Show Smelting Ores. Arthur Chanutj. representing the Globe smelting company of Denver, is in the city seeking a corner on the output, out-put, and says there is room enough for all of those whoi desire to enter the race. In an interview with the representatives repre-sentatives of ' these columns, Mr. Chanute, who has been identified with the mining industry of Colorado for a decade at least, stated that in none of the countries embraced in his circuit had he found a more prosperous condition condi-tion of affairs than exists "right hero in Utah." "And what relation docs Utah bear to tho smelting industry of Colorado?" chimed the interviewer. "To bo candid with you," replied Mr. Chanute, "the smelters of Colorado are largely dependent on the resources of Utah. You must understand that in tho last few years the complexion of Colorado ores has changed very materially aud that we now have a refractory re-fractory class with which to deal. To handle them successfully requires a largo amount of lead and 'the fact that the Maid of Erin and other lead producers pro-ducers has curtailed its output has forced us to Utah." Mr. Chanute states that large volumes of Coloradp capital are seeking investment invest-ment in Utah, aud that among all the countries bidding for patronage this territory takes the lead. He predicts that in another five years Salt Lake City will occupy the samo relation to the mining industry that does Denver, and predicts a time when Utah will be at tne head of tho list. Mr. Chanute departs de-parts for Denver this evening, but will make frequent visits tj the territory during the season. |
