/ cred a short address.
! Major c. NJ. Wilson presided and stated

( on account of the cold weather it was
deemed advisable to hold them in the
/ theatre, as they were doing. He then
! introduced Mr.. Goodwin as the spea ker.
After addressing the chairman and his
audience the judge stated that he was
breaking rule in coming 10 Park CITY
! to talk. as he had been told several times
/ TO keep in the background and not at
tempt TO make speeches and he would be
better thought OF. He then told of hav-
ing had so many friends in Park CITY
in days gone by that he decided to ac-
eept the invitation and to journey up
here.
Il have lived in Utah for the past TWEEN
ty-elght years. he said. and during
most of that time have taken uD nv res
/ idence in Salt Lake. Some of the time
1t has been quite warm for me in the cap
itai city. and at such times | used to
enjoy coming to Park City. where I could
always get a little free American air
Park City said the judge. has done
more for Salt Lake than all other agen-

Il knew all of the old timers" said
Mr.. Goodwin: such men as Chambers
Mclaughlin. Kimball and others. and I
also know that these men never wanted
water forced on to them. as they had
no use for it. and | take it that such Is
the case with the present miners of Park
City and therefore the tunnel opening
should be the cause of much joy in this
great camp"
He then compared mining with farm
ing and declared that the former occu-
patton was the greatest of all Occupa lions.
The power having the money. he said. is
the strongest power. and he said this
money is gotten hold of through the min
ing industry.
From the time of the placer gold min
ing in California we find rapid strides
being made by the railroads. foundations
for our present good schools and the
erection of good. substantial buildings.
We do not find this condition of affairs
in farming community he said. Gold
and silver from these desert states of the
west have made the riches for the east
for the past forty years. declared Mr..
Goodwin.
IAN that has come to the world of en-
lightenment has come through mining
said he, and next the depression on the
whole country after the decentralization
of silver and how the condition of af-
fairs improved after silver was again in
use. and of the telegraph lines and old
San Francisco before the production Of
metals was commenced

count in one of the newspapers where

without money we can buy nothing.
Il am indeed rejOiced over the opening
of the old tunnel. said he. "for | know
that the Park City men like water for
irrigation purposes only.
Il trust you may all become billion
aires" and he then stated again that the
farmers cannot be compared with the
miners.
Il hope all will succeed. and / will now
extend my hearty thanks to you all for
listening so patiently to my stuff the
speaker concluded.
The mayor then introduced Mr.. Quig-
lev OF Salt Lake as the next speaker

going to go the limit.
