Of the Union" replied Gov. Wells. "It
is q perfect paradise Of mountain and
plain. Kate Field once said that God
had done everything for Utah. but that
man had done very little. In one sense
that was perfectly true, though not IN
the sense that Kate Field intended 1t.
1t Is true that God has filled our noun
tains with precious metals, but 1t re-
mains for men to develop them. It is
true God gave us rich soil. but 1t was
left for US to irrigate 1t and make 1t
as productive as the valley of the Nile.
1t Is true that God placed great streams
Of water In our canons. but 1t Is left
for us to harness them to machines
and to furnish the power which shall
set in motion the wheels of a perma-
nent prosperity. We are working
along all Of these lines and we are do
ing much, but we cannot do so II the
contentious Of the past are to be con-
tinually paraded before US. What we
want here In Utah Is to let the dead
past bury its dead and to hustle for the
live riches of the future"
UTAH A RICH STATE.
But Utah is not poor state, is it?'
mo, not In proportion to its popula-
tion," replied Gov. Wells. "It has the
natural resources and is one Of the
richest states Of the Union. Today our
population is Just about 250,000, and the
assessed value OF its property Is $780,
900, 900. This is an average of $500 to
every man, woman and child IN the
state. or, at five to the family. of $1,000
per family. / doubt whether you will
find as high an average Of wealth IN
any other state In the Union. This is
what we have already accumulated to-
day. AS to our prospects and natural
resources they are almost incalculab1e.

our undeveloped mineral wealth is

the national debt.
UTAH MINES WHICH PAY.
something like $500. O0G, 900 worth OF
gold. silver, copper and lead, and we
stand among the first of the states
in our output of precious metals. Gold
and silver are found all over the state.
I don't believe there Is a district In
the world which will surpass the Mer-
cur district in its possibilities. and we
have not begun to touch IT'S riches. The
mines OF Utah alone will make the
state rich. have list before me of
some which have paid big dividends.
Take the Anchor silver and lead mine
of Parke City. IT has produced about
udllion and half dollars and Is ac-
cunlufating a big surplus. The Bullion
Beck has paid 81 100000 in dividends.
1t Is gold and silver mine located at
Tintic Another Tintdc mine Is the Cen
tennial Eureka. which yields gold, sill
yer, copper and lead. That mine is
now paying So per share a month, and
its stock Is said to be the highest priced
mining stock in the United States. 1t
pays almost three quarters of a mill
lion dollars q year in dividends. and the
profits from 1t have already been most
$4,000. 900. You have visited the On
tario mine at Parke CITY. Which you
know has paid mere thaest laifteen

ut will be punished just as it was
before Utah became a state. There Is
a part Of the constitution which makes
the acts Of the legislature Furnishing
polygamy which were In force before
statehood still valid. I don't like to
discuss such matters, however" con-
cluded Gov. Wells. 'Polygamy is a
thing Of the past. It Is now dead
question, and it ought not to be as
ISOLATED with Utah in the future.
Since statehood dawned upon us we
have aimed to put the past behind us

mans opportunities had no more ef-
feet upon me than those Of any other
LOBBYIST. The men who are loudest In
claiming that such a committee exists
admit that 1t has had no effect upon
the legislature. The truth of 1t seems
to be that certain Of the legislators
came to the leaders Of the church and
asked their advice as to the wisdom OF
certain pending measures. The leaders
Of the church did not at the time feel
able to give proper consideration to
them and they referred the legislators
to other members of the church Clay
mem, who had had more experience in
legislative matters. 1t was from this.

Of supervision arose. I regard the
whole thing as tempest in a teapot
