FREEDOM FROM FUMES.
The building Of a city has been plan
ned to the last detail. Prominent among
the salt Lake investors who oontem-
plate extensive operations IN the new
| city is Frank McGurrin Of the Salt
Lake Security e. Trust company. He
proposes 90 build a hotel and several
other structures the approximate cost
contemplated reaching $4,000.
The building Of the new smolter Mt
TOoele, which was the frst step made IA
the plans now approaching consumma-
ton. Is one Of the important features
OF tho entire scheme. This Is 10 BE-
constructed above the new city and az
an elevation that assures the city OF
no unpleasant consequences from It's
near proximity, the prevailing winds
carrying the fumes and gases with
their accompanying mineral deposits
Far into the higher mountains whore no
cultivated areas may be Affected

win be down from Butte in timo 10
