OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
yvN HE prediction has often been
made that Salt Lakc--mors
properly speaking, tho Salt
Lake yalley-is destined to be-
come the greatest smelling
center IN the world There are
A. excellent reasons TO believe
that these hopes win soon be
realized, especially when such assur-
ancas come from officials Of the Amerl-
can Smelling g. Refining company; the
greatest organization of the kind In

position Of this city and valley makes
this the local center FOR the whole in

ores Of nearly every Utah camp are
brought here for treatment while n.
steady stream Is coming constantly
from the mining camps Of the sur
rounding states.
