When I was visiting the Uintah reser-
Taucn recently, said Major J. ?. Nc
Laughltn. Indian inspector, at the Knuts-
ford, I went all over the mineral portion
of the reservation, except the northwest
part that the Indians object to having
thing to warrant the belief that the reser-
walton contains rich deposits OF the prec-
1ous metals. It Is purely q hydro-carbon
country. There are deposits of gilsOnite
and coal, but the formation is not favor
able to gold, silver. lead and copper.
It is generally reported that there is
gold IN the portion of the reservation
guarded so carefully by the Indians, but
1 nave seen Indians guard place THAI
way before which turned out afterward
to be practically worthless. The air of
mystery surrounding the district is al
most sure to give rise to cOlOred and eX-
aSgerated stories
Joseph r. Brooks of Phoebe, New, who
has been mining in that part Of the cOun-
try for several years, says there are large
tracts of agricultural land in southern
Nevada which the proposed railroad 20
Los Angeles Will open up
The Pahranagat valley, for example,
contains fine orchards and grain fields
that are raising products which largely
go to waste ne remarked al the Walker
last evening. The reason is that there
is no market. The ranchers use what
they need themselves and the rest is al
lowed to rot ] have seen as fine straw
berries that were grown in southern Ne
Vada as were ever grown IN Dtah or auV
other state. In the watered districts
splendid crops are raised and there is a
larger proportion of it watered than many
people think.
The railroad will be a boon to stock

lent place to ship they could 90 into the
business more Extensively. When you
come to talk of tonnage for a railroad,
however, the mines viii in themselves

be five years before a big sanitarium Is
put up on Antelope island, said Fred T.
wilkins q New York travelling man. at
the Kenyon. If New York had the Great
Salt lake, or Chicago, or any live town
in California. there would nave Deen
sanitaTium on the island before this l
was out at the lake yesterday to take
a dip and I tell you the bath is worth
going miles for AS soon as people begin
to realize this. there will be patronage all
the year round, enough to justify the
building of a great indoor pool for winter
time | tell you, GlenwOOd would not he
in it if this were done, and 1 hope some
of the railroads or an enterprlsing party
of men will undertake something OF the
kind for I would like to take a. bath IN
lake water whenever come out here IN
the winter time
