try of the pioneers into the Salt Lake

and free of the shackles that have re-
tarded the progress of the district for
the last three years.
Thousands Are Present.
Thousands of people from Provo and
the towns up and down the valleys
from Salt Lake to Spanish Fork were
IN attendance. Salt Lake itself prob
ably contributed 1000 to the throne.
While all the towns within fifty miles
or the camp were represented by
rigs to carry them.
Thursday night trains carried hun
dreds into camp who were bent on
seeing the mines. while the Eureka
railroad, Jesse knights road between
smelter and mines, ran trains during
the afternoon TO accommodate the
throngs anxious to get a glimpse of
such properties as the Colorado, Sioux
Consolidated. Iron Blossom. etc. while
hundreds braved the intense heat and
'hoofed" it up the mountain sides.

manity that il was not possible To see.

Uncle" Jesse decided to have tho
smelter dedicated by President Joseph
F.. Smith of the Mormon church. who
was aided in the ceremony by Apostle
