All derends on the outcome OF q meet

the Utah Consolidated II FIVE year
contract to ship its ore, to the Car

sInsltlng company wants Gtah5 G,OnSpil-
dated ore-Tand t55doesnst want il.
Neither do the Guggenheinis--whe
eyer they are mentioned 1t means the
smeiting corporatiotl--want any more
competition in the local smelling field,
Tor that is exactly what it would
amount to II the proposed Tooele coun-.
sty smeltef Is erected According 70
adHiees sent the News from the east,
unless the Utah Consolidated Is CIV
en- a five year contraction terms ac-s
5ceptable to its officials today, negota-
tons with the Guggsnheims viii have
been brought to an end. In that event
Immediate steps Will be taken to build
the suelter, which would begin imme-
diate steps, by taking up the options
and making initial payment on con-
tracts for smoke easements entered
into with owners of something like.
10000 acres OF land in the Vicinity of

stood, expire tomorrow; hence action
today Is q necessity is it would give
4 Manager Risque an extra day to get
out to Tooele to call them in.
The Utah Consolidated company, last
February, closed a one-year contract
With the smelter people and about the
first OF March Shipments Of 500 tons of
copper ore per day We're inaugutnted
from the Highland Boy mine in Bing-
ham, which Is owned by the Utah Con-
solidated. A clause in the contract
permitted the latter to renew the con-
4 tract for an additional year an the
same terms, provided that such notice
was handed to the management OF the
smelling company within the first six
months aGterIthe contract became OPP
eratiye. This wsls done, SO conse-4
gquently, the Utah Consolidated COM
5pany has the right to keep keep on shipping
up to- the minimum of 500 tons of ore
per day to Garfield until March j, 1910.
T In the meantime, the mining company
will. have plenty of time to erect
shelter and place it in commission be-
fore the time expires.
4 If the Utah Consolidated does erect
O. sneiter, it will be as modern as
money can make 1t. By entering the
custom ore smelling business, the COM
pany would be perpetuated and the
small producer would have the adNan-
tage of another formidable competitor
of both the American smelling q re
fining and United states Smelling, Re.
fining & Mining companies.
A prominent producer declared today
that he felt satisfied the Gnggenheins
would do everything In their power to
keep Utah Consolidated out of the conf
petitive feld; that Information had
come to him from q reliable source,
which led himlsto believe that they are
ALREADY v laying plans to get possession
of&ths Utah Consolidated smelter site,
consisting of 1.60D acres of land. WI ei'
rights. etc, with the expectation N. of
some day in the near future transfer
ring their lead smelling operations from
!, Murray to the west side of the Oqnirrh
range, OF ,nountains. S OF couFse, sti ld
{ hes T, don't know that tllis Is absolutely
+ the; case, yet i am confident that there
is something to the story. for, the
American Smelling & Refining company
is not through yet With it's smoke trou-
BILE ut the Murray plant.
