Improving Plant.

The Hardy Grain Company, so
Mr.. M. F. Stubs, the treasurer,
informs us, is making preparations
to improve and enlarge the plants,
both in this city and at Humboldt.
Last week an order for new ma.
chinery to the amount of Sc, 900 was
placed which will be used in con-
nection with the meal mill at Hum
boldt. The buildings are being
remodeled and made larger, and IN
few months will have capacity
equal to any meal plant in this
section of the country. The plant
here, which was recently damaged
by fire, has been repaired and is
now being operated night and day.
At an early date this plant will also
be remodeled and enlarged, but the
work cannot be commenced until
the stock of corn on hand has been
worked into meal and feed stuff.

RumOr Advances Doubt
ful Figures as Basis
of Exchange for the
Stock of Consolidated

The status of the proposed con-
solidation of tho Utah Copper COM
pany, Nevada Consolidated company
and the Cumberland Ely Copper com
pany has not changed very materially
and interests identlned with these
various companies say negotiations
are progressing and the merger Will
go through without fail, says the
Boston News Bureau.
Absolute control or the Utah Cop
per company now rests with the Gug-
genheim interests, William h.
Thompson and few other close ac-
sociates, so that control of all the
different companies can be secured.
Final details as to the price at
which the three companies will go
into the combination have not been
definitely decided upon, and possibly
may not be until Daniel Guggenheim
returns from his two months vaca-
ton in Europe.
There have been rumors that the
combination will be effected on the
basis of six shares of Copper mines
stock for one share of Utah, two and
one-half for one of Nevada Consoli-
dated and one and one-half for one
of Cumberland Ely. but we are as
sured that this would not he cor
rect basis of exchange, except posi-
bly, in the case of the Nevada Con-
solidated company. Utah would &C
in better than this. and Cumberland
Ely would also get a better exchange
Three of the largest copper ore con.
centrating mills in the world are now

STORY OF BIG
STORM IS
GRAPHIC

From several of the passengers on
the Southern Pacific train which on
Tuesday was held up in the middle of
Salt Lake by the worst storm In
years. which rendered it dangerous
for the train to either proceed or
return, graphic descriptions of the
event were obtained, but none more
graphic in depicting the grand sight
witnessed than was that of f. s.

rived at Ely City last evening.

did not arrive at the point where the
storm was worst until about O'Clock
yesterday morning said Mr.. Man

and we were informed that We would
have to wait until the storm abated
before we could either proceed or GO
back. We waited and the views
which followed were amply worth
the delay.

passengers were seriously frightened.
The view generally expressed was
that it was an opportunity OF a life

chance.

broke as they struck the top of the
embankment and spray flew high
overhead Finally, as the storm in
creased rather than abated. the tran
