More Smclters-

The Salt Lake Tribune says that

tor the express purpose Of treating
ores from the great state Of Nevada
IL comments upon the fact as follows.
"One of the prominent mining men
said this morning he believed this was
the natural outlet for all of the
Nevada ores, as well as the product
OF this state, as the railroads in New
ada are so scattered, while all the
lines center in this valley. In add.
ton to this, he said that the facilities
Tor smelling the ores here are en-
tlrely inadequate to the supply, and
that the foreign shelters were on the
local market making better terms
with the producers than the plants

at top prices, the mines are yieino

aud yet the future possibilities OF this
country as a producer of rich metals
