On Pay Roll.
Through Judge John A. Marshall his
morning allowing the motion Of the
United States Smelling, Refining and
Mining company for a modification OK
the decree OF Injunction granted nearly
two years ago by which the company
was restrained from smelling ali ores,
a new era for the company was started &
this morning. In a verbal decision Of
but Il Very few words, Judge Mar
shall allowed the company to smell
all kinds of ores at5the plant at Bing-
ham Junction under certain conditions.
This means that a new $3.50, 600 bag
house. and tlues will be built at the
smelter at once. the numbern of men now
employed will be doubled SO that 200
men will be working, and the capacity
OF the plant will be increased from,
treating 1000 tons of ore a. day, as at
present. to $500 tons a day. III
THE motion was allowed this morn
ing after having been under consid-
Grafton by the court for several days.
Several months ago the United States
company applied for q modification OF
the decree that 1T be allowed to slnelt
the copper sulphlde ores on the same
basis that 1t was allowed to smelt lead
ores. The decree was modified shortly
after5th Injunction was granted which
closed down all the shelters OF the
Salt Lake valley. The first modifica-
( ton allowed the smelling of lead ores
provided that but three fourths of Il {
4 per cent of sulphulic acid Was allowed
to escape through the stack.
BY SECRET PROCESS.
Ever since the first modification sf
the decree was allowed the company
has been smelling from 500 at |, 600 tons,
or ore a, day. By the secret process Ill

When Judge Marshall returned from
Oklahoma several weeks ago, the mo-
tion for u ,noditication OF the decree 81
as to allow the smelling OF all ores ui-
der tho same conditions as the lead
tore was taken UP. For more than a. 4
week a large number Of experts wers
examined as to the conditions they
found at the smelling plant. The farm
ers, who We're the compliments in the
original suit offered no evidence dur
ing the hearing although they wsrn
represented by the attorneys, King q,
Burton. The defense was represented

BAGHOUsE SYSTEM.
BY means of the f3ues the hot gases
from the furnaces are cooled and
through the Introduction of zinc oxide
all of the deliterious matter that was
heretofore expelled into the atmos-
phere is held. The solids are all re-
strained from entering tho air by tho
playhouse system, The arsenic that is
saved by this means has been q good
source OF revenue for the sompany and
within the past SO days 1876 tons of the
refined arsenic has been sold At pres
ent IT is said that the company could
dispose of more than 100 tons of this
bI-prodnct.
The present playhouse system mas cyst
the company iii the neighborhood OF

the expenses saved in other ways Il has
nearly paid for itself in the past Is
months.
At present but 500 men are employed
al the plant as compared with the largo
army that formerly found work at the
sinelter As soon as the plant is com
pleted for the additional ore which will
be sinelted under, the present ,nodia-
cation more than ! 200 men will find erl-
pioyn,ent.
When the news OF the decision reach
ed Bingham Junction this morning
there was considerable celebrating. The
snelter plant announced the decision
with the blowing of whistles and tho
ringing of bells Soon the entire town
was shouting. blowing whistles and
changing the gongs.
I'VE do not feel chesty over the de-
cision,'' said Mama ger Heintz this
morning. 1T shows that ore can be
sn1alted without harming vegetation
and animal life. BY our process all &
the deliterious matter is extracted from
the fumes before they are allowed to
escape.
