"Slnce the removal OF the Indians,
tins land, lately occupied by the Utes,
has been found 10 be much more val
uable than was before supposed. 1t
contains more coal-anthracite and
bltumlnous-than does the state of
Pennsylvania, and quite equal in quail
lty. The belt of veins of argentiter-
Gus ores is being traced west along the
mountain crests, and gold bearing
quartz has been found beyond the
North Gunnlson. The lower and
larger valleys are found to be we'll
adapted to the production of fruits
and cereals, and the higher, together
with the foothills of the mountains,
are unsurpassed as grazing lands. The
most desirable agricultural lands are
already taken up by permanent set
tiers, and when railroads reach the

will at once spring up which will give

Ute Reservation Bill has been passed,
assuring good titles, thereis no reason
why sales should not be made. There
is no question about the quantity and
richness ofke mineral in this district
but it takes capital to produce it. The

blindly at fabulous figures and the
time has arrived when mining prop
