ON Grand Junction as smelt

pective Penn ylania investors and it
shows the business like characteristics
with which our Keystone state men

truthful statemsent:
Il was selected to go out and look
over the affair. The 1st question
was: Is the town located as represent

ore supply. l saw Col. Newman of
Aspen who said he could give us 200
tons day. A Mr.. Mulroony of Lead.
vile said he could give us from 300 to
1900 tons per day Mr.. Davis. a pro-
ducer in Leadville said he would give
us 200 tons "a day. Mr. Newell of
Leadville said he would give US 100
| tons per day. Mr.. Marden of the
w stern Slope mines said he would
give us 80 tons per day. And so it
was everywhere / went.
''Those producers are anxious for "a
smelter at Grand Junction because

sulphide ores on the dumps and have
no market for it. The lead SINE ters
