Show PROSPECT IN UTAH one of our subscribers recently asked why utah newspapers devoted so much space to nevada mining news and why so many utah men turned their energies to outside mining ventures to the neglect of their home state why ask yourself the same question Is it because our sister state has better prospects or is a more alluring mineral field Is it because the laws there are more liberal or the people of that state more progressive does the name nevada have to be in the title of a mining company to bring it into public favor or insure its success we do not believe the answer to any of these is the reason in the first instance the reason is obvious nevada is today a regular beehive of activity in mining operations the whole state is alive with enthusiasm and every person you meet there is boosting first last and all the time for nevada all this makes mining news and the papers are obliged to give their patrons what they want reliable and accurate news of what is going on in the active fields the answer to the second part of the question is also easy no part of the state however far remote from the mining centers is being neglected every foot of the country is being prospected A thousand eyes are searching the hills for the signs of wealth and the result of this close scrutiny has been amazing in the past few years compare Coni pare this condition with the situation in utah in the older districts where the producing mines are located conditions are flourishing and many new mines are being developed but there is a vast ter that has never been touched very little thorough prospecting is being done dan q in utah today and simply because the hire aurb of gold has turned the tide to other localities the southern section of the state has brought forth some remarkable discoveries lately but these seem to arouse but little enthusiasm there is not enough prospecting in utah should the horde of fortune seekers that was turned loose in nevada several years ago be transferred to utah the result would be astonishing we have great faith in unexplored territory and within a short time expect to see this state have the call for a big spurt in mining sensations but the prospector is the pioneer of our great industry and to him we would say prospect in utah |
