stance OF success, parhaps, would be IN the
uncertain development Of mineral lode Of
doubtful existence; but my sols pu1poss is to
lay before the capitalists and men Of enter-
prise in the East such evidences Of the almost
fabulous extent and rchneas Of the great min

ducs them to either 50 there themselves, or
send ont relisble men Of practical experience,
to examine into md demonstrate the fact
That the mines Of Ctah o1er probably one Of
the richest fields for profitable Investment
that cAn be found On this continent. Will
