| Show a utah has for eais been known as a great mining country and been talked of as such in mining circled but there has not been very much activity in mining until the ear just passed within this year however mining men from far and near have been attracted hither by the immense bullion product of some of conr mines the and horn silver although they hive been known to be great minis and paying ones for a long time yet every beir adds lustre to their previous records rec the output these mines has increased with each eai until now they rank second ta none in the world this to a gortat extent has capitalists to seek aab although the effects of such investments are only just beginning to bs fajt this years bullion product will foot up between and ta for the entire territory of which the two mines mentioned produced nearly and the rest comes from mine which with a few exceptions aie yet in their infancy tale as instance es the crescent mines and mammoth the crecent Cie cent mines aie tose

if so its bullion product in the next year should double and what is true in ahse instances is truo of many other mines throughout the entire territory thus in making an estimate of bullion product for the ensuing ear at least 2 or can safely be added to the total baking between and not less than the former amount thus it will be seen that at no distant day utah will stand foremost in this most important business eicher with depth is what mining in utah 19 to depend on and when such is the fact who shall gainsay our great and glorious future this much for tho silver and lead interests during abe year coal and iron mining have also improved amazingly and the first attempt to utilize the latter has been made at ogden with apparent As there are in places almost entire mountains of iron in
