SAMUEL NEWROUSE
BUILDS SNELTER
Experimental Plant Soon VIII
Be Ready to Demonstrate
Its Merits.
MAY MEAN WONDERS
IN SMELLING FIELD
Mr. Newhouse Says Eastern In
terests Wait for the Ma
tiOnal Election.

Samuel Nownouse. president of the
Boston Consolidated and the New,
house Mines and Smelters companies,
who returned to Salt Lake Tuesday
evening after spending several weeks
in New York, released for the first
time Wednesday morning some details
of the new smelter which he is con
structing close to the Boston Consoli-
dated mill at Garfield. This smelter
will have a capacity of 100 tons of ore
day, and is purely in the nature Of
an experimental plant. Mr.. Ncwhouse
said yesterday:
"Some one must be aggressive
enough 10 exploit new ideas and to de
velop now fields, and as ! have spent
much money along these lines, deem
jt only right that / should make 1t pos
sihlc for the ideas in smelling involved
IN this new plant 10 be carried either
10 success or failure. The plant viii
Involyc the new Fink process, and Ed
ward Fink, the inventor, viii have
charge of the same. If this plant meets
with all our expectations. and we must
view it with something akin to sus-
piciou until its merits are really dem
onstrated, ii will mean revolution
izing of the smelling industry, and viii

'I desire to emphasize that l do not
intend going into the competitive smelt'
Iog business; my efforts are merely for
the benefit of the smelling industry.
Some time ago | talked with the
American Smelling and Refining com
pany's officials relative TO the merits
of the Fink process, and they agreed
with me that il the process was sue
cess it would be very valuable addi-
tiou TO the smelling industry. / look
for the machinery to reach the plant
site this coming week. The foundations
are completed, and the smelter Is sched-
uled to be completed and In operation
by November 10. | am backing this
enterprise with my personal funds.
Mr.. Newhouse was asked about the
condition of the mines of this state
over which he holds control, and he
stated that he had hardly had time to
get into touch with affairs. lie talked
freely, however, about the political SIT
uation, and the effect of the election
on securities. He said:
Everything back cast practically is
at a standstill until after the preslden-
tiel election is over,
"Who is going to be elected2 ~ he

some of these election bets YOU tell nae
about. There is no use III vnturlng, an
opinion now as to the result OF the cleo
tion. In financial circles IL the east
one hears mutterings That in case
Bryan is elected our prosperity will be
DESTROYED. l do not believe this, and
feel that these talkings are not from
the heart, but arc more on the order OF
campaign arguments, II Bryan is
elected, and / feel that he has the best
chance he has ever had. there may be
a temporary shrinkage of securities. but
it viii be momcntary only. as this
country is greater than any one man
and SO is its prosperity greater than
any one man.

that Bryan is unsafe is uniustified. II
no is elected he will give the American
people an administration or, By and for
the people, and no man or corporation
remaining safely within the law need
fear Bryan or bis policies. Personally,
I am not in politics, and speak merely
from the standpoint of an on!ooker, |
shall support the successful candidates,
