NOTHING NEW IN The
R. M. SMELTER DEAL

Nothing definite can be learned re-
garding the future Of the Rocky
Mountain smelter whose re-opening
has been 30 much discussed In the
last three OF. four months. and which
was transferred to 9 New York COM
pany last November. Just where the
trouble lies can not be learned here.
hut the general supposition is that
the deal In all likelihood has fallen
through and that the plant will con-
tinue to remain idle, for the present
at least.
When the transfer was made on the
carpets OF the Fremont hotel, the
deal ia said to have been tied up with
provision and that provision, as
stated at the time by one of the men
present at the meeting. was, that il
the new owners for any reason failed
to reopen the plant and have It
working by April 10, 1908, that the
deal should become null and void and
that the smelter should revert to It's
former owners.
If these are the facts. then the
plant no longer belongs to the Troy
Consolidated Mining and Milling
company and in all likelihood the
smelter will remain dormant. 1t is
we'll known fact that since the Troy
company took it over that the re-
opening Of the plant has met with
violent opposition. and just with
what success the oppositi IN has met
is almost proven by the smelter s
present idleness. 1t is also reported
that the local milling company had
finger in the pie, but that is hear
say as far as this office Is concerned.

ence will have to wait awhile longer
