Show w NO TRUTH IN IT. Tales to the Effect that the Geriuania Will lose Down Are Not True. Gossip as very busy last night and this morning in circulating t he report that the Germania, one of the oldest if not the very-oldest very-oldest of the smelters doing business here, was about to close down. No cause was assigned as-signed for the suspension of operations by this company, but still the report gained a certain attic tint'of credence and it produced not a little uneasiness. Investigation proves that there is not a bit of foundation for the rumor. The smelter is working now as it has in years past and as it doubtless will for year to come. The rumor must have gained circulation on account of the suspension of work by the refinery belonging to the same company. That branch of the business has been closed down temporarily for reasons best know n to the management, but it will not afL-ct the smelter nor in fact general prosperity, a only a few men were employed em-ployed at any time. |
