WANT A SHELTER.
The Benefits to Phoenix of a Busi- ness That Brings Money
 to Her.
An Appeal to the Business Men and Cap i;aIisis of the City That Should
 Be Promptly Heeded.

l interest to this entire community l namely: the location of smelter at thi
 point. The cooperation Of ths Phoeni
 press is solicited to forward the move nsnb if possible to successful issue.
 There is marked uueasiuees amcni
 many interested in mining who believ, l they understand the situation lnteili
 gently in the fear that B company witt
 ample funde to establish 6 smeiteP anc
 purchase large stocks of ores will short
 sly be located at some other point thar
 here where shipments may be obtained over two lines of railroad. Although
 according to U s. officisl reports AEi- zona contains within her area gold, sil
 yer, copper, lead, onyx, aluminuul, mice
 6Feclsy, ksolin. gypsum, heDatite iron | granite, limestone, etc, 1t is alleged | in certain qaerters that the importance | of mining is ignored and depEeciated here among ouE people who seem sstis l fled with the prospects of irrigation. l canal systems and the possession of She Territorial Capital. This community 1 will sustain logs far reaching end iFrs l trieveble if by inacbion oF absence of | intelligent discussion even now in this l opportuae hour when communities far and near are awakened n the interest | of mining, your people coutinue to treat l it's importance with spEthy and indif- ference If those expectations suggest
 ed to the public by interested pFomot- | CTS of bbs growth of Phoenix in yeare gone by are to be realized you will need 50 focus heedqu srteFe here for all of the great interests of the Territory, the
 least of which IS not mining.
 You will require facilities to reduce
 and smelb the virgin ores and you should
 provide ways end neaDs. IT is believed
 in intelligent quarters that she business
 of smelting can be proftebly conducted
 here. Where is is argued that Omaha
 and Kapsas City both removed
 several hundced miles from where
 bodies of ore are obtained hays large
 4sueltiug v-orks De cause those cities
 possess advantages in rail Say 0ompe5i-
 aion and have been able to solve Che
 problem of fuel, the question is asked
 hoy is it ths5 Tucson having a single
 lir., of railroad and possessing no ed- vantage oveE Phoenix in being able to provide fuel possesses 8 smelssF that contributes very much towards main ssining the population of Tucson. A movement seems to be on foot now to secure the location of emelser near WIckenburg It is considered possible 60 prom oss the enterprise ir that quart ar but it is believed by the friends of Phoenix among thu miners shat shs en
 terprise should be located here, th 4t the location of smelter ueRr WickenbGrR EiIl be serious blow in csFbsin sense to Phoenix.
 The motive Of shis lstter heretofore announced is to awaken among cisizsns thought and sympathy with move ment and cooperation ir finally secur- ing smsltiuG and reduction works here If Phoenix people are indifferent they should k0ow that the people of Prescott are fully alive to the importance of the subject and would make sacrifices to secure the enterprise In that com 
 If the press of Phoenix will unise in vigorous action She citizens can be awakened 50 reslize the importance of the mining interests as their door. A short tuna since the Los Angeles Times published in the in5eyess of mining special edition and in 8 recens mum Der states ''thefs is not the slightest doubt that much capital will be brought into the mining fields of Southern California through tbat issue" It is usually pos sible to awaken the paople on subject | of local patriotism. A few years ago your people were ahle to promote 6 transient fiesta, later by the ce-opers tion of feV public spirited men you secured the Adams hotel. Is it not l possible to movs the peopie to act to | promots mining aud other interests to l 5 limited extent? IT you s-s Dos zeal ous of the situation of Los Angeles you l will not acs in concert to secuFe wealth 1 to yourselves that will h3W thither. Of mining 1t Is said "bhe crop has been l made and it only awaits she labor of the l harvester shst it may become available | for the wants of msn. It is in DO wey upon the rain and sunshine l foc it's value Periods of drought and l fl pod may coma and go b25 they csn1os | in terfere directly with the stream of ] wealth which is eeesdidly foUing from | the great store houses filled by nature ! ages ago !
