Provo is pre-emnently mining CEN
ter. Jesse knight, C. e Loose, l..
Holbroois. Reed Sinoot, and many other
prominent mining men have their
homes here, and all of the knight COM
panies have their principal offices here.
This has caused the people generally
to take great interest in the mining
markets. Many have made fortunes
from the development of Tintc and
other mines, and some have not been
so fortunate There is also consider
able development work going on in the
mountains east of Provo, where ricii
float and good indications of minerals
in paying quantities have been found.
So far however, no paying mines have
been opened up: but work is being
steadily prosecuted on a number of
claims. and the prospects for opening up
q good deposit of orc a any time are
very encouraging.
