bearing on the Nevada situation at

SOUTHERN NEvADA'S TRADE.
Says Los Angeles Will Build Smelt'
ers and Get the Business.

H. 8. Joseph of Salt Lake, mine
owner and manager. recently paid a
business visit to Los Angeles and was
interviewed by q reporter of the Los
Angeles Herald. Speaking Of Southern
Nevada's trading points. he said:
''Los Angeles. already has the major
portion of trade with the new Bullfrog
and Tonopah mining districts and it is
only a question Of time until smelters
will be built here and the ore sent
down to the coast for treatment. It is
q disagreeable thing for Salt Lake
man to be forced to say, but it is the
truth.
"Los Angeles will do much of the
smelling for the new district for two
reasons" said Mr.. Joseph.
zone of them is that it is easier and
cheaper to haul the ore down hill to
the coast than up hill to Salt Lake,
and secondly, in my home city the
freight rates will make it prohibitory,
not to mention the fact that the
smelling there is in the hands of q
Trust. Materials foc smelling ores can
be found not far distant from Los An
geles.
LAS Vegas is the general distribut-
ing point for the district and Los An
geles will get most of the commerce.
San Francisco has already taken second
place.

and is to be a permanent one"
