Foreigners Depart From This
City to Settle on Uintah
Reservation.
SECURE MANY HERE TO
JOIN THE NEW COLONY
{Tintah-Athens Name Of Town to
Be Incorporated as Center
of Activities.

A considerable exodus Of Greek citi
zens from Salt Lake and vicinity to
the Uintah reservation country will
soon take place, according to the plans
of the Uintah- Athens company. whose
articles Of incorporation were filed yes
terday with the secretary of state.
The company is seeking to enlist a
large number of Greeks who have be-
come naturalized citizens. or who have
declared intention to become such, to
form a colony of their country people
on the reservation Already there have
been thirtyfive families secured to
cultivate the agricultural lands in CON
troll OF the company, and it is tho in
tention to incorporate a townsite to
be named Uintah- Athens three miles
north of Fort Duchesne, which will be
the center of the farming district. The
tract which is now included in the EN-.
bryo settlement consists of 3490 acres,
320 acres of which is operated under
government lease.
Operate Mines Also.
A broad scope is undertaken by the
to operate mines in addition to pro-
noting agriculture One of the as
sets of the concern consists of fifteen
mining claims, described as the Cop
per Queen claims. numbered one to
fifteen, out of which a value of $3.50
rer ton in gold has been assayed, in ad-
dition to the copper, These claims are
in the Deep Creek mountains, Uintah
county.
AS soon as the business of securing
colonists is attended to- work on large
scale will be prosecuted in both min
ing and agricultural pursuits
Differed by Greeks.
The object is TO give employment to
idle Greeks and to give them an oppor-
tunity to make homes for themselves.
For that reason the concern is Differed
by men of that nationality, as may be
observed in the list of officers and di~
rectors named. as follows: Constantine
Contes, president; Louis Contes. vice
president; James Regas, treasurer; Nick
Jerefos, secretary; Peter Efthimiou,
director, with Steve SkliTis, George
Softer, Yasileos Kayeas and Vasileos
Yeanakaris as prominent stockholders.
Salt Lake is to be headquarters for
the company, and it is the expectation
that it will accomplish beneficial
work for the Greek people hereabouts.
