ABOUT COLORADO MINES.
as usual IN winter, California Nevada,
Idaho, Montana, and Colorado ali largely
for sale unlimited " feet'' in rola and silver
mines. This year, too, for the first time,
promising Utah mines ore offered In the mar.
ket., Hitherto Br1gham Young has done all
In bis power to discourage belief IN the NINE
ri resources Of Utah, wisely believing that
the discovery Of gold and EifEer there would
weaken, Il not destroy, the bonds Of the
church. But noW 1t seems demonstratedth that
the precious metals exist abundantly III the

ed With good judgment; but By far the great
ct part With that utter Hildness and blindness
Characteristic of all mining excitements.
Scores Of mills were sent out, and at first met
with success But at certaln depths all the

mining has been little more than experIgsptel.
But after long and tedious trying, With all the
Light afforded by science and experience, the
problem seems aboutto be solved. Several
new processes nrt 20 near demonstrated sue

men now here, are about to erect a new hotel
In Denver worth S150, 0,OO0; and are very san

which WILL hc reached by the Pacific Railroad
In two Or three years.
