Excerpt from Address of the Hon. William Bross on the Resources of the Far West, and the Pacific Railway: Before the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York, at a Special Meeting, Thursday, January 25, 1866

The amount of gold now produced, as proved by the above, is amazing; and give the territory access to a rail way at the eastern base of the mountains, and the product would be immense. It is asserted, that larger amounts have been taken out of given localities there in a Shorter time than California or any other mining district ever yielded.

That silver and probably gold exist in paying quanti ties in the mountains about Salt Lake there cannot be a particle of doubt. It has always been the policy of brig ham young to keep his followers steadily devoted to agriculture and the manufacture of such articles as his people consume. But in spite of Mormon influence, the officers and soldiers of General conner's command, dur ing seasons of quiet, have explored in small parties, and have found lead, copper and silver in Rush and other valleys. Mr. Colfax and his party visited the former, and had ocular demonstration that these minerals are found there in large quantities. Besides the iron and coal, the precious metals of Utah would add largely to the traffic of the railway.
