BUSINESS PROSPECTS IN UTAH.

Taken with the recent important
and extensive new discoveries of gold
over very wide region in Utah, the
coming business boom becomes very
apparent; especially so that the deep
SHOWS of the winter. SO far, insure
most abundant crop next season. Ad-
ded to this the building Of new mills
in almost every mining camp is of
daily occurrence. These are the uner-
ring indications of revival of busi-
ness and the Inauguration of an era of
good times which is unmistakable,
reliable and Of sure realization. Utah
is not in debt as that term is under
stood in other states. Her people are
indeed comparatively free from debt,
and many of them, having learned the
worth Of economy in the past, have
plenty of money to enable them to take
immediate advantage of the ''let up"
in the tight times and to commence
with the first. Our merchants are pur-
chasing arily and the intention is to
have in l.Tnd money enough to enable
them to strike at the situation with
effect whenever the indications are
favorable. There is hardly farmer,
in Utah LEY at least, who is not
preparing 10 take in new land and in
crease his farming operations mater
tally. Vast is true of this magnificent
county is, Te are glad to say, true of
every OF ct CO Inty in the territory.
Nor is there the least hazard IN the
enterprise, bs cause it is never gone
into upon sCAe " ich, if disastrous,
would entsi. anything like serious
loss. The rey ard ls sure to come in
the increased demand for their pro-
ducts occs.sioned by the large influx of
new people.
Added to ali this we find decided
indication in the disposition of out
side capital seeking investment here.
Take Salt Lake city alone, and there
never was time when there was more
or cheaper money there for investment
in Utah property or Utah enterprises.
So that any. clear-headed business man
who has scheme of fair promise need
not lack for the means of putting it on
its legs. Of course eastern capitalists,
owing to the fact that the late three
years of pinch has hurt them badly,
will be cautious and careful, and the
readiness to send their money here lie,
at the same time, an indication that in
their judgment the danger of an utter
collapse has passed. This, in and
of itself,is one of the surest, safest and
most convincing proofs we have that
the long night of shrinkage has safely
passed away and that the morning of
hope dawns again upon the west.
Let every man in Utah now go to
work and push things as they have
never before been pushed, assured that
next season there will be markets and
good prices fer everything produced.
No fear of glut, because the new peo-
pie will be here in force sufficient to
use up at fair prices every ounce of extra
production which may distinguish the
season. While we believe this coming
revival is to take in and embrace all
parts of the territory, yet we think We
can see the plain indications
which point clearly to the middle and
southern parts of the territory as the
regions to be most affected by the re-
awakening, while the eastern part of
the territory is to come in a good
second.
With silver and gold in fabulous
amounts, with abundance of water and
our rich acres lying ready for the
crop, on all hands, who can doubt the
future? Who is it 30 blird that he can
not see clearly lined the grand pros
perity which is to crown us next sea-
son, land in the next few years to come?
