United States Supreme Court
Gives Time to Georgia
Plants Recently.
UTAH PLANTS ARE
ASKING SANE THING
Improvements That May Lessen
Damages from Smoke to
Be Added.

There is vet hope for the smelling
industry, and friends of this important
branch of Utah industry are re.
joicing over what has every APP
pcarance of a new friend and in a
new place This new friend of the
smelters is no other than the United
States Supreme Court, and no better
friend could be asked for i'll this
time of need. It would appear that
the highest court in the land is TO
give the smeltcrs a chance for their
life, TO give them a chance to reform
rather than reform them by cutting
them from off the face Of the earth.
\ decision was rendered several
weeks ago by tho United States Su-
prcme Court in what may briefly be
termed the State Of Georgia against
the Tennessee Copper company. The
first reports of this decision were in
effect that the smelters were enjoiued
from further operation owing to the
great damage done TO vegetation for
a radius of fifty miles from the plants.
II appears, however. that this dc
cision was not so in effect, for the
court granted further time, to Oe-
tober, If necessary, for the smclters
do away with the noXious character
of the fumes.
Several days ago the smelter cases
taken 10 the United States District
Court Of Appeals from this State were
argued, and the decision referred TO
above was utilized by the smelter
companies for the purpose at least
of securing the same concessions as
were granted TO the Georgia plants.
This decision places an entirely new
phase upon the subject, apparently,
and one much more favorable to the
smelters than any heretofore rendered.
The Montana cases are now before the
court for decision, but as there arc
many volumes of testimony to be gone
over by the court, decision is not
to be expected for several months.
The local smelters. defendants in
the suits brought by the farmers, arc
making strong efforts, it is generally
understood. TO lessen the damage of
fumes and smoke, and should they
be able 10 show the courts that the I'M
provements being added TO the plants
at this time viii do away with the
obnoxious character of the fumes
emitted from the smelters. there is
good reason to expect the Utah cases
to be shown the same relief as that
secured in Georgia

SAMPLERS AND SHELTERS.
Two Important Industries Of State Very
Closely Allied in Interests.

For the purpose Of looking over min
ing conditions for themselves, and to
inspect tho character of work being
done in the Taylor G. Bruntou ore sam
ping plant at Murray. Mcssrs. Taylor
and Brunton are IN Salt Lake from
their Denver headquarters. Before
reaching this city these gentlemen made
an extended trip through the mining
camps Of Nevada and Mr.. Taylor stated
yesterday to The Tribune that he found
everything IN a much more satisfactory
condition than he had anticipated. He
noticed everywhere a tendency to get
down 10 hard work in the mines, and
the process OF going to depths after re-
sources should, within a short time,
greatly increase the regard for the
Sagebrush State and her mines that the
country generally feels is her due
Mr. Taylor is especially pleased with
the splendid shape Of Utah and her
mines. Utah. he stated, was going ahead
tinely. The only cloud upon the hori-
zon at present is the uncertainty sur
rounding the smelling industry, an uu-
certainty that naturally affects the ore
sampllns business as well as the smelt-
ers. 1t Will be recalled that when the
decision recently was handed down
against the smelters and in favor Of the
farmers of the Salt Lake valley. the
Taylor Brunton company had already
contracted for extensive improvements
10 their Murray plant. These improve.
ments were to cost in the neighborhood
of 100000, but when the decision was
handed down the plans were abandoned.
1T is Too early at present to form any
very extensive opinions about the fu-
lure status of the smelling and sam.
ping industries, but when the situation
has cleared up, and when demands are
being made by the producers Of ore
for more extensive samplng facilities.
IT is safe TO predict that the Taylor &
Brunton company Will resurrecG their
discarded plans and complete at Muir
ray what will be one of the largest ore
sampIlng plants IN the country.

TEAMS FOR MOSCOW,
Company Endeavoring TO Purchase
Horses and Wagons in Salt Lake.

F. +. McGurrin, one of the official
household of the Moscow Mining com
pany,. returned Monday from the prop
erty IN Beaver county. Mr.. McGurrin
states that Sunday morning the board
ing house of the company caught fire
and WAS totally destroyed A woman
and her children were fortunately taken
from the burning building before they
were injured, although they had a very
narrow escape. The company, states
Mr.. McGurrin, has purchased lumber,
and will rebuild the boarding hous5
without delay
Inasmuch as it has been found inn
practical TO depend upon teams from
Milford and vicinity for the transpor-
tation of the Moscow ores from the
mine TO the tracks, the company on
Monday began looking around in Salt
Lake for horses and wagons! The de.
termination of the company to own its
own teams will end in securing all the
needed facilities for ore transportation
and shipments should begin coming reg
ularly from this noted old property as
soon as these teams are received al the
mine. MI McGurrin states that every
thing In the mine is assuming ideal
shape, the team question alone present.

NORTHERN NEVADA RUSH,
Elko County Camps Attracting Talent
From Utah and Nevada.

The rush is on to northern Nevada.
i was bound to come as soon as Ne
vadA and Utah caught on To the fact
that there was something at the famous
old district of Tuscarora worthy Of
some strong New York capital becom-
ing interested there. Southern Nevada
already is furnishing men for the old
sections of Elko county, while Utah tai
ent, as usual, is not far behind in the
race. Surrounding the old Tuscarora
section are numerous old camps whose
records of production are by no means
small. and many new camps are being
discovered whose possibilities are by no
means Insignificant
One who has Just returned from an
extensive automobile trip through this
interesting mining region is authority
for the statement that there is a great
rush into these sections, Elko county
at one time occupied the center of the
stage, and the attractions, minus the
few millions taken out thirty years or
so ago. are still there. 1t is section
Of the State that presents unusual fea-
lures from a Nevada standpoint. There
Is an abundance of water, and an alb
eence of the desert that has attended
all previous activity during the resur-
rectioD period.
From Elko is being surveyed a rail
built, presumably, by the Tuscarora Ne
vada Mines company, the organization
that has gathered in all the famous old
bonsnzas of that portion of the State.
This company is fast assuming shape
for business, and aside from employing
great many miners. this organization
will provide the getup-and .go-at-itive-
ness that will inspire others to get busy.
This territory is tributary to Salt Lake.
The machinery houses and merchants of
Zion should get all this business 1t is
urged that 1T will pay Salt Lalkcrs to
investigate this field before others cor.
raj the business.

MAY DAY ACQUIRES
UNCLE SAM GROUND
Important Deal Put Through OH
Monday by Shareholders
of Companies.

The stockholders of the Uncle Sam
Consolidated company met Monday
morning for the purpose of selecting
directors for the ensuing year. and TO
transact tho usual business attending
annual sessions The shareholders re,
elected the board OF directors that
served tho company during the year
Just closed, and by name they arc John
Dern, James Chapman, Joseph Nelson,
y: +. Saunders and George Havercamp.
When the directors meet for the pur-
pose of selecting officials, the same who
served last year Will in all probability
be selected
Among the important matters decided
upon by tho stockholders was the nc.
Ceptnnce Of tho proposition made by the
May Day directors some Tune ago for
purchase OF portion of the Uncle
Sam territory. This proposal included
the Uncle Sam. the Cora Fraction, Incz
Fraction and Humbug No. Fraction
claims, and the consideration for the
same was TO be 100000 shares OF May
Day stock, For tins purpose, the di.
rect3rs offered to raise the May Day
capitalization from 400 600 to 100000
shares of stock. The Uncle Sam Con-
solidated stockholders agreed to place
the 100000 shares Of May Day stock
in the Uncle Sam treasury permanently.
II was for the purpose of authorizing
this increased capitalization of the May
Day company that tho stockholders OF
the May Day met yesterday afternoon,
and the same was put through without
opposition. The result will be more
economical operation of both properties
under one management. That the May
Day with its new possessions will make
much honorable history for the Tintic
district goes without argument, and the
wisdom of the new order OF things has
been conceded for some time past.

COMMONWEALTH IS IN
VERY PROMISING ROCK
Beacon Shaft Breaks Into New
Body of Very Fine Red
Metal Ore.

\. a. Dunyon, manager Of inc
Commonwealth Mining company, re-
turned Monday morning from a vlsit
to the properties of the company IN the
Star district of Beaver county. ana
it was word of the most signlfi-
cant import that he brought for
the Salt Lake stockholders regard
ing this Salt Lake proposition. The
management has been sinking smart
upon the Beacon claim, and so lar
this shaft has been sent to depth
of about lifty.three feet, from the
surface this working has been in cop
per sulphidc ore, and up TO the last
fifteen feet the average value OF the
ore has been in the neighborhood OF
) per cent copper.
The last fifteen feet. however, has
value, and averages 5.96 per cent cop
gold. Such q decided improvement
with depth has greatly elatcd the
management, and before leaving the
property Manager Dunyan let another
contract, which will send this work
ing 100 feet further in depth. The
company also is sending n tunnel IN
from the eastern side Of the group,
This tunnel is in distance Of 500
feet, and the last few feet have shown
such m Improvement that Mr.. Dun
van expects an east and west orc
bearing hssure TO bc tapped at any
time.
The Commonwealth is showing up
proportions entirely within the antici-
pations of the officials, and all con.
nectcd with the company are very
much pleased with developments. Mr..
Dunyan stated that he saw some ex-
tremcly rich copper and silver ore
that came from the new eighteen
inch chute in the Progressive work
ings, and IL was specimen rock all the
way through The Progressive group
is to tho south Of the Commonwealth,
while lis nearby ncighbors are the
Hub, Moscow and other properties now
active and showing up fine results,

NEVADA IS down
TO BRASS TACKS
Companies In Sagebrush State
Are Getting Down TO
Hard Work.
DISTRICTS ARE IN
VERY GOOD SHAPE
Goldfeld, BullfrOg and Other
Camps Are Doing Sincere
Development Work.

Although speculative Nevada is suf
fering from the present uncertain and
unsatisfactory conditions prevailing
throughout the financial world like
every other portion of the country, yet
never before have genuine mining con.
ditlons presented more food for opti-
mlsm than those now existing. This
is the Impression gained by Windsor Y,
Rice, upon making tour Of several
districts of Nevada in which he is in
terested. During his trip through the
Sagcbrush State, Mr.. Rice visited the
Bullfrog, Goldfeld and Fairvicw mining
districts. and in each he has extensive
mining interests.
Bullfrog, he stated Monday, as a town
was net booming unduly,. but on all
sides there were plenty of evidences of
acter of work being doue in the mines
was most encouraging and nnprccedcnt-
ed. There are no idle men IN the camp,
for there is no reason for anyone to go
without work. Goldfeld is in much bet
ter shape than the outside world has
concluded from reported conditions
there All the mines are hard al work
In developing their resources, and the
speculative element alone seems 10 have
suffered by the panicky woes of tho
East Mr.. Rice was agrceably surprised
at the real state of affairs al Goldheld.
The trip TO Fairview was taken for
The purpose of seeing for himself the
real shape of things in the famous Ne
vada Hills property, of which company
Mr. Rice is president. He states the
reports 10 the effect that The Nevada
Hills never was in better shape are
positively based upon facts. The man
agement has been doing some very cX"
tensive deep work, and with depth the
improvement has been decided and per-
manent. The property is III ideal con-
di;ion, and the officials are correspond
ingly pleased and positive OF the prop"
erty.
For some time the great rush into the
Wonder district caused teams TO he al
a premium TeamsterS could make
more money by bringing IN rapid
freight to Wonder from Fallon than by
accepting any outfrelght at all. They
preferred, therefore. to 90 out light in
order 10 hasten in with the freight for
which they received very generous CON,
pensation. The rush is not so marked
at the present time, and as q result
those of Falrvicw with ore to send out
are meeting with less difficulty in Sc
curing the means of transportation.
This changed condition of affairs has
reacted very satisfactorily Tor the Ne
vada Hills management. and 1T Is md
ing little difficulty now 10 secure teams
for Kidding the property of the great
tonnage of accumulated resources. This
fact explains the present splendid
amount of ore that is being sent out
bv this company, and 1t gives promise
of greatly assisting the management 10

summer
