Show THE mining review is nothing if it is not modest modesty is a virtue that is most commendable it distinguishes the progressive and successful business man from the blowhard and the quack and yet it is right that once in a while credit should be given where credit is due the mining review which has cast aside its swaddling clothes whose knee pants are beginning to look somewhat juvenile and which expects soon to be clad in the habiliments of a grown person has reason to feel proud of its past record ever since its first issue it has been a favorite with the mining men of this intermountain region on account of its reliability it has made friends with capitalists and investors its circulation has increased and grown until now it is a welcome visitor to almost every mining camp and hamlet in this rocky mountain country and it classes among its advertising patrons some of the largest and most reliable mining 6 machinery firms in america it is not with any feeling of egotism that these statements are made but 11 1 1 more of gratitude to those who have helped to make the review what it is today one of the best first class papers published on this continent such patronage 1 such friends is certainly most encouraging za 1 and while all know the fate of the boaster still we feel that we can safely assure our readers our patrons that the paper will make gradual and marked improvements until it stands as the equal of any mining paper published in the united states such is our status today A year from now we hope to be able to make a still better showing and to again thank our T patrons for their loyalty and valued assistance to THE west and northwest of salt lake there are several sections which are enjoying splendid mining booms and substantial growth t and progress 11 A great deal of interest is now being el centered in the mining 11 camps of eastern oregon and baker city sumpter and granite have taken a new lease on life and are coming to the front as prolific producers of the yellow metal the seven devils country so rich in its copper deposits is at present a magnet macnei which extends drawing 0 influence far and wide while the country around boise is not escaping the eagle eye of the mining operator the capitalists and investor this spring will witness a rush to the sections named already thousands have gone in at the open door to these vast treasure fields and many more are going and among them are many citizens of utah of salt lake this is a most pleasing condition of affairs but we mention it not so much to call atten tion to this condition because this presents a field of wonderful activity in mining as we do to point out the fact to salt lake business men inen that this scope of country is directly tributary to this city and that they should make Lr reater arreater efforts than ever before to hold and enlarge their trade their business trans actions with the sections named salt lake machinery dealers are fully alive to the promising conditions in idaho and Or oregon ecron and are i doing a heavy and splendid business in these states but the merchant the dealers in provisions and supplies of all kinds are not looking to these sections as they should A little effort on their part would double their business in these pushing and progressive mining camps the prize is is well worth working for and if the proper spirit is shown by our business men the bulk of this business this trade will come to salt lake instead of going to the coast towns |
