DECLARE UTAH PROMISING.
Nevada Men Surprised at Resources
In Southern Counties.


Frank j. Busch and Ed Busch have
returned to Rhyolite from an extend
ed trip through southern Utah ac-
cordlng to the Rhyolite Herald, where
they inspected the oil fields OF the
Virgin river country In the interests
OF Colorado capitalists.
This was my first trip to southern
Utah" said Frank Busch, "and
wish to say that in point Of natural
resources It is the greatest undevelop-
ed country 1 have ever seen. We
were accompanied by a party from
Pueblo, Colo. and so impressed was
he with the possibilities OF the coun-
try that l look to see considerable
Colorado capital invested there with
In the next few months as a direct
result of his report. While / am not
at liberty to say what particular bust
ness took us to that section, | may
say that while there we made an in
spection of the Virgin river oil fields,
as the party with us was born and
raised I'm one OF the greatest eastern
oil fields, Lima, ..
There Is not much going on now
at Virgin City. for the same reason
that SO little Is being done I'm many
Nevada camps of merit-lack OF capt.
tai and development. That the oil Is
there has been proved beyond any
question OF doubt, and yet no drill
has ever tapped the deep sands
Take It from mo, that the next few
years will see an oil field there
But what impressed me most was
the coal, iron timber and agricul-
tural resources. That part Of south
ern Utah known as Dixie Is one OF
the finest fruit countries In the world
especially for semi-tropical fruits
Figs, grapes almonds. English and
black walnuts are plentiful. Early
peaches are ripe by June 10 About
$4,000 pounds OF grapes is the pro-
duct OF one acre OF the best land II
II the only place north of the Mason
and Dixon line where cotton Is grown,
and they are now starting to grow to-
bacco at st. George. The average rain
fall Is is inches, but there is much
water now going 20 waste that will
soon be used to reclaim the soil
Il expect to go out there again this
fall, and while we have no intention
OF quitting Nevada. yet we expect 20
have some interests in that section
which Will probably take one OF US
out there for some time to come"
