| GlObe-DemOcrat, but owing to the press
of matter in the Sunday editions of
those papers the interview will not
appear until some time during the
week 1t is exceedingly difficult to
engage the attention of these newspa-
pers. find it easier here than it was
in Chicago, and found Chicago news
paper men more obdurate than those
of New York.
The Inter-Ocean detailed the bright
/ est reporter I have met anywhere in
my travels, and [ think the matter [
gave him was the most satisfactory to
me of any so far furnished; but when
l saw the interview in print it had
! been reduced so materially as to make
| 1t quite unsatisfactory to me. Other
wise the work in Chicago was very
! satisfactory. There is already a mark
/ ed mining fever there, and the tenn
perature is constantly rising. l could
not remain to see half of the people
who were anxious to make appoint
ments with me.
Here the interest is not so strong,
but still there is much of it, and it is
| growing. The mining exchange is TAX
! ing rest from the fatigue Of the
! Granite mountain and bimetallic days,
| but 1 am informed that it will soon
resume business. met yesterday

up with appointments. l shall prob

am heartily tired of doing the things
| 1 have to do to accomplish the ends /
seek. I have not had one honest nights
sleep since l reached New York, and
that with too much casting and too
much drinking at too many times of
the day and night, and with the efforts
required to accumulate strength and
influence preliminary to the invasion
! of the newspaper world I am about
worn out; still 1 have nothing to re-
! greet, except that [ could not do more.
| When [ think of the capital 1 have
met, and the many, many men with
whom I have talked, men, many of
them, of millions l feel that the trip
has not been profitless. Our stocks
are being called on both exchanges in
New York. / have written under
standing with the governing board of
the Chicago exchange, and if our brok-
! efS 90 not now get in eastern money,
! 1t Will simply be because they do not
take advantage of the opportunities
they have
Colonel, without being in the east,

vertisement of Cripple Creek. 1 fully

not only that, but interested men are
present to protect them on the calls
! we must do the same thing we must
nave transfer agents in New York and

OF them. must be kept in eastern cities

what we are hearing now is only the
SOUND OF the distant wave, but il is
sweeping onward and before long its

the mining region. Just now II is

stock book and pen, and that if nrof-
us IN mining are evidences of the rich
ness OF the country wherein it is con-
quoted, Utah stands first, not last
among the mining states. At the
opening Of the New York exchange I
feel that circumstances intended in
| Colorddos interest ended in our ad-
vantage, and that we did not get very
-
sion.
As said before, 1 shall be glad to
get home-away from the somewhat
speedy people of the effete east. and
pack among the slower-gaited folks on
the other side of the Wasatch. I shall
see you soon.
With expressions of personal regard.
L am very truly yours,
EDWARD F. COLBORN.
Judge Colborn inclosed in his letter
a clipping from the st. Louis Post
Dispatch, which reads as follows:
Judge E. F. Colborn of Salt Lake
City, secretary of the Salt Lake cham
Der OF commerce, is in ST. Louis en-
route nome from New York, where he
went as the accredited representative
OF Utah to attend the formal opening
or the New York mining exchange
The exchange was opened February
ZO with appropriate exercises. All the
mining states sent delegations, Colo
RADIO sending about $50 citizens. Judge
| CoIborn was the sole representative
from his state, but he managed to
hold his own against the large delega-
lions from neighboring states
Judge Colborn is an able and enthu-
slastic exponent of the. resources and
possibilities of his state Il am as
tonished," he said, Show widespread
the misrepresentation is as to social
conditions in Utah. 1 am tired of being
asked about polygamy. In the east
people do not seem to understand
that 1t no longer exists; it is no longer
an issue. The law is obeyed; the Nor
mon church discountenances polvg-
amy; public opinion, Gentle and Nor
mon alike, is overwhelmingly opposed
to it. We are building up a great citv
and a great state, and since the over
throw Of polygamy there is no denom-
national friction. Mormons and Cen
: tiles hold pleasant business and social
relations with each other: their chill
dren intermarry; the president of the
chamber of commerce is a Gentle: the
vice president is a Mormon, and so il
goes Gentle settlers are welcome
and no reason exists why emigration
and capital to develop it's wonderful
resources should not pour into the
state. I am a Gentle and 60 I shall
not be accused of prejudice in emnha-
sizing the fact that polygamy is for
ever dead in Utah.
