Such was the information given out to-
day by T.. P. Mathewson, manager OF

in charge of the work of installing the
new snelter in Pine canyon. Just what
Mr. Ryail's business will be IN salt
Lake City besides the inspection OF the
work now being done In Tooele county
is Il question. Monday morning he ex-
poets to go to the smelter site to look
over the work.

Middle canyon for the new railroad

",rhere is more life at Tooele than

pie There has been cafe startet
and the merchants are enlarging .helr
stores. They tell me that their business
is increasing At present we must nave
between $50 and 300 men on the pay
roll of the smeltcr company. The town.
site company that recently opene1 up
a new subdivision at Tooele Is doing
good business and from place OF per.
Nhaps 800 persons ait Tooele expect to
sec one of 5000 people in a short time
The first two years the new road to
the slneter site will be operated ny
steam and after that it will be electrl-
fled.
AS to what will DO done with the
proposed sale Of Colorado and the Tins
tic smclter to the Cole Ryan interests.
Mr. Mathewson declares he has no In
formation 1t is understood that the
option on the mine and snelter was
taken to Nj. Ryan with rush, and
that he declared he was In no hurry
to take up tho proposition. When no
comes it is probable that he may yisit
the Tintic district
Heretofore Mr.. Ryan has always de-
voted his time and energy to the cop
per industry. Whether he will now
change and take in the lead and
silver business OF the Tintic smelter Is
one large question. Whether he will
see fit to change his policy. so as to
take in this smelter is something that
remains To be seen.
When the Cole-Ryan people take UP
a proposition it has always been
their policy in The past to have the
people interested in a property, con-
tinne to operate with them. Should
there be any chance of the Colorado
deal going through, with these facts
in view, it is probable that the Knight
Interests would still be strong fac
tor.
