In January of 1903 a contract was
made with the American Smelling &
Refining company to treat the ores of
the company at the Garfield smelter.
This contract was for one year, with
the right for the Utah Consolidated to
extend for another year. At the end
OF six months the Utah company nOti-
fled the American Smelling & Refin-
ing company that il awaited itself of
the extension of the contract for the
additional year and would take up the
question of long term contract. The
American Smelling q Refining COM
pany was not prepared to confer on
this for ninety days, but upon notice
from the Utah company that 1t must
decide by at least Sept "a, as its 'Op-
tons of land surrounding the new
smelter site expired on Oct. 1, the
American Smelling e. Refining COM

Utah company that II would do moth
ing except TO extend the contract on
the same terms existing. The options
on the land surrounding the smelter

Friction in the board has been evil
