Show ai.i OGDEtf JUNCTION T Charles W. STREET. Penrose, Editob gaturdij Erenlaj, JuljJO. 1875 When efforts were made by enthu siastic but persons, to in duce the people to turn their attention from the peaceful pursuits which bad made them prosperous and happy, to the feverish and uncertain business ot mining, the leading men of the Territory used their to counteract the movement, and succeeded. But a few, eompar-tivelwera led to forsake the mode of life which the past had demonstrated was their proper sphere. And when the "Gentiles" came in and commenced to develop what "Mormon" policy hod left untouched, who attempted to hinder them . cue. worx i ino tneir in them have And if some of lost money at the business, whose fault is it? The "Mormons" did not hinder them; the "Mormons" have Where is the not deceived them. "Mormcn" who has started a wildcat scheme to swiadle green capitalists? Where is the ''Mormon" who has "salted" a mine or bought an expert to ' bilk" a speculator or a company? We venture to assert that such a curiosity cannot be pointed out. The "Mormon" people have been advised to centinue building up the country in the old way, with the addition of the increased facilities hicb machinery and with connection other aids that has railroad world the by But no one has furnished them. been hindered from working a mine with his capital or his labor. The prediction has been made that our young men would make more by staying at home in peaceful industry, than by wandering off to the mines away from home influences aad the restraints of family and society. And many have proved the truth of the saying, not a few to their sorrow and shame. The "Mormons'" have no opposi tion against mining. They never fought it, they never prevented it. Their policy has been to follow ether pursuits, as better, adapted to their manner of life and more productive of comfort, peace and general wealth; and their history present position and future prospeets prove that they have chosen the better part. Let these who prefer mining go ahead and dci elope the vast resources of our graud old mountains. No 'Mormon" will seek to injure or deter them, and they should not attempt on their part to find fault with and villify the "Mormonf." The Territory is wide enough for all, and eacb of its material interests should be developed ind encouraged without detriment to either or bad feeling towards those engaged in the good y, TIIE "JlOItJIOXS" ANB 3IINIa. A great deal has been said about Mormon" opposition to mining. And the idea atill prevail among people who have not bad an opportunity of learning the facta in tbe rate by personal observation, that in was used to prevent prospecting, and that it was as much as a man's life was worth to attempt to dig for the precious metals tie old times force in. Utah. Refutation of the falsehoods actively circulated by unprincipled persons concerning the attitude of the "Mormons" on the mining question our maligners will be vain, so fur-aand those who are governed by prejudice are concerned. But for the benefit of strangers who are open to information, we assert that no one can point to a single case ef forcible s prevention of mining operations by the "Mormons." The only ground upon which the incorrect assertions oa this subject haee been based is the policy of President Young in relation to the development of the Territory. It had been known for many years before any extensive mineral developments took place, that Utah abounded in iron and coal, and that the mountains wera depositories of what are called the precious metals. But the astute leader of the "Mormon" people, who did not bring the people here, fifteen hundred miles from market, to hunt ."or something they could neither eat nor wear nor build with, advised the early settlers to follow agricultural pursuits, as a solid foundation for As soon as the future greatness. adaptation of these irountain valleys for the cultivation of cereals and other products was demonstrated, he advised the raining of fruit, and contrary to the eipcctations of many experienced men, orchard making proved to be a profitable business, lie led the people on to raising as well ns cattle breeding, and then urged the establishment of factories for the fabrication ef woolen cloths, and the general policy of home manufacture!), for the employment of tbe people and the general benefit and preservation of the community. Various industries sprang into life, owing their origin to his teaching, ' example and influence, and the dis covery of gold and silver by hardy woodmen ia their journeys through wild canyons and over the rough mountains in search of firewood and timber, was not considared ef any present benefit, but rather a premature uncovering of that which was better t be hidden for awhile. But no undue influence was used to pre vent persons from hunting for the metals that turn the world craiy Tbe only weapons used were argu ment and good counsel. The discov try ef coal and the manufacture of iron were encouraged, but it was con sidered that the people who colonized Utah would be far better off as an agricultural, manufacturing and pas toral people than as a miuing com munity. We have never met a thinking, reasonable man or woman whose mind Tas nnombittered by absurd prejudice, who did not applaud this policy of President Young and the acquiescence therein of the people who ae knowledge him as their leader. If tbe early settlers of Utah had gone wild after gold and silver, and instead tf cultivating tbe valleys and utilising the 6treauis, instead of building houses and planting orchards, instead of erecting mills and procuring manufacturing machinery, had gone roaming "ver the hills, and scaling the bights, and digging for and quarrelling over the ores which would have been of no value in this far off .'wildrrnesi!, what would Utah be day? labor-savin- g work. ed tbe Council to confirm their right. obtained by use, to the amount of water above specified, for all time to come.
