It means that the mines will prosper, that, trade will be good, and that the merchants will have good sales, because be-cause the people will all be prosperous and will be able to buy. With the farms and the mines in full production, employment will be ample, wages good, nnd money plenty. So that the outlook out-look for the year Is even belter now than It was at this time last year, and last year was a good year for Utnh.
