Will Build New
Smelter at Ely

ELY, New, Dec. 1o.-Thomas F.
Cole Of the Copper Mines company
states that his concern will build a
new smelter and the plant would
include the last word in concentra-
ton and treatment of copper ores.
The plans include ARRANGEMENTS for
the treatment of carbonate ores
which have been neglected in this
district, but which have proven a
success in Arizona.
The residents of this district are
now inclined to pay much attention
to the request of Manager Bray in
regard to signing the agreements of
smoke easement articles as there
are no agricultural lands to be in
jured by the fumes of the smelter.
The eastern stockholders who are
advancing the money for the smell
ter consider the agreements of the
utmost importance. They have III
mind the troubles in Shasta county,
California, between the farmers and
miners, which have resulted in the
closing down of two or three large
plants and also of the difficulties
in Montana.

type Of road building machinery can
be found. The county now has more
than 60 miles Of f1rst-class public
