Yours truly,
WILLIAM FRASER.

From still later report made by Mr.. Fraser
to the company Jan. r. 1901. he states that the
whole tunnel is now in high grade ore, that the
road has been blocked up with il, and. acting on
his advice, the company has contracted for a
water Jacket smeter, to reduce the ores coming
from this tunnel. which have been formerly
shipped to the Pueblo Smelter
This smeIter VIII be completed and In
operation by the latter part of next
April, and VIII yield profit of $4,000
A MONTH.
1t is. however. for the purpose OF installing
the larger plant of 500 tons daily capacity that
the present offering of stock Is made. There IS
no question regarding the quantities OF ore
available for reduction Mines are now in ae-
tual operation. Tunnels are already driven.
This together with the reputation OF Its officers
who are men of experience intelligence and
ability that comes OF long service in other great
corporations, MAKES THIS INVEST
MENp THOROUGHLY RELIABLE
AND CONSERVATIVE.

THE COMING
SCHOOL ELECTION
President Newman States the
Proposition Clearly Today
MEET EXPENSE ANYWAY.
sum Required Must be Spent Now
when II tau DO Good, or Next van
when "a Can DO Litile Good.

There is considerable talk anent the
coming special school election IN regard
to the raising Of funds for the mainten-
ance Of the schools until the end Of the
year. The sum required is $4,000 and
unless the people by their vote empower
the school board to borrow that amount
the schools of the city will be thrown
into state of decentralization from
which II will take years to recover
That is the grave manner in which
President Newman Of the board of edu-
cation reviews the matter II the $4,000
is not used this spring said he today
1T will have to be used next fan in Sc
curing quarters for the new pupils and
employing extra teachers. It will throw
the schools into such a congested con-
ditlon that the effects will be most
damaging. The question Is, do the peo-
pie want the money spent this spring
when It will DO the most good, or wait
until next fall when II cannot be Of
half the benefit, 1t will not cost any
more in the end, and I say the time TO
apply It is this spring when 1t can res
cue the schools from most baneful
calamity"
The people Of the Fourth precinct
seem to be In entire accord with the
object of the school board, This Is eYi.
denced through the following note that
has been distributed among the people
by James Maxwell, chairman, and JOS
eph " Smith. secretary Of the Fourth
precinct committee:
In voting on the school fund question
at the various polls on Tuesday, April
10th, It should be remembered that the
tax for the coming year Is already lev
led and will not be affected by the re-
suit Of the election on that date. II you
vote Eyes" the schools VIII be continued
until the end Of the year. IL you vote
NO" the schools will close, but the
tax will have to be paid just the same.
Remember the required amount can
be raised without additional assessment
or the payment Of interest
All who paid taxes in 1900 on either
real or personal property are entitled to
vote at this election.
The polling places VIII be as follows:
First Precinnt--Anney Ninth ward
meeting house
Second Precinct--S0i south West
Temple
