JOHANNESBURG OF AMERICA"
CoIborn Has the New York Press
solid For Utah,

Judge Colborn continues to win lau-
rels in New York for his splendid
work for Utah. The New York papers
all agree that he made the hit of the
day at the opening of the mining ex-
change there, and all contain breezy
and interesting interviews with him on
the vast mineral wealth of the new
state.
The Financial News of Monday con-
tains the following article under the
caption THE johannesburg of Amer
ica:''
Utah is fortunate in having one truly
representative mining man in New
York City just at the present time,
when Colorado has its one hundred
strong from Cripple Creek camp. At
the opening of the New York mining
exchange on Wednesday the Hon. g.
F. Colborn of Salt Lake City said in
his interesting and comparative speech,
where a pin could have been heard to
drop, 'fthat while Colorado had paid
S27. SAC, 4S6 in dividends from sc mines,
or an average of ST., 351 per mine, Mon
tana had paid S2S,000 600 from II mines,
or an average of $4,000 per mine;
that the newborn sovereign state of
Utah, just out of her sWaddling
clothes, had paid $26,9145o from 10
mines, or an average of $269. 145 per
miner
These figures and incontrovertible
facts show Utah to be the coming
gold giant, not the last, but the first
dividend aging mining state in the
Union. and that Colorado, so far, is
third in the race. AS Mr.. Colborn just
" quoted from the Book of Books, by
their fruits ye shall know them" SO
Utah stands of record at the head of
the mining industry Of this country.
It's ores are more easily milled and
treated. and also yield a larger per-
centage OF gold Cby the cyanide pro-
cess than those of Johannesburg.
Camp Floyd, or the Mercur district,
outdoes the famous Rand, in the fact
that free milling gold is not sought
for, the entire product being chemi-
cdlly soluble and nearly all recover
able, and its area of mineral deposit
ten times larger than that of South
Africa. Mr.. Colborn said: utah had
produced 500, 600 600 of gold and silver
and that close investigation would es-
tabIish the fact that there is no more
wonderful area of $4,000 square miles
than that Of Utah" It's veins of gill
semitic found nowhere else are twenty
feet wide by forty miles long, and its
lakes of asphaltum equal 20 those in
Trinidad. The Golden Gate has ST.
00o.000 in sight The Mercur mine
paid 100000 dividend last year and
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-02-27

now has 100000 of gold in sight"
Mr.. Colborn's speech on the eX-
change, like good wine, was fifty re-
served until the last on the list; his
dazzling humor and substantial re-
marks revived the dropping monotony
of the occasion, while the crowd, which
was hungry for the waiting collation..
yet they were more thirsty after
knowledge, applauding and urging him
to continue, which he kindly did, to the
delight of all present
Mr.. Colborn's visit with US is like a
calcium light thrown upon the resour-
ces of the state of Utah, and we do
not hesitate to say that such practical
and able men in the great cause of gold
mining, of which he is 50 worthy a rep
resentative, cannot be too highly hon
ored abroad or at home.
Associated with Mr.. Colborn is Mr.
E. G. Rognon and DR.. H N Warren
of Salt Lake City, as special emissaries
for the state of Utah to make known
its varied and valuable resources and
to acquaint the people of the east with
the favorable conditions, social and
business, now existing in this state

MERcuR AND SALT LAKE.
The Growth of One Means the Pros.
perfty of the other.


perfty of the other.
A great many of our citizens do not
seem to realize the important relation
that Mercur bears toward the future
growth and prosperity of Salt Lake
City, and although this great gold
camp is still in its infancy. and it's
merits have been but scantily adver-
tised, this city is already beginning to
reap some of the benefits to be derived
from this source.
Camp Floyd mining district is vir-
tually in Salt Lake City's dooryard,
and its continued development means
the steady, and we might say, the phe-
nomenal growth of Zion. Mercur,
though but a few years old, as far as
the knowledge of its unriwaIed mineral
resources is concerned. is already an
upIto-date camp, possessing as it does
its railroad, its WaterworkS and its
public telephone service. The place
has with rapid strides jumped from
obscurfty into great prominence, and
although in the size of its present pop
ulation it cannot boast of more than
200 souls, it is safe to say that within
six months more than 5000 men will
claim their residence within the en-
vironments of Camp Floyd district
and that within another six months
this number will be more than doubled.
What this growth of Camp Floyd
district means to Salt Lake City it is
hard to estimate; but for one thing it
ued, this city will more than double
its population within six years. 1t
means that within the shadow of the
majestic Wasatch mountains thou
sands of happy homes will be built
and that from north to south. and
east to west, from bench lands to the
shores of the Jordan river. new struc-
lures will rise as if by magic, and
where the solitude of idleness now
traffic and of trade will be the order
OF the day.
Even now the flow of the golden
stream from Mercur Zionward is be-
coming noticeable and as a result our
business men announce that better
times are coming. Householders report
that there is more demand for empty
or furnished houses, cottages and
rooms, and the everlasting realty
dealers state that the inquiry for de-
sirable building sites is on the increase,
by taking a drive around the city and
out into the suburbs, where new build
ings are going up in great numbers.
Among the dealers who report re-
newed activity in realty circles and
who predicts a rush of home seekers
this year to Zion, is W. E Hubbard,
the promoter of Oakley subdivision,
with its broad avenues and it's slightly
location ON the banks of the Jordan
river. from where the mountains form
a fitting background for the tempted
city that nestles so close to them as if
for protection and shelter. Others.
also, report increased activity in com
mercial circles; our hotels are expert
encing the quickening influences of the
mining boom, for all feel that this is
to be a great mining. year; and that.
with the growth and development of
our mining resources, Salt Lake city
will grow and keep on growing until
she becomes the greatest commercial
center between Chicago and San Fran
cisco.
