on U.S. high- way 89, the tourist comes to a little town called Hillsdale, near where state highway 12 turns off to the right along Red Canyon

and into Bryce National Park, in the heart of the Powell National Forest.

U.S. highway 89 can then be taken back into Salt Lake, after joining with U.S. 91 at Spanish, Fork.
