Counsers Request Honored.

son to spend the Christmas holidays with

claimed the lawyer TO the jury, ''to de-

The jury, however found the prisoner
guilty. Before passing sentence the
judge called for the prisoners Jail rec

with the preacher. Once, and only once,

INCORPORATE RICH GROUP.
Cherokee Nevada Copper Company Is

Articles of incorporation have been

company, with holdings in Lincoln
county, Nevada. The property was for
merly known as the Herman property
located about six miles from Leith, a
station on the San Pedro railroad. The
company mas acquired FIVE claims, con

acquiring this property the men inter

examination made by +. y. Jennings, a
well-kncwn mining expert, who reports
that the property has 1000 feet of n
strong vein IN limestone, that there has
been q number of shafts sunk on this
ledge showing ore in each instance. The
ledge is from six to twelve feet wide,
with rich ore on both the hanging and

Means Reduction Of Income
to City and County of
Large Sum.

4 number of Salt Lake citizens who
have the interests of the city and
county at heart are al loss for some
means 30 create in the minds OF the
citizens generally an appreciation of
the smelters bordering this city, and
what their removal viii mean in the
way of industrial loss 10 the city and
county. One of the most inexplicable
incidents connected with the present
smelter smoke question is the apathy
existing in local circles. The people
generally do not seem 10 realize the
full meaning Of the decision whereby
the plants are TO be restricted In The
reduction of ores, A perusal OF the fol-
lowing figures viii give some idea as
TO the smelling industry of the Salt
Lake valley.
The smeters and mills in and around
the valley consume about SIio,OoO
worth of supplies each month. The pay
rolls aggregate III the neighborhood OF
$350000 each month. They consume
about 100000 worth OF local Goals
and cokes per month. and the local
railroads receive from them in the
neighborhood of 100000 in monthly
freight charges. Taxes 10 The exc
of 100000 per year are paid into the
treasury of Salt Lake county by the
smelling plants.
The above figures arc correct enough
10 give some luCH us " tH' 'b'

grades that their shipment any distance

No doubt the people arc being lulled
to negligence in regard to the smelter
situation by the hope that some means
will be provided for the eradication of
the present nUisauces. II can he stated
upon undoubted authority that no
means as vet have been provided
whereby the fumes from the furnaces
can he saved or separated from their
deleterious contents, Ii stands to
reason that rather than go TO the ex,
pense of removing a great plant and
lieved from the expense incident TO
large law suits, all the companies
would willingly pay big fortune TO
secure such an Improvement. But so
far they have not been able TO secure
this means The fact that the Utah
Consolidated company already has An.
nouuceed it's intention Of moving, and
that all the other companies affected
are now scare hing for other locations,
1T would seem 10 be time that some
thing be done TO assist this great lu-
dustry in Utah.
If Salt Lake is to lose her prestige
as a smelling center and if the mines
are TO be handicapped by distance from
reduction plants, it certainly behooves
each and all TO at least take some in
terest in so vital matter.

GETTING READY FOR
ERA OF PROSPERITY
United States Company lnstalls
All Surface Equipment
at Eureka Mines.

Mines Manager G. r. Allen, Of the
United States Smelling, Refining and
Mining company, has just returned
from the properties of the company at
Eureka, New, and expressed himself on
Wednesday rs being pleased with the
progress the company has been able to
make in assembling the new equipment
for their possessions. Although the dis
trict, like all Nevada and Utah camps,
is handicapped by the lack of railroad
ears. the management is making fine
progress in preparing the workings for
the active campaign of development
soon to he on in full blast.
Mr. Allen states that the manage
ment has retimbered the large shaft
down AS far rs the 600foot level. and
now is beginning To reach the 9O0-foot
level for tho same purpose. IT is eX-
pcctcd that on the l050-foor level water
will be encountered, when the large
pumps Just installed will be placed In
operation. The mammoth compressor
has been placed in position for active
work, and Will he tested soon. Practi.
cally all the surface improvements
nave been completed new and mo-
dern city has been made from the old
community Of Ruby Hill, aud all is be-
ing done by the company to have every
thing in shape for the era of large pro-
ductioD to begin during the coming
year.
If railroad cars could be procured at

pany could move l50 tons per day to

itself in the least Mr.. Allen was asked
regarding the rumor that the United
States Smelling, Refining and Mining
company was contemplating the remov-
al of the smelter of the company to

unwilling to discuss the matter al.
