To know one Is to enjoy liberal edu-
cation. To know them all is the sum
OF all happiness. Our miners all become
rich and some OF them accumulate so
much money that we make them can
dldates for the United states senate,
and when that occurs, q scat IN our
Legislature IS frequently sought for by
our most impccunlous people.
UTAH's CLIMATE,
And then. there Is our climate. A
thriving town without a climate Is like
cat without tail We have each
year 1856 days Of sunshine and the bal
ance OF the season 20 "brite and fare
have known people from Butte 10 buy
i0ts ON the alkali fats west Of town
and thereafter dream that they lived
I'm Eden rs they basked in our sunshine
ana gazed upon the royal sunsets Of the
Great Salt Lake. Father Silyestre
yelex de Escalante who reached Utah
Lake on the 23rd day Of September,
1915, wrote I'm the diary Of his journey:
Hero The climate Is 80 delicious the
air so balmy, that II IL a pleasure 10
breathe by day and By night" He was
absolutely right And very few people
I'm Utah are DESTROYS OF foregoing the
pleasure that he mentions. our air rs
balm and our days are glorious. We
take the cool bTeeZcs Of our canyons
and mlngling them with the sailed
zephyrs OF our inland sea, We produce
an ambro2ial atmosphere as grateful To
onc's senses as the scented breath OF
the mythical tooba tree. That IL why
we want you 10 settle down with us.
We want to give you climate and gor-
geous sunsets and heath-giving air and
help you all TO become rich.
COAL AND IRON.
Thus far have not called attention
10 the marvellous deposits OF coal and
iron in Utah, our coal measures arc
immense Prof Jones, who is an au-
,horty. declares that our coal field IS
200 TO 900 miles long ten miles Wide
IN the narrowest place. while In others
4 runs up TO twenty-five miles,
We have immense bodies Of thousands
of square miles, and Of such thickness
as To supply the whole United states
for centuries" In 1908 we mined q
500 900 tons, and produced nearly 100000
tons Of coke. As 10 our supply OF iron,
10 use the language Of an eminent eN-
pert, "Utahs iron resources much eN-
coed those Of any other section or the
Union" In Iron county southern
Utah, there Is the greatest deposit IN
tln kllOMll NOIlU ANfhl N'Ahl '#lAg 80
thc Iron Mountain. and OF this Prof.
NeWberry says. These deposits are
probably not cxcellod In intrinsic value
by any I'm the world, The ore Ia mag
petite and hematite. and occurs IN
belt fifteen or twenty miles long ana
three or four miles wide, along which
there are several outcrops, each OF
which shows a length and breadth OF
several hundred feet Of compact mas
sivc ore OF the richest quality There
are certainly no other deposits TO COM
pare with them west OF the Mississippi
for the manufacture Of pig and bar IRON
and steel, and II would be difficult 10
estimate the influence they would have
ON the industries Of the Pacific
Coast" Mr.. john II. Jones, an eastern
expert, after an examination, made the
assertion that the largest single body
OF iron ore previously seen by him az
eregated 30,000,O00 tons but that ne
finds m Iron county body that VIII
aggregate l0O,00O,O00 tons,
JUST A FEW PRODUCTS.
We have asphaltum and mineral wax
and mineral rubber. We have illumin-
ating and fu, oils. We have sulphur
IN immense deposits and saltpeter and
alum. We have marble and onyx ana
alabaster We have soda and nitre and
the finest Of building stones, We have
almost everything but diamonds ana
we have money with which TO buy
diamonds. We have salt In veins and
iu brine, the Great Salt Lake carrying
20 Der cent Of salt and holding IN solu-
ton SUFFICIENT to load a train OF cars
which would reach 100 times around
the world and leave remaining string
OF ears 5000 miles long upon side
track. We have soil as rich az the val
Icy OF the Nile, While We have been
charged with raising Cain at times,
the charge Is untrue. We raise sugar
heets and this year we produce 6OOOOOOO
pounds Of sugar our farms are pro-
ductive and our farmers are prosperous,
our industries are varied and our fu-
ture Is assured our markets are GER
tain, for 800 miles Of country IN each
direction are tributary to our town: II
sits there near Americas great dead
sen. empowered with trees and vines
and flowers and Il beckons you 70 come.
IN 1865 the great editor Of the Spring
field Republican wrote these prophetic
words which / quote
Great salt Lake city, Utah Terri
tory, Feb. IA, 1865.
mo internal city OF the continent lies
In such a field Of beauty, unites such
rich and rare elements OF natures for
nations, holds such guarantees Of
greatness material and social, In the
good time coming of our Pacific de-
yelopment. | met all along the plains
and over the mountains the feeling that
salt Lake was to be the great central
city Of tho west"
SAMUEL BowLEs,"
That Is the city where you should
rear the granite walls OF a great temple
dedicated ia mining. Through all the
years salt Lake city has gone steadily
forward 10 fulhll her manifest destiny
with never strike OF importance, with
never bank failure ~ consequence,
always conservative. always solid and
substantial It has steadily grown In
wealth and Importance. Always city
OF homes, her industrious people are
making their influence felt and from
the wealth OF the hills they are beautl-
tying and adjoining her magnificent
streets, Standing in the very center
Of our mining section, with the pass
ing Of but few more years, the city
OF salt Lake will become the great
OF the whole mining
country.
FINAL CLINCHER.
Having made these suggestions
which indicate that the logical place
for the Mining congress is at Salt Lake
city and that geographically, II is be-
You'd question an ideal location, permit
Inc TO say, that | am commissioned to
strongly urge YOU 10 establish the
OF the American Mining
az this central city OF the
mining region. As an earnest Of our

/. The Commercial club OF Salt Lake
city, composed Of nearly 1000 Of the
most mterprisng business men Of the
state Of Utah has pledged its influence
ana best efforts 10 make the congress

Its power and influence.
