In conformity with an act of congress aproved September 9, 1850, the Territory of Utah was organized. The Territory embraced within its area was bounded on the north by the Terri- tory of Oregon, on the east by the summit of the Rocky moun- tains, on the south by the thirty-seventh parallel of north lati- tude, and on the west by California. But one of the original boundaries remain, that on the south. The boundaries of Utah are now as follows: Beginning at a point formed by the intersection of the thirty-second degree of longi- tude west from Washington with the thirty-seventh degree of north lititude; thence due west along said thirty-seventh degree of north latitude to the intersection of the same with the thirty- seventh degree of longitude west from Washington; thence due north along said thirty-seventh degree of west longitude to the intersection of the same with the forty-second degree of north latitude; thence due east along said forty-second degree of north latitude to the intersection of the same with the thirty-fourth de- gree of longitude west from AVashington ; thence due south along said thirty-fourth degree of west longitude to the intersection of the same with the forty-first degree of north latitude; thence due east along said forty-first degree of north latitude to the intersec- tion of the same with the thirty-second degree of longitude west from Washington; thence due south along said thirty-second degree of west longitude to the place of beginninq,-; an area of 82,190 square miles. (Bulletin Federal Census, i8i)0.) Topographically Utah is celebrated for its great mountain ranges and fertile valleys. The chains of nicnintains all extend north and south except the Uintah range, which lies east a]?d west, and out of them all rise immense peaks to a height of 12,000 aud 13,000 feet. The Great Salt Lake is another nv)st notable feature. Its waters are impregnated with salt to a degree which renders it many times more dense than sea water. Prior to the advent of the pioneers, July 24, 1847, Utah had no population beyond a few traders, traope-s, etc., except the In- dians. It was on the date mentioned that the Mormon emigrants filed through "Emigration'' canyon, in the Wasatch mountains, planted the American flag; on Ensign peak, to the north of Salt Lake City, and founded the first permanent settlement. Tliey THE STATE OF UTAH. were but a band of pioneers, comprising 130 persons, eighty men and fifty women. They left the Missouri river April 16, '^847, and made the journey across the plains under the leadership of Brigham Young. The great leadership of the man who so long led the Mormon people was never better demonstrated than when his foresight prompted him to halt his column ai'd take occu- pancy of Salt Lake valley, here to make the abiding place of his people. The little colony prospered and many more emi- grants followed from year to year. In 1850 the population of Utah had grown to 11,380 souls. In i860 it was 40,137; in 1870, 86,786: in 1880, 143,963; in 1890, 207,905. In 1895 ^ territcrial census gave the population as 247,324. Agriculturally, nature has been kind indeed to this favored region, and the greatest irrigation system in the world enhances the productiveness of a soil by nature marvelously rich, to tlie extent that enormous crops of grain, fruit and vegetables are raised which dwarf almost to puniness those 01* eastern states. All of Utah's mountains carry depo;»its of every description of min- eral. Beneath these jagged peaks are untold treasures of gold, silver and lead, while more coal, copper and iron are buried un- der the foot hills than there is in both Pennsylvania and Michi- gan. Immense canyons open through the mountains, gateways for the highways of comrrerce, with which the prospects are tTat Utah will be abundantly supplied in the near future. On the mountain slopes and plains graze, sleek and fat, countless flocks of sheep and herds of cattle and horses, the live stock in- dustry being hardly second to either those of mining or agri- culture. This astounding variety of resources and great wealth of the state has challenged the attention and consideration of ihe great- est capitalists of both the American and Eurojiean continents, and many of them are among the heaviest investors in this region. In the development of these many and ^-aried resources there is room for a vast populatioii to find profitable employment. The economic advantages of the exchange' of pro'luds is understood by all and not the least advantage of the region in this resj^ect is the surety that a great home market will be here established. AT FIRST. The beginnings in Utah were made by the ivIorni'Mis. The first white child was born of parents who came with the first band /f THE STATE OF UTAH. of pioneers. It opened iti» eyes August 8, 1847, just two weeks and two days after the arrival on the present site of Salt Lake. The child v/as a girl, the daughter of John and Catherine Cainp- bell Steele, and was named Young Elizabeth Steele, after Brigham Young and Queen Elizabeth. She is still living and is Mrs. James Stapley, of Kanarria. A permanent emigration fund was early established by the Saints, and on October 29. 1855, the First Presidency of the ]\Ior- mon church issued the "Thirteenth Epistle," directing that the Saints who emigrated ar the expense of that fund should journey in- hand carts. The first company of emigrants to cross the plains by hand carts arriv';d at Salt Lake September 26, 1856. The party was in charge c.i Captain Edmund Ellsworth and ^). D. Mc Arthur, and was composed of two companies, comprising m all 497 sculs with 100 h?.nd carts, 5 wagons, 24 oxen, 4 mules and 25 tents. The pitrty led by Ellsworth left Iowa June Q, 1856, ind ihat under McArthur the nth. The> were met on their arrival :it Salt Lake by President Brigham Young with a brass band and a large gathering- r.f people and were given a hearty welcome. Israel Evans' company, consisting of 154 people and 31 hand carts, was the next to arrive, followed by that of Edward Bunker. Two more companies, 600 strong in men, women and children, started west in 1856. They were in charge of James G. Willis and Captain Edward Martin. They started late in the year and were oveitaken by a severe snow storm, which retarded their progress to such an extent that great sufifering was experienced by many of the party, and some of the members were obliged to sell their personal effects to obtain provisions. A relief party was «ent out frum Salt Lake with provisions and clothing, and on the 30th of November the vanguard of the expedition reached Salt lake. Other hand cart companies followed, some arriving as late as the middle of December of that year, and in 1859 and "60 a number of these companies made their way across the plains to the "Promised Land." UTAH ADMITTED. Utah was admitted January 4th, 1896, when President Cleve- land approved the bill admitting the Territory into the Union of States. The event was welcomed by the people of Utah with great rejoicing, and on January 6th Governor Heber M. Wells THE STATE OF UTAH. was inaugurated. The inaugural ceremonies were held in the great Mormon taoemacle and were witnessed by fully 15,000 peo- ple, whose solemn reverence evidenced the appreciation of the whole people of Utah, of all that the occasion betokened. That inauguration was more to them than the mere swearing in of new officers. It was the inauguration of a new era in Utah, the insolu- ble uniting of a divided people, and the cessation forever of all strife between the Mormon and Gentile elements. A striking co- incidence, but one which attested the sincerity of that unity, was the fact that Chief Justice Zane, who had in years gone by sen- tenced so many of the Mormon people to the penitentiary for practicing polygamy, administered the oath of ofhce to Governor Wello (an adherent of the Mormon faith), as chief executive of the state. The oath of office was administered to all the new State officers and the event ful day was brought to a brilliant close with a grand inaugural ball at the Salt Lake theatre in the evening. THE CAPITAL. The capital of Utah is Salt Lake City, a beautiful city of 50,000 inhabitants, remarkable for its magnificent broad streets shaded on either side 1)y tall, stately trees and along v/hich are running water courses brought thither from the surrounding mountains. Utah has no capitol building as yet, the State offices being located in the City and County building, one of the most imposing and magnificent public structures in existence. Salt Lake is the headquarters of the Mormon church, and the great Mormon temple, which cost over $2,500,000 to erect, and the great tabernacle, are located in its midst. AH the princi- pal streets are named beginning from the temple square and are designated: North Temple, First North, Second North, etc., and east, south and west to correspond. The tabernacle is famous as having the largest seating ca- pacity of any building in the world which has an unsupported roof. The building seats 12,000 people comfortably, and so ex- cellent are the acoustic properties that a pin dropped .it the altar can be heard in the remotest corner. The city is the chief distributing point for the state. It has numerous "warm" and "hot" springs which make it an admirable health resort, and in summer the Great Salt Lake furnishes the finest bathing in the world. The Constitutional Convention. The constitutional convention of the State of Utah, composed of 107 members, assembled at Salt Lake City March 4th, 1895, in accordance with the enabling act of Congress, approved July 16th, 1894. John Henry Smith was elected president and Parley P. Christensen secretary. The convention was in session until the 8th. day of May, and adopted a constitution which was approved by the people at an election held on the 5th day of November of the same year.

Priocr to his elevation to the head of the state government, Mr. Wells served as recorder of Salt Lake City from 1882 to 1890; for two terms was a memtber of tho board of public works ; was secretary of the constitutional convention ini 1887, and was a member of the convention which framed the constitution under whiich Utah was admitted. Governor Wells was elected in the fall of 1895 on th.e following declaration of principles : "By observation and experience he has been taugbt that the perpetuation of American principles and ideas lies in our free public school system, and as such he is its warm supporter and advocate*. He is a staunch friend of law and order, arid while recognizing the cause of or- ganized labor he is opposed to all unlaw- ful methods and violence in seeking to redress real or imaginary wrongs. He is a firm believer in the greatest individual liberty on all matters pertaining to relig- ion and politics; he believes in the doc- trine of protection^ to^ American indus- tries; is an ardent supporter of the cause of silver, and desires to see the resources of Utah developed to their highest possi- bilities, and above all his loyalty and patriotism to the principles of our fore- fathers, who founded this government, can never be questioned." During his tenure of office thus far Grov- emor Wells has not violated in any re- spect any of those principles, and ham proven a most conservative, conscientious and able official. During the session of the flrst legislature, upon which devolved the responsibility of framing laws to meet the changed condirt:ions from a territorial to a state form of government, his sug- gestions proved invaluable to the mem- bers, and to his great foresight is due in large degree the excellence of the laws which were enacted. As an evidence of the esteem in which his judgment was held by the members, may be cited the fact that nearly every suggestion which he made to the legislature in his mes- sage was followed and acted upon accord- ing to his views. Under the constitution Governor Wells' term of office is five years, but those of his successors will be four years. SENATOR WARRUM. Noble Warrum, Jr., was born in 1866, near Greenfield, Indiana He attended district school and the graded schools of New Palestine, from which he graduated at the age of twelve; passed a successful examination and secured next to the highest grade of teacher's license issued in the. state at the age of thirteen; at- tended Greenfield High school, and after- wards De Pauw university two years; read law two years and attended the law school of Michigan' university one- year. Judge Warrumi has been in Utah five years, during which time he practiced law two years, edited the Logan Journal two years, and served as judge of the probate court of Cache county one year, which position he held at the time Utah was admitted into the Union. He was one of the fiirst in the. division movement and took an active part in the organization of the Democratic party in northern Utah; was a charter member of the famous Cache coynty "Sage Brush" Democratic club, and of the first Democratic territorial committee of Utah. He was chosen a member of the consti- tutional convention of 1895, which laid the foundation of statehood; in the fall of that year he was a prominent candidate for the office of district judge of the First judicial district, but was defeated in the nomination by three votes, his op- ponent being Hon. Charles H. Hart. Mr. Warrumi was nominated by accla- mation for the position of State senator, and, although his opponent was one of the presidency of the Cache stake of Zion, Mr. Warrum ran ahead of his ticket. Mr. Warrum was married in February, 1890, to Miss Julia Hagen, youngest daughter of Hon. Andrew Hagen of In- dianapolis. As a result of the' union, one child, a boy a year and a half old, glad- dens the home of the Warrum® in Logan. Mr. Warrum resumed the practice of law at the close of the session of the legis- lature. f^\ JOHN H. SHAFER. M. LARSEN. ^ !§ E. B. CRITCHLOW. J. E. ROBINSON. THE STATE OF UTAH. REPRESENTATIVE GIBSON. William Gibson, the representative from Uintah county, was born in Scotland, of Scotch-Irish parentage, the 25th of April, 1845. He came to America, in 1852; lived tirst in New Orleans for a time, moving from there tO' S.t. Louis, wherei he resided for Ave years. While employed there in, a steam bakery he packed 700 barrels of pilot bread for General Johnstton,'st army when prepara- tions were being made for the famous Utah expedition. From St. Louis young Gibson went to Florence; from there to Council Bluffs, and in 1860 came to Utah, where he has since remained. His life here has been such that his name is a, household woird throughout those sections in which he has lived. Mr. Giibsion was easily the character of the whole membership of the first State legislature, a statement which may be better understood from the fact that he rarely, if ever, secured the floor during the session, that he did not say some- thing which the newspapers considered worth printing. A rugged honesty and de- termined stand for the right were his ruling characterstics, and a ready resource to native wit made his short, pointed speeches a feature of all debates. Mr. Gibson's character is moulded on the plan of one who has spent nearly the whole of a life-time on the frontier, whose life, from being an aggressive and a leaa- ing spirit, has become an eventful one in those incidents of the Kit Carson type, which are now but a tradition. Strong and fearless, possessed of extraordinary physical endurance, a natural leader in adventures besides being the bitterest of foes tO' all law breakers, he has, as a re- sult of his border experiences and Black Hawk war service, a mind stored with reminiscences which, if expediency per- mitted, would make this sketch a bio- graphy as interestng as any border novel or drama ever written. A brief account of his Black Hawk war experience must, therefore, suffice. When the war broke oiit Mr. Gibson became a captain in the Utah militia. He had as his lieutenant, his brother-in-law, John C. Lambert, and they were given charge of the work of recovering horses stolen by the In- dians. "We got the horses every time," says he, w^hen reciting the story, "but sometimes we paid dearly for success." He tells of one campaign fraught with many exciting adventures and from which he returned with his clothes, such as he had left, tied on with strings. While on this trip, he tells of having killed a rabbit and drunk its blood to keep from dying of thirst. He also tells of the narrow escape from a fate not unlike that of Absalom the unruly. They came in the course of their wanderings on nine "wickiups" of In- dians. They proposed to help themselves to the horses, but concluded the cover ot night would afford a protection the day time could not give. Night came and it was dark enough to have hidden a com- pany of spooks. Their advance through trees and underbrush was a slow one. They were on horseback but dared to move only as a streak of lightning enabled them to measure the distance ahead from one ob- stacle to another. One of these calcular tions proved not quite correct, for Mr. Gibson suddenly found himself hanging his horse from under him, to the branch of a tree which had gone down his back and held him by the clothing in vice-like grip. He says if his brother-in-law, Lam- bert, had not rescued him his skeleton would probably be hanging there still. Their guide on this occasion was a son of the Ute chief Arapine, "Yank" by name. At the episode of the blood-drink- ing he conferred on Mr. Gibson a new nam-e by which he is known among the surviving Indians until this day, "Anchi- bob," or blood-drinker. The subject of the sketch is fond of weaving in a moral with one of his tales of adventures as against the making of oaths or the ad- vice that if one is led into so unwise an impulse that it is better to repent be- fore it is too late, and in this connection is the character of the man best illus- trated. The Indians had killed one of his horses, one of a team, and as he came to it lying in the trail he swore that if he found an Indian on the back of the other one he would kill him. He soon had an op- portunity to fulfil his word. The horse and Indian appeared ere long on the trail. He gave him chase, reaching the edge of a stream as the Indian gained the middle. He leveled his revolver on him and the Indian turned and looked down the barrel. These are his own words: "Right then I changed my mind. I did not want to kill a human being, so I dropped the point of the pistol, and the Indian dropped into the- water. I got the horse, saddle and buffalo robe and the good will of all the Utes, for the Indian remembered me and told his story. At the time of the Meeker massacre they could have killed every settler in Uintah county, but instead they shook hands with us as they went to the fight. History tells the result." THE STATE OF UTAH. 67 SENATOR WARNER. M. M. Warner was born at Leon, Iowa, June 12, 1856, and was educated in the high school of his native town. After graduating, with his parents, he removed to Colorado in the year 1873 and studied law in the office of his father, J. W. War- ner, where he was employed as clerk. In 1882 he began a course of study at the Colorado Law University and upon com- pletion was admitted to practice in 1885 in Frederick, Brown county, Dakota. He practiced law there until 1888 when he changed his residence to Aspen, Colorado., where he formed a partnership with Hon. Greorge D. Johnstone. He served as as- sistant prosecuting attorney until the fall of 1891, when he came to Utah, locat- ing at Provo. He has made this his home ever since. Mr. Warner married Eleanor C. Nuttall, daughter of John Nuttall, November 8, 1892. He is one of the leaders of the profes- sion in this state and is a man with a large practice, both criminal and civil. He was elected as a Democrat, from the Seventh senatorial district. SENATOR SUTHERLAND. Oeoirge Suitherland is 33 years of age; has resided in Utah since two years old. Ha was born in Buckinghamshire, Eng- land. He studied law at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and was admit- ted to practice in the supreme court of Michigan in 1883, and in the supreme court of Utah in 1884. Married in 1883. Occupation, lawyer; now a member of the firm of Williams, Van Cott and Suther- land. Was president of the board oif di- rectors of the territorial insane asylum four years— 1890-1894. Was candidate for mayor of Provo on the Liiberal ticket in 1890; was placed in nomination for dele- gate tO' congress before the Republican State convention in 1892; received, on last ballot, 205 votes; F. J. Cannon, 211, and the latter was nominated. Mr. Sutherland was elected to the senate from, the Fifth senatorial district, and was one of the hardest workers and most valued mem- bers of that body. CONGRESSMAN ALLEN. C. E. Allen of Salt I^ake City was born in Girard, Erie county. Pa., September 8 1852; was trained in the common schools of Girard; fitted for college at Grand River institute, Austinburg, Ohio, and graduated from Western Reserve college with the class of 1877; taught one year at Grand River institute, and then was principal of the preparatory of Western Reserve college three years; came to Salt Lake City, Utah, in August, 1881, wiiere he was an instructor in Salt Lake acad- emy until 1886, when he resigned and en- tered upon the business of mining; was elected to and served in the. territorial legislatures of 1888, 1890 and 1894; was elected county clerk of Salt Lake county in August, 1890, and served ui^til January 1, 1893; was admitted to the bar in Salt Lake City in 1892; was the Liberal candi- date for delegate to congress in 1892; was elected to the Fifty-fourth congress as a Republiioan af the special election held November 5, 1895, to vote upon the con- stitution of the proposed State of Utah and for the selection of the officers there- of; took his seat in the house of represen- tatives January 7, 1896. REPRESENTATIVE NEBEKER, OP RICH. Aquila Nebeker, Democratic represen- tative from Rich county, is the son of John and Lurena Nebeker, pioneers of 1847. He was born June 17, 1859. in Salt Lake City. When a boy he attended the ward schools until 1872, when he entered the University of Utah, taking a course in general science and mathematics. After graduating in 1876, he went to southern Utah and began business life as a freighter and all round worker in the mining camp of Silver Reef. In the sumimer of 1877 he engaged with Hunter and Goss as assayer and accountant at their amalgamating mill on the Rio Virgin river. He worked in the same capacity for the Stormont Mining and Milling company and also for Colonel E. A. Wall until 1880, when he with some Salt Lakers formed a company for min- ing and smelting copper ore in northern Arizona. After developing the Red Cloud mine the company, for which Mr. Ne- beker was superintendent, was silenced by the slump of 1883 in the price of cop- per. He married Hortense Haight, a daugh- ter of I. C. Haight, of Toquerville, in 1§79, and with his family moved to Rich coun- ty in 1884, took up a ranch and has since been engaged in ranching, combined with cattle raising. When the division came Mr. Nebeker allied himself with the Democratic party. He has served Rich county as surveyor and attorney, and has also been in the legislature four sessions. He was a mem- ber of the constitutional convention, and was so dissatisfied with the general trend of the actions of that body that he voted against nearly every article adopted in the constitution. He also distinguished Himself by leading a movement to unite all the higher educational institutions under one head, making no point as to S. W. MORRISON. J. M. BOLITHO. r N. J. HARRIS.

Mr. Nebeker is a free coinage man, and, to put it in his own language, "don't believe, in the cheap dollar of John Sher- man under any circumstances," but stands for "cheap money and dear pro- duots." REPRESENTATIVE CRITCHLOW. E. B. Critchlow was born in Red Bone, Miss,, October 2, 1858. He resided with his p-arents at Washington college, near Nachez, where his father was professor, until an opportunity was afforded by the fall of Vicksburg to remove to western New York. He attended public schools at Tonawanda, Erie county, in that state, until 1873, when he came to Utah to join his father, who for many years held the position of agent of the Indians at Uin- tah valley. He was prepared for college at the Salt Lake Collegiate institute, and entered Princeton in 1878, graduating in 1882. He took a course in Columbia law school, and returned to Salt Lake City and was admitted to the bar in 1883. He read law in the office of Sheeks & Raw- lins for a year. He was married in 1886. Is a member of the partnership of Rawlins & Critchlow, formed in 1891. Mr. Critchlow was as- sistant United States attorney of the ter- ritory during 1890 and 1891. He was elect- ed to the house of representatives a^ one of the Salt Lake delegation, when from the outset he was the leader of the Re- publican side, and though strenuously op- posed at times (as often by members of his own party as by those of the op- posite political faith), his ideas prevailed and were incorporated in the bills passed more often than those of any other indi- vidual miember. As chairman of the judi- ciary committee, he gave evidence of great legal attainments, and in debate exerted a world of influence over his col- leagues. In the laws passed by the. first State legislature the people of Utah owe much to the ability, energy and honesty of Mr. Critchlow. REPRESENTATIVE LEWIS. T. D. Lewis was born at Salt Lake City September 15, 1865. After attending the public schools of the city, he entered the University of Utah, and in 1886 graduated with the degree of bachelor of science, being one of the first to receive a degree from that institution. During the winter of 1886-7 Mr. Lewis taught school, and in the fall of 1887 became deputy county re- corder of Salt Lake county. "In October, 1888, he entered the department of the University of Michigan, and spent the school year in special work in political science, history and language. The next year he entered the department of law, and took the degree of bachelor of law in 1891. Since that time he has practiced law in' Salt Lake City, He has always taken an active part in politics, and was on the Republican committee for Salt Lake City from 1891 till the fall of 1895, when he was elected to the. house of rep- resentatives of the first State legislature. He was chairman of the committee on elections, in which capacity he rendered marked service in perfecting the election laws passed, and he was equally as valu- able as a member of the judiciary com- mittee and on the fioor. REPRESENTATIVE GIBBS. William H. Gibbs of Portage, Box El- der county, second son of John D. and Julia A. Tompkins Gibbs, was born Feb- ruary 7, 1851, at Haverford, West Pem- brokeshire. South Wales. He attended school till 12 years old, when he left there with his parents, May 30, 1863, in the sail- ing- vessel Cynosure. Arriving in New York in July and crossing the plains by ox team, the family arrived in Salt Lake October 6, of the same. year. The family settled in Willard City, where young Gibbs again attended school, going in win- ter and working out in summer. In 1869 the family moved to Portage, where Mr. Gibbs helped to build the second house. He also drove the team whicn plowed the first furrow for the Samaria Lake Irri- gating company's ditch. He was a oi- rector in that company four years; was chosen, in 1877, second councilor to Bishop O. C. Harkins; held the position of con- stable two years; justice of the peace six years, and school trustee ten years. In 1884 he went on a mission to the southern states, returning in 1887. When the divi- sion came, Mr. Gibbs joined the Republi- can party. He was nominated for county selectman in 1892, and defeated; again in 1894 for the constitutional convention, was elected, and did good service in that body; was elected to represent Box Elder in the first State legislature. He was m^arried in 1872 to Letitia John, and thirteen children were born to them, ten of whom are liv- ing. Mr. Gibbs is a successful farmer and &tock raiser. UNITED STATES SENATOR BROWN. United States Senator Arthur Brown was born in the spring of 1843, on a farm near Schoolcraft, Kalamazoo county, Michigan. When he was 13 years old, his father and mother, being anxious to educate their daughters, had heard of Antiochi college, then opened by Horace Mann at Yellow Springs, Ohio, which was the first regular college that admitted girls to Its curriculum on tne Siine terms as 70 THE STATE OF UTAH. boys, and to the higher degrees and cul- ture. Mr. Brown's parents moved there in 1856, and as a little boy he was allowed to go to school to that institution, where he graduated in 1862. From there he went to Ann Arbor, Michigan, taking a higher academical course and studied law, re- ceiving the second degree, A. M., and was admitted to the bar in the spring of 1864. Mr. Brown went bax3k to his na-tive county, Kalamazoo, and at that place commenced practicing law, where he re- mained until 1879, during which time he had built up a very large practice through- out western Michigan. Years of contin- ued ill-health, however, convinced Mr. Brown that it would be better for him to move to a mountainous country. He ac- cordingly moved to Salt Lake City in 1879 and at once entered the practice of law in such a manner that he is now well known and his capacities need no com- ment to anybody in Utah. From his first advent to Utah Mr. Brown always be- lieved in organizing the Republican party as independent from the Liberal party. He took an active part in all its work long before the division movement, and was among the very few who first engag- ed in organizing what is known as the dlvisiion movemient. In procuring recog- niitik>ni of the Territorial committee as orgianized by that movement, Mr. Brown was especially active and prominent, as in other work tending to build up Repub- licanisim. Mr. Brown was elected to the Unted States senate January 21st, 1896, by the Republican members of the first State legislature. SECRETARY JAMES T. HAMMOND. Secretary of State James T. Hammond, son of Hon. Milton D. and Louisa M. Hammond, was bom December 11, 1856, at Farmington, Davis county, Utah. When he was 8 years of age his parents removed to Cache county, where he has resided ever since. He is a product of the public school system of the Territory. Upon leaving school in the spring of 1875 he took up the study of law during his leisure moments while employed as sales- man and bookkeeper in a mercantile es- tablishment. In 1877 he was appointed clerk of the probate and county courts of Cache county, a position he filled with credit until 1883, when he was elected to the legislative council of the Territory of Utah, and was a member of the judiciary committee of that session. In 1884 he married an estimable lady in the person of Leonora Blair. In 1888 Mr. Hammond was employed by the legislative assembly as one of a special committee of three to compile the laws of Utah then in force. Mr. Hammond was returned to the legis- lature in 1886 and also in 1890, and was a member of the judiciary committee in both sessions. During the latter session he distinguished himself by his brilliant leadership of the People's party side in the house. It was also during this session that Mr Hammond led the movement in favor of free schools. Wlaile Mr. Ham- mond is a lawyer by profession he has always manifested the greatest interest in agricultural matters. He was one of the organizers and a member of the first board of trustees of the Agricultural Col- lege of Utah. He was a member and vice- president of the Constitutional convention of 1887 and has filled other offices of trust and honor. Mr. Hammond has been a practicing at- torney since 1880 and was employed as counsel in a number of important cases in the Territory. He is young in years but old in experience, a man who has al- ways done his duty in a conscientious manner, is a Republican and a man who fills the office of siecretary of state with credit and honor. STATE TREASURER CHIPMAN. State Treasurer James Chipman was born in Carroll county, Missouri, in 1839. He was a member of the band of pioneers who braved the wilds of the western fton- tier and arrived in Salt Lake City in 1847. One year later he removed to Mill Creek where he remained two years. His first business was hat of farming and stock- raising and keeping a trading post on the Eighth Ward Square in Salt Lake City. In 1861 he freighted with oxen and mules between Montana and California. In 1872 he delivered 5,000 cords of wood to the Millar company and a part of the wood still remains at the old smelter, where it was placed by the hands of Mr. Chipman nearly a quarter of a century ago.

He was an earnest, aggressive legislator, but never carried the latter characteristic be- yond the point of being willing to agree to a compromise when he could not se- cure his full purpose.

The largest Republican majority given in the fall of 1895 by Sevier county's elec- tors to any candidate on any ticket was 129, the figure which elected James M, Bolitho to the lower house.

Sevier's representa- tive is young in the world, too, for he was born on August 31, 1859, at Galena, Jo Davies county, Illinois. From his tenth year until he reached his majority, young Bolitho worked on his father's farm in the State of Iowa. He was married at Hampton, in the same State, on the first day of September, 1880, and at once removed to Boone, then a thriving railroad town. In railroad circles the stripling at once became prominent. Starting at the bottom, he rapidly became a trusted locomotive engineer, and was the youngest member of the Brotherhood's Grand Lodge. He made repeated trips to the State capital as legislative committee- man for his fraternity, and his name is connected with several laws which now appear among the statutes of that State —all of them made in behalf of laboring men. In business Mr. Bolitho has made a success. For the first six months, after coming lo Utah, he was connected with the Rio Grande Western as locomotive engin- eer, and then established a hardware house in Richfield. In addition to this, Mr. Bolitho owns several good mining properties in the Baldy district, is inter- ested in the hot springs at Joseph City, Sevier county, and is the landlord of a handsome tract near Marysvale.

Bolitho has always had a hand, having served on the city council of Boone when but 24 years of age, and having been appointed councilman for Richfield in 1890. In politics Sevier's representative is a strong Republican and a shrewd and hard worker. From the time he was 22 years of age he has never been off the county central committee of his county, and dur- ing the last campaign was chairman of the Republican central committee of Se- vier county and the county's State com- mitteeman. As a legislator Mr. Bolitho added fresh laurels to his wreath. He was the author of the famous anti-combine bill which created such consternation among the trusts and corporations, the bill to prevent the sale of stock under fraudulent pedi- grees, the massive county government bill, the bill to prevent blacklisting of dis- charged employees, the land bill and num- erous others, all of which successfully "run the gauntlet" and are now laws on Utah's statute books.

Fox, locating the present Union Pacific line from Nephi, Juab county, to Deseret, Millard county. Mr. Cannon left the University permanently in 1881. and was eng-aged for two years thereafter in teach- ing school. Many of his vacations had been spent in working in the county re- corder's office, and in 1883 he was perma- nently employed in that office. In 1884 Mr. Cannon was elected county recorder of Salt Lake county, an office which he held for two terms, being suc- ceeded by John H, Rumel jr., in August, 1890. He then engaged in the real estate busi- ness until January 1, 1892, at which time he accepted the position of cashier of Zion's Savings Bank and Trust com- pany, which position he still holds. On Christmas day, 1884, Mr. Cannon mar- ried Miss Addie Morris, and six children, two boys and four girls, have resulted from the union. Mr. Cannon's life from boyhood has been an extremely active one, his many duties requiring his attention both night and day. Almost his entire relaxation has been with his family, as he has there taken more enjoyment than he felt he could do in other social pleasures. Mr. Cannon has been an active party man since the division movement. Im- mediately after the meeting in the Salt Lake theatre, at which it was decided to actively organize the Republican party, Mr. Cannon was chosen by the Terri- torial committee to accompany John Henry Smith and John M. Zane in or- ganizing clubs in the country south of Salt Lake City. He subsequently became secretary of the Republican county com- mittee of Salt Lake county, acting in this canac'ty for two teams. In July, 1895, Mr. Cannon was elected chairman of the Territorial Republican committee as successor to Hon. Charles Crane, and was subsequently elected chairman of the Republican State central committee, after the convention was held nominating the present State officers. The campaign was conducted by Mr. Cannon in such a way as to call for the united support of his party, and when he ten- dered his resignation as such chairman on December 14th the State committee laid the resignation on the table, and unanimously requested him to remain in his office. Mr. Cannon was a prominent member of the Constitutional convention which framed the Constitution of the State, and was chairman of the committee on Rev- enue and Taxation. He received in the convention which nominated him for the Constitutional convention the highest number of votes cast for any candidate for the position named, and was similarly honored in the convention which named him as a State senator. When the first State legislature con- vened, Mr. Cannon was chosen president of the senate as the unanimous choice of his colleagues. 92 THE STATE OF UTAH. UNITED STATES SENATOR CANNON. Frank J. Cannon, the senior senator from Utah, was bom in Salt Lake City, Utah, January 25, 1859; was educated at the University of Utah; became a news- paper man by profession and established the Ogden Standard, which was the first daily paper in Utah to espouse Republi- canism; has' held numerous official posi- tions in Weber county, where he resides, and for two years prior to his election as delegate to congress was a regent of the university at which he received his edu- cation. He served one term as secretary of the territorial council; was a candidate for delegate to congress in 1892, and was defeated by Hon. J. L. Rawlins, whom he in turn defeated for the same office two vears later. He became a candidate for the United States senate before the firsit State legislature and was elected, receiving the full Republican vote of both branches on the first ballot. ADJUTANT GENERAL CANNON. John Q. Cannon was born in San Fran- cisco. CaL, April 19, 1857, and came to Utah as an inflant, his parents having been in California only temporarily on business, and except for three years' ab- sence in Europe, he has resided in the State his whole life. He is a graduate ot the University of Utah; a printer by trade, having served a regular appren- ticeship; was editor of the Ogden Stand- ard two years, and has been editor-in- chief of the Deseret News since October 1. 1892 He enlisted in Troop C, First cavalry, N. G. U., in May, 1894, and was unanimously elected -its captain. Ten months later he was elected major of cavalry, and on May 1 was appointed ad- jutant general with the rank of brigadier general; was reappointed by Governor Wells May 5, 1896. and confirmed by the State senate. He served one term in the territorial legislature; one term as city councilman for Salt Lake City, and one term as regent of the University of Utah. He Is the eldest son of Hon. George Q. Cannon, and married Annie, daughter of G^eneral Daniel H. Wells, who was for twenty years at the head of the territo- rial militia. UnAH AS A MIXING STATE. Beautiful Salt Lake, as she stands to- day the acknowledged queen of this great inteirmountain region^ owes much of her greaitnees, hier importance and her prom- inence to the magniifloent mining camps with which she is environed, without the of which the city would not be much more than a way station on the great trunk lines that join the great east with the greater we©t. It is not the purpose to describe here th.ese mining- camps in detail, to do which would more tJhan fill the pages of this puiblication ; but rather in a brief way to give passing- notice of a number of the leading dilstrlcts in the new stajte. Park City, beyond doubt, is the home of the greatest dividend -paying mine to be found in the west, and ©very Utah citi- zen points with pride to the Ontario, wMoh has paid over $13,500,000 in divi- dends, and is today In better condition frbjaji ev*»r. with mamm/^.h ore bodies in .sight. There are other dividend payers in Park City, among the number being t^be Dalv. with $2,850,000 to its credit; the Silver King, with $600,000: the Crescent and a score of others that have helped to swell the wealth of the world. The camp of Bingham, a few miles west of Salt Lake. Is doubtless one of the areatest gold, silver and lead districts to be found In this Intermountain region, and tOd!av it is making a splendid show- ing, with over 20O producing mimes to boast of. among the most prominent of thes*» being the Old Jordan and Galfena, the NIajB-ara, the DaltoTi & Lark, with Its five great mines: the Tosemite. the Phoenix, the Northern Lie"ht. the Benton, the Winnamurk and the Bntterflf'id. and the tonnage of ore from this camp alone would be considered great In any mining district in the west. Tinitic disitrict. in .Tnab county, is an- other ramn that stands out In gratifying promlnenre among the leading CP'mr)s of tiiiifj refrion. and 1+ is here, at Eureka, that aire locate suoh wp^ll-knowp mines ns the Buillnon-BpoV that h&R n Cen^^ennial-Enreka. that y>»fi> S1.7?;0.ono to its credit, and that nald ^720.(VV> in dlvidpnds dnrint' the oast year; fhf^ THii^eka Hi'l. with Jtl !iOO,000 paid In fJlividAnds: the Gemini -Kevstone. with Its $600,000; while at Mamr.oth. in the same dirc"r. Utah's great erold camn, tboue-h bnt still In Us infa.nov. has made a maemlflcent showiner. The Mercur mine THE STATE OF UTAH. has paid $500,000 to date, while there are now four other mines in the district that are dally adding- to the ilmiperifiihable wealth of the world, and it is confidently believed that before the end of another year a dozen more mines will be running, and that at least most of them will be paying- dividends. Besides these there are numerous camps in Utah that have been and are still fajnouB as dividend payers, among them being Stockton, Marysvale, Ophir, Silver Reef, Big Cottonwood, Alta, Silver City, Diamond! and many others, to say nothing- of the new districts of La Plata, Newton, Deep Creek, Skull Val- ley, Pelican Point and the Uine districts, all of which, with their rieh mineraliza- tion, promise to rival the older camps with development, Utah is one of nature's greatest min- eral depositories, and although her mines have made many fortunes and assisted very materially in the upbuilding- of Salt Lake and other cities and towns, the fact remains that the. mining districts have been but barely scratched, and that in the future the output of Utah's mines will be greater tnan ever before.
