BIG THINGS
FOR SALT LAKE CITY
Henry Spadone Is Greatly In
pressed With Outlook
in Zion.

Henry Spadone, president of the
Gutta Percha and Rubber Manufacture
ing company Of Chicago, arrived in the
city Saturday on his way to San Fran
cisco. and while here made tour of
inspection, in company with Joseph d,
Crossman. of the various mills and
smelters In the vicinity of the city.
Discussing the aspect of the city in
comparison with what it was during r
trip made TO Salt Lake City in 1872 and
again in 1896, Mr.. Spadone said that
while the growth had been marvellous,
he believed that the city was still in
its infancy. The mining industry in
itself was bound to bring greater re-
suits than were known at the present
time, due to the fact that new methods
were continually being brought to the
front which would treat lower grades
OF mineral than at present, This. in
turn. would cause the erection of more
mills, and these in turn would make
their effect felt in the business and
manufacturing lines
Mr. Spadone then spoke regarding the
bustling spirit he noticed in the busl-
ness, the different character of the prin-
cipal buildings, especially the Newhousc
and the Boston buildings; the marked
Improvement noticeable in the street
railway system since he was here be-
fore, and many other phases of improve
ment which were merely signs of great
er things TO come.
