ELECTION DOES NOT ANTIC-
IPATE BETTER LEVELS.

Salt Lake, Sept, 30-It is not
altogether a coincidence that Pres
ident Sharp and Managing Director
Holden of the United States Smelt-
ing and Mining Company usually
reach Salt Lake City only a few days
ahead of the duck season. Both adj
mitted Yesterday that their fall visits
west are so timed that they can take
advantage of the opening of the duck
season. as both are members of the
Bear River Club. Monday and Tues
day, however were spent by these
officials in visiting the Bingham
Junction smelter of the company and
in comforting with General Manager
George W. Heintz and other local
officials. Mr.. Sharp was asked Tues
day morning for news about the
United States company. and he said
Mr. Holden and myself have just
visited the mammoth plant of our
company in California, where We have
five furnaces in commission, and all
doing magnificent work. As you al
ready know. at the Bingham Junction
plant We have five furnaces in OPP
GRAFTON. As TO description of the
new process at the Bingham Junction
plant, by which all deleterious sub
stances are removed from the fumes
You Will have TO apply to Mr.. Heintz,
who undoubtedly will give the Salt
Lake papers information relative to
this AT the proper time. We hear
nothing but the best news however,
from our Utah interests.
The metal market? Well, you can
see for yourself that there is a grad
ual recovery in copper and lead
prices. while silver is still low, with
no immediate evidence of its improve
ment in sight The metals will re-
cover slowly, they will improve In
price as the general business condit-
ions of the country improve, but
perhaps We should not expect too
great an advance in anything until
after the election.
Mr.. Holden stated that Salt Lake
and her prosperity looked good TO him
and the fame of this area of good
times here had reached him in the
east Both officials Will be in Utah
for ten days or two weeks.

of the day their devices for moving
prices We're as lacking in force and
success as on preceding days.
The publication of the August net
earnings of the Hartman Pacific rail-
ways midway of the session puts a
different face on the market and
proved an effective supplement TO
the rather futile effort of the traders
to advance prices.
The Union Pacific statement es-
pecially was regarded as evidence
of notable turn for the better, in
the railroad business situation. The
special force of the statement lay
in the fact that its reported gain Of
S6S.13S in net earnings compared
with August of last year was not
secured by such a drastic cut in
operating costs as those in recent
months which Improvement in
earnings comparisons have occurred
Gross earnings themselves are shown
TO he only sS3.04l less than the
preceding August. while the $749,-
$50 cut IN operating costs amounts
to less than S per cent. This de-

On one occasion many years ago
pressman passing pile of notes upon
the table of his neighbor slipped the
top sheet under his blouse without
being observed and carried II with
him into the lavatory, where he was
successful In concealing IL. The
theft was discovered within five
minutes and it was clearly apparent
that he alone could be guilty, all
though the evidence was purely
circumstantial No one saw him
take the money. Terefore he was
not arrested and was never publicly
charged with the crime. But he was
dismissed from the service and he
knew the reason why. The bills were
never recovered He probably de-
stroyed them. as they did not appear
in circulation.
On another occasion eight or ten
years ago a colored messenger whose
business was to haul the money about
on a cart slipped a loose sheet into
his pocket nnobserved while passing
between the printing and the count
ing rooms This theft was also un-
seen. but the responsibility was
fastened upon him. The pile of notes
was complete when II left. the printer
for IL was counted and registered
automatically in the press. When IL
reached the counting room one sheet
was missing and the package had not
been out of the possession of the
colOred messenger in the meantime.
Therefore he alone was responsible,
and as he could not offer any satisfa-
tory explanation he too was dis
missed from the service. but was not
prosecuted because there was no
direct proof of his guilt
