COuhle of the CDUurIimeU known to be nos
tile to extending the Utah Light q Rail
way COmpaEyS franchises would not
agree to it They argued that no ac-
ton should be taken on the franchise

While these propositions were being dis

the NewhouSe lighting and power fran
chise ordinance at tOnIshtS meeting of
the council and pass IT, To this there
was no opposition among the eight COUu-

EGOTIATIONS for the sale of the

The purchase price. while carefully
guarded. il understood To be $9-o0o.eoo.

to every consideration that the in
tending purchaser Is the American
Shelters Securities company, the sue

company
The mines of the Silver King COM
pa1y were examined and sampled
months ago by the staff of John Hays
Hammond and IT was stated at the
time that Charles SWeeny, president
of the Federal Smelling and Refining
company. was the purchaser Because
the control of his company has been
landed by the American Shelters Sc
CUTlties company. The statement that
that powerful organization has re-
opened the negotiations Is not at all
surprising
How long it viii take To wind up the
deal is problematicaL bat judges of
the situation and men who have
learned of what is doing are of the
opinion that the transfer is likely TO
be made before the close of the pres
eut year. All of the leading officials
Of the Silver King company are out OF
