More interest is being taken in mining
in this city this spring than has been
the case for many years past. In fact
mining is the only pursuit in Utah at the
present time IN which there is any
marked activity. and it is the only busl-
ness in which any money Is to b" made,
consequently nearly every man who mas
a dollar is planting it where it WILL &C
cording to his idea. do the most good.
and il is safe to say that there are more
people here who are depending on the
dividends paid by Utah mines than there
are who derive a revenue from other
sources. This is a straw that shows
which way the wind blows. and one
fact that in the recovery o, the precious
metals from the interior of mother earth
no on is robbed or injured. but on the
contrary, this IS an increase to the ma
terial wealth of the world.
