so promising - 1t the present time.
From very reliable data | make up my
slate, that not less than fifty valuable
mines have bsen ad1ied TO the wealth
Of Utah by the past winters opera
tions. When say mines, mean
mines, aud not simply prospects,
mines with excavations extending In
to the recesses Of the earth not less
than one hundred feet, and Displaying
we'll defined veins of ore from two tn
ten feet in width, and Of varying
sichns1s from $50 to 5000 per ton.
Besides this, many Of the old mines
are proving themselves richer than
ever.
The famous Emma mine = eAid 10
have opened out new chamber Of ore
richer In grade aud more extensive in
volume than anything ever found be-
fore. And this, too can b said Of
scores OF other mines in Utah, and
still the work goes on, aud the list Of
treasures increases.
The mine selling operations have
not been altogether IS successful as
was anticipated, because, In the first
place, many anxious persons. urged TO
deeds of desperation by their own
impecuniosity, sought and obtained
bonds for mines. running on thirty.
sixty and ninety days time. on which
they had hopes unlimited that they
could strike lot of capitalists who
would make up pool Of money aud
pay them three or four fold the price
that they were themselves to pay for
the mine. The old story Of "niPped
in the bud" next comes in ; the afore-
said capit-u-alists could not be found !;
the bond expires BY lapse Of time /; the

While mining interests are steadily
