The Yampa smelter at Bingham. the
first smelter to be erected in that camp
is the property of the Yampa Smelling
company and was built for the purpose
of treating the ores from the Hampa
mine The mine is the property of the
Tintic Mining and Development COM
panyo and the two organizations are
operated under the same arrangement
The product of the smelter is copper
matte. which is reduced to pig copper
in the shelters in the valley below.
This combination enterprise is un-
der the management of Walter =. KEEL
ley. who has had wide experience in
mine operations and metallurgtcal
work and who took charge of the work
in the early part of the past year II.
G. Bellinger, an acknowledged authori-
ty i'm matters pertaining to smelling, is
consulting metallurgist and acting sup
erintendent of the smeiter plant. w.
J. Craig, who has been connected with
the mine during it's development, is
mine superintendent.
The mine, which presents one of the
largest ore showings in the camp. has
been subjected to steady development
work during the year and to the work
ings which aggregated 5000 feet a year
ago. several thousand feet have been
added. a new double compartment in
cline to be used in connection with
the main haulage incline Of the mine
will be completed within the next three
months This will be equipped with
a substantial electric hoist and Will
operate two skips. An electric haul
age system is also being installed in
the main tunnel of the mine. This cleo

1000 tons of ore daily and will respond

apparent. The greater part of the ore

While. as is the case with silver and
sold mines, the greater part of the ores
are lOw-grade and subject to Concen-

the work progresses, a sufficient amount
of high-grade stuff is obtained to
make regular shipments A still fur

y large cities OF the east there are in
stitutions splendidly equipped for
commercial education. which enroll
hundreds of active students each year
in the various business branches. 1t is
not generally known. however. that in
salt Lake City there is a commercial
college that is fully abreast of the best
institutions OF this kind in the entire
country Business knowledge is the
secret Of success, and no matter what
ones vocation may be, he must do bus
mess. 1t is, therefore, not surprising
that in this city. which is rapidly be-
coming more and more an educational
center. for fourteen years past there
vas a first class institution for business
training, known as the Salt Lake Bust
ness college. In recent years this
school was conducted by Messrs. Popp

Joseph Nelson as proprietor. Within the
last eight years also, the Latter-day
Saints Business college has been rapid

became the largest institution of the

combined now form the largest and best
equipped business college anywhere in
the intermOuntain region. It has four

OF it's students and the courses of prac-
teal instruction pursued by them rep
resent an amount and quality of bust
ness work and a public appreciation
thereof that are unparalleled among
western commercial schools. The insti-
tuition has found that there are two

Chicago, May 3l.-The Daily News
says
conservative members of the ex-
ecutive board of the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters want to SUBJ
NIT the proposition of calling off the
strike TO referendum vote of the
teamsters throughout the country. Ac-
cording to information which leaked
out during the day this move Is being
blocked by President Shea. Shea is
being supported by two members of
the board. Secretary-Treasurer E. l..
Turley heads the faction of the team
sters' executive board which is trying
to submit to a referendum vote the
question of calling of the strike. Tur-
ley controls the funds donated for
strike benefits, as well as the Golfers
of the international brotherhood
1t is the firm conviction of employer
and employe that strike settlement
was remote and according to the en-
ployers could only be brought about
by the unconditional surrender of the
teamsters Attorney Levy Mayer of
the Employers association, after many
important conferences in New York,
declared that the express companies
are irreyocably bound to a declaration
of refusal to re-engage a striker.

The people were confident, but Off
