that the site selected Is situated about

Tho Heinze interests have secured

his staff Of engineers. Having tne az
vnntages of ali the railroads entering
the state, the plant VIII be easy OF ac-
cess by all shippers of custom ores W
well as from the mines operated ana
controlled by Mr. Heinze himself. the

Ing operations of that corporation with.
In the confines of Salt Lake county VIII
cease altogether.
Just how soon work will begin on the
construction of the new plant Is yet
a matter of conjecture. However. 1t Is
not believed that the start VIII be very
long delayed, In view of the fact that
II Is only a question of few months
until the Bingham Junction smelter
must either undergo expensive repair
or 70 out of business entirely. Then
again, the injunction OF the federal
court still stands In the way, and II ~
still an uncertainty whether any OF the
COPPER shelters operating In the valley
south of Salt Lake City VIII continue
10 operate much longer.
IL is very evident that Mr.. Heinze Is
going into the smelling business IN
Utah as a formidable competitor of tit
American Smelling & Refining compa-
nv for all classes of ore and there Is
no doubt that with the system of mines
he has rounded out, he VIII occupy a
most commanding position in the smelt-
ing world.
The plant TO be built near Garfield,
