COL. WALL HITS
At UTAH COPPER
---------------------
Well Known Salt Laker Sees a
Danger Signal for Big
Bingham Mine.
TELLS WHY HE SOLD OUT.
Objects to Present Ore Dressing
Methods IN Vogue at Com
pany's Two Mills.

Col. H. A. Wall. who recently dis
posed of his extensive holdings In the
Utah Copper company, has written
long communication to President
Charles M. MacNeill. After refuting
the statement made in certain eastern
financial publications to the eff
feet that he had sold out prior to
January 1. this year. and declaring
that he held IN his own name APP
proXimately $4,000 shares when the
last annual meeting of the company
was held nor quite six months ago, the
colonel renews his displeasure of the
ore dressing methods practised at the
company's mills at Garfield and Cop
pertown and ventures the opinion that
unless changes are wrought, the in
creasing costs of production, which he
intmates are certain to come, the great
property viii be wrecked Col. Wall
also in effect asserts that seeing dis
aster ahead an organized effort is
being made to place the majority OF
shares in the hands of the public.
Here. in substance. is what the colonel
says about the treatment methods In
vogue.
