denial to them of their re-
ligious freedom, guaranteed to
all by the Constitution; of their
right and religious duty, to continue,
in violation of the law, their polyga-
nous relations. They deny the au-
thority OF Congress TO regulate ami in

which they owe and will cheerfully
reuder TO a Power higher than any
earthly power, co:lpelS them to eXer-

AGRICULTURAL, MECHANICAL AND
- MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES-
MINES AND MINING,

1t is matter of regret that no pro-
vision has been made by the Territorial
law for the gathering and preserving Of
statistical information of the agricul-
tufal and mechanical manufacturing
Industries, and of mines and mining.
In the absence of such data my re-
port will not necessarily be as full,
complete and accurate as 1t is desiEa-
bic it should be.
During the past season the orchard
and garden products have been abund-
ant and of excellent quality. The crop
of c reals has been at least one quarter
less than that OF the previous year.
The crop of alfalfa and luceTn, which is
our principal one, has also been one
fourth less. The decrease resulting
from a very dry and hot spring and
summer.
Of the principal productions. wheat,
oats and barley, the estimated product
and the area under cultivation is as
| follows:

The goods manufactured by these es-
Establishments ind market in Utah,
Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Wy Oming and Nevada.
One of the growing industries of the
Territory is the manufacture of salt.
The salt is produced by evaporation.
The water from the Great Salt Lake is
drained into reservoirs hich are made
for the purpose; in a few days the
water evaporates, leaving the crystals
of salt ready to be gathered for the
market.
Salt is used very largely in the re-
of the product being used at Butte,
Montana, and at Park City, Utah.
For the past year it is estimated that
Is, 600 tons have been produced, worth
So per ton.
Another of the growing industries of
the Territory is the manufacture of
lager beer. In 1885 the total number
of breWeries N Utah was IA, and To-
Gated as follows: Salt Lake 4, Ogden
2, Logan 2, Park City i, Corinne 1,

The total product of malt liquor dur
Ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1886,
was "A ,6SS barrels, which at an average
plice of S11 was worth 1921, 67S. The
consumption of malt during the same
period was 61,745 bushels, or 1850
tons.
The aggregate value of the brewery
plants Is estimated at S50, 900.
OF mines and mining, my informa-
ton is that Notwithstanding the de-
preston in the price of silver, none of
the mines in this Territory have been
compelled to stop operations by rea-
son thereof, although in some districts
it has resulted in Production of min
ers' wages.
The outlook for the production of
the precious metals is very promising,
and will under favorable conditions,
and the maintenance of a fair value
for the metals produced, no doubt rea-
lie the expectations INDUCED.
The mineral product of the Territory
for the calendar years 1884 and 1885,
carefully prepared from reliable
sources by Mr.. J. E. Dooly, manager
OF the Wells, Fargo & Co. Bank of this
city is here given.
Here follows long tabular state
ment of Dooly's, published hereto
fore.
From this and other sources 1 learn
that the output for the first six months
of the present year is about the same
as that of last year for a similar
period.
The principal mining districts are Sit
uated at Park City, Stockton, Tintic,
Bingham, Little Cottonwood, Frisco
and Silver Reef. In these districts q
vast amount of capital is invested with
gratifying results. l regret very
much that am not able to furnish a
detailed account of operations in these
districts or the magnitude of the en-
terprises now being carried forward.
l have this much ito be desired in
formation from only one district, Park
CITY,, the most important in the
Territory.
I forward herewith q table showing
the amount OF ore taken from and the
improvements made upon the leading
mines.

HIS VIEWS ON EDUCATION

Topics.

Following in the line Of the Governors
of other Territories, Governor West has
submitted to the Secretary of the In
terror his report OF the condition OF
afFai in Utah. II VII be noticed that
his views on the more absorbing features
of the local condition are much
abridged; this is due to the fact that the

plete or correct it may be is, therefore,
of course, a matter of uncertainty at
present.

More than 500, 900 has been wisely and
economically expended upon the
grounds and buildings of the Asylum.
The appropriations for the Institution
are managed with care and economy,

patients under treatment at this time
is, males So, females 81, at an average
daily expense per capita during the

The average daily cost per capita from
June 1st to Sept. S0th, 1886, was II
