in general the business was far from being satisfactory a fact affecting not only the mine owners the th miners an abid d others employed in ill the business buts but both directly and indirectly being felt by very every cluren of this ibis fair territory one on year ago we noted the fact that some of the districts had under undergone gons larg A depopulation of people because of being forced to seek other h sources oc c to some extent this moving away con linued in manof many the camps during zhe the past twelve months while some few ot of the districts hart had a additions to their population through roush th now new enter being opened tor for labor this leaves e ithe b v arious districts ta taken kortos aa a whole with about the same number ot of people AS there was one year

profitable table through undine finding 0 oro ro for fir futch tilte in n numerous cases this Is developing mines mine which otherwise would remain unknown for many years if the ore should ever be found the reduction ion lit in price and demand for labor within the past two years worked great hardship to the miners minera and their families rl a hardship which seems little abated the past year and yet many of them are better prepared for the winter now ihan they were one year ago in fact there Is not nearly so EO much destitution creased activity and larger g output 0 of tho the stewart wart anil and the rell of the markham mill to treaist gold ores all in west epst mountain district bang iam haan were nere important events event 9 for the year and added much to the gold output arid and cheri la Is a pros ot of another WE big mill being soon added ad ded large enough to about double the present capacity for gold frold production in tl e 1 camp placer mining jn ill that district

not ft a regular payday to ti look for forward ward to is riot not blessed with very many ot of the eom comforts forts of life while the luxuries are arc far removed from them the lack of 0 employment of miners lias bas forced a great deal of ibis has been so industriously carrik carried forward that every abandoned claim and all the vacant ground in some of the districts have been carefully examined arid and in not a few instances 1 ava new ledges been uncovered and Jonca located ted and these will be watched and developed in most cases this lias has made the country its forma form Uon cUon and its lodes much better belter krown known anti and appreciated than ever before the most ini important developments end and channes changes in mining were in hi the ireal tin tic lii illa trier which shipped nearly 30 per cent amit more ore than jt it did in ili 1893 2891 while ile M R established a system of milling which ili iff saving vae me irold eold arid and PH silver ver of otherwise north lefa ore the details of these nese mill operations a are re given elsewhere under proper headings the building at these two mills have added vew new life to the di district and the reduction of ores which could not liz is marketed promise to bring good returns to the companies in one sense bense it Is timroy reaping tile the benefits of work dope e years ago after having lain in waste enste dumps all these years while familar classes of ores left in the mines may now be removed and rallied milled I 1 and place the margin on the other side r of the credit and loss accounts these mills constructed at great cost could not have been undertaken had it not I 1 been for the gold in the or ores es being re duca in tile the mammoth mill the per cortage tit of values of metals

possessed the many thousands thour ands of t tons tois o of this kind of ore the mill would riot not have town been erected i their extensive water system would be unknown and the glorea of men now f employed would not lie be receiving wages I 1 from their payroll the op 2 era oration ion of ce this mill has done even more mari that it caused mr packard to expend a vast swa sum to erect a most magnificent mill arid and got A it t in opera llon with like results as crowned the Marn moth t enterprise while the ithe but bul lon llon lonbeck beck people will have a mill I 1 largely differ hig

grou group P and the return of major wilo who in the past did vo so much for the district he having secured tile dip catherine and proposing to work on it the district did fairly well veil jil in gold cold product and ami yet tho the mercur mill was idle for several months while rebuilding and tile the railroad was being constructed ted the starting starling of 0 the mill and railroad just with the beginning ot of this thia are very important events the marlon marion mill was a steady producer arid now the ceyer mill Js Is ready for operations while the people will put in hi a tars large mill just as soon a as the water question Is iq solved tho deep chelc country laid comparatively idle during the year excepting n cane springs gold nil mill at clifton aich sent to the market much gold cold aullion lion while the utah at fish springs marketed a little rich ore re that thai country Is still awaiting tile coming ot of a rail railroad Toad which to utah certainly to lo salt lake city catl and the de dec ep p creek country will be of ver very great importance tills this Is promised at an early date under pending negotiations the successful opening r or f detroit dis erict and the tha starting of jar a large e smelt ing plant at Lea t leamington leavington to work ork tho the copper ores and other ores of D detroit etrola it if not also of the deep creek country are very important events just accomplished shed the great horn silver was crippled in its years work through having its new concentrating mill burred burned last winter just after getting started the fire extending to 0 the great shaft house destroying it as well weil as I 1 the he ti timbering ni bering in the shaft the hoist boist and ral mill I 1 I 1 have been ri built and better than before and the shaft re timbered so that the mine mille Is again in working order the two cottonwoods Cotton woods and american fork canyon districts district s practically remained idle the past ye year ar it b being ill to them the most silent time during the past twenty years there was but little actlis activity ty in marys marysvale ale vale indian creek and other districts to the south silver neef produced only one halt half the sliver silver of the previous year and the dixie copper people did but little because of tile the low price of copper arid and the long haul to the railroad henry mountain district did so little as to attract small attention arid anc the th lato late talk of gold lit in sin sall juan couil county in the he southeastern corner of tile the territory tl Is as yet a question undecided sn as I 1 1 1 I 1 As rift as utah is in all the metals 11 inus must have margins to encourage capital arid and labor very many people here have ideas relative to this question which they axe arc riot not slow to express A prominent mining man in answering answerl nc some questions relative to his property added the following on oil the silver question but unfortunately for this country and the whole civilized world sliver silver has a decided tendency to g eo 0 lower in price it has been made the cinderella of precious metals the time of repentance pen tance tor for the of silver has evidently not is as yet come though the hand of god Is heavy upon us tor for the very co commission of this crime the idleness among the laboring class the distrust among the wealthy the fall of all true valti values cs the impoverishment of a whole nation otherwise blessed above all nations are they riot not the signs that some gome great wrong has to be atoned tor for and in spite of it all the eyes ot of our people arid and of 0 our leg legislators I 1 seators are arc persistently closed the financial cataract Is not yet ripe to 10 bo be cut allare misery more destitution tit ution is wanted to make us realize such complete blindness 11 has as it ever been witnessed in the history of a civilized nation ahat it should persistently work aral rist its own true prosperity against Us its own product with which the creator has blessed it in ili preference to any other land and this product being the desideratum of th the a world money this is what we are doing in spite of and in ili plain view of the collapse of in dust ties business and p prosperity wo we tolerate a system of slow bankruptcy upon artificially stilted gold and reject the simple the uso use of time honored silver look at a nation operated as 15 our own america bo be come the tool it if riot not the slave of england which surely holds the whip over us arc we riot not craving to be dependent upon the old foe anti and crouching at the feet of the lion why can we not assert our independence which one muldred direel years ago cost the blood of our fathers are we not a spectacle in the sight of t the whole world and a laughing stock too strange to say we see sec our great crest firari financiers ciers arid and statesmen this ard and that fina financial racial scheme and reforms of our financial system y m lo 10 secure the he return of prosperity to our country upon paper and meanwhile the truest of all money lias has to hide in ili disgrace within the closed walls of our treasury treason and in the treasury of our western hills oh fo tor r the shades shades of our great statesmen forefathers in these days of more mere politicians oh blessed light of a constitution tio n and independence upon which we of latter days are seared scared to stand oil oh that one of the great fathers would come back to sweep out the halls balls of our pigmy legislators but until the return to the wise system set sel up lip by our fathers the mines will have to continue to throw their precious white metal upon on nn unsympathetic market and do it to keep tile the laboring a people all alii P silver tal lead mining have become a philanthropic labor in most cases the owners of such mines are distributing their property their wealth among the hands while they go empty handed such stich generosity genc rosity has never before wen bien witnessed watne sed and deserves to go down in ili the annals |
