Col, Treweek Says Nevada Tai
ent Is Covering the East
Thoroughly.
SPEND MUCH MONEY
TO CONVERT CAPITAL
Utah Mining Interests Should
Impress Money Centers of
States Resources.

That the mining men of Utah are
negecting the present opportunity to
impress the financial world with a full
realiza tion Of what the mines of the
State are capable Of doing and becom-
ing, is the opinion of Col. NJ. Treweek,
president of the Wabash Mining com
pany, who returned Monday from an
extended visit 70 New York City Col
onel Treweek naturally is intensely
loyal TO the wonderful mineral resources
OF the State Of Utah, and he is by no
means willing to see Nevada talent
carry of the palm in New York as they
arc very near doing these days. Says
Colonel Trewcek:
~ believe that there should be more
missionary work done by the mining
men Of Utah throughout the great
financial ccnters. The world realizes
to some extent what Utah can do. only
it needs an occasional prodding along
TO bring Utah mines closer TO their
minds No section of tho country is
spending so much money in advertising
its mining propositions as Nevada, and
this form of advertising is not only in
the form Of newspaper publicity, but
they come into personal contact with
the mon Of money. They have estab.
listed publicity bureaus in the East. and
that is what 7 would like to see Utah
mining men do. | would like TO have
them come more into personal contact
with the men who are capable of doing
things on n tremendous scale.
AS mining State, Utah stands we'll
UP to the head of the list. The mining
talent of the State could desire no more
ideal arguments upon which 10 draw
than the present achievements of the
mines and the future possibilities. 1t
is the idea of keeping Utah mining
affairs constantly before the world that
counts, ard the point | wish to make
| do not wish to convey the impress
sion that Utah is without representa-
tion in New York. There arc many
Salt l.atcrs there. who are doing
great work for Utah, and among these
] must mention Willard r. Snyder But
these few men should not be expected
10 handle the whole programme them
selves.
AS every one here knows, there has
been terrible shrinkage during the
past month In railroads and industrials
This affected the copper stocks, for in
such a general upheaval the good nat
urally must 90 the same direction to
certain extent as the bad. A day or
two before ! left New York there was
a general improvement all along the
line. and everything ended to lead one

in the near future. Money is consid-
erably easier. and coppers generally are
highly regarded In fact, / never saw
such interest displayed in mines and
mining before, You can look for
great deal of money TO come West this
year for legitimate mining enter
prises. -
Colonel Treweek expressed himself as
being delighted AT being back in Salt
Lake again, although he must leave
within the next fifteen days for New
York for a second stay Thursday he
expects to leave for Park CITY TO look
over the Wabash property, and next
Sunday he will leave for Yerington on
mining business. The Colonel stated
that he had been asked repeatedly dur
irg his presence in Salt Lake regarding
the report that the Wabash company
has closed down activity. He states
that the company is going right ahead
with its development work, employing
twenty men or more constantly, The
WABASH. ho stated. has been a nard and
long pull. During the period the stock
holders have remained steadfastly by
the company, and he feels that the
Wabash will pull through yet, and in
highly gratifying manner.
