Spun king of conditions in Richfield and Sevh-r county, Mr. Lnmrneradorf said that Sevier county was rapidly coming to the front, 'as ono of tho rich, solid, proeperoua counties coun-ties of the Stale. This, he Bays, Is due, 1 In large degree, to the oxteiiHive und : I profitable mining being carried on in ! Gold Mountain mining district. Tho gold-producing gold-producing mines of that district arc showing up by development In the most I encouraging manner. Tho Annie Laurie J and the Sovlor Consolidated are both working large forces of men. and there la groat activity throughout the district.'.

The banking 1 Institution of Sallna was opened for busl- J ness on the third of thin month, and bids j fair to become a prominent factor hi the building up of the town. Everybody down there has confidence In Snllna's future. Tho bank started with a cipltal of $25,-000, $25,-000, which will be Increased to ?50.000 as soon a business conditions will Justify. Jus-tify. "I am only hero for a day or two, on Important business. Times aro good with us, but prices rulo high. Do you know-that know-that we have to pay .15 cents each for chickens, 25 cents for a pound of butter, and eggs cost as high as 20 cents a dozen. Even our milk costs us 12 cent's a gallon, gal-lon, which. If you -let stand over night, will have half an Inch of cream on it In the morning. And tho best cuts of beef cost us 10 centa a pound." Those are tho prlcus which prevail in a city of nearly 5000 people, only a few hours' rido from Salt .Lake. If the railroad rail-road fare was only two cents si mile. It would almost pay- a Salt Laker to go down thcro for a Sunday dinner." 1 |
