Praise from One or Its Champions Its re.
sources aud industrious citizens.
Col Isaac Trumuu. who has taken
have Utah admitted as a state. was
seen recently at the llaza Hotel on
the eve o; his depar urc for the West.
In an interview concerning the re.
sources and the future prosperity of
Utah, Col. Trumbo said to the New
YORK sun:
THE popular impression that L tab
IL made w of wild mount in ram
yes and sterile valleys Is wrong.
Having peen born on its borders In
Nevada aud having lived in Utah
since was y years old. l know 1T
we'll. In its development IT will sur.
prise the world. 1t will be another
and greater Pennsylvania. Its
mountains are filled with minerals
aud its valleys are pri,h that they
need only irrigation, for which ma
turc has supplied abundant water. to
be as fertile II d as productive as any
I'm the Union. Its coal and iron beds,
lying midway b tween salt Lake.
Los Angeles and IAN Francisco. are
as good ana as abundant AS those Of
Pennsylvania. Its natural deposits
Of gold, silver, copper. lead, initiates,
potash. asphaltum. borax, marbles,
and GRANTEES. including photographic
stone. and all the valuable potter's
clay, only await development With
the opening OF the railruad:, which
will b. built at once, connecting salt
Lake with Los Angeles and san
Francisco. all tn Sc r sources will he
opened TO commerce, and the Pacific
coast, which now imports - per
cent OF Its coai from England and
Australia at a great cost, will be pro.
vided with cheap coal and su eriOr
iron to stimulate its manufactures.
THE Mormon people were the FIRST
on the continent to utilize irrigation.
having already Instructed 900
miles of canals in Utah and ad Joining
States Plans for tn irrigation NJ
new valleys have already been adopt.
ed. and this work will be carrie on
rs fast as railroads are constructed
and mines are opened. Many val.
leys equal ia fertility the valley OF
Salt Lake and the Pahrauagat Val.
Sey, In $ uthern Nevada, will now be
cultivated. These in time will yield
oil the tropical fruits OF southern
california. The new railroads will
revive Nevada and rapidly increase
Its population, as we'll as develop
Utah.
Utah and Nevada, both so rich In
mineral wealth, will lie the western
workshops OF material industries. In
addition 10 their mineral resource
they have al abundance OF natural
water power salt Lake City, already
the largest smelling city In this
country, will quickly grow In popula.
ton and business generally. A
$4,000. 0U0 copper smelter Is about to
be erected preliminary to the open.
ing OF the railroads to the copper
mines. several new cities will be
erected at important centers on the
line OF this road. and near the coal
and iron beds. which are contiguous,
the future will see the Sheffield OF
Pittsburgh OF the Pacific coast. Now
that Utah Is to be State IL must
2 ne, essarily attract Eastern capital,
ard within lew years many mill.
ions of money must fnd profitable In,
vestInent there. Utah Is probably
the richest Of all Western States In
patural wealth, and believe time
twill prove H. to he the equal Of any
IN the Union II has resources t.
suppo. 10, 900, 600 OF people.
zine preju ice against Utah and
the MOrmons has passed away tor
ever. Combining industry with fru
gality, they are to-day the most
thrifty and prosperous Industrial PEG
pie In the country Tney accept nc
immigrants who are not law abiding
and who cannot read and write.
They are intense Americans. They
believe the constitution OF the United
States to he an inspired instrument,
are ambitious TO make Utah first ID
tho Republic In education and re,
fnement as we'll as In wealth and
commerce, and welcome all industri,
Gus and law.abiding people OF all
Opln ons, politics, and religions
The struggle for statehood Was
long and dirlicult. But after the
MOrmons had abandoned pClygam,
the American people needed only u
lie convinced OF their good faith t
encourage them In their desire 4
build up great and noble State.
Finally all elements In Congress came
10 see aud acknow edge this, with
the result that the state was admitted
unanimously. The Christ an people
OF the Nation have thus put the new
State on its honor for the faithful re
dcmption OF its high ambition, an(
utah will justify their faith"
