Show ' am SEPARATING AMD REFINING , WORKS. A coned ponJe nee between George Francis Train ami General Ltamuni, r which the crowiled state of our columns lj0; lor some diiyi hai prevented as pub- 1 n' lUliing earlier, will ha found on ihe Dc lirst pae ol' our present i'-sue. Mr. ,la Train take.j ground in favor of makinK Omaha the Swansea of America, to ; whifli we have no ohjeciion. Omaha j 'j'1 ii :m eiiierpriHtntj town that fully ,in mci-ijt ihe prominence it hm gained . tl" a ljuinc.-.H cenire. It ban natural'1'''1 and other advantage: which if ulilizod tl1' will mako it a great city. It can be in ; ,lu direct water communication with -New ( A( Orleans, and through the mouth oi'tho ' MisMippi with Ihe great seaports of the world. lint there U one advan-j lage which it ban not, and which Salt j na Liko has, to aid it in becoming the un Swainea of America. Omaha i a j pr longdistance irom the min- which must supply tlie ore lor such a untlt- . fic, imz and fwptiraLing osLablinhuienL as in j th eontcruplated. Halt Lake i.s in the! centre of what is probably the mot ei- j j tensive and richest mining regit-n in v; t ho world. We havo the vast deposits in of argentilerouH galena of the Cotton- sw woods, Parley's 1'arlc and Kingham; the rich milling rock of Kast canon und Camp Floyd; the mixture of both and 0h the coppor ol'Tintic; the yet undevel- sif oped deposits of Nebo; the galena, copper and tin near Ogden; and all over the country, east, west, north and wouth of this city, where the prospector th has been at work, mineral has been a. found, and in nearly every instance to quantity and quality to pay for work- be ing. ho 8alt Luke is tho point aud tbo ouly aj' point on the continent that can bo r easily mado the Swansea of America, a and which should,lbaTe not only mam- t moth smelting, separating and refining V works, but tho various manufactures which are the proper adjunots of such n establishments. Lead works and other t industries should be called into exist- once; but where is tho capital? Is r; there capital to bo invested anywhere y for such an undertaking? We think si so, and plenty of it; and we look fur it v finding .safe and lucrative investments c in this region, for we cannot think ti that the continued prosperity and I u business interests of so favored a region j ' can long be pormitted to) be jcopardiz- j cd by tho politico-fanatical and fool p ishly bigot ted course of the men com- j tl posing tho "ring" here who havo i Cl already thrown tho mining business of j a (he Territory baek a twelvomonlli. A i a; stoppage for them in their blinded aud y mad career is as Inevitable as that j w calm follows storm; and the advantages j jj of this region will become better known i ct than at present, inviting capital to i st build up flourishing industries. Wo have urged this matter before. ; ' Whenshipmontsoforc first commenced , from this cily, it was sent to San I Francisco, to Newark and to Swansea. Seeing the importance of securing it, ' necessary works for its reduction and ' separation were erected in Chioago and Omaha; but in neither city were they of the capacity that should be con- ) slructcd hero. Lot smelting works be erected in every mining camp -around as quickly as needed ; s let mills bo put up fur work- 1 ing milling rock; and let capital bo i j invited to invest in tho erection of the I t separating and refining works of tho I i continent, to the support of which I e Nevada, Utah and Colorado will aliko j -1 contribute with ores and bullion.
