Ohiqon THAT COMING BOOM. Should He Ihilrd With Delight by Pro grrulve People There seems to he a universally prevail ing sentiment that another huoin Is coin In K. Newspapers In every section of the couutiy herald Its appin.iih. Some, as If It Is to he regarded as a suit ol cyclone; others as II it may he dreaded as a pestil ential scourge, and others again as It It will prove a hoon and savior to all sec tions alike. So far as the Mining Review is concerned, we say, let the hoom come as quickly as it may I Some people living here who think they passed through a genuine hoom Imagine that all sorts ol injurious results followed the little activity this locality enjoyed in 1888 and i88y. It was in no sense of the word n hoom. It was hut the tall end of the Kansas City, Deliver and Los Angeles genuine hoom. How were those cities elfected by it? They grew from absolutely insignifi cant places to gre.it nourishing cities. Twenty-live years ago Salt Lake was in reality larger than any ol the cities named. How do they stand now? Ihe hoom gave to Denver nearly seventy miles of paved streets, a ttolly system of stieet car ser vice only surpassed by St. Louis; a per led system of drainage, two w.iter works system, an unlimited number ol titst class hotels, and the most complete illuminating plant to be found anywhere. Then too It brought to Colorado new spirits new energy new Ideas backed by capital, and the combination wrought the marvelous changes that only inepres slble, ambitious men can piodtice. The old timers had In a measure grown used to all the rare opportunities and vast re sources and they could not seethe illimi table possibilities like the new comets, who had been surrounded by cramped in virouments and restricted conditions; but when the new blood was injected the transformation followed. I his section is positively threatened with a monstrous boom the Review hails it with delight. House renting agencies declare they cannot supply the demand; real estate linns e.xpress much gratifica-' ti.ui In the activity and advancing prices 1 and, best of all, every linn in Salt Lake' City handling mining machinery Is busy j every hour In the day supplying the' wants ol customers all over this inter-1 mountain country. It surely appears as if a thorough, animated, enlivened boom I is heading our way, and the Review en-. entreats many of the fossilized, nntl-1 quated spirits not to put anything hi its ' way.

Man Who D'xovertd Gold In California. A Salt Lake dispatch of November 26, gives the following account of the death of the man who made the record of the tirst gold discovered in California in 1848: Henry W. Higler, the man who made the first record of the great California gold discovery in 1848, died at St. George, Utah, on Saturday of pneumonia. He was about 75 years of age. His record ol gold discovery reads "Monday, 24th. I his day some kind of metal was found in the tail race that looks like gold." This entry was made on January 24, 1848. Six days later, on January 30, Higler made the following entry. "Clear, and has been for the last week. Our metal has been tried and proves to be gold. It is thought to be rich. We have picked up more than a hundred dollars worth In the last week." Higler was a member of the Mormon batalllon and was working at Sutter's mill race when the discovery was made. He and three others were guests of honor at the California golden jubilee in 1898. The other three men are yet living, James S. Brown, of Salt Lake, Azarlah Smith, of Mantl, Utah, and WilliamS. Johnston of Ramah, New Mexico. When you travel the Bourne road re member Barnard has all the latest remedies or dust in tiie throat. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION.
