Show suits noticed in 180 from thin feature will surely be greatly exceeded during the present season. An investigation of our climate's advantages will satisfy tbe most skeptical. THE I-KOPI.E. Utah's settlers are industrious and conservative, and her farms are not mortgaged. The old unfortunate local strifes are disappearing and all classes are working together for the advancement advance-ment of the material interests of the territory. The spirit of improvement is seen alike in city aud country districts, dis-tricts, THE CITIES. Utah has many good towns where splendid opportunities are going a begging beg-ging for investments in land and manufacturing manu-facturing institutions. Salt Lake City, Ogden and Provo the principal cities in each of which there are certainly good chances for the investor. in-vestor. Heal estate is offered at reasonable reason-able prices and is sure to advance in , the near future, SALT LAKE CITY. The capital and metropolis of Utah and the business center of the inter-mountain inter-mountain region is enjoying a greater degree of prosperity today than any other city between Chicago and San Francisco. For the truth of this statement we have the testimony of many careful investors in-vestors and observers who have lull knowledge of the facts. A buildiug expenditure of $10,000,000 for 18U0 will be exceeded in 1H!I1. Many splendid business blocks, pub- nnction in Nevada and California to complete a now central transcontinental line and give San Francisco and northern north-ern California the relief the people have been crying for so long.

The completion of the splendid canal system of the Hear River company in northern Utah, and the various ditch and reservoir enterpriser in the southern south-ern country brings largo tracts under cultivation that hitherto have been considered con-sidered almost worthless. MAMFACTIIilNG. During IWiO many manufacturing enterprises were inaugurated in the various cities and towns of the territory, terri-tory, the principal one of which was tbe I.TAH Srr)AK FACTOKT, on which $JS0),000 is being expended, and which will produce a great quantity quan-tity of sugar during the first year of its work. This promises to be a great feature in the development of the territory; ter-ritory; $1,000.0(10 worth of sugar is annually brought into our local market, and tho saving of that amount and tho encouragement given to our farmers through the additional opportunities offered by tho cultivation of sugar beets will be a favorable fav-orable item in the year's forming operations. ope-rations. There is a great interest manifested in manufacturing enterprises in our principal cities. As illustrations of this we need only mention the wonderful financial success of the immense shoe factory and soap works in Salt Lake City and the cauning works in Ogden. STOCK KAISIMi. Utah being in the heart of the inter-mountain inter-mountain region, her grazing land especially es-pecially rich and her ranges peculiarly adapted to successful horse, o,ittl and sheep raising the increase during the past few years has been great and now that the cattlo business is improving nicely our people will share largely in this prosperous branch. Our wool crop for 1M0 was over in, OoO.ouO pounds and for 1W)1 may reach I I, 0110,000 pounds. More than 20,1100,000 cattle and sheep are on the ranges in western Colorado, Wyoming, Nevada and Utah tributary to Salt Lake City, where is being established es-tablished a splendid stock center and where will this year be built STOCK.

The rich valleys of Utah have a world wide reputation. Her 10,000,000 acres subject to irrigation, one-half of which is suitable for the cultivation of wheat atnl other grains, give us a basis for predicting that the story of Colorado will be repeated in Utah as well fori agricultural development as for mining. Utah's potatoes are know almost the world over, viueyards are being established estab-lished and the experiments now being made at our Agricultural college will prove our valleys to possess such favorable favor-able conditions as will surprise the west in the near future. !. lit 11.17 IJ.

The spring of 1801 opens out splendidly splend-idly for the property interests of Utah in general and of Salt Lake in particular. particu-lar. Last year's record of investigations investiga-tions into the resources of the many good agricultural districts will bo followed fol-lowed by this year's investments and the result will astonish many whose attention at-tention has not been specially called to the work now going on, especially in the central aud northern counties. Utah land values have a splendid development werk to justify advances during the next few years. UAII.UOAl) riKVKI.Ol'MENT. Utah has 1200 miles of operated railway. rail-way. In li'0 about $10,000, ooo was expended ex-pended in reconstructing and extending extend-ing the railway lines in territory directly benefiting this territory. This year financial troubles so disasterous in other parts of the country, are holding back new railroad work generally, but tht good effects of the work of Ikiio are now being felt in the increased trade brought to our principal cities and the Improved facilities and advantages afforded by the rivalry of broad guage lines aud tho needed extensions. NEW KAIt.KOAD WORK. The great railroad work to be count-on count-on for ltsifl is: First The completion of the Union Pacific line to Pioche, Nev,, opeuing up an immensely rich an extensive mining and stock raising district, and making absolutely certain the early completion j of a new trans continental line connecting con-necting Utah ami Southern California, enriching Utah in the development of lie buildings, hotels, etc., are under construction, A street car electric is just being completed that is without an equal in any city in the country of double our population. The new hotels under construction will be the pride of the west. Work on fifteen miles of sidewalks will be under way in sixty days and many blocks of pavement will be laid during the present season. Salt Lake City is metropolitan. It is a great amusement center and in opportunities op-portunities for pleasure and in advantages advan-tages as a home place it is rapidly taking tak-ing a position equal to the best cities in the country. The financial and educational edu-cational center of an immense region, it is the home city of the men who direct di-rect the immense mining operations in all of tho many districts now proving so extensive and rich. As Colorado's mineral wealth has been poured into Denver, so is Utah's mineral wealth now being used to build up the beautiful beau-tiful Silver Metropolis. With the best railroad advantages now. all future railroad extensions in the territory will help our trade directly and extensions into new territory will simply from the nature of the locations loca-tions benefit our merchants rather than go to any other point. Salt Lake City is on a solid basis. Real estate is reasonable and advancing gradually as development work progresses. pro-gresses. The demands for homes and home properties has increased gradually grad-ually as the population, now over 55. 00(1, has increased. No other city of the west has such a splendid promise of future growth and prosperity. The recital of the wonderful resources of this region has convinced many strangers that Zion is the place for them to locate in. The increased interest now being taken in in the development of tha many mineral districts tributary to Salt Luke City will certainly assist in the expect-hd expect-hd increase in valuations of city real estate, farm and grazing lands and manufacturing enterprises. At present valuations on lands are safe investments, invest-ments, and will stand the most careful investigation. Surely no other part of the west can offer such favorable opportunities op-portunities and inducements to persons seeking wealth or homes. MINING. F:isewhere in this paper the mining interests are referred to in detail. In its bearing upon other property it is simply necessary to call attention to the many separate and distinct districts in Utah now enjoying such a remarkable remark-able development. Colorado's mining booms made possible the splendid development de-velopment in her lands, and so will it be in Utah where, in addition, there is found such a wonderful combination of resources to assist in the work. coal. Twenty thousand square miles of coal will supply the west for a century probably. The opening up of our coal fields will bring forwurrt an industry which alone is sufficient to bring a state into favorable notice. AS A SANT I AHIL'M.
