MEN WHO MEAN BUSINESS
George Arthur Rice Says Construction Will

Red Paint-Smelters Probable

Inc Ilntlc railway projectors were given
grand reception by the Provo chamber OF
commerce last night The band was at the
depot on the arrival of the mining men, as
were number of the pro minent men of
the city.
MIR. G. A. Rice, A E. Hyde and William
Mcintyre made up the party from the
camp, Mr. Goss and others having missed
the train.
The question of the new road to connect
Provo with Tintic being the subject to
come before the chamber, elected an un-
usual degree of interest and the business
men turned out almost en- masse to hear
from the chief men of the company, who
say that the new road will be built.
PARK CITY AND PROVO.
The first business before the chamber
was report from b. r. Eldredge and Don
Is. Coray, who had taken a trip TO Park
City and Heoer to feel the pulse of the peo-
pie OF those cities relative to railroad
connecting those burgs with Provo. The
citizens of both places are eager for a road
OF the character named TO run into their
borders, and have decided TO grant right
of way and depot grounds to any company
TEE TINTIC RAILWAY.
Mr. w. n. Dusenberry, one of the COM
mIltee TO investigate the Tintic connection
stated that the best report that he could
tender would be to call for the guests
from Tlntic.
Thereupon Mr.. Rice was announced and
took the floor. He stated that their com
pany had been formed with determine
ton TO have the road in the course of con-
struction within sixty days, and gave
the assurance that 1t was not road that
would be built upon paper, but laid down
on the earth, taking in the towns of Pay
son, Spanish Fork, Springville and make

however, full decisions have not been rem
dered, but Provo men are not letting the
grass grow under their feet, and will have
their little say in this matter, as there is a
little wealth along the Timpanoeas river as
well as across the lake among the rocks.
SMELLING WORKS.
The other matter brought to the notice of
the chamber was one that brought out
rounds OF applause and aroused ebulitions
of enthusiasm that bespoke the true feel
lngs OF the people of Provo in reference to
such subjects. 1t was the announcement
OF the speaker that the capitalists of Tintic
DaDnSnlng their smelling works From
the tone of Mr.. Rice it was taken as bust
ness and not bluff by the listeners. The
shelters north OF US are inadequate to the
business, and it is a useless expense to
make shipments of raw ores to Colorado
Tor refining, with the wonderful facilitie.
Tor operating like works within the limits of
Provo. The speaker expatiated on these sub
1ectS with transport of con hdence that gave
evidence OF good faith and determination.
Mr.. Hyde was called for, and made a
ringing speech upon the subject before the
chamber He stated that the mining men
had concluded that it was cheaper to build
q road TO good connecting point than paw
freight, and that the mines were suffering
from lack Of facilities for smelling and re-
inning ores, all of which subjects have been
amply considered and means taken for
remedying the difficulties. He was inter
fupted at intervals with vigorous applause
On motion Of Mr.. Prooert it was the
sense of the Provo chamber of commerce
to cooperate with the Tintic men in the
business of the railway, as well as the re-
lining plant, and hearty thanks were ex-
tended TO the gentlemen from that district
for their presence.
Adjourned until two weeks.
