Tim environment of a wealthy and populous city, like tho circumstances which sur-round and play upon a noted individ-ual character, includes every thing in nature and art which goes to build tip a stalwart, positive and well developed superstructure. Nature in the outset marked and laid out here the site of a great inland city. She surrounded it w ith a rampart of lofty mountains crowned with eternal snows. She tempered tho air of this beautiful nnd teeming valley with the tonic of the mountain breeze and with the healthful savor of its mediterranean sea. From her subterranean labratory flowed exhaustions fountains of medi-cinal waters, to whose healing streams the red men of these valleys and dill's brought their aged and ailing ones over long and well-travele- d trails to partake of these fountains of youth. She lillod to repletion the rnggtsil fasluesses of the Wasatch on the east and tho rounded hills of tho Oquirrah range on tho west with tho royal metals. On the eastern slope of tho lirst named range she ; garnered immense stores of coal, of asphalt, of mineral wax and. as recent discoveries how, of petroleum. For three hundred miles to the south, south-east and southwest, continuous lines aud magazines of precious .mil useful metals and minerals invite to profitable labor the advancing hosts of combined labor and capital. To the golden west, into the very heart of Nevada, tho waiting railways are soon to penetrate the richest gold ami silver districts in this intermotintain region. To tho north, tributary to this city and Ogden, vast deposits and veins of tho precious metals, of iron and copper abound. The foothills adjacent to Salt Lake city furnish abundant supplies of lime, tire and building clay, the finest mater-ial for tho manufacture of glass, ochres, black and variegated marble, litho-graph and building stone. From the highest mining districts down to the cultivated valleys, nature with her om-nipotent hand has graven, with fiery streams and volcanic convulsions, the canyon highways and mountain passes through which mountain workers and unearthed mineral treasurers may liud their way to the markets of the world for cen turies to come. Down these gorges tho foaming trout streams rush to the thirsty valleys, every inch of water having a coin value and a metallic ring aud ripple to the waitiug farmer. Mountain streams will forever furnish legal tender for Utah circulation by universal consent. Her rocky treasure houses and her fertile vales, now the busy hives of productive industry and clusters of beautiful homes, would be scorched by tiery sunshine aud deserted by living men. Within a radius of fifty miles, with Salt Lako City as a center, there are partially opened mineral districts, to say nothing of the larger area of un-touched aud undeveloped mining ground, to furnish tributary support of n city twice tho size of our own present town. Within this charmed circle the royal mints of Park t.'itv, the Cotton-wood-tho "Old Reliable," flashback from their growing dumps and brim-ming ore bins the reflected glories of the rising and setting sun. A volume might well be written of the ro-mance and reality of each of these prolilio districts. The writer well remembers traversing the nar- - row and only outcrop of the famous Ontario mine about the time it was sold for SoO.OOO to the present owners by its discoverers. If rightly informed", its less than fifty feet of out-cro- then vis-ible is all that it ever showed of surface sign for daws or men to peck at. The buyers secured it to work for all it was worth and they had the necessary funds to do it. How much was it worth? Time aud labor alone can tell. The ponderous and tireless machinery, which, with ceaseless energy works clay and night, reaching its long arms dowu fourteeu hundred feet along the dripping walls of this imperial treasure, can only say it is richer than ever. The monster drain tunnel, drilliug and boring its way with ceaseless blow and powder blast for miles until it strikes the vein at a depth of twelve hundred feet, reports on the same line. With one hand the miner's disbursing agents cancel the growing bills for all this extra expense and file their monthly vouchers iu the archives of tho company; aud with the other deliver the regular mouthly certificates of dividend to the fortunate stockholders. The mighty aggregate of this dividend fund exceeds ten mil-lions of dollars. Had this mine been wholly secured by the monicd men of this city and its past and future profits expeuded here, what an impetus would have been given to the growth of this metropolis. Had the g men who originally invested their money in this legitimate and productive industry, placed it in the unproductive aud mis-erly c hanuel of bond, mortgage and usury what would have been, the result? So far as their original investment might go it would have proved a drag and hin-drance to the body politic and tended to afflict the souls of the investor with tho dry rot of selfish ease and use-less living. The promising future of this cosmo-politan city is to be secured by the ad-vent of adventurous capital and inde-fatigable labor. An Almighty hand has stored up in these mountains all the elements of material wealth and great-ness. Don't let us fool ourselves in be-lieving that in good time, tho destined agents will appear to work out upon this luter-mountai- n arena the visible promiso of a glorious future. Salt Lake City is the beautiful gateway, the depot and entre-po- t of this mighty mountain empire the cosmopolitan metropolis that shall grow with the growth of five hundred miles in every direction of tho richest tributary coun-try on the face of the globe. Time and space fail in this issue to give any de-tails even from present knowledge of the multiplied and multiplying factor working in favor Of the rapid growth of jOiirZion. J.F. B. 1870. The church now has J8 ministers in the territory, and there are over iiO houses of worship, with a membership of over 1000.' It is only fair to say that the prosperous condition, of the Method-ist church in Utah is duo to a great ex-tent to the faithful and energetic work of Rev. Dr. Iliff, the superintendent of the Utah missiou, who has labored here for fourteen rears. Tiik annual meeting of the Utah mi-si- of the Methodist church is now in session in this city. It is the twentieth x unive rsary of the begiuuiug of Method ist work iu this territory, and promises to be a very interesting gathering.

The election of a board of education in this city on the ,14th of July is a much more important matter than some people suppose. This election is to be held under the new school law, which provides for the election of two trus-tees from each of the live municipal wards. These ten trustees, with tho mayor as chairman, shall con-stitute (he board "of education. This board shall have live coutrol and super-vision of tho schools. It is expected that uuder the new regime the school system of this city .will' bo greatly im-proved a consummation devoutly to bo wished. !The plan i to give the city a complete graded school system, just as they have in Denver or Omaha, so that a pupil can begiu in tho lowest class of the primary department and go steadily through to graduation in the high school. There has been a great deal of just complaint, more especially among the new comers, in regard to the lack of proper school facilities iu Salt Lake, and to such people the coming improve-ment will bo most warmly welcomed. It is no doubt true that many people have been deterred from coming here by tho absence of graded school. The present condition of the schools is anything but creditable to the city. The principal defect is a lamentable lack of accommodations.- There are twenty-on- e school districts, each dis-trict having its own management, thus preventing any uniformity of system. Only about 30 per cent of the children of school ago were iu daily attendance at the schools last year, and only 52 per cent of those enrolled. The seat-ing capacity will accommodate only about one-thir- of thechildreu of school age. The. buildings, as a rule, are very poor structures indeed. There are no graded schools whatever. Tho schools at present are supported by a territo-rial tax. Last year it was three mills. This county paid M7.000, aud go'j back only about one-hal- f of this amouut. This was owing to the apportionment system, which, as shown by the above statement, is unjust. Each district, however, could tax itself. The result has been, uuder this peculiar system, that in this city, whenever the Liberals have got control of a district, they have gouj to work ami built good school houses, ard sumo of the districts under the rale of th.3 l'eople's party have done the same thing. The seventh district school is the best in the city. This district was the first one tho Liberals got control of, and under their management the school has attained such a degree of excellence that members of the People's party aro now sending their children there as freely as tho Liberals, and they even come from other districts. . Iu the eighth vyard' district there is a small ad .be school house for forty pu-pils, and behiiid.it is another house that accommodates about the same number. The ninth district, under Liberal ad-ministration, has a handsome school house. . There are 2200 children of school age iu the fourteenth and sixteenth ward districts and there is uot seating capac-ity for one-thir- d of them. The fourteenth' district, which is under Liberal coutrol, is building a Hue school house to cost WO, 000. In tho Third and Fortrth municipal wards there is a chance for the Liberals to carry the election, aud thus increase the extent of their jurisdiction over tho schools. The Third ward embraces the sixteenth, seventeenth, nineteenth and twenty-secon- d school districts. Iu tho sixteenth district the school house is a poorly ventilated one-stor- y building. The seventeenth has a fair building. The school houses in the nineteenth and twenty-secon- d districts are old tumble-down adobe structures. In tho Fourth municipal ward there are three districts eighteenth, twen-tieth and twonty-first- . In the eighteenth district a shameful state of affairs exists. This district, in which most of the wealthy and influential members of tho People's party live. does not own a school site, and when the Liberals tried to have a tax levied to purchase some ground, tho proposition was killed by the oppo-- ' sition of the People's party. The school is held in a small rented build-ing, and all the property that tbo dis-trict owns consists of tho benches in this alleged school house. Tho twen-tieth district lias only a fair school building whilo the twenty-firs- t has none at all. We have preseuled the above facts for the careful consideration of our readers, who should post themselves ou the coming school election. The Lib-erals point with pride to tho work they have done iu the way of building up tho schools wherever they have had au opportunity iu this city, and their work has . beeu endorsed by those members ol the People's party who desire to see their children get as good an education as possible. That the Liberals will extend their ex-cellent work thcro is not tho least doubt, and they should be supported by every intelligent and unprejudiced raau of botli parties. Two years ago tho Feople's party refuted to do any-thing to help the schools, but we be-lieve that at this election a large num-ber of the individual members of that party will vote for first-clas- s Liberal candidates, as they have beeorno con-vinced that the Liberals propose to give to Salt Lake a school system that will be a credit to the city. The Liberals, how- - ever, must uoniiuate only intelligent and progressive men. who have the best interests of the city at heart. Much depends upon tho selection, of candi-dates upon whom no damaging criti-- ! j cisiiis cau be passed. It is hoped that the Liberal oonveuliou next .Saturday; evening will make uo mistake in anv j candidate. Gieat cure should bo taken j in choosing the candidates for d and Fourth municipal wards, in which (lie Liberals propo-- e making a strong fight with good prnpect of victory. i " c ; ARRIVALS AM) CLOSE OF MAILS.

A traveler from Lien-Kian- in the Foo-Cho- w prefecture (China), relates the following curious custom prevalent there among the superstitious people : "Just outside the city gate of Lien-Kian- g is a lake, in are over 100 'k'ing,' (a'k'ing'is 100 mow,' or 15.18 acres). By the lake is an ancient tomb of some distinguished officer of state, before which, as guardians, stand facing each other two colossal statues, one represent-ing a civil and the other a military offi-cial. The former has his back to the lake and his face to the west, the latter has his back to the hill and faces east. Long years have they stood there, iu lifelike attitude, absorbing the warmth of the smi by day and bathed in the pure rays of the moon by night, nntil at last, in popular belief, they have become ling acquired life and power. The people have recourse to the stone civil-ian in all love troubles'. ' The perfumed smoke of incense curls round his kindly, thoughtful face, and complaints of con-jugal unhappineas and longings of suf-fering lovers for a meeting are whispered into the cold ear of this mandarin, hut only whispered so as not to be overheard by his military colleague, who stands there forbidding and frowning as if he had sterner affairs to attend to than poor lovers' woes." New York Times. The Goddess of Liberty for the Salt Lake Fourth of July celebration is to be chosen by ballot. Tho committee did not dare make the selection for fear of a combined assault from disappoint-ed beauties. The San Francisco Chronicle cele-brated its twenty-fift- h anniversary the other day by throwing open to the pub-lic its magnificent new building. The Salt Lake Timks will celebrate its next anniversary iu a similar way. The sidewalks in the business center still remain in a disgraceful condition. This is especially true of Main street. The miserable worn-ou- t walks on that busy thoroughfare should at once be condemned, and replaced with good f substantial material. Main street is one of the most crowded avenues iu this country, aud it is entitled to decent walks. The people demand this im-provement, and tho city council should take immediate action iu regard to tho matter.

An address, sjgued by over one thousand business men and bankers in the leading cities and towns has been issued to the people, calling on them to vole against prohibi-tion. The address is a strong docu-ment, and gives as the reason why pro-hibition should be voted down that a prohibition amendment will injure busi-ness aud depreciate real estato values in Nebraska as it has in Iowa and Kansas. The signers of tho address ' are .tho very best business men. No saloou keeper or liquor dealer has becu allowed to sign. Death has removed another distin-guished citizen in tho person of ' Hon. George W. McCreary. His death oc-curred in Kansas City.. He was a na-tive of ludiana. In 18M Mr, McCreary began the practice of law in Iowa, and at once took an active part in politics. Ho served several terms iu both branches of the legislature, aud in 1808 he was elected to congress, and served until 18TT. He it was who, in 1870, in-troduced the electoral commission bill. He was secretary of war for two years under the Hayes administration, which position he resigned to accept a circuit judgeship. His record on the bench was very creditable. Iu 1884 Judge McCreary resigned his position on the bench, and'became the general consult-ing attorney of the Santa Fe road. 'cLirWfiD AND CONDENSED.

One of tho problems is puzzling the brains of the Denver Republican.
