Ctnh Consolidated Reduction Work
viii BE Basis of New Incorpora-
lion to Handle Project.


The chief topic of conversation, not
only among mining men, but every
where In business circles is the proba-
able building of n new shelter at Too
ele, by Utah Consolidated kindred III
tercsts.
The announcement that either com
pany has been formed for the consum-
nation of this project, or its final de-
termination, has not been formally
made yet but from SO many apparent
ly reliable sources comes the news that
1t can no longer be doubted.
The belief prevails that the options
held by the Utah Consolidated in Too
Gle county. have passed to the Cole
pany will be Incorporated to carry out
the new sn1elter project, which nat
urally is assumed to have for It's bust
ness foundation, a complete under
standing with the Utah Consolidated
company, regarding the future reauc-
ton of its ores. at the expiration of It's
present contract with the Guggen-
helms.
Something more than a year ago the
reduction supremacy of Salt Lake was
practically wiped out Of existence by
the injunction obtained against the
shelters, but with this new project
and the installation OF new devices for
rpbbing smelter fumes of their deadly
this direction. bids fair not only to be
re-estab lished, but added to, very ma
terialy.
< 1T is expected that the near future
will see the arrival Of Messrs Cole and
RYAN, who are reported to be conten,-
plating n visit to this city for closer
examination of the subject

HEARING ON !.
TA..IFF ON SUGAR \:

Washington, Nov. 16.--Consumefs OF
sugar in the United States We're par
ticularIy interested in the hearing 10
day before the house committee on
ways and means on the quesuoh VI
higher or lower tariff rates on sugar
and its manufactures. The nght ~
the free entry of sugar was lla''e "
the claim that the treasury does iiot
get any benefit from the present duty
1t also was claimed by those VINO arg
opposing the so-oalled sugar trust
that the present rate OF duty on raw
sugar no longer Is required for pro-
tecting the American sugar growers,
on the ground that sugar is raised III
this country as cheaply as abroad.
The United States consumes about
100000 tons of sugar annually While
il produced, l. 532,954 tons last year,
including the output of the Philippine
Islands. which enjoy q preferential rate
of % per cent less than the duty pro-
vided by the Dingley tariff law
The Hawaiian reciprocity treaty of
Jau. 80, 1875, provided for the entry
free of duty OF sugar from the law
ALLAN Islands and those in favor OF
free trade with the Philippines argue
that the same privilege should be
granted to the Philippines
Before the hearing began Chairman
Payne said:
Despite the criticism and prophe-
cles in the press to the effect that the
committee had already made up its
mind with regard to the revision of the
tariff, | Will say that this committee
will stand on the facts brought out
at these hearings and will welcome
any facts of any kind. whether they
favor lower duty or higher duty, or
even free trade on some articles
Henry Oxnard, a beet sugar grow
er and retiner of the west, argued
against any change in the present tarA
III. but favored higher duty If any
was neccssarT.

BACK FROM DEEP GREEK.
Major Il. W. Young Looks for Early
Construction OF Road to Rich
Country.

Maj. II. w. Young, Who accompanied
the first train west over the Western
Pacific railroad last Monday, has re-
turned from the Deep Creek country,
whittier he went on business connected
with mining matters. Maj. Young
states he had most successful trip,
and a very enjoyable one over the new
ly completed road.
"The Western Pacific is splendid
road said Maj. Young this morning,
and has a fine roaubed, and 1t is u
pleasure to travel over it, The road at
present runs to within about 30 miles
Of the hills of the Clifton mining dis
trict in the Deep Creek country, and
understand thar one of the first extern.
sfons made after the completion of the
main line Of the road--and perhaps be-
fore--will be a branch line from Wend-
over, the last station on the line IN
Utah, southwark to the Deep Creek
country.
That the Deep Creek district is one
of the most heavily mineralized sec
lions in the west there can be no doubt
saw mines, holes aud prospects all
over the country, in the mountains, on
the hills and even in the road. Some
of the mines there are now on a pay
ing basis, Notwithstanding the cnct-
nous expense entailed i'll hauling the
orc to points Of transportation, which
expense has been considerably lcsscned,
however, by the closer proximity OF
the Western Pacific road at Wendover
But with the advent of railroad
into the country, or the establishment
of smelter, the Deep Creek country
will become one of the leading mining
camps of the west.
'rhe reason that Deep creek has not
come TO the front as mining section
is because, generally speaking, the ore
Is such low grade that it will not stand
the heavy expense entailcd in the
charges to get the metal
to market. But this objection will be
done away with when the Western
Pacific builds in there, and this Will be
done, in my opinion, in the near flu

TINrIG CENTRAL SINKS.
Three Compartment Shaft After Sioux
Big Ore Channel.

That the Tntic Central board is fully
alive to the fact that the Colorado
Sioux ore channel in all human prob
ability, enters the Tintic Central
ground, there is not the slightest doubt
and that the board is f,irthering the
plans of the management, to in every
way take due advantage of this fact,
is also evident. AT board meeting
held in Provo Saturday afternoon 1t
was decided to let a contract for the
sinking still deeper of the throe-con-
partnient ashaft already down 100 feet,
From the manner in which the pub
lie has been buying this stock, at y.
time when futures are being largely
relied upon, it is the belief of the board
that the security is being taken in the
light of an Investment. and that it Is
being laid away--taken off the mar
ket, as fast as bought.

Good Roads Talk
From Gov. Stubbs

work to no definite purpose. As Mr..
Stnbbs points ont it is quite as i'm
portant to have an established grade
for dirt roads as for rock roads be-
cause it would insure the proper
drainage and establish : uniformity
that. would add fmmeasurably to the
effectiveness Of good dirt roads.
As county superintendent Of roads
the county surveyor would be re-
quired to furnish estimates OF cost OF
rock roads as well as dirt roads and
all construction would be under bis
personal supervision. The road
overseers in the various districts
would work to the plans and specifi-
cations furnished by him even In the
matter Of what is known In Kansas as
Kansas as amending" the roads.
And all this could be done without
creating single new office, 1t would
merely dignity the position Of county
surveyor and make that officer al
ready designated by the state consti-
tuition factor for good in the com
munity administration.
