500 GETTING READY

That the 500 is getting ready to
start work on it's 100000 depot in

few days surveying the site, on North
Main street. While the plans have
not been seen by local parties, it is
understood that the depot will be
constructed in such way that hacks.
buses, etc., will enter from Main

MONEY IS PASSING
IN THE ALTA DEAL
Second Payments Are Made to
Salt Lakers Owning Alta
Properties.

There was an apparently authentic
rumor going the rounds Wednesday to
| the effect that one more important step
had been taken in the matter OF the
Alta mining property consolidation
backed by strong Michigan and Utah in
forests. This was nothing less than cash
payments on certain groups OF claims
involved, which makes tho second cash
payment, and with others of like gem
orous proportions being arranged for the
near future.
Those who have opportunities for find
Ing things out assert that two payments
were made on Tuesday last TO Salt Lake
owners, and they point TO this as the
most conclusive proof that the eastern
chd or the deal means business. The deal
involves considerably over 1000. 900. and
there is being given the Michigan crowd
the credit for bringing the deal to its
existing strong position during a nnan-
clal period when the ma jority of people
would hesitate TO attempt any such
transaction.
II proves TO the satisfaction of every
one Interested that the interests behind
the deal are not only strong financIaly
but that their experts have made such
favorable reports upon the various prop
critics that nothing but a successful con
summation is to be considered Not ONLY
are powerful Michigan people interested.
but the deal has spread across the At
lantic 10 London, Paris. Amsterdam and
one other European city. This merger
when put through will constitute one Of
t.le most powerful organi2at tions within

Consolidated Mining company. held In
Jersey City today. resolved itself into
an extended discussion between President
Urban IL. Brouehton and some opposing.
stockholders. during which President
BroughtoD gave a fun explanation OF
many points. Previous Ia the discussion
Mr.. Broughton made a statement TO the
stockholders In regard to the opposition
that has been made 10 the present man
agemcnt.
In the statement he said
Prior 10 1905 the only adverse crlti-
cism that had been made upon the man
agement was that il did not pay larger
dividends out OF its profits. The company
earned such large profits in the wears 1905
and 1906 tina: the price OF the stock was
carried beyond reason Al the end OF
1907 the company's smclter ceased TO op-
crate and the management was confront
ed with the problem Of shutting down its
mines and spending SO. 900. 600 on new
smelter or making a contract with the
Garfield Smelling company"
Mr.. Broughton referred To the condition
OF the property when he hrst took hold
of II ten Years ago. and recited what had
been done under his management. He
said that no mining company had paid
a iarGcr interest on It's capitalization than
