SALT REFINERY
TO BE ERECTED
Fine Plant for Thomas Weir's
Salt Works.
FIFTY TONS PER DAY
PUMPING AT NEW WORKS
STARTED YESTERDAY.
FIFTY TONS PER DAY

The new salt factory to the west of the
city became a certainty yesterday when
Thomas. Weir, the wealthy mine owner,
gave J. W. Haywood. the manager Of
his salt property, authority to erect the
necessary buildings and purchase the
best machinery to be had for the REIN
ing of salt; and not day viii be lost
in getting the plant ready for business.
As to the cost of the plant, Mr. Hey
wood said last night that ne could du-
pllcate any plant in the state for less
than $4,000; but that for the new plant
the very best machinery and material
OF every kind would be purchased AMI
that not less than S25 coo would be ex-
pended. No limit, he said. was placed
by Mr.. Weir on the cost of the plant,
the order was to secure the best of
everything. Mr.. Haywood stated that
it would have a capacity for refining
125 tons Of salt every twenty-four
hours, but that perhaps fifty tons would
be about the daily capacity.
Another item of interest in connec-
ton with this enterprise is that the
pumping of water for the manufacture
of crude salt was started yesterday
with a pump that has a capacity Of
10000 gallons Of water per minute Mr..
Weir has 100 acres Of splendid land for
the manufacture Of salt, and it is the
intention to run in water into the tanks
on this land till the salt is from five to
six inches deep. This viii produce from
IS, goo to 10000 tons of crude salt. and
Mr.. Weir expects to have this amount
of crude salt this fall. It is expected
to be ready for either refinement or sale
in about seventy-five days.

certain indication that it will be pigeon

There are no women on board. Third

BUCKS FISH STORY.
Veteran Ball Player is the Champion
Angler.

Angler.
The question is, has 'Buck" Weaver
been having visions in dream, or has
somebody turned loose a North Sea
aquarium in Davis county. Buck
told John CriEchlow and John told a
conductor on the salt Lake & Ogden,
who told Frank Engler, and Frank
told it in his summer resort. that
Buck" caught d slack bass in the La
COON lake. with a hook and line
weighing ~ pounds.
The worst OF it is that Manager
CritCalow made an investigation and
found TIE story 10 be true. II hap
pened one day when Suck WASH
working Tne management placed a
boat an0 hook and line at his dis
posal end the ball tOsser pushed out
from shore. A couple Of hours later he
came in with the animal IN question
strapped 10 his back. It's eyes were as
big as dollars Bucks were larger
and when it closed in on the bait
Buck" said il tewed the boat three
times around the lake and nearly cap
sized the Maud Adams, which IS the
name of the launch 70 be seen NOV
ing about in the waves each afternoon
and evening.
That IS the biggest fish ever caught
in the lake with a nook and line, ex-
planned Manager Critchlow, but there
have been larger ones seined out.

no opportunity to go before the council
and discuss the Sunday liquor ques-
ton.
I'VE fully expected that petition
would be referred TO a committee and
that we would be called upon to pro-
duce evidence in support Of our ale
cations" said one member. we had
the evidence all right. We know that
liquor is being sold to minors and that
the saloons are open Sunday, a fact
which is not denied. Instead of hav-
ing an opportunity to present these
facts the petition is stuffed away in
the mayors hands. We know his
views on the subject and do not ex-
pect much OF a favorable nature from
him."
The Sunday School union meets the
third Monday of this month and the
committee viii then be authorized to
take some further steps in conjunction
with the NJ. I. A, which will probably
soon go before the council with a sim
liar protest, looking to the closing of
the saloons on Sunday.
