Show MIMCS AND PKUMFEKITY. What we said yestorday regarding the Improvements in Denver, San Francisco and other cities, from the proceeds of tho mines of Colorado, California and other states, may ho supplemented today to-day by u reference to the investments made in this city within tho last year by two of our foremost mining operators, opera-tors, lo-wit: Chambers and J. J. Daly. These i wo men have put a cool million dollars, derived from their mines in I'ark City, into real estate and rapid transit in Salt Lake. A few enterprising en-terprising and public spirited citizens of that kind giviV direction and impetus to the growth of a community, as witness wit-ness the history of Denver with her Tabor's, Hill's, and of San Francisco with her Hearst's, Mackey's, Jones' utid others. And when tho day of reckoning reckon-ing arrives those men are not forgotten by the people. And we repeat that tho development of our immense mining industry will redound directly to the incalculable lii.m.li! r.f .,lt I -iL-n ('l!i- Thorn lire more tlmn one Ontario and Daly aud ltcck liullion in I'tah. Tho strikes recently re-cently made in Tiutic, Cottonwood, Hingham and in oilier parts, and tho surveys in the l)eep creek country, and elsewhere, .--how thu character of this country which is mineral bearing to an unprecedented etent. All it retiires to raise tho precious ore from tho depth in which it is now concealed, is the men of means aud onterpri6, and they will come in by the batallions and regiments regi-ments when they learn of tho prospects awaiting them. To impart to them t his knowledge should be tho first duty of our people, and to work together for that end is tho most 'effective way of attaining it. Salt Lake City is tho natural supply and lilting out center for the miner. When tho mountains of Utah shall swariu with prospectors and operators then tho railroads and shops aud stores will resound with the echo of activity utid from tho fortunes brought to light from the mines will rise imposing blocks of business structures, elegant residences, new industries and large enterprises. Money will necessarily seek profitable investment and wealth will demand added comforts.and where else can both be found more readily than in the unrivalled metropolis of the inter niouutain country, in the one city between Denver and Sau Francisco, gal'o in her dominant present aud secure of a matchless future; where else thau in fair Salt Lake? It behooves us therefore to pull all together and let mining and prosperity have a chanco at lust. Then the Dalys aud Chambers will bo numerous. |
