Utah a. q Minfng Field.

Yesterday q gentleman visited this Office,
says the Salt Lake Tribune, who has spent
the past year in Frisco District. He is q
miner and assayer and his whole time has
been occupied in studying the country and
testing the ores. He is familiar with Colo
RADIO and gives 1t as his opinion that so far
% surface indications can be trusted, Frisco
District has quite as much promise Of
wealth and permanency as any district in
Colorado. He has no mines for sale. SO his
words are entitled to particular considera-
ton. Another gentleman showed US q list
Of some Of the mines Of Mount Badly Dis
trict and gave US brief descriptions Of
them and the prices at which they might at
present be purchased. 1t is sufficient to
say they seem to be better bargains than
nave been offered for q long time in any
mining region, convenient, as they aye, to
transportation and we'll supplied with IA
cilities for working. These are hui two Of
the districts Of Utah. Besides them there
are seventy-eight other mining districts in
this Territory. The railroad south runs
between these districts for 225 miles. There
are branch roads to some particular mining
districts and to convenient and i~nexhausti-
Bile coal fields. Supplies Of all kinda are
reasonably cheap. Labor Is cheaper than
in Nevada, and charooal-a serious fea-
ture--is only about half as expensive as in
Nevada. Our climate Ia much mildsr than
that Of Colorado. much pleasanter than
that Of Arizona. Here are some Of the ad-
vantages which Utah presents. and II there
is not . mining boom in store for the Ter
ritory by and by, then there is nothing in
signs. To the foregoing there may be added
that In this city there Is . market where
cash Ia paid for any form Of ores or bull
lion. and sampling works are convenient
at which to test ores. There are not yet .
dozen deep holes in the Territory. and SO
far in any reasonable formation NO mine
has ever given out. Utah can afford to
wait; her day Ia coming.

General Garleld's Credit MobiIier
Record.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York sum-
From his Own Sworn Testimony before the
Poland Committee. Jan. IA, 1873.
1 never owned, received. or agreed to re-
ceiye any stock of the Credit Mobilier or
Of the Union Pacific Railroad, nor any
dividends or profits arising from either OF
them.
From Judge Polsnd's Report. Feb. IS, 1873
Gardeld's Testimony Perjured.
The facts in regard to Mr.. Garfield, as
found by the committee, are that he agreed
with Mr.. Ames to take ten shares Of Credit
Mobilier Stock, but did not pay for the
same. Mr.. Ames received the eighty per
cent. dividend in bonds and sold them for
ninety-seven per cent, and also received
the sixty per cent. cash dividend. which,
together with the price Of he stock and
interest, left a balance Of 1929. This sum
was paid over to Mr.. Garfield by q check
on the Sergeant-at-Arms, and then Mr..
Garfield understood this sum was the bal
ance OF dividends after paying for the stock.
From the New York Times. Feb. 10. 1878.
Messrs. Kelley and Garfield presents a
most distressing figure. Their participa-
ton in the Credit Mobilier affair is compli-
Gated by the most unfortunate contradic-
tons Of testimony.
From the New York Times. Feb. 90. 1873
The character Of the Credit Mobilier
was no secret. The source Of its profits
was very we'll known at the time Congress
men bought it. Though Cakes Ames may
have succeeded in concealing his own
| motive, which was to bride Congressman,
| their acceptance Of the stock was not on
| that account innocent. The dishonor Of
| the act, as q participation in an obvious
fraud, still remains.
Some Of them have INDUCED in testi-
mony with reference to the matter which
| has been contradicted. The committee
distinctly rejects the testimony Of several
| Of the members. This can only be done
ON the ground that it is untrue. But un-
true testimony given under oath is morally,
if not legally, perjury. ~.
1t is the clear duty Of Congress to visit
with punishment al vino took Credit Mo-
| bilier stock from Cakes Ames.
From the New York Tribune, Feb. 10. 1873.
James A. Garfield Of Ohio had ten shares
never paid dollar; received 1929, which,
| after the investigation began, he was anx-
ious to have considered as q loan from Mr..
Cakes Ames to himself.
Well, the wickedness OF all OF 1t ID that
these men betrayed the trust Of the people,
| deceived their constituents, and by e~vasions
| and falsehoods confessed the transaction to
be disgraceful.
From the Tribune, Feb. 26. 1878.
Mr.. Ames establishes very clearly the
point that he was not alone in this offence.
If he is to be expelled for bribery. the men
who were bribed should go with him.
