MIR. ELY's VIEWS.
New York Stock Exchange Official
On Utah Mines.


George w. Ely. secretary of the New
York stock exchange, is in the city on
a vacation tour of the west. Mr.. Ely
is much interested in the future of
Utah mines
Il do not understand" said he last
night. why it is that more investors do
not realize what a lot of good things
YOU have in the way of mines out here.
Take it on the New York stock eX-
change. for example. Most of the stock
dealt in there is either railroads or in
dust1ials. The railroads are all right
as a. general rule, but these industrial
stocks are half of them selling at double
or treble their value. They haven
anything behind them, as rule. Now,
your mines have intrinsic value that
should make the stock sell well, for
they are pretty sure to hold their level.
Many of the industrials are at any
moment liable to go down to nothing at
all. and their stockholders then lose
their all, in many cases
sI should be glad to see more mining
stocks dealt in on our exchange. OF
course. we have the old Ontario and
the Utah Consolidated and the Boston
Consolidated, but aside from those
there are very few Utah mines listed on
our board. You have many other good
mines, 1 know, and your country offers
unlimited openings for investment.

Should Have a smelter.
Ttah County Democracy

Provo has become one of the great
mining centers of Utah, and a large
portion of the dividend paying stocks
of the state is held by our citizens. This
fact, coupled with the other, that one
of our crying needs is a wage earning
population. ought to convince some of
our enterprising mining men that the
erection of a smelter in this portion of
the Utah valley would be a good thing.
We are in easy communication with the
great Tintic mining district. As soon
as the Rio GTande, Western canyon line
is completed into Park City this viii be
the natural outlet for that great camp;
we have also many smaller districts in
easy reach, which, under favorable

compahgre and Uintah Utes on the I'm
conpahgre reservation. There will be
five cars of the stuff. and it goes TO the
Chicago Paint & Varnish company.
About half of the lot has been received
here. and is loaded, while the other is
on the way, and is due to arrive at any
time. 1t is the intention of the com
pany to make weekly shipments of
about the same amount as this first
one, as they have already created
market for the product. The roads to
the mines are in good condition now,
and the properties are in such physical
condition as to make the extraction of
ores an easy matter. The company is
working about forty men, but will in
crease the force as they find larger
market for the material.
