An Independent smeIter.

The Oregon Short Line Rail-
road Company has just started a
large grading outfit to work on
the preliminary construction
work of a new spur leading to
the site of the new $1,000, 900
smelling plant, that viii be
erected by the Utah Smelling
Company, seven miles north of
Ogden, Utah. When this track
has been completed, the material
necessary for the building of the
smelter will be shipped in and
the construction work of the
plant viii be commenced. 1t is
expected that the same will be
completed and be ready for bust
ness within the next six months.
This plant viii be the first in
dependent smelling concern to
enter the field since the trust
gained control of all the smelt-
ing interests Of the country,
therefore it is looked upon as an
important move and one that is
destined to make the city of Og-
den a prominent smeltering point
This can be better understood
when it is remembered that
about two months ago Charles M.
Schwab, the steel ragnate, who
is largely interested in mining
properties of the west, under a
threat to start an independent
smelter on the coast, forced the
trust to grant hin a reduction Of
S. per ton on all his ores, Mr..
Schwab went so far as to lease
an old abandoned smelling plant
near San Francisco, but when he
secured the reduction mentioned
he abandoned the idea of operat-
ing it. The actnal operation of
an independent concern, it would
seem, must necessarily bring
about some effect that would be
favorable to the producers.
The Utah Smelling Company
is backed by a strong combina-
ton of capitalists, its president
being David Eccles of Ogden,
who is widely known as a man
of sterling business integrity and
who was never known to fail in
any enterprise with which he be-
came identified.

Thousands of
Lives Lost.

San Francisco, April 18.-San
Francisco was practically wreck
Ell oy N eletalIake at $40 this
morning. The shock lasted
three minutes, thousands Of
buildings were damaged and de.
stroyed. The loss of life is re-
ported to be great. There is No
water and fire RACES all over the
city. All wires with the ex.
.caetion of one are gone. The
City Hall, costing seven millions
is in rufus. Modern buildings
suffered less than brick and
frame. Terror and excitement
are indescribable. Most of the
. people, asleep, were aroused
and rushed into the streets, un-
dressed. Buildings swayed and
crashed, burying occupants.
Panic in the hotels. Lick house
was badly damaged but no loss
of life is reported there. The
Palace and st. Francis hotels
stood the shock. People flocked
to the telegraph Office to send
messages to friends and were
frantic because there were no
wires. The greatest damage to
buildings was done south of
Market street, where they are
mostly frame buildings and tene-
ment houses. Fire broke out in
every block of that district.

From reliable information we
have it that at a recent meeting
of the Directors of the Bell Tele-
phone Company, $25O.00O was
appropriated to be expended in
Lincoln, White Pine, Eureka and
Elko Counties, in this State, and
that their line was to be extendad
from Newhouse, in Utah, to
Phoebe, before the year was out
and to Las Vsgas next year.
This is indeed welcome news, it
will give to US many advant-
ages not now possessed,
and with the railroad extended
from Caliente to here, which
will be completed within the
next three months, we can
linger with the fond hope
that the temporary county seat
has some show of still remaining
the permanent county seat"

MINING DECISION.

Recently there was rendered
in the district court at Boulder,
Colo. an important decision in
the matter of relocation of min
ing claims. 1t is the first case
of the kind in that state, and
has an important bearing on min
ing litigation. The court held
that locators of mining claims
who have failed to do the annual
assessment work prescribed by
law in order to hold title to the
same have the right to relocate,
the same as any other party who
may jump the claims after the
first location becomes void by
reason of failure to perform the
necessary work. The court held
that the relocation would hold
good at law, providing it was
made before the locatoon by
other parties after the first loca-
ton had become void.
This it seems is more than just
it does not deprive anyone from
locating; the locator must, Of
course, exercise due diligence
and locate prior to relocation on
the part Of the first claimant.
Where districts are settling up
rapidly, and the ground assumes
value of an increasing character,
no man is likely to allow his work
to fail-if so, he takes the
chances of loosing his property,
for, while he may have the right
to relocate, his negligence in the
first instance win likely be re-
peated in the second, and he will
forfeit bis rights in one case just
as he does in the other. -Ores
