Show TONOPAH'S OUTPUT LEVY ON FURNACES I Local Resources Taxed "by Increased Shipments From the Novada Camp. THE necessity for two moro fur-nacen fur-nacen at the American Smelting and Refining company's plant Is due, perhaps, to no Influence so much as to tho Increased output of the Tonopah rninos. Under tho contract with the varlouH producers, tho American Ameri-can will nxt month ho recolvlnpr 10 per cent more ore than Is coming from that j region today. The Tonopah company, senior, the Montana-Tonopah, the Belmont, Bel-mont, and a cluster of others will begin be-gin to testify to the resources of that camp. To meet their requirements the American Smelting nnd Refining company com-pany is naturally levied on for at least the copacity of two more furnaces. While it does not mean a great deal In the employment of labor to the Stato of Utah. It Is at least gratifying to know that the valley has been mado the destination des-tination of an output that promises to compare favorably with the Comstock In Its most formidable days. John Hays Hammond, the eminent mining expert, who made an exhaustive examination of the region, is authority for tho above etutement, and perhaps no one will be audacious enough to challenge Mr. Hammond's predictions. The coniplotion of tho railroad Into tho camp next month will enable It to assert as-sert iLs merits. It is tindcrstood that the Tonopah company alone has sufficient suf-ficient oro In reserve to monopolize the trafiic facilities of the new road for an extensive period, and that the Montana-Tonopah Montana-Tonopah intends to come forward as a close second for that monopoly. |
