PROSPERITY or UTAU.

A letter from Salt Lake City to the New
York Tribune gives an interesting resume OF
the progress of Utah during the past year.
The following are some of the statistics:
Utah produced about 5000 tons of ore in
1870; calling one ton of bullion equal to three
tons of ore, about 10000 tons in 1871; and
reducing the bullion to ore at the same rate,
about q 900 tons in 1872. The statistics are
easily got at, because, substantially, the en-
tire production is carried by the Utah Central
Railroad, either in ore or bullion. The val
ne OF the ore and bullion produced in 1872 is
little more than $1,000, 600. A much lar
ger proportion of the ore mined was reduced
here in 1872 than in 1871; the bullion yield
for that year being in round numbers 100
tons, and for the last year $500. There are
now thirty to forty smelling furnaces in the
Territory, calculated to be able to reduce
loo, 900 tons year. 1t NAV be thought
strange that with such an ore reducing capac
ity the product Of bullion should be but $500
tons. The reason in brief is because there is
great deal more smelling capacity than ore
at present, and great deal more cheap blow
ing than either. The Territory has produced
about three millions in value during the year,
while Nevada has produced S25, 900 900; vet
Utah INDUCES in more Boosting about her
mineral interests in a week than Nevada does
in year. A single mine in the latter State
(the Belcher) turned out SO 900 tons Of ore in
1872, worth S5763 per ton, of which s37 l.
per ton was cleared.
Comparisons are odious, but so much and
such groundless Misrepresentation, to draw il
mildly, IL exceedingly tiresome. Statements
that there are half dozen mines in Utah
dividing their millions in dividends every
year that the production in 1872 was Sls,-
900, 600; that, as Mr.. Bushnell writes you, i,
10 likely TO be 500, 600, 900 between 1872 and
lS77-four years-are flying in every direc-
tioa all over the world. The Territory is
prosperous, the mines are being opened and
improved, furnaces and mills are going up,
new mines are being discovered, and new
helds plowed, railroads are building, and new
ones projected wherever desirable; the truth
is the truth, and is good enough; the produc-
ton OF silver, lead, copper, and perhaps some
esner metals, Is likely to steadily increase
ior number OF years and it has room to do
20 Ior At least ten years before it will be in

We have not heard much of tile Liberal
Republican party since last November
But we notice that ont in Cincinnati where
they originated, the alliance between
them and the democrats was dissolved the
other day The democrats held caucus,
in which a straight democrat was nomina-
ted for Mayor, and it was voted to act in
dependently of the liberals, who were ac-
cased of having acted dishonesty. So the
bonds of union arc dissolved in that vi

The neatest reply extapt to those who wish
to run" every newspaper they may chance to
buy according 10 their own ideas, is the fol-
lowing from the Lyons New York, J Republi-
can:
"a former subscriber, who discontinued the
Republican because he could not make it say
just such things az he thought it ought to say,
has, we learn, recently expressed considerable
surprise to his friends that the paper should
keep running-since he has withdrawn his
patronage. 1t was pretty close work for
while, we confess; but by emitting to put SUI
gar in our tea, and by buying cheaper grade
of paper collars, and reversing them for
second and third time, we managed to rub
along until q new subscriber came and took
the place of our respected but disgruntled
friend-and then Richard was himself again.
Nothing but rigid economy will cary one safe
ly over such Il calamity as the loss of sub
sciiber."

The bay ef Pearl river-which sounds very
much ike the title of one Of Mrs. Southworth's
romanceS-is said to be the name of the har-
Dor in the Sandwich island abou; to be coded
to the United States for naval and coalng
station. 1t is situated about ten miles from
Honolulu. 1t is regarded as an excellent har-
Dor, being almost circular in form and with
sufficient depth Of water for the largest ves-
sells. The shores are of coral and somewhat
precipitous, whilst the only drawback to the
bay is n coral reef at the entrance. This reef
approaches within from twelve 10 eighteen
feet Of the surface and is dangerous in stormy
weather. The channel at the entrance OF the
bay is about Two hundred and sixty yards
wide, Of which over ninety yards are covered
by this reef. A short distance in side there is
an island, after passing which vessels have
ample protection. Naval officers who have
!, examined the bay express the opinion that the
coral reef will have to he removed to make
the harbor available.
