The Utica, on account of its location,
is probably one of the most valuab bic

Utica is an extension of the Gold Belt
on the Drake and Lambert hill, but
is situated across the canyon on the
base or slope of Creole hill. and is sur

In the western portion of Iron county,
almost on the Nevada line. and at an
elevation of about 1000 feet, is nestled
the pretty little mining camp of State

dThis camp, although scarcely two

WESTERN SLOPE FRUIT SHIPMENTS.

The fruit growers Of Mesa, Delta and
Montrose counties will have an oppor-
tunity to lay the foundations Of good
fortune this year in shipping fruit to a
market in the east which already is look
ing forward to the first consignment.
The motto Of Charles ". Myself. and
the lucky moment" may well be chosen
in this years work by the people Of the
Western Slope counties.
The crop in Delaware is failure, and
a recent article in the Philadelphia Press
says that it looks as though the soil OF
that state were exhausted for peach cul-
ture and that in the future the east will
have to draw it's supplies from other
places. Among these the Western Slope
counties Of Colorado are mentioned, thus
showing that it will not be difficult to
introduce Colorado peaches to the people
Of Philadelphia and other eastern cities.
1t also shows that the east may be look
ed upon as a permanent market for good
fruit, and that the people OF Mesa, Delta
and Montrose counties may count on
making profitable shipments to that
part Of the Union il they handle the
business in the right way.
1t is OF prime importance. however,
that Colorado peaches receive favorable
introduction to the eastern public. By
their appearance this year they will be
judged. and therefore the errors OF pack
ing and shipping should be as few as
possible. Fruit should be sent in good
condition, and it probably would be well
to refrain from making any shipments
until the crop is well ripened and the
good varieties are in the market. Very
early fruit is seldom as good as that
which comes little later, aud it would
be unfortunate if eastern buyers should
form their first opinion Of Colorado
peaches from half ripe, little specimens
not fit to eat.
There is every reason to believe that
Colorado will go ahead OF California in
the production of gold this year. West.
ern Slope peach growers have an op.
Colorado's Pacific coast rival by taking
first place in the estimate Of the east in
the production Of peaches Of fine quality
The opportunity should not be neglect
cd or slighted. The utmost care in pack.
ing and shipping should be exercised, SO
that the east may not be disappointed
after all the favorable things that have
been said about peaches grown in the
western part OF this state.-Denyer Re.

In n communication from friend OF

seemed 10 speak as one with authority
said Of Mr.. Tyler:
"Whno he does not consider the gold
and silver question an issue in the state
campaign. yet be has tecn as much u
leader Of tho silver fCIces Of the state
and has always taken as advanced ground
on this question as Senator John w.
Daniel himself
Mr.. Tyler IS right. The money question
is not an issue IN the c. ming state cam
paien. and Mr.. Tyler can afford TO say
so. because his views on silver have been
consistent and unvaying. But he knows
that Democratic principles are deeper laid
than any matter Of mere eNpedie1cy'
and he respects the wishes and the rights
OF Democrats who differ with him on this
transient question.
