SECURES RATES
ON LOW GRADE ORES

That this camp viii soon be sending ore
to the smelters by the trainload every day
is now assured, says the Piche Record.
The Salt Lake route has made the inn
portant announcement that on May y. it
will put into effect a rate of Sl.15 per
ton to Tintic and Salt Lake valley points
on iron ore and fluxes containing pre-
ciOus metal values of not to exceed s. a
ton.
The Inauguration of this rate means q
great deal FOR this district, for the Prince
Consolidated. Day. Mendha and other
mines-which contain very large deposits
of low grade OTeS-cau go to market with
a product that the owners of those mines
nave heretofore preferred to let remain
unbrOken until a more OppOTtune time
but which seems to have arrived.
The big smelling companies of Utah at
/ last realize that they must come to Phoebe
/ for their supply Of flUxes. and these con-
Germs have been very energetic in making
negotiations. offering rates which they
would not consider d all until very recent
4 ~. Hence. with the railroad falling into
/ line with the new rate on this grade of
ores. there appears to be nothing stand
I ing in the way of movement of large ton
mage from this district soon after 1t goes
/ into effect.
/ The Record has been informed that
surveyors in the employ of the salt Lake
Route are due here within the next fort
night for the purpose of locating the pro-
posed extension around the mountain to
/ the Prince Consolidated. Phoebe King Pr
oche Metals. Golden Prince and other
mines in that locality. it is also understood
that the Prince Consolidated is preparing
/ to inaugurate regular shipments of man
ganese ores to the smelters pending the
| building OF the railroad to its property.
While admitting that there is some
thing doing on this score. Superintendent
William LLOYD. when questioned about the
/ matter today. declared that ne was not
quite ready to announce the company s
plans for the future. Nevertheless. il is
] reason ably certain that the Prince is all
J ready for an active campaign of pTOduc-
/ ton.
This is also the case with the Nevada
| Utah company. relative to its Day mine c
Jack Rabbit. and it was business IN
this connection which called Superintend-
ent James P. Gaskill 10 Salt Lake City
I early IN the week where he expects to
i have talk with Earl Eiiers. one Of the
/ members Of the executive committee of
/ the American Smelling & Refining com
pany- Before leaving for the Utah CAPT
tai. Mr. Gsskill stated that the nesotia-
tons would probably result i'm increasing
