that the property would be sold at auc-

The collection was formerly the prop
erty OF the old Board Of Trade, which
was an active organization In Salt Lake
a dozen years ago This collection Of
mineral was at that time considered
TO be oneo the most valuable In the
west; It contains pieces Of ore from
nearly every mine and camp in the
state.
The stock exchange acquired the lot
from the now defunct Utah Mining ex-
change, organized as a rival of the ex-
listing board several years ago. II was

TlNTIC PRODUCERS MEET.
Several Declare that Low Grade Ores
Cannot be shipped Probably.

There was a fair attendance at the
Tintc producers meeting held at the
Commercial club last night In Just
what manner the railroad companies
Will be approached In the matter Of
getting a reduction Of the present tariff
schedule on low grade ores was rot
fully determined, but a committee was
appointed, after a thorough discussion
Of existing conditions, which will prob
ably report upon some plan and sub
nit the same to the producers AT the
adjourned meeting TO be held next Fri
day night
Last nights meeting was called 10 or
der by Manager II S. Joseph of the
Carisa mine. who stated the object OF
the gathering He was made chairman
and =. j. DAILY secretary.
James Chapman, manager Of the Low
er Mammoth, declared that unless the
railroads made a reduction In the pres.
ent tariffs the shipment Of low grade
ores from Tintio would have to cease.
The cost Of sorting ores to get II under
the SIS limit, which carries the 81 80 per
ton freight rate, is too expensive and
leaves practically no profit to the mine
owner The prod -ers, he declared
the ore down just az II comes ana put
ting up the 81, 50 rate The fact OF the
matter is, Mt Chapman said, the SIS
limit on low grade ores is OF no benefit
whatever lie believed that If the linn
II was raised to $50, the railroads would
get a greater tonnage than they do now
and the mine owners would have an
opportunity TO market their low grade
ores with more certainty of realizing
profit
Other speakers, among them being
James w Nell and c. Il. Allen, agreed
with Mr. Chapman that at the present
time 1t Is difficult to come out even on
low grade ores shipped from Tintic to
the local smelters.
Mr.. Nell thought that II the produc-
ers went to the railroads asking for a
nat rate on ores they would be met
with a refusal He believed that the
rates should be figured OUT on a differ
ent basis entirely and that they should
be based on the metallic contents OF the
ores This Is done In Colorado and some
other places, Mr. NELL said, and he felt
confident that the transportation
companies would do the right thing II
some plan along the lines he suggested
were presented
Manager Whitley, OF the American
Smelling & Refining Co. s.gested that
the matter be placed fairly before the
railroads and that trial be asked for,
giving them the assurance that the
tonnage viii De increased.
Mr. Nell made the motion for the ap-
polntment OF the committee mentioned.
