SHELTER FOR
CALIENTE.

The Salt Lake Tribune srys-
Blessings are not coming singly
for the Phoebe mining district,
for following the news of the
new railroad being provided for
comes the tidings from New
York to the effect that the
American Smelling and Refining
company intends to erect a large
smelling plant at Caliente. For
some time rumor has dealt with
eh an enterprise Tor Los vegas
but the intentioais to place the
plant at Caliente instead.
There is little doubt of the in
tention of the American company
to extend its energies to the
Point mentioned. This intention
has been given considerable
prominence in Eastern quarters
close to the company. and the
announcement comes from highly
authentic sonrces. Nor is the
plan an entirely new one as the
agents of the American Smelt-
ing and refining company have
been especially busy of late in
and around Phoebe. They have
been making herculean efforts to
corral about all the ore that the
district is capable of producing.
The accent. decision on the
part of Senator Clark to extend
his road from Bullfrog to Tonopaf
is taken as a part and parcel Of
the fact that the smelter a.
Caliente had been agreed upor
as an entirely feasible and definite
plan The main drawback fol
some time to the successful
erection and oreration of
smelter at the point mettioned
has been the difficulty in securing
sufficient fluxing ores for tn
Nevada output. This objection
seems solved by, the road tha
will tap Phoebe.
As is well known, Pioche cor
tains an apparently inexhaustidl
supply of ores carrying no silic
and much iron, manganese an
lime. Pioche, therefore, wi
contribute not a little to tn
general success of the undertal
ing, and in addition the distrl'
will find a smelter right at i
doors for the reduction of i
copper, lead and silver resource
The, lead deposits Of the distri
alone are sufficient to raise II
region prominently into Il
ranks of mining districts,
there are few properties more
demand than lead proposition
real merit.
Nevada naturally will be {
region to be benefited by Il
new undertaking. From Tonop
to Caliente the distance is 8
miles. Tonopah now is sendi
its ores to this city, and a distan
of 734 miles must be covered
tween these two places. 7
distance from Goldfeld to I
new point will be 2s8 miles
compared with the present q
tance of 76l miles to Salt La
From Bullfrog to Caliente is
miles, and from Bullfrog to S
Lake it is 498 miles via
Vegas. 4s
