Travellers ana strangers wonder
at times why the big Western
smelters send their base bullion to
Omaha, Pittsburg and other East
crn localities to be refined instead
Of doing it at home. It is to save
what would be enormous express
charges across the plains for the
metal which could be shipped at
freight only at greater risks than
the owners care TO take. Freight
on base bullion is low, hence the
eastern refneries send shipments
TO the mints at small cost compar-
ed with express charges from the
West to the riyer.-[Salt Lake Tri-
