President Claims to
Have Information
of Startling Kind

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. IA spe-
cial dispatch from Washington says:
The president is in possession of in
formation which justifies him in ur-
gently requesting senator's and con-
gressmen to provide literally for for
tifying the Pacific insular possess
sions, Alaska and the Pacific coast.
He has had certain documents in his
hands for several weeks which are of
the highest Importance.
If congress had questioned the pro-
priety of sending the fleet to the Pa
eific the president would have been
compelled to produce this informa-
ton. Fortunately he has been able
to withhold 1t from the public, al
though the substance OF it is known
to congressional leaders.
1t is sufficient to say that the rea-
sons for making adequate provision
for eventualities in the Pacific are
overwhelming, and the president has
ample justification for concentrating
the naval strength of the country in
those waters and for making provi-

UTAH CON. PUTS
FORCE BACK
IN MINES

SALT LAKE. Feb. 5.-General
Manager J. b. Risque of the Utah
Consolidated eompany's properties
returned from his trip east Monday
night. His first act yesterday morn
ing was to issue orders that the mine
force be at once recruited from the
small number left when production
ceased so days ago, to 400 men.
Within a day or two that many min
ers will be at work, and by the 10th
the delivery of 500 to 1000 tons of
ore a day to the American Smelling
and Refining company's Garfield
smelter will begin.
THE company has not changed its
plans in any way said Mr.. Risque
during the afternoon. As you have
probably learned through the dis
patches. the company has closed a
favorable contract with the Ameri-
can company for the handling of the
mines output for the next Il months
with the option on our part of con-
tinuing il for second year. This
has been done in order that produc-
ton might be continued and to give
us ample time in which to build a

The diplomatic situation having
greatly improved in regard to Japan
csc immigration questions, it is pos
sible that the information which
caused the president such funeasiness

ON LOOK FOR ORE
IS AMERICAN
SMELLING
uuAIuU

American Smelling and Refining
company of Salt Lake has repre-
sentative in the local field, inquiring
into the probable future output of
ores, and seeking to line up the pro-
ducers with that institution as reg
ular patrons. says the Fairview News.
This fact would seem to put at rest
all talk of any discrimination against
Nevada mines by any branch of the
smelter trust, and the general public
is now ready to believe that the hue
and cry raised during the late fan
months was founded on nothing but
Imagination. 1t is generally conced-
ed that the smelter trust was finan-
cially embarrassed like all other bust
ness concerns. and that 1t shut off
the shipments from this state because
1t was not financially able to handle
the business under existing condi-
tions.

Recent action of the markets and
developments in industrial and finan-
cial circles have not been of kind to
warrant expectation of early recur-
renee of boom times. If the coun-
try gets through the present year
without setback, but with the steady
gain which now promises, to its
credit, II will have done very well.
There is great deal of readjust-
ing to do before all the machinery
will be operating in perfect accord
with the new conditions that have
been brought asout. In the mean
time it looks very much as If mining
