Show The mills of the Gods, the commis-Eion, commis-Eion, will begin to grind again very soon now probably are at it at this moment. mo-ment. The " republican grist will be down fine when the mills 'get through. Not all the frothing of the Tribune nor all the bucking of the Hon. John Hem y Smith can turn aside the blow. When it does fall there will be some very badly flattened out republican politicians politi-cians about Salt Lake. As usual the good old Trib. will head the procession. proces-sion. The next election in this new state will not he subjected to so many viscisitudes. Whenever a citizen of Sanpete San-pete county arrives in Salt Lake, the entire aspect of politics is at once changed. The republican victory of last fall receeds rapidlv. i If Utah is to keep pace with the other western states in the development develop-ment to come in the new future, she must go in now to develop her wonderful wonder-ful gold deposits. There is no state in the mountains which is richer in gold- ; ... ; ' .,.,''.'. ' '.: : ' None, indeed, which can compare with her either in richness or extent,aid ste should make a brave struggle for leadership leader-ship in this production. There is no limit to what her production of gold I might be pressed. All that is necessary neces-sary is to take off our coats and go to work in earnest. Utah is away up when it comes to silver, but ehe is woefully woe-fully behind in gold production, owing altogether to the fact that she neglects the yellow metal. Tns Leadviile gold strike develops daily. The Leadviile of the past dealt with silver, the Leadviile of today is dealing with gold. There ia'now no sort of doubt that the grand old Carbonate Car-bonate Camp will renew the halcyon days of her youth and the yellow, instead in-stead of the white metal, will hereafter glitter upon her honored brow. That she may become rich and that thegloiy of her past may be outshone by her new future, will be the prayer of all her old children. The eastern . papers are becoming alarmed again about the vast wealth of the Mormon church. Utah will swap her entire church pioperry for one block of Trinity' church stock, and make money by it. The Utah company is not a church enterprise albeit several illustrious churchmen hold stock in it. The City of Mexico is being shaken up by earthquakes underground. The worst earthquaKes they have heretofore hereto-fore been troubled with have occurred on top of the ground. This underground under-ground affair is only a slight preparation prepara-tion for something more important in a political way. Plant beets, if you are not beaten at it in the outcome; but dig for gold anyhow any-how and you can't be beaten. If Utah will invest a million dollars in the development of her gold properties this year, ehe will reap twenty millions by it. There is not much doubt of the absolute truth of this conclusion. We are getting along pretty well. R. G. Dun & Co. report 14,299 failures for "94 against 15,242 the year before with amounts last year of $163,233,404 as against $346,779,889 in 1893. This shows progress in the right direction. The senatorial contest in Idaho promises to be fierce and interesting. We suppose the place will fall to the man who has the most money, be it Shonp or Sweet. There are no complaints that the Fnow supply in the mountains is Bhort just now. The fact is there is abundance abun-dance for all present purposes. - The Result of the decision with regard re-gard to the official count will be looked ar with interest. |
