INTERNATIONAL COMPANY TO
LOCK HORNS WITH GREAT
ouceENHEiM CORPORATION.
MILLIONS vs.. MILLIONS
CONFERENCE OF INTERNATIONAL
IN REGARD TO PLACING Smell
TIERS IN COLORADO.

Denver.-The Republican Tuesday
morning prints the following:
Dennis Sheedy, vice president and
general manager of the International
Smelling and Refining Company. left
Denver last week for New York City.
There he will meet and confer with
Thomas F. Ryan. president of the
company, and his eastern associates.
Inside the present week it is expected
that the whole party under the guild
ance and escort of Mr.. Sheedy, will re-
turn to Colorado, where they will
make an exhaustive study of the
smelling situation with view to plac-
ing two and possibly three new smell
ters In the state in competition with
the American Smelling and Refining
Company, the Guggenheim corpora
tion, which now holds a practical
monopoly OF the trade in Colorado.
Should the decision be favorable to
the location Of smelters here, the an
nouncement of the arrangement will
be virtually the firing of the first gun
in an industrial battle between the
two giant corporations whose only
tion of one by the other.
In other districts the International
has been gradually preparing its plans
for the war and slowly but surely in
trenching itself in the very heart of
the enemy's ground. This has been
true in Nevada, particularly, where the
new corporation controls the Giroux
Consolidated mining properties, which
lie between the Nevada Consolidated
and the Cumberland Ely. two Of the
Guggenheim's chief producers. In New
Jersey. the International has also pur-
chased the Raritan smelters from the
United Metals and based on this pur-
chase a rumor has already been float
ed that the International will go on a
semi-annual dividend basis Of from
five tc six per cent. in May or June.
Other purchases have been made in
Old Mexico and other mining districts.
The two corporations that are in
volved belong to capitalists who rank
among the richest in the world. On
one side, that of the American Smelt-
ing and Refining Company. stand the
allied Guggenheim interests with all
their millions of capital. On the other.
the International, are arrayed Thomas
F. Ryan, the wealth of the Amalga-
mated Copper corporation. John D.
Rockefeller, Cole and others.
The selection of Colorado as one of
the chief points OF attack by the Inter
national, is owing to the fact that in
this state are situated some of the
richest mining camps in the world,
and the smelling business that is de-
rived therefrom yearly mounts into
hundreds Of thousands, sufficient to
keep several independent corpora
tions in good dividends for an indefi-
mite time. lt
The exact date Of the arrival Of the
International magnates In this city Is
not known, although 1t is understood
that 1t will be the latter part Of next
week. The burden of their decision in
regard to entering Colorado will rest
upon Mr.. Sheedy, who was at one time
. director of the American Smelling
and Refining Company. and who is
recognized ss one Of the leading mem
bers Of the industry in the world.
