Show ACCORDING to advices advises from boston it is u highly provable pro pable that the guggenheims with their independent smelters shelters sm elters in this country and Al mexico exico may enter the smelter combine 4 w or more pilo properly perly speaking their plants he be Smelt io 0 absorbed by the american refining company which will then absolute ly control the metal market of this country county in addition to which they will be able to r reg 0 9 ore production to suit the trust regard rega less the r mine ne 0 oyne der of the needs or ability of a it was hoped that the guggenheim guggenheims as of 0 0 stay out of the combine that a number depend dependent ept smelters shelters sm elters would go up in this ff WO ern country and that competition would be maintained go 0 o that the producer would not be entirely at the cruel mercy of the trust however is a tempting bait and I 1 if the th guggenheims had any scruples about entering the combine such a sum might cause them to forget them As it is the goodbold good old days when there was rivalry between ore buyers in this are now matters of history only the mining man with one or two carloads of ore has no choice but to let the trust have it at their own figures the controls are made by trust assayers and hobsons choice is the only alternative left this trust business is a severe severe blow a blackeye black eye to legitimate mining and every mining r camp in this western country is is seriously affected by it A protest is made by the trust that its interests and those of th the e producers are identical and inseparable this may be true to a great extent and yet the rights and privileges of the producer are curtailed and abridged 11 until they chev are reduced to the single privilege of aitz take ake your ore away if you do not like our price and treatment the mining review is trusts of every kind the paper is not political in any way but these are our sentiments and will be until this great wron wrong gis is righted THE mining review takes pleasure in calling ino the attention of its readers to the illustrated write up in this issue of the marvelously rich deep greek creek country a region which in the extent and variety of its cannot be surpassed by any section in this western country much has been said in the past of deep creek of its mineral wealth and of the great ledges of silver lead copper and gold ores with which it abounds but it is doubtful if our people at large larbre even faintly realize what the possession of such great wealth means to salt lake city in a feeble way we allude to deep creek and to its mineral possibilities but there are few very few who comprehend the fact that this section means to this city what leadville has been to denver that this land of promise will eventually make of f zion the richest and greatest city in this intermountain region railroads galore have been built into this section on paper but it will not be until necessity drives us to it that a material road will ever enter this country and when it does the wonder with us will be that we were not driven to it sooner that we had not seen the light before A trainload of ore a day from deep creek camps would have a wonderfully stimulating effect upon salt lake trade and commerce this would mean the employment of an army of men in a virgin field the building of new towns in this now isolated section a market for manufactured goods goodr and the enrichment of all who might fortunately obtain a foothold in this locality in a business way or otherwise the deek deck creek country is one of our best but still undeveloped resources we know it now but the truth of the statement will be more forcibly impressed upon us in time to come and the day may not be so very far distant either |
