Another Smelter.
We have received the following
communication from Ogden:

We have received the following
communication from Ogden:
OGDEN. UTAH, April End, '06
The Oregon Short Line Railroad
Company has just started large
grading outfit to work on the pre-
liminary construction work OF a
new spur leading to the site of the
new ST 100000 smelling plant, that
will be erected by the Utah Smelt-
ing Company seven miles north of
Ogden. 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 will be CON-
menced. It is expected that the
same will be completed and be
ready for business within the next
Elk months.
This plant will be the first in
dependent smelling concern to
enter the field since the trust
gained control of all the smelling
interests of the country, therefore
it is looked upon as an important
move and one that is destined to
make the city of Ogden a promi-
nent smelling point. This can be
better understood when it is re-
membered that about two months
ago Charles M. Schwab the steel
magnate, who is largely interested
in mining properties of the west,
under threat to start an indepen-
dent smelter on the coast, forced
the trust to grant him 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 Sc
cured the reduction mentioned he
abandoned the idea of operating
it. The actual operation of an in
dependent 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 combination
of capitalists, its president being
David Eccles of this City, who is
widely known as a man of sterling
business integrity and who has
never known to fail in any enter
prise with which he became identi-

Rushing Orange
Trains.

The Southern Pacific Company
has reduced the running time OF
orange trains between Sparks and
Ogden from forty to thirty-four
hours, while two hours have been
taken off the Sacramento division
schedule. To operate trains under
the new schedule the tonnage hanl-
ed by each engine will be reduced
frem l,640 tons to 800 tons. On
the single track between Carlin
and Ogden last Saturday there
were seventeen trains in motion.

Jefferson is
Booming


The Jefferson townsite has been
approved by the Commissioners of
Nye county, and a new town has
arisen in Nevada that bids fair 10
outrival the older camps in Nye
county that have been the means
of making Nevada famous in the
mining world. The town Of JEFF
ferson is located centrally in one
of the richest mineral sections in
Nevada, and as for natural advan-
tages, it outranks any mining town
in Nevada. 1t is situated on the
East side of Smoky valley in the
mouth of jefferson Canyon where
there is a beautiful stream Of water
and wood is plentiful; added to all
this are the mines North, East and
South, all of which depends on
Jefferson as n distributing point.
The new town already has its share
of business, and building is only
delayed on account of weather con-
ditions, which prevents freighting,
but the demands for lots is increas-
ing and it already looks as though
an addition to the present town
site will have to be made in order
to supply the demand.
From the continued discoveries
in Nye county, it appears that
nature is trying to give every
prospector a chance to make for
tune, for no sooner has one camp
been established, than another is
discovered. 1t is reported that
another strike has been made at
Round Mountain, about three
miles from Jefferson, that makes a
surface showing greater than the
discovery recently made by L. ID.
Gordon at the same place.
These discoveries have tend
ency towards confirming the belief
that this section Of the country is
only beginning to get a glimpse of
what lies in the future, With re-
spect to mining in Nevada.
With two weeks of good weather
Round Mountain, Millett and JEFF
ferson will take on life and pro-
duce business for this section of
the country that will have mark
ed effect on all branches of bnsi-
ness. ss.-Reveille.

Opening Gun of
the Campaign
Silver and Democratic Par
ties to Work Together
on Equal Basis.

Meetings of the Silver and Dem
ocratic State Central Com mittees
have been held in Reno. There
was a good attendance at both
meetings and details concerning
the separate organizations were
first taken up and discussed. Sub
sequently both Committees as
sem bled at the Court House in
Reno few days ago and there act
ed together on matters connected
with the State Convention and the
coming campaign. Chairman Jas.
G. Sweeney presided over the
Democratic wing, while Chairman
Sauchereau performed a similar
duty for the Silver Com mittee.
1t WAS regularly agreed and re-
corded, that one State Convention
should be held at which the Silver
men insisted ou an equal repre-
sentation with tie Democratic
party. Reno was chosen as the
place of meeting and Sept. 24th as
the date. The apportionment of
delegates was fixed on basis of
one delegate for every fifty votes
cast for H. F. Bartine and fraction
over twenty-five votes. This ap-
portionment applies to each party
and will provide a convention of
222 delegates. The parties will
hold independent primaries for
the selection of delegates.
OFFICE HOLDERS VOTED TO
The following extract from the
| pen of q. w. Ingalls,, who attend
ed the Central Com mittee meeting
CT the Fusion Silver Party at
Reno, is taken from the account of
the proceedings published in the
Sparks Forum:
"At Il 9 meeting of the Silver
party committee there were pres
ent double the number to those at
the Democratic committee meet
ling. Addresses we're made by Mr..
Sharon. +. d. Kelley, Nate Roff,
j. L. Considine. and John Consi-
fdine, senior, Charles Burke, w. o.
Mack, H. Fl. Beck and Senator
Raftice OF Eureka. There was,
undoubtedly manifest sentiment
OF most of the committee favorable
to the formal dissolution of the or
ganization of the Silver party at
this meeting, and had the majority
OF the committee, which included
the principal speakers, seen fit,
they could have carried vote for
dissolution. The earnest appeals
and speeches of Sam Davis, John
Coinsidine, E. d. Kelley and j
l.. Coinsidine, all Office holders,
finally led the committee to agree
to unite with the Democrats and
to hold a convention together as
two parties on equal representa-
tion and equaldivision of officers" !"

WHITING HAS LABOR TROUBLES.


There was futter of excitement
around Whiting yesterday afternoon
when it seemed that a strike of the
teamsters was imminent. The cause
OF the trouble is Myron Jones, a con-
tractor who is said to be decidedly
opposed to the cardinal principals
of unionism. Jones has a contract
TO remodel the building on the cor
ner of Front and 18th streets. oc-
cupied by the Kilcullen boarding
house and saloon and owned by
Banker Schrage.
Yesterday the new plate glass win
dows for the building arrived in
Whiting and it's union teamsters at
first refused TO handle the big crates
of glass for the anti-union carpenter
Business Agent Jim Hayes of the
teamsters union was called in to de-
eide what the teamsters had better
do about the matter and decided to
call off the threatened strike after
several heated interviews with the
and the banker.

WHERE THEY TRAIN.

Local sports are interesting them

are scheduled to be pulled off in the
middle west in the near future
Down at Cedar Like Benny Yanger
is hard at work in preparation for
ais bout in Indianapolis, August 10.
Herman, who is to be his opponent.
has also chosen Indiana as the most
desirable place in which to train
and will make his headquarters at
Broad Ripple, a resort near Indian
apolis. Associated with him will be
Joe Galligan who is preparing for his

These contests promise to be the
most interesting of any to be held in
the middle west for long time and
Indiana seems to be in the pugilistic
limelight just at this time.
