IudHuS VI the fdpiuty expanding DuSLuSoo |
of our city, nor afford sufficient dwelling
houses for the great increase in population.
There are some dozen buildings now in
contemplation that if added to the list
would swell the grand total nearly two
government building, which in all
probability will receive an appropriation
from the present Congress.
NO mention is made of million dollars
being expended on electric railways and
the $500, 600 that is being invested in the
present sewer system.
Private corporations have been organized
within the last three months whose capital
stock amounts to the enormous figure of
$40 OOO, 000, many of these to expend their
millions in developing the mines in this
vicinity.
Three new banks have recently opened
their doors while another strong institu
ton will be inaugurated within the next
fortnight, swelling the capital stock of the
Salt Lake banks million dollars.
New manufactures are springing up
over the city and the product of these in
situations will soon be as varied as the
wants of the people.
Within the last three months a real
estate exchange and stock exchange came
into existence both of which are in flourish
ing condition. As this Is being written the
telegraph wire brings the glad intelligence
that liberal silver bill has passed the
house which will insure the greatest re-
vival of the mining industry ever known
in this territory.
The future of Salt Lake never looked
brighter and the eyes of the country are
directed this way.
Ten thousand dollars has been expended
in advertising the city abroad and thou

the purpose of moving to this city.
Scarcely a single failure has occurred in
the city during the present year, and there
is degree Of prosperity seldom witnessed
in the most thriving of American cities.
Hundreds of investors are in the city
purchasing valuable real estate, and in
vesting their money in land that will make
| them and their children independently rich.
New stone quarries are being opened up
| furnishing the most valuable building ma
terial in the world, within few miles of
the city at little cost. Great schemes of
irrigation are being put on foot that will
reclaim every acre of desert land to the
plow.
New railroads are reaching out in every
direction, and in short time Salt Lake
will reach the Pacific by a southern route,
while the Pacific Short Line will parallel
the Union Pacific, and the narrow gauge to
Denver will be standard gauge road in a
| few weeks.
Wonderful and incredible as these state
ments may appear, they are but cold and
dispassionate statement of hard facts that
can be verified by every person who cares
to come and examine for himself.
The great advantages of the metropolis
of the inter mountain country cannot but be
limited at in a cursory way in this brief
statement of facts.
The sanitary advantages and health Civ
ing qualities of the salt air have not been
alluded to, nor the delightful scenery and
luxuriant shade of the magnificent broad
avenues that inspire the admiration of all
tourists who visit this city. Such combi-
nation of climate and material conditions is
nowhere else to be found.
The city is supplied with snow water
from the cailons that is the purest in the
world. A generous bill for public schools
over the territory passed the last legislature
and extensive municipal improvements are
in the hands of board of public works.
Churches of all denominations; two oil
the finest opera houses in the west playins
the best attractions that visit the Pacific
slope; driving circuit in connection witt
Denver and other cities; universities O.
learning: and a musical May Festival tina
received the highest praise from eastern
critics; the people with the best religious
and secular instruction and afforded al
dramatic entertainment that the inhabi
, tants of other cities enjoy.
