TINS SMALL territory enough iron tt
supply the entire world for centu
RES. The time must come wher
| this wealth of iron, yet destined to
rival the wealth of the Indies, will
offer an unfailing opportunity fsr
profitable and extensive investment
This time once arrived, it will not
be long before the mining of iron
ores equals in proportion the min.
ing for precious metals. In this re-
spect the mining and manufactur-
ing Industries are allied. But this
is not all. The foundation for ex-
tensive industries in other
directions is almost as great.
The fuel supply is unlimited
consisting of coal in many varieties,
IN Oil ShaleS, mineral wax, etc. In
the matter of building rocks our
supplies are inexhaustible, embrac-
ing varieties of granite, white and
red sand stone, lime stone, marbles
and ornamental stones. Then there
are observation-disclosures, useful as fer
tiliZers. These are to be found in
such vast quantities as to afford
means for fertihzing our agricul-
tural districts for many years to
come. There exist; also. chemical
rocks from which, nea lY5 all the
acids can be manufactured. Also
galena ores and ochfesi in every
variety from whichtthe finest white
lead and paints can be manufac-
tured. We have clays upon which
pottery and fire brick. industries
may be established, and all the ele-
ments are, to be found for the manu-.
facture of every variety of glass
upon a stupendous scale. Besides
iron, there are gold, silver, lead, an
timony, salt, copper, and other min
erals, each of which would justify the
establishment Of suitable industries.
These are some of the elements
upon which the future of Utah de-
ponds. But our territory is not
without her manufactures. She
has wooden mills, shoe factories,
tanneries, dairies, -four mills and
numerous other industries of more
or less Importance; is making eX-
tenSive preparations for the manu-
facture of paper. silk and sugar and
in short time-the foundation
now having been laid-iron will be
manufactured on an extensive
scale. In these respects Utah is I'M
eXcelled in the inducements she Of
fers to those in search Of per-
manent homes.
ATTRACTIONS.
The natural attractions of Utah
are numerous. First among them
is the Great Salt Lake, the dead sea
of America, whose shores are
visited yearly by thousands in
search of health and pleasure.
Being the largest body of water of
it's kind in the world it constitutes a
rare attraction. No tourist can af-
ford, if within a reasonable dis
lance, TO forego journey to its
shores and plunge in its eXhilara-
ting waters. The abundance Of
game and fish in all parts of the
territory; the moderate tempera-
ture of the climate sthe reliability
of the elements which make out
door excursions admissible all
through the summer and camping
out a luxury not generally permit
ted; the existence of medicinal
springs; the grand old mountains
with their canyon streams, all COM
bine to make Utah very attractive
quarter of the globe. Add to these
attractions those which are found
in the growth of cities and indus
tries; the facilities for travelling,
and the many events associated
with the history of the people who
pioneered the territory, and to
whose courageous hearts and I'm.
firing efforts is mainly due the
present wide spread prosperity and
and the promises held out by the
future, and it will be difficult to re-
call a locality where there are at
fractions, the extent and variety Of
which, offer greater induce ments to
tourists. Person and property are
as absolutely safe as anywhere.
During the principal portion of the
year the climate is delightful,
and while it is not as per-
feet as some, the dry pure air
is laden with the germs of no
disease. The atmosphere invigor-
ates, brightens and has salutary
effect on numerous ailments COM
mon to more thickly populated
Our mineral springs,
though they do not enjoy famous
are nevertheless as
health-giving as those which have
attained worldwide celebrity. In
some respects the springs of Utah
have material advantages over many
of great note: while not disagree
able to the taste, and affording relief |
for many ailments. they also recon-
mend themselves for their refresh
ing effect upon bathers. All attrac-
lions are of easy access, even those
hidden in the mountain recesses. An
