Has the Old copper plant In North salt

that u was either the Western Pacific or
the MOifRt line.
one story is that the plant has been
taken over by the Utah Fuel company
and that it WAS TO form the nucleus for
large steel manufacturing concern.
General Manager Williams Of the utah
Fuel was seen by q representative OF the
News and that gentleman declared that
he had not heard OF any such deal being
made, nor mat anything Of the kind had
been contemplated.
OF the iron fields IN Iron county. declared
that he had entered into no such scheme
and characterized the story as having no
foundation. 1t had come TO him, however,
that the property had been bonded 20 a
representative Of one Of The railroad COM
pdnlcs.
The copper plant was erected about
1g years ago az cost Of approximate
~ $4,000 II was well equipped with
machinery, but WAS never placed IN
commission. A few years ago the prop

mission, Tho local manager of the
Lewisohn interests made this announce
ment shortly after this he WAS sud-
denly ordered 10 prooeed no further and
the general bglief was that an UNDER
standing had been reached With the
American Smelling a Refining COM
pany which was organized about this
time Had the Lewisohns started the
plant they would have entered into
competition with the American for
certain classes OF ores, which was not
desired until the building Of the Sow
eral Independent plants IN the valley
the American had complete monopoly
on the local ore situation
The story that the railroads have
been figuring Tor the property seems
plausible.
