Show lilG YEAR FOR UTAH". The attention of the -whole country says the Salt Lake Stock Exchange Journal, just now is concentrated upon Utah and our wonderful mineral resources. re-sources. Presidents and nabobs may travel up and down the land in glittering glitter-ing palace cars and be waited upon )y small regiments of fawning, time serv- J ing lunatics, but their bedazzlement of the people is but transient, and the memory thereof quickly passes away to give place to the more substantial attraction of Utah's gold and silver deposits. Not only is the interest of the east aroused, but the pocket book has also been appealed to, and the capital that is now being sent to this country for investment in mining property will run up into the millions. "With '"several strings to her bow,1' Utah stands before the world like a beautiful voman,well aware of her attraction, at-traction, yet modest, withal. Strong, well proportioned and handsome, an heiress and full of winning ways and graces, she is the queen of the west, and destined to lead when it comes to the greatness of our mineral wealth. On every hand we hear of new btrikes and finds, of the making of a mine out of a prospect, and the initial , shipment of some new producer. While the Deep Creek excitement is intense and thousands of people are flocking to tlie promised land in search of gol-enndas gol-enndas like the Ontario and Centennial Centen-nial Eureka, the old established camps of the Territory are not being slighted i or overlooked, and, as the season opens and the snow disappears, the mountains moun-tains and canyons at Ophir, Tintic, Park City, Bingham, Marysvale, the Cot ton woods and American Fork will be black with people searching for V'V';n treasure, and the tnlnerhl out-t out-t "' iui. f the Territory will be increased ; by t lie product of new properties and ! new work done on the old mines. Tli is mining fever has been growing for the past eighteen months until now it has assumed such proportions that it seems as if a whirlwind had struck ths city, and the old times of 'G9 wt-re with us again. Every man you mav meet will in all probability have a sample of ore in his pocket, ncd every crowd you pass on the street will have something to say about Tintic, Marys- : vale, or the Cottonwoods, or have a wonderful story to tell about the production pro-duction of the Daly, the Uullioo-Zieck, he Mammoth or the Horn Silver, and eery day witnesses some " eil 'quipped 'quipp-ed prospect in t oulfit leaving for the hills to put in a good summer's work. The boom is fairly upon us, and enterprising men who have faith in the possibilities of the future are posting post-ing their friends by wire and mail con cerning events that are now piling i;p so thick and fast. 'J his will be a big year for Utah! |
