Preliminary steps were taken vesIer-

General Harrison Groy Otis and the
other capitalists interested in the ven
ture met yesterday at the Utah hotel

Of capitalists at their meeting today.
The meeting today Will be attended
by a number of local capitalists. The
local men to be invited will include
several local bankers and the owners OF
some valuable iron deposits in southern
Utah General Otis SAID last night that
the development Of Utah ore bodies
would be discussed in detail today, The
possibility OF establishing smelter TO
treat the iron ore is also scheduled for
consideration.
Practically all Of the iron deposits
in the state not controlled by the gov

the Miner estate and the Colorado Fuel

largely in Washington and Iron coun-
ties, and tho value of the ore bodies is
said TO be very great. 1t was under

Will Await Decision.

When questioned last night Attorney
General Barnes said that, while he was
torney opinion. he would not attempt
TO say that this federal law is uncon-
stitutional until the supreme court had
passed upon it. He declared that since
reading over the new statute he had
serious doubts as TO the authority or
jurisdiction of the government in the
matter.
'The law is based on the theory Of
birds coming under the interstate com
merce act, but | cannot see where flying
birds are interstate property unless they
are shipped on railroad" he said.

Praises Utah Battery.

Lieutenant Bailey was warm IN his
praise of the Utah battery. be said
that his organization was better known
and better appreciated in other SECTIONS
Of the United States than in Utah. He
expressed the hope that Utah would
continue to keep the battery and tho
National Guard organizations up to
their present high standard, In the
event of the Utah battery being called
TO the front he said that Utah would
be expected to raise another battery as
Il reserve force. No trouble would be
experienced in enlisting second bat
terry. he believed.
The lieutenant pointed out that
while this country had very bttle field
artillery in comparison to that OF other
countries, scarcely more than Mexico,
the most serious weakness Of the
artillery was the lack of ammunition.
Hc said that the army had only II per
cent Of the amount experts declared to
be necessary to place the artillery on
war footing.
He said.
The appropriation 10y congress for
ordnance for the artillery depart
ment Is by far too small To provide
enough ammunition TO place this arm
OF the service on a war footing.
There is not ammunition sufficient at
the present time TO I'll the caissons.
The ammunition now on hand is about
II per cent OF the necessary amount,
while with the approprla tionS avail
p ble for ordnance we will have only
l6 per cent of what is needed.

SpOrtsmen Approve.

The new law went into effect Octo-
Der ]. 1t provides federal protection
for the various migratory birds Of tho
country, when not protected by state
laws, At the time of It's passage, Fred
". Chambers, state fish and game com
missioner, said that nearly every com
missioner in the country as we'll as near
ly all sportsmen, were in favor of the
law. Mr.. Chambers said last night he
had heard nothing of the legal objcc-
tions.
D. c. Nowlin, federal inspector in
charge Of enforcement of the law in
Utah district, stated that he had heard
nothing of the supposed unconstitution-
atty Of the act and would continue his
work of enforcement.

AMMUNITION is NEEDED

The Utah battery Of the state militia
will be called to the front early IN the
event Of intervention in Mexico by the
United States government. This is the
opinion of First Lieutenant b. NJ.
Bailey OF the Fifth regiment of field
artillery of the United States army.
Lieutenant Bailey has been detached
from his regiment to inspect the field
artillery Of the militia organizations OF
Utah, Now Mexico and Colorado.
Lieutenant Bailey declined TO com
ment on the likelihood of intervention
other than TO say that the artillery arm
of the service was not prepared Tor a
campaign because of the lack of am
Proper preparation for actual
field duty, he believed, would occupy
six months time.
The training of the members of the
Utah battery, the high standard OF eff
ficieucy of the organization and the
fact that the men are used to high
climate would make certain the calling
OF the Utah battery into service early
should hostilities begin, in the opinion
of the officer.

Discuss Railroad.

The plan for construction OF a rail
road from the ore beds to the proposed
smolter was discussed yesterday and
practically abandoned. Some of the
English capitalists interested in the
financing Of the big corporation have
favored the construction of the rail
road, but the American financiers in
terested in tho project yesterday urged
that operations be confined to the
mining and smelling Of the ore
Judge A. A. Purmap Of Chicago and
G. W. Deuicke Of Chicago arrived in
Salt Lake yesterday TO Join the group
Of capitalists in their conference with
reference to the organization of the
corporation, Thus far the meetings
have been very satisfactory, according
to General Otis and his associates, and
