incorporation of both companies would be
filed as soon as they could be got ready.
He mentioned two other schemes now on
foot, one an iron blast furnace which is
about in condition to be brought before
the public and an Electrolytic Reduction
company already organized and which
will soon be ready to get down to actual
business. This latter would have a capa-
city OF leo tons a day.
j. X. Jeffrey asked at this stage that
Mr.. Slack. first vice president of the
Board OF Trade, be allowed to take the
chair. He then said that too often in

therefore offered a resolution warmly
thanking the executive committee of tie
citizens. consisting of Mayor Bresnahen,
chairman, j. G. Baird. T. A. Kent,
Chas. w. Riner and Russell l.. Tracy,
for their earnest aud successful efforts in
behalf of the smelter scheme and their
ardurous labors in securing a bonus for
the same.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted.
Mr.. Baird, in behalf of the committee
expressed his appreciation and said that
without the generous assistance of the
citizens their labors would have been in
vain.
There were loud calls for T. B, Hicks,
who finally came forward and said that
he was the proudest man in Cheyenne,
for he had appointed the executive COM

ductIon works and said that experts de-
clared there was no refractory ore at
Silver Crown. Compressed air drills
would soon be set at work there and dig
out 300 feet a month instead of 300 feet a
year as Is now being done. In regard to
iron. there was an illimitable supply close
to the railroad at Hartville. The Horse
creek iron mines were beng developed
and the working force at the Union Pa
cifc shops would be largely increased.
d. G. Bridges was called for but asked
to be excused.
There were calls for City Attorney
