Show I BUSINESS PROSPECTS IN UTAH. ' Taken with the recent important and extensive new discoveries of gold over a very wide region in Utah , t he coming business boom becomes verv apparent; especially so that the deep snows of the winter, so far, inBure a most abundant crop next season. Added Ad-ded to this the building of new mills in almost every tuning camp is of daily occurrence. These are the unerring uner-ring Indications of a reyival of business busi-ness and the inauguration of an era of good times which is unmistakable, reliable and of sure realization. Utah is not in debt as !'that term is understood under-stood in other states. Htr people are indeed comparatively free from debt, and many of them, having learned the worth of economy in the past, have plenty of money to enable them to take immediate advantage of the "let up" in the tight times and to commence with the first. Our merchants are purchasing pur-chasing . irily and the intention is to have in I and money enough to enable them to strike at the situation with effect writ never the indications are , favorable. There is hardly a farmer, in Utah lley at leasi, who is not preparing ! j take in new land and increase in-crease his iiiining operations materially. mater-ially. V'. at is true of this magnificent county ! , Tt are glad to say, true of every ot.-i cl jnty in the territory. Nor is th' rt tht "east hazard in the enterprise, b.-iU'c it is never gone into upon s. w' ich, if disastrous, would ent'iit ;.3vt.ing like a serious loss. Th3 reciri is sure to come in the increased demand for their products pro-ducts occasioned by the large influx of new people. Added to all thiB we find a decided j indication in the disposition of out-' v Bide capital seeking investment here. Take Salt Lake city alone, and there never was a time when there was more or cheaper money there for investment in Utah property or Utah enterprises. So that any. clear-headed business man who has a scheme of fair promise need not lack for the means of putting it on its legs. Of course eastern capitalists, owing to the fact that the late three years of pinch has hurt them badly, will be cautious and careful, and the readiness to send their money here ie, at the same time, an indication that in their judgment the danger of an utter Collapse has passed. This, in and of itself.is one of the surest, safest and most convincing proofs we have that the long night of shrinkage has safely passed away and that the morning of hone dawns again upon the west. Let every man in Utah now go to work and push things as they have never before been pushed, assured that next season there will be markets and good prices for everything produced. No fear of a glut, because the new people peo-ple will be here in force sufficient to use up at fair prices every ounce of extra p-odnction which may distinguish the season. While we believe this coming reyival is to take in and embrace all parts of the territory, yet we think we can see the plain indications which point clearly to the middle and southern parts of the territory as the regions to be most affected by the reawakening, re-awakening, while the eastern part of the territory is to come in a good second. With silver and gold in fabulous amounts, with abundance of water and our rich acres lying ready for the crop, on all hands, who can doubt the - future? Who is it bo blird that he can not see clearly limed the grand prosperity pros-perity which is to crown us next season, sea-son, and in Ihe next few years to come? |
