Where Wealth is Made. rY MELTING AND MILLING.—The sevenl,foj smelters of Utah employ 2000 men and havea capacity in excess of 3000 tons daily which isbeing unfailingly supplied by the mines. AmericanSmelting & Refining Co., 750 men; Highland Boy, orUtah Con., 250 men; United States, 500 men; Bing-ham Con., 250 men; all being in Salt Lake Yampa, at Bingham, 100 men, the Majestic atMilford, 125 men and the Utah Eastern & CopperCo. in Washington county, 40 men. Improvements,additions and new plants are under way, many to becompleted in 1905, that will increase the present ca-pacity more than five fold. Closely allied with thesmelting industry are the milling propositions forhandling gold ores and for concentration. Of theseevery camp boasts from one to a half dozen and thedemand for suitable treatment processes is neverfully satisfied. 18. Highland Boy Tramway, Bingham. Consolidated-Mercur Mill, Mercur, U. S.
