G0LCONDA PLANT
SOLD AS JUNK

The big concentration and smelter
OF the Glasgow & Western COM
pany at G lconda, built twenty
years ago at cost of approximate
ly a quarter of a million dollars
and upon which probably as much
more has been expended since in
additions and changes has been sold
for junk. The big plant, represent
ing an enormous expenditure to
Scotch and English capital, is to be
dismantled by the purchaser, the
Sugarman Iron ard Metal company
of San Francisco, and the material
and machinery will be sold on the
ground.
This big junk deal, the largest
ever made in the State was closed
in Salt Lake last week between
Meyer Sugarman Of the purchasing
company and the representative of
the Glasgow & Western. M L
Siegal of Winnemucca took prom
inent part in the deal, upon which
he has been working for some time.
The work Of dismantling the big
plant is to be started at once and
will not be completed for several
months. Included in the sale were a
thirty ton sampling mill, har lily
used at all, and a complete five
stamp quartz mill which was never
set up. These will lie sold at but a
fraction of their cost, together with
a million feet of lumber, two mil
lion brick, one hundred tons of COR
rugated iron, seventeen railroad
ore cars and an enormous amount
of mining and milling machinery.
This sale offers a wonderful op-
portunity for the purchase of cheap
bSling material and milling ma
chlnery.
The sale of the plant is the out
come of a recent shake.up, of the
Glaglow & Western by the Scotch
and English capitalists who have
been putting up money for years
without seeming to have an idea
or care as to how it was heing ex,
pended. 1t is said the iDvestiga,
tion showed that there had been
gross mismanagement of the com
pany's affairs by the chief repre-.
sentatives in the United States. Ir

the Golconda plant, which has beer
idle for years and was never rur
except spasmodically. each time
after useless changes costing
- thouands, was classed as junk and
has been sold as such.

tive of the company which bought
the big plant, was in town Satur

Rumors of a joke, perpetrated by
former Public Printer Samuel B. Dom

developed when Public Printer Cornelius
Ford submitted his report to Congress
that. because he was appointed four days
before the end OF the fiscal year on
June 30, he had to superintend and ap-
prove the compilation Of the compre-
hensive annual report OF the Govern
ment Printing once.
A new building for the Government
Printing once. to cost $4,000 is asked
in the report of Mr.. Ford. to replace
what is known as the "old building at
North Capitol and H streets, which is
termed "a menace. not only to itself. but
to the main building
''The condition of the old building,
says the report, ia such that 1t cannot
be used for anything except storage pur-
pose. This building has been con-
demned on several occasions, and has
been reinforced to prevent the walls
falling out. It Is built entirely Of wood.
with the exception OF the exterior walls.
II a fire should break out and gain any
headway whatever, II would be almost
impossible to save the old building and II
probably would be difficult to save even
the new building"
For Carrying Mails.
A mill carrier system between the Gov
ernment Printing once and the post
office, to cost $4,000, is asked. The sys-
tenn, IL is claimed. would pay for itself
in two years.
1t is recommended that the wages OF
compositors and bookbinders be increased
from fifty to fifty-five cents an hour. and
that bookbinder machine operators be
paid sixty cents instead OF ifty-ive cents.
This would cost the government $S3,0 ,00C

type rooms, is asked.
