AGRICULTURE.
While structures have been planncl
and erected, the agricultural, and nor
ticultural wealth of the county has
continued to grow. The beet sugar in

The mining industry OF Weber county
has perhaps never been heard of out

who have been Interested, but it is new
ertheless a fact, that from the pres

Claims are being worked and tunnels
are being bored but there has been no
shipment of ore as yet. The mines
at which the most promising values
have been shown are the Santa Maria,
Napoleon-M gheria, and others in the
Sierra Madre district. At the Santa
Maria mine high UP in the mountain
side the tunnel work is being pushed
and already an S0-foot pathway
through the solid stone of the mountain
has been bored by an electric drill OPP
Grated by power brought at consider
able expense from Brigham City.
UNITED CITIZENSHIP.
While structures have been planned

reason to feel that their locality is not
holding its stride with that of other
portions OF the state and the entire
west. Many obstacles have arisen dur
Ing the past year with a tendency 10
slacken the growth of the city but
they have been met and swept aside by
the progressive citizenship which is
in this city. Merchants.
business men and men of profession |
divided in politics. religion, and faith |
ally under one standard and unite with |
b common purpose whenever the city's
interests are at stake or are placed i'll /
jeopardy. With this unanimity

lions. such as the Weber club, the
Chamber OF Commerce and similar asso-
cations whose motto is boost" Ogden
ity and Weber county will always re-
main in the front ranks of the devel-
'pment of the greatest state In the
Jnion, Utah.
