OLD COPPER PLANT.
Col. Wall Has Purchased one Of the
steel Buildings

The fact that experts IN the employ OF
the Lewsohn brothers OF New YORK
have been engaged in the examination
Of several Utah mining propositions has
revived the story that the we'll known
mining magnates may conclude to go
into the smelling business here and
utilize IN some way the old copper
plant buildings IN north Salt Lake.
This Is not likely 10 he the case, how
ever II the Lewisohns get foot-hold
in this state the chances are they win
be associated with Thomas r. Cole ami
his formidable crowd of ilnanclers.
II is very evident that II IS not the
purpose to use the copper plant buil1-
ings for ore reduction. as Col II. A
Wall, one Of the directors Of the Salt
Lake Engineering works, has purchased
one OF the large steel buildings, 65xl90
feet In dimensions, and the same Is to
be torn down and moved 10 the plant
OF the engineering company near the
Rio Grande shops. where Il Will be 'e-
erected as an addition to one Of the
existing structures.

$4,000 MEN NEEDED.
Early Spring" Responsible for Com
mencing Work In the West.

Chicago, March L. Western railroads
are facing labor famine. Twenty-Five
thousand men are needed in the north
western. and southwestern states TO
build the roads that are already am
der way. and IL Is estimated that be-
fore the first Of June more than twice
that number will be required. There'
never has been such great activity in
railroad building IN the west as al
present. and the visible supply OF labor
In that part OF the country has been
exhausted.
Railroad contractors have been able
to resume work earlier than usual on
account OF the early spring, and they
are making strenuous efforts TO get
men to go west for this work. Ten
thousand men are needed by the West
ern Pacific, tho new Gould line TO Cali
fornla, and they are offering from Sc 10
s225 a day for unskilled labor, with
the chance OF steady work until th,
cold weather sets in again next fall,

Lively Meeting lively meeting Of
the West End Improvement Club took
place last evening, IN the hall above the
90 operative store. There wa. an at
tendance Of about fifty residents Of
that district, aud number Of new
members were taken in. The condition
of number of sewers, and the c0nse-
qucnt danger 10 the public health, was
discussed, and committee was ap.
pointed to confer with the board Of
health and see whether or not some.
thing could h. done. II was decided TO
present n petition to the city council,
for water mains for West Commercial
and Alameda avenues. The matter OF
installing fire station in Iniontown
came up and request will be made to
have one located in this section. which
at present is practically unprotected. A
committee was appointed to look into
the matter OF dividing the first ward
and it seemed 10 be the unanimous op.
inian of those present that such di-
vision should be made. Residents in
Cniontown wish to have public IL.
brary, II. the one in the city hall j. so
far away that the great majority can
not use IL without inconvenience. An
effort will probably be made to estab.
ish one in that part of the city.
