Show FKOHI'ECTIxa AND MINING. With the opening spring, Utah's mining camps ore attracting attention. Right thoy may, for the well-worn trails leading to opened and productive mines point to fortunes present and prospective for the fortunate owners. There remain re-main in the older district undiscovered veins and deposits of equal value with thoso already found. Large areas of premising mineral territory are still unexplored un-explored and open to entorprisiug prospectors. pros-pectors. Tub Times would moBt emphatically impress, upon new comers with robust bodies, good habits, determined wills and small capital, the advantages of the hills and mining districts, where, in conneo-tion conneo-tion with reliable minors of experience, they can make their labor and limited capital availablo. Don't spend tiuio and money in lo.tllng in tho city, or listoning to street corner tnlk. Visions of wealth, enlarging with evory drink of whisky these eloquent street orators can induce you to stand in for, have, and may again be realized, but it will be by strict personal per-sonal attention to the pick and shovol. You will obtain disinterested information inform-ation from men in this city who are familiar with various mining min-ing localities. Equip yourselves for roughing it in the mountains, nnd always al-ways bear in mind that homely old saw; "Koot hog or dio." If one does not allow al-low 'his imagination to run away with his judgment and discretion, there is no occupation demanding manual labor that is so conducive to health, and so likely in the long run, to furnish competence compe-tence if not wealth, as mining for gold and silver. In the first place, a sober, intelligent minor, thorougly posted in all the details of the business, can earn from ?3.00 to $3.50 per day. In the moanlimo he is familiarizing himself by observation, experience and reading, for the profession of mine-finding or prospecting pros-pecting can proporly claim to be a profession. He who isgeologist enough to intelligently understand nnd explain tho variety nnd the quality of the rocks, and the best formation for ore, who is minornlogist enough to assay and test all sorts of minora, who is posted as to the various kinds of voins and the host thoo-rios thoo-rios as to the formation of veins, will find that nil this knowledge is available in prospocting. He must, by nature and acquirement, be an accomplished mountaineer, moun-taineer, strong in wind and limb, froe from bad habits, independent, Bolf-reliant and good nut u rod. There is no better field for men of this class than the mountains moun-tains und foothills ot Utah. The more money thoy can command the better. They will find as good men in the mountains moun-tains for partners as can be found in tho world. |
