The furnace stands the : press first rate running out sotuc three tons of line bullion every day. Our smelting companies are doing some good for tho mines as well as themselves, them-selves, although tho merchants and some others Hod a little fault with the siylo of paying that is giving cheeks, made payable in Salt Lake city, which docs net Eoatter tho money in tho district, dis-trict, nor does it help tho district, as i much as if those companies, a3 well as I mining companies, paid the greenbacks I right hero where tho work is done. : Ccrtutnly it is all right; men get their I pay on the clicck, but the system is I the eauso of trouble and fiomo loss to parties interested, and buBiness men ; through the district. It is tho oause , of credit which is always, and evcry-I evcry-I where, a bad system. ! Our mines aro still flourishing. Tho !
