Laramie is going to have a smelter.
That much has been decided upon by
the men who can if they will.
The matter was discussed at some
length at an informal meeting of bust
ness men at the city hall Thursday
night, when Hon. George w. Fox was
asked to correspond with certain man
ufacturers and ascertain, II possible,
the probable cost of such a plant as
Laramie would need. Mr.. Fox has
done this, and has in his pockets sew
eral letters which he will present at
the regular weekly meeting of bust
ness men at the city hall tonight.
The smelter proposition will be
brought to the front as a practical,
profitable proposition tonight, and the
matter placed in such shape, if the
citizens so desire, that we may at once
take it up and push it to a successful
issue.
