All o the Salt Lake valley works have increased their capacities and equipped themselves with more economical methods of treatment and are thus tetter prepared to meet compeition than ever before. They are now treating about 25,000 tons of ore per month. A more plentiful supply of lead ores in Colorado and an advance of rates in that State have placed the Utah plants in a better position. Although they complain that charges are at the lowest point possible to permit operation, there seems no disposition to increase the rates. In fact the keen competition over small lots of desirable ores is operating to the great advantage of the producers. The Pennsylvania company is now completing the improvements decided upon last year. Two more Bruckner furnaces are being erected, making five in all, when the smelter will be of modern apequipped with the100best horse-powboiler new A pliances. is also being added. The Germania is adding a roaster for the production of black copper. It will be of twenty tons capacity and will afford facilities for the treatment of copper ores and the matte product of the smelter. The great bulk of the Idaho ores continue to pass through Salt Lake to the Colorado smelters, notwithstanding the Idaho producers would prefer to market them here. A portion of the blame for this condition of affairs is unjustly laid upon the Salt Lake smelters. As a matter of fact. Salt Lake has a very hard row to hoe, and it is rather surprising that her smelter interest have grown to their present large proporThe tions under existing conditions. to $11, against cost of coke here is $8.50 $4 to $7 at Denver. The transportation rate on base bullion from this city to the Missouri river refineries is $10, This against $2 from Denver smelters. severeto sufficient is alone item latter ly handicap the local plants. With an equitable readjustment of rates and cheaper fuel, both of which will be secured in time, the Salt Lake smelters will be fully able to hold their own and handle the Idaho ores. The Conklin and Sandy samplers are now running night and day owing both to the large volume of ore receipts and the frozen condition in which some ores and concentrates reach the market. Base bullion was produced by the semelters last week as follows: Pennsylvania, $23,959; Germania, $30,500; Hanauer, $16,600. Ores were purchased as follows: Bamberger & McMillan, $39,559; Germania, $68,100; Hanauer, $21,700. The Commercial National bank haner dled ores, $2300; bullion, $2500. Walker Bros, received twelve bars of Alice bullion. McCornick & Co., gold bars, $5200; cyanides, rices, The Colorado Situation. Denver Mining Industry: Ore dealers note with some alarm a constant tendency toward higher prices for smelter treatment. They assert that there is plenty of room for another great smelter in Denver. The Colorado smelters that were running last spring at scarcely half their capacity are now in full blast and hardly able to handle all the ore offered them. And this is notwithstanding the fact that most of them have largely increased their plants. An Age of Bridges. The present century, says the Age of Steel, has been an age of bridges. The necessity of easy and swift communication has been more urgent and promising than ever, and engineering science has kept pace in its daring and skill with the requirements of the times.

The list might be definitely extended, but in the instances quoted we see enough of the slate of costs to demonstrate the enormous expenditure of money in modern bridge building.
