The firit settlers in Lehi A ' "founded better than they knew when in the angle formed by f . r Utah lake and Jordan river they OJ diald(1 tIie city Stju som(. prophetic sense must have told them that here would arise a great city (or they made the city limits generous in extent and within those limits lies enough acreage upon which to build . 4 - . ".Utah's Future Great. "' ' ' I 4 ." No city in Utah has the natural advantages so harmoniously blended towards upbuilding a great and prosperous city as has iLuhi. ; , Surrounded by a rich fanning country, that industry was given a "renter impetus by the cstablish- IJmcnt of tha Lehi Sugar Factory here. Now sugar beet farming v ,'- in one of, if not the greatest, i4 J I n'neiuis of revenue for the Lehi k) ' ' -L. .y' f"ncr, and with the rise of this fflttSfi-l"'l!Vflbiieiv,banch of his business lna .qfltlfriWiiiataiaTs. ' "Uclji'faFrhera will raise a greater acreage this year than ever. ;" 'niV;;. "fcehi men have always been foremost in the development and "Opening up of such districts and , ' camps as Fish Springs, Mam- ' ' " moth, Eureka, Mercur and Sun- ... shine and these are results of the 1 , . enterprise of Lehi citizens. But J ' ' l.'c'hi is to reap great benefits from ' V" ' the, development of these camps i. & v O' 'aa flom lhe atlvanlaBc o hcr .'.tuition she has become the r Ji'iUiral distributing point for all r" ' ' $hL mining country which sur- Tounds her and lies to the west. This is the great outfitting point . and daily dozens of wagons, ' ) loaded with camp supplies pur- ,' diaseh here and filled with hope- ; ' ful prospectors, start out destined for some of the well-known ( districts or some section as yet S nnr.rne.npr.teil. ; 5 And in fair weather or foul ! long lines of wagons loaded with lumber, produce, groceries and i ot'ier supplies nnke their daily nips to the great Camp Floyd I iis.trict which lies but 20 miles I ' 4 -" to the west. Then the Salt Lake & Western R. R. which forms a junction here with the Union I'.icitic is the main passenger route ,,. ' fjetvveen the outside world and Mercur, Fairfield, Sunshine and the great Tinlic region. The city of Lehi is ffituated in I the midst of what is known . ; ', us the Lehi mining district, ' and which, of late has come into I , ,' prominence by the rich discoveries , I " ,uiade in what is known as the West Canyon, in the northwest hills, and by the operations of the IE Hast Morcur Gold Mining and I ,, Milling Company which owns and will 6oon commence to work a i urge number of claims n few i miles northwest of the city. Over in the northeast hills lies H the Alpine mining district where N some very promising discoveries II have lately been made. II With all these opportunities for II employment, investment and II speculation Lehi is rapidly forging v3HT to the front. For over two years there has not been a vacant house in the town, although residences are being built every season and at present the city is enjoying quite a building boom. Facilities for beautifying residence IjIs are numerous. Plenty of water for irrigation purposes is in possession of Lehi residents and the farmer around the city, and the irrigation companies have had the commendable com-mendable enterprise to build an immense reservoir northeast jjf town in which to store surplus, water. Lehi leads any tity in Utah County in educational advauligcs and as a proof of this fact we have only to cite instances of pupils coming from other towns to attend at-tend and refer, the ,rcT$tr lo county School Superintendent Chrbtensen. For a few months diiri;vlhcy;past -school -year an With sucji bright prospects and having always such opportunities presented to them there is little wonder that there are such a number of cnteiprjsing .business men and firms in Lehi.
