Work Starting on Sew

Utah circles duly appreciate the hold
ings of the United States Smelling, Re.
filming and Mining company IN Utah
and California but few realize that the
company is the proprietor Of vast
mineral empire down in Mexico. Fred
er1ck Lyon, assistant managing director
OF tins company, accompanied by Su.
penntendcnt Anderson of the Cali
fornia properties, is in the city on his
general roundup of the United States
properties and smelling establishments.
Messrs. Lyon and Anderson have Just
arrived from Mexico. and TO The Trlb
unc yesterday Mr.. Lyon gave some in
terestlng information in regard to these
little known mines.
"In Mexico" said Mr.. Lyon, "tbe
company owns a total of eighty two
mines, properties which have been
worked for their silver ores for the
past three hundred years. We feel
that the future possibilities of these
mines are great, for we now arc getting
splendid results from the SIX mines out
of the total which are under active
development at this time. 1t takes
time and patience TO bring this large
number of mines into the productive
column. and as ] say, we now have
six OF the number finely equipped with
machinery, under extensive developments
work
"'The ore contains silver values main
lv, although there are good gold con
tents as WELL while we find some lead,
copper and zinc. We have Installed two
concentrating plants. and our present
mill capacity is $4,000 IONS of ore per
month. These mills have been max.
ing magnificent saving of values, and
their general efficiency has been
brought up from month 10 month, un-
til about each month is n record one
for the company, We. are now starting
to equip and properly develop other
mines of our holdings in that country
and in spite of the production Of these
cighty-two mines, which reaches the
total of S750,O00,Q00. we expect big
results from our own cndeavor.
Mr.. Lyon states that there are at
least one hundred shafts on this large
gronp of properties. The company owns
a 20,O00-acre ranch, which IS one of
the best in the Republic. while exten-
sve valuab timber lands are among
