‘AGAINST SMELTER TRUSTS

Mine Owners of Leadville, Colorado Take the
Initiative--Meeting Called.

A despatch from Leadville, Colo., to
the Salt Lake Tribune says there is a
bitter fight promised in the Cloud City
with the mine owners and managers ar-
rayed on one side, and the smelters on
the other—a fight that will probably in-
clude every shiping mine in the west.

A few days ago a meeting was held in
Denver which was attended hy repre-
sentatives of all the big smelters in the
United States, British Colum via and
Mexico. The session was secret but. it
leaked out that the meeting was held
for the purpose of forming a smelter
trust, the object of which trust was to
divide the territory producing ore so
that there would be no competition on
the price of ores between the smelters,
and to regulate smelting charges.

Asa result of the meeting the mine

oyners sud | managers hurriedly called a

managers and owners in the west to
join them.

Working the Town.

The book agent is very much in evi-
dence in Rossland just now. The last
one toswoop down upon unsuspecting
citizens is a double-action, triple expan-
sion, sort of individual who will gauran- —
tee to sell books where only weeds grow.
It is impossible to guard against his en-
trance for he carries no sample case.
Before the citizen is aware of the fact he
has flashed before him samples which
the agent takes from his pocket. The
citizen enters a positive protest, which
grows feebler and feebler asthe agent
gets in his work and informs the victim
he can have books at his own terms.
No matter what set of books one asked
for the agent can produce samples of
them from his capacious pockets.
