Henry r. Ellis. Of Salt Lake has in
vented = revolutionary process in
the smelling Of ores. It has . aume ar-
rester which saves the values which
otherwise wound 60 on in smoke. II
the process can be economically ap-
piled, there is no reason why the Low
grade ores Of Utah should not coma
into immediate demand and larger
mining returns than ever before be
added to the State valuation. Every
improvement in mining and smelling
process adds greatly to the prosperity
Of Utah; for most Of the mining mo-
ney stays here and goes into active
circulation.-Ogden Journal.
The inventor is a former Carson boy

hood, it is likely that he has hit on
