Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1881-06-22


The Salt Lake Tribune, which has be-
come a powerful newspaper, speaks OF
the present and future prospects of Salt
Lake City as follows:
The receipts of bullion in Salt Lake
City yesterday was upwards of $40, 600;
for the week, $l37, 900. and the returns
not all in, either. The receipts, however,
are on the increase decidedly, and grow
from day to day continuously. Salt Lake
City is the recognized center of so large
a district of country that it's Importance
in The matter Of bullion receipts and
shipments is bound to increase very
greatly. The region of mining country
naturally tributary to the city, moreover,
besides being very great, is one which IS
comparatively u~ndeveloped, in which
there are row some of the brightest
promises of immense production that any
country ever had. The Wood River
region is one which just now has the
most promise of sudden and great expan-
sion of production where but yesterday
there was nothing. A party OF well
known mining men have just returned
from there, and the report is always the
same: the almost certainty of the growth
of the country into a large and steady
bullion-produciHg camp. In the Salmon
River country, too, the developments 60
with the most satisfactory strides. The
bullion output from there this year will
surely be very much greater than any
previous season, satisfactory as it has
been in the main hitherto. Butte threat
ems to build up an independent system
of its own, the prospect there is so over
whelmingly great. All these camps nat
urally have their center in Salt Lake,
and their growth and richness will add
Just so much to the business and wealth
of Salt Lake City, as the Comstock built
up San Francisco.
OF the Utah camps, the talk is all
favorable. Stockton is active; Bingham
is doing well. The Park will see more
active development by far than almost in
the whole history of the camp, outside Of
the great Ontario. Tintic is looking up.
Frisco can take a leading place at any
time. The Reef goes on quietly produc-
ing bullion by the hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Marysville will see a good
growth, and if the strike, heretofore
mentioned in the Tribune, of Sl2, 900 ore
in the Deer Tail mine, is a sample of
what we are to expect from that camp,
then the boom there will be sudden and
mighty.
Altogether, the mining boom within the
interior country has never been so prom
Using since the collapse of the Emma
mine. It is to be observed, moreover,
that the present feeling of confidence and
strength is not due by any means alone
to the heavy productions of any one
mine, nor to the developments in any one
camp. 1t is a confidence begotten of the
favorable outlook all along the line; and
this outlook is indeed SO general, so wide
ly distributed and SO rich, that there Is
no oom for any one chance failure to
blast the whole business, as was done be-
fore. It is natural that the business men
Of Salt Lake should feel good over the
present situation, for they know that
with an increasing bullion output, which
every Indication should lead them to ex-
pect would be doubled in two years, their
investments are sure of the profitable re-
turn their enterprise deserves. With a
business increased a hundred per cent,
and the American population of Utah
increased in q corresponding ratio, there
are good times ahead. and the lucky ones
are those who are prepared to take ad-
vantage of them.
