Show MINING AND THE MINING OUTLOOK The Tribune will be forgiven for whatever conceit may crop out In Its reference to the record which has been made during the past year by Utahs mines and its smelters and while the 20000000 mark was not attained bj the output certainly it was approximated approxi-mated so nearly that the old year is at liberty to pocket tho change In the diggings it has been a year oC admirable ad-mirable advancement and what the miner failed to accomplish in 1001 he is equipped for its achievement in 1902 The growth of the smellers and tho introduction In-troduction of more modern devices with which to cheapen the cost of ro ductlon has been in keeping with the economic equipment of the mines and with a little more reciprocity perhaps per-haps the welfare of both can be promoted pro-moted Certainly the assurance which comes from the smelter that Its working work-ing charges shall be reduced the present pres-ent year will Inspire the producer to more energetic effort while the latter will not rail to cheerfully accord what Is due those whoso wealth has been invested In-vested that smelting may be simplifIed and results Improved The traffic managers man-agers of the railways catching the popular inspiration have said that they may bo relied on to do as much for the industry as the smelter We I believe Implicitly in the sincerity of that assurance for It comes from a source that has too much In common with the disciple of tho diggings to betray And thus the new year opens upon a brotherhood that cannot but serve tho miner the smelter and tho railroad in 1902 |
