THETIME OF ALL OTHERS.

1llS IS the time OF dll OUneTS LOT MI.
Cleveland to hurry up the opening of
the Uintah reservation. If he cannot
accomplish 1t by congressional action,
let him follow Mr.. Harrison's 8 example
and open it oy executive order and at
once. The letter from Mr.. Cass Hite's
published on Thursday indicates, not
only a vastly rich gold find but very
extensive one. 1t seems that a wide
district of country is very heavily
mineralized. The ore is rich and very
soon there will be heavy influx of
prospectors there. Indeed our cores
pondent indicates $4,000 or $4,000
which we think is a very conservative
estimate. These rich lodes reach for
into the reservation and it will be next
to impossible to prevent them from
intruding. That will bring on killing
and disorders of many kinds. Indeed
there will be no end of trouble grow
ing up out of this influx OF the white
men. To contend with such situa-
tion would cost the government great
sum of money. All this would be
avoided and without expense, delay or
trouble Of any kind by the issuance of
the executive order spoken of.
The advent of that number of pros
pectors, busy hard workers, would be a
vast help to Utah in the hard times
prevailing now. Business would re-
vive and hope take the place of des
pair, plenty would succeed scarcity and
Gtagnation would be followed by great
activity. To be able to confer such a
boon in these terrible times and at
stage of the campaign where the act
will do the democracy vast deal of
good, and increase greatly our claims
for success this fall, the policy cannot
be successfully attacked.
But what is of more Importance than
aught else, the act will infuse hope into
the hearts OF every man, woman and
child in the territory, and besides it
will attract the poor prospectors from
many surrounding states and thus
would the great advantages be distri-
buted over a wide range of country.
If as we suspect, we stand upon the
very threshold of a wonderful develop
ment of gold territory. the relief to be
added to the slowly awakening
prosperity from long period of fnan-
eial and business depression would
prove most statutory aud this would
be keenly felt even in the treasury of
the nation. 1t is for all these reasons
worthy of the attention of the president
of the United States and we, in COM
mon with all other men who have The
good of Utah at hear, sincerely trust he
will act in whatever way that will pro.
duce this result with the least possible
waste of time. The Indians themselves
are not averse to the policy and thus is
removed the only cause which ought or
could restrain either congressional or
executive action. The vast Importance
of time ought to be considered. II is
still early enough in the season to
enable the new men to build houses,
get in provisions, and prepare roads so
that work could be carried on during
the winter months coming, If it is
DELAYED too long everything must be
deferred until next year and the thing
which is SO necessary to our immediate
relief be laid over for another year,
Thief . is of Utah need not lie afraid
that this ls fake discovery. Enough
is already lown to make it sure tha,
this ia on OF the biggest things in gold
discoveries on the continent OF America
If not the world. Prompt action is
tie wato word Prompt action on the
part Of the govern ment would be the
magician's wand which would turn
loose one of th7Lugast industries which
has ss yet marked the history of civil
iZatien.
