SHELTERS THAT
ARE NOW SILENT
UTAH REDUCTION PLANTS THAT
WE'RE FAMOUS IN THE PAST
NOW STAND AS MONUMENTS
TO EARLIER DAYS.

Some interesting history is on
tanned in a recent issue of the Salt
Lake Tribune concerning the passing
of several smelters down nea Muir
ray, where the American smelter
grinds out its daily out put of bullion
and matte. There ore four old di-
lapidated smelters showing the mark
of the wind and snow which have
beaten about the old ruins for so
many years, but resting serene in
their ildeness. The city of Murray
always has been a popular smelter
site and still retains some of its old
time glory in this respect. However,
only one smelter is engaged in the
refining of ore, while others have
gone long ago.
The Horn Silver smelter started in
the infancy of the town and for a
long time was a mint for the wners.
The smelter, situated in the hollow
west of Murray, was the only ex-
elusive silver smelter this valley has
ever known. Its daily output was
considered exceedingly good, but
owing to a slack in ore, and general
conditions not being up TO expecta-
tiOusf the Shltittl hAdliif 1lOoCd III
good.
Just now there is nothing in evil
dence except a huge smoke stack,
twisted steel and iron TO remind one
that the refinery once stood there.
Along the route of the Oregon
Short Line, near the extreme north
ern limits of Murray, are ruins of
the Hanauer smelter, also one of the
big smelters there in it's time. Its
career was never considered pros
porous, despite the fact that the pay
roll was large, together with the fact
that much ore was treated. Follow
ing valuable improvements and the
installation of new machinery, the
plant began its %uneventful career.
The smelter ran for a number of
years , covering a wide area with
huge piles of Stag and castoff ma
chinery. The property is now owned
by the Gordons and is being used for
almost anything which comes to lie

TO WORK pLACERS.
Comet Company Will Start Oper-
ations on Their Property.

At a recent melting of the direc-
tors of the Comet Placer Mining COM
pany. owning $3.50 acres of placer
ground in Humboldt county. Ne
vada, it was decided to start opera
tions at once. General Manager l.. g.
Burton was ordered to look after the
starting of the work and on future
developments will rest the decision
as to whether the work will be done
by slncing. The company also plac-
ed a block of $4,000 shares of stock
on the market.
F. A. Maonab of Salmon City, Ida,
an old placer miner, has just return
ed from the property, after spending
nearly a month examining 1t. He is
one of the directors of the company.
He declares that If sufficient water
can be developed on the property 1t
will make a wonderful dredging
proposition. He says 1t should be
handled on a large scale. 1t is at
present planned to pipe water from
Cow Creek, five miles southwest OF
the property.

EAST ELY'S NEW
THEATRE To OPEN
COMPANY WILL HAVE NEW
AMUSEMENT HALL READY FOR
THE OPENING ON SEPTEMBER
FIFTH AS PROMISED.

Speaking of the opening of the
| Western Pacific for through passen-
ger service on August %, the San
Francisco Chronicle says that in no
detail of service does the e road
yield an advantage to the old line.
In running time, in rolling stock
and roadbed. in scenic beauty along
the route. and in thoroughness of
service, the new road starts fully
equipped for rivalry with the South
ern Pacific company.
The course that is followed by the
Gould line from Salt Lake City to
San Francisco is somewhat longer
than that of the Southern Pacific,
but the advantages is all with the
former route because of the better
grades. The Western Pacific cross
es the Sierras at a point 1000 feet
lower than the Hartman system.
At Beckwith Pass ii mounts to an
elevation OF 5,11S feet, but it is one
of the feats of modern engineering
that the maximum grade on the
whole line is l per cent. and this per-
centage is made necessary on only
100 miles of the total length of 923
miles.
The average grade for the whole
line is 4 to l per cent. By finding
a pass 1000 feet lower than the old
line the Western Pacific has elimi-
mated another great cause of traffic
blockades-winter SHOWS. The road
follows a course over tae mountains
where the snow has never been very
bad so far as several years obser-
vations have shown. What snow
does thus fall will be handled by the
plows and in consequence there is
not a mile of snowsheds in the
Sierra division of the new line.
When the first passenger train will
run over the line on August % it
will not be In experimental effort at
regular service. The company has
adopted the plan of starting its pas
senger business upon a seasoned line
on which it could arrange its sched-
ule with certainty. The road has
been in actual operation for months.
Freight has been moving regularly
owe the line and the operating Of
ficials know what time can be made
over the various divisions. In proof
of the excellence of the road bed
they have already started out to
make records that the old company
has not been able TO establish in the
past. Shippers will find relief from
the slow deliveries in the new compe-
tition for traffic. Recently a train
load of fruit from Sacramento VAL
ley points was sent to Chicago over
the line of the Western Pacific in
101 hours which easily surpasses any
previous record.
The new line has not started mod
estly with equipment to be battered
and increased as traffic grew, but
even before its schedules are announ-
ed it is a fully equipped transconti-
mental railroad. On it's rails west
of Salt Lake City are IS consolida-
tion locomotives for freight traffic
and SO ten-wheel passenger loco
motives, with the cars that will go
to make up the trains.
When the whistle of a locomotive
drawing a through passenger train
is heard on the Western Pacific long
wharf at Oakland on August %, San
Francisco will no longer be at the
end of a single railroad system. out
in the Southern Pacific country"
