IN his memorable orahon, the Republic of
Mexico must riss again, and the friends Of
liberty In Europe may rest assured that Des-
potlsm will meet with no encouragement On
the part Of the American people,
l. UTAH.
| We had a call on Monday from Rev. Nor
znan Mcleod, the excellent aud efficient pas
tor Of the Congregational Church at Great
Salt Lake City. He Was on his way to Wash
+ lington, summoned there by the Territorial
Committee Of Congress, TO testify In relation
to the af1airs Of Utah. It were we'll If gen.
tlemen 30 thoroughly posted were always re-
quircd to give testimony In relation to mat
tiers Of rational concern. From, him We learned
several items Of Territo1isl news, which will
interest our readers. -.
MINES AID MINING,
Within the last few months most valuable
silver mincs have been discovered at Parana-
get, In Southern Utah. They are situated 50
near the Colorado River that the ores have
been taken to San Francisco and reduced at
profit. These mines are attracting large
emigration, and, as they arc situatcd in the
great central silver range, there can be little
doubt that they will prove largely femunera-
tive.
The silver and copper mines Of the
Rush Valley, visited last summer by
Mr. Coliax and his party, are full
ly realizing expectations. New and
valuable leads are being discovered. The
latest Is silver and gold bearing quartz lode,
promising the most satisfactory results. Capt.
Dahlgrcn, son Of the famous Admiral, has Or
ganizcd company to work some of the
Hush Valley mines, and is now getting up
another. This company arc sending In the
most approved machinery to work the ores.
Col. Gallagher. one Of the proprictors of tho
town Of Stockton, aud largely Interested In
the Rush Valley mines, is pushing forward
mining and other interests with great energy
and success.
Very rich silver mines have recently been
discovered along the Cottonwood, stream
TINT empties into Lake Utah about thirty
miles south Of Salt Lake city. Vigorous ef-
forts will be made during The coming summer
to work them, and bring them prominently
before the public.
AGRICULTURAL, ETC.
The impression seems generally to prevail
that the Mormons have entered and occupied
al the good agricultural lands In the Great
to be very great mistake. Even near tho
city there are 1arEe tracts Of the best farming
lands still open to settlement. In the upper
valleys along the Hrers there Is an abundance
OF tho finest agricultural lands waiting the
arrival Of the industrious settler. These lands
when irrigated produce the largest crops.
Brigham Young stated to Mr. Colfax and his
friends when there last summer that he had
harvested n1nety-three bushels OF wheat To
the acre. We have had ocular demonstration
that all garden and farm products g:ow In the
greatest luxurianee in and about Salt Lake
city. The people were busily engaged max.
ing their gardens when Mr.. Mcleod LEFT Salt
Lake IN the middle of March.
Besides the mineral aud agricultural inter.
este, oil wells arc being discovered in yar3ous
localities. These Will be a source of r,cnt
wealth to the central norffons of the eon+t,
