THE DEEr CREEK RAILROAD.
This was "A most enthusiastic and
representative meeting, embracing ~ u

many Of salt Lake Clty's strong
bankers aud business men, and many
capitalists Of high rating. II was
clearly demonstrated nj this meeting
that there would he no difficulty ~
raising one hundred anu fny or two
hundfyd thousand dollars, as salt

provided the road would be butt
directly west from Salt Lake Guy, aud

that will soon bring about all u these

ON October 20 n movement was In.
augurated by the chamber which
promises results commensurate with
the greatest expectations OF It's promo

a MEETING on MANUFACTURERS
was first called to discuss qu,siio ms
pertaining TO their special Interests.
This was most gratifying meeting,
aud much valuable Information was
thereby obtained. Immediately fol
lowing this meeting the chamber pa H..
llshed n strong address 70 the cJnsu M

urging them TO consume hsmo manu-.

now Incorporated under the laws OF
the Territory three
NATURAL GAS COMPANIES,
with au aggregate authorized capital
Of nearly six million dollars. The
American Natural Gas company has
two wells dischsrging, and II engaged
In sinking n third. One OF the wells IL
discharglng through a six-inch pipe,
with pressure Of about one hundred
aud fifty pOunds aud u depth OF about
i've hundred feet. The continuity Of
the discharge from these wells and the
pressure shown removes all question
or doubt ~ 10 the vast quantities OF
natural gas underlying this entire
valley. How much thi. means for
Salt Lake City aud her manufactures
can scarcely be estimated. 10 my
mind II will give to Salt Lake CITY n
new name ard new life. Before

that time its patronage has increased
perceptibly.
