Joseph Argyle’s account of miraculous water springs in West Bountiful

“Joseph Argyle writes from West Bountiful to the News, on the 27th July, giving an account of a somewhat remarkable process of nature in that settlement. For about two months past the mountain streams have failed to supply sufficient water with which to irrigate the land. In the meantime however, copious springs, with a capacity all the way from seventy to two hundred gallons a minute, have burst forth in various places. In some instances these streams have been ample to enable some of the farmers to irrigate their entire tracts under cultivation. The good people of that section, as they certainly ought to do, acknowledge the hand of God in this welcome boon, by which, according to the divine promise, the thirsty places are made fruitful. — Millennial Star 50:34”
