Blew From the East For Forty
Hours.

Blew From the East For Forty
Hours.
The people of Salt Lake were. pleased
yesterday, afternoon to bid goodbv to
the east wind that had made life Il
burden to them for forty consecutive
hours. It began blowing just after mid
night Friday morning, and continued
without abatement tin the middle of
the afternoon yesterday. Tt blew
straight from the east during all this
time, and such a wind blowing for
such a length Of time is unknown to
the oldest iuhabitant. although strong
east winds ace frequent earlier in the
spring. The highest velocity reached
was at an early hour Friday morning
when The wind Travelled for a time at
tle rate or thirty-fOur miles per hour
No serious damage is reported to have
been done by the wind in this com
mInity yesterday Trees and telephone
poles were blown down in the south
ern part OF the city. and in q. number
Of places in and around the city III is
reported that quantities - green fruit
Were blown from the trees. This was
not looked upon by fruit men as an un-
mixed evil as I'll IS held that the fruit
that remains on the trees viii be larger
and better as a result Of having some
OF &c blown off. The whole city was lit
tered last evening with small branches
blown from the shade trees.

There is great dismay among the
faithful over the failure of Governor
Wells to hand down the appointments
at his disposal Sundry gentlemen
who hope to occupy official positions,
had hoped that before now they would
be drawing pay from the state. The
longer Governor Wells keeps them on
the anxious seat the longer they win
be in doubt as to whether it is better
to hold on to what they have or jump
for something else.
II haven't made any appointments
because I really haven't made up my
mind. 4" said Governor Wells yesterday.
It was intimated to him that the real
reason might be that Senator Kearns
and Apostle SmOOt hadn't been able
to agree on appointments. The gov
eruor declared this to be without fOun-
datiOn- Mr.. SmoOt has spoken to me
about one case, but Senator Kearns
has absolutely declined to make any
recommendations whatever or to in
terfere in any way with state appoint
ments Governor Wells concluded.
It is beginning to look as if both A.
F. Doremus and r. c. -GemmeI would
be turned down for state engineer. Mr..
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1901-05-26
PlaCe-hunters Agitated by Delay
in Appointments.

Gem nell, who is the present incum-
bent. has been scrapping hard with
Mr.. IOoremus. The general impression
a few weeks ago was that DoremUs
would land, but now a new candidate
has bObbed~ up in the person Of Caleb
Tanner of Provo. 1t is within the
range of possibilities that Governor
Wells may name Tanner as "a compro-
mise.
For statistician, the fight seems to
have narrowed down between G. A. De
NToisey of Provo, NJ. NJ Steele of Bea-
yer and Fred Price of Salt Lake. OF
course, if Tanner Is appointed engineer.
De MOisey will fall by the wayside,
for the governor is far too astute a.
politician to choose two important Of
ficials from a city of the size Of Provo.
In such an event it is probable that
either Steele or Price would be named.
There is little opposition to the re-
appointment of John Sharp as fish and
game commissioner One or two other
tentative candidates were in the field
some months ago, but it is understood
they long since realized that the only
chance fer one of them to Tvin was for
Mr.. Sharp to die or refuse to hold the
position any longer.

Simon Guggenheim Talks on

simon Guggenheim, director and a
leading spirit in the American Smelt-

the city yesterday to look over the
Utah field ard 20 inspecc the new plant
now in course of erection at Murray.
AT the Alta club last evening Mr. Gug-
genheiu outlined the policy and plans
of the econ soIidation.' as-he prefers to
call it. FOR C-ah md the prld.
we want The mine Ouners to feel
that our interests are common, he
said. land We intend to show them
that we SO regard them. We look upon
Utan as an exceedingly promising min
ing field, as is shown by our erection
of the new 81 200 600 smelter here. We
intend TO follow out policy that VIII

ore in sight in Utah and elsewhere 1

and we hope to make it more so. We
EXPECT our new plant viii be completed
by fall and we VIII then be in shape

For the present we will not cree q
centralize our business in Utah in

VIII Raise Price on Silver.
1--WE hope to aid the mining Industry
in the United States in two important
ways; first, by raising the price Of
silver. and, second, by reducing the
smelling charges on low grade ores
Il do not know 20 what price we viii
be able to put silver; that remains TO
be seen We are confident, however.
that we can maintain a good price for
it. Our first step win be to take the
market out of she hands Of the london
brokers. They are not interested in
maintaining the price. and we are. We
propose to deal direct with the silver
using countries. To do this IL viii be
necessary for us TO establish banks IN
the Orient sod perhaps to keen 10
100000 20 12.000.O00 ounces OF silver on
hand. when the market is weak we
VIII hold back this silver letting it out
as the demand warrants IT. Bv doing
this and cutting out the middleman
over in England we expect to keep
silvei- at a price which viii make il
pay TO mine.
OUT intention also is to reduce the
smelling charges on low grade ores to
the lowest possible figure. making up
for tt by raising the price on the high
grade product In this way we hope
to encourage the development Of min
ing properties and increase the produc-
Jion of ore. We hope tC make it pay
10 mine az the ore in q mine. In gen
eraL we win try 20 follow out policy
of cooperation between the smelling
company and the mine owner"
