Proposed Shelter On A Small Scale
For FL paso.
81 hear some talk of another smelter
for Ell Paso," said an old mining man
in the plaza yesterday, (which is to be
a small one to accommodate the small
mining man. 1t would be great thing
for Ell Paso and the mining interests
of the surrounding country, because
the big smelter does not care to handle
ore in less that car load lots, while
there are many mining men who are
not able financially to get out that
much ore before turning It into cash.
The small smelter would afford a place
for such men to take their ore in small
lots as they went. It would cause
greater development of the mining
near Ell Paso and bring the
bulk of the money raised in this man
ner TO the town. Not only to the smell |
ter and from the smelter to the labor
er, but the money spent by the small
mining IAN for supplies would come
to Ell Paso."
