Forest Reservations.

While it may be true that the recent
attempt at forest reservation by the late
administration was so sweeping as TO
include millions of acres of treeless ter
ritory, the fact remains that no time
should be lost in taking measures to
preserve the forests of the country aud
to promote their conservation and ex-
tension in every direction.
1t is difficult to believe otherwise than
that the national government has been
heinously negligent in this respect in
the past. Not only has a most lavish
extension Of the lumber industry been
encouraged, but it has been done along
lines Of wastefuincss and disregard ",
natures laws for the renewal of forest
growth that means complete extinction
of our forest resources over imperial
areas of territory.
No resource of the country deserves
intelligent and prudent conservation
more than does this. This is true for
the immense values that it represents.
1t is especially true because of the in
tiuence of forests upon climate, soil, and
rainfall.
The statesman who will elaborate
proper system of tree culture and tim
preservation and secure its general
adoption throughout the country will
deserve very large measure of graft
tude from the future inhabitants of this
ontinent.-Leadville Herald Democrat.
We endorse every word of the above
We believe the settler and the miner
should have all the timber needed in
their respective spheres of usefulness,
but we don't believe in wilful and
criminal waste of one of natures great
est resources. Young trees should be
preserved and all waste material re-
moved and destroyed so that the danger
of fire may be leSsened
A person has only to ride through the
Ten Mile region in Summit county, or
through the upper Arkansas country to
witness the awful destruction wrought
by the ruthless woodman's ak. A little
intelligence coupled with little con-
si.ln-a ti..s, -sr- -st,c -;r.l,-~ - .a--~
came afterwards would, in large
measure, have obviated the treeless
desolation everywhere visible.
1t is not too late to check the evil
complained of and inaugurate reforms
to preserve Colorado's forests.

TINTIC MINING DISTRICT,
UTAH,

The Tintic Mining District lies eighty
five miles south of Salt Lake City on the
Rio Grande Western Railway, and is, as
shown by the records of 1896 and so far
in the present year, the greatest mineral
producing district in Utah.
The names of the great bonanzas of
Tintic. the Mammoth. Centennial
Eureka, Buljion-Beck, Eureka Hill and
Gemini, are recognized everywhere that
the mining industry is known. The
four former have each record exceed
ing 81 600 600 in dividends and the later
of over S6OO,OOO.
-Uneil Within. B..-,I
years no adequate means of reduction
of Tintic ores was in operation in the
district and the production of mines
was limited to those ores sufficiently
rich to be shipped to smeiters for treat
ment. but this has been changed by the
erection of immense combination and
concentration of milling plants which
can work at profit those immense de-
posi,s of low grade ores which fill all the
producing mines of the district. Four
of these mills are in active operation,
and three others will undoubtedly be
erected within the next year.
The ores of Tntic are greatly diversi-
fed in character. The principal metals
produced are gold, silver, copper and
lead. In silver production Tintic leads
the state, while in the production of
gold it stands second on the list. Be-
sides the big bonanzas above mentioned
there are some twenty-five or more prop
been producing mines. and to these may
be added score of others which have
paid for their development by their pro-
ducts, and upon the recent revival of
the mining industry has had the effect
OF a recommencement of operations.
Tintic has four thriving TOWNSHIP,
reka, the business center of the district.
with population of $500; Mammoth,
population 1000; Robinson and Silver
City, 500 each. all of which offer great
inducements for Investments in busi-
ness way.
AT the base of the foothills only few
miles away, is a valley Of 25.0OO acres of
fruit and garden lands, watered by the
Mt. Nebo Land and Irrigation COM
pany.
AS to the future of Tintic, it is no ex-
ageralion to say that it possesses the
brightest prospects of any mining dis
trict in Utah, and offers to the prospec-
tive investor opportunities which can
not be excelled.
The Rio Grande Western Railway has
a double daily train service between
Salt Lake City and the Tintic Mining
District. For further particulars apply
to F. A. Wadleigh. General Passenger
Agent, Salt Lake City.
