port to a population of about $4,000
persons in Utah and surrounding
states. The existing plants are ex-
tracing the metallic contents from
4,250 tons of ore per day. OF this
amount, the American Smelling & Re-
firing company handles 1900 TONS
the United States and Bingham Cop
per & Gold, 1000 tons each;l the
Utah Consolidated, $50 tons. During
this year equipment will be provided
to greatly increase the capacity of
these plants.
Salt Lake is rapidly taking its posi-
ton as the greatest smelling center
in the world. The several great trans
continental lines of railroads con-
verging at this point, and with others
headed this way, places this city in a
commanding position as regards the
smelling industry. 1t is the natural
mining and smelling center of the
west and ores are brought here for
treatment from the states of Califor-
MIA, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyom-
ing and Colorado as well as from ev-
cry district of our own state.
Manufacturing Interests.
The general manufacturing inter-
ests are growing in Utah and Salt
Lake; they are already quite consider
able. There are foundries, wooden
mills, boot and shoe factories, Touring
mills, canning establishments, brew
cries, baking powder, cider and ex-
tract factories, pickle and vinegar
a,,I ,nrly
tablishment, bedding and mattress
works, saw mills and numerous other
factories.
AS to finance Salt Lake stands AL.
1t has had only one bank failure in
the last twenty years and that was
only a small affair. In financial mat
tiers Salt Lake is solid. In the COM
mercial panics which the country has
experienced intermittently Salt
Lakes financial houses and Salt
Lakes merchants and manufactures
stood calmly by unscathed, while
ruin and disaster held sway on every
hand.
Salt Lake is the center of culture
and refinement in all this western
country. 1t excels in music, paint
ing and poetry. The glorious noun
tains, the crags and peaks, the great
lakes and the pure invirogating air
such as can be found nowhere else
are inspirations, breaths from heav-
en-, which touch the lips and the
souls of our artists, and give express
sion in painting, sculpture, poetry and
song.
Religious Advantages.
Religion, do you say? Yes, Salt
Lake has representatives of all kinds
of religious thought and all are abso-
lutely free to worship God as they
please or not worship at all if they
so please. Mormons, Catholics, Epis-
copalians, Presbyterians, Baptists,
Campbellites, Methodists, Unitarians
and every other kind down to the
Holy Jumpers are here and all enjoy
equal rights and privileges, not only
in theory but in actual practice. No
body cares what be the religions pro-
clivites of his neighbor as long as he
accords the other fellow the same
privilege as he claims for himself and
conducts himself decently and decor
ously.
There is less drunkenness in
Salt Lake. than in any city of its size
in America, fewer saloons in Utah by
half than in most states in the Union
on basis of population, fewer gam
blers, less crime and only 65 polyga-
nous men in all of Salt Lake City.
This latter fact may be doubted by
