On Streats ‘or WYOMING AND UPPER BASIN STATES WIN RIVER BATTLE GREAT FUTURE PREDIGTED FOR MINE ACTIVITY IN THIS OTATE Nitrate Deposits Offer Large Field; New York Financiers Ready to Back Development. GLENROCK, W; Oct. Oct. 28.—Substantial back- ing of reliable New York houses is available for ,the development of nitrate de- posits in Wyoming if well and sound, according to declarations made befgre a meeting of the Glen- reck Community club yesterday by A.-H. Miller, mining engineer of large experience in mining work in this country and South America. Mr Miller, however, pointed out the need of.a reliable and exhaustive survey and report by capable, conservative men ‘who hold in mind “The abso- lute need in rendering such opin- fons of findings. derived. from per: sonal Inspections that will carry a guardntee of réllability for finan clers.”* “The World's Mineral Resources” formed the subject of Mr. Miller's address with special reference to un- developed mineral-resources through- out the world as compared with those .of Wyoming. Direct com- parison made of Wyoming nitrate deposits on a fertilizer basis was orgued and meastired on a scale with those of Chile, “Even though Chile has been at- tractive to investors in nirtate and mining industries as a result of large deposits, large concessions avallable to promotion companies from the Chilean government, the cheapness of labor and nearness to seaboard shipping,” he stated, “this should not and will not hamper the development and operations of our Wyoming resources for several rea- sons: Wo do not need seaboard shipping for many products, Nitrate for instance will be consumed in the agricultural center of the states, which eliminates the shipping rate so cheap from Chilean ports to!

The action held up the commission’s decision upon the application of James B. Girand and nssocilates to develop a power pr ject on the Diamond Creek site in the Colorado river in Arizona. In making known its decision the commission enunciated a policy with respect to power development on the river and met the request of a ma- jJarity of the basin states to sus- pend operations pending the ratifi- cation of the water compact by the legislatures of Arizona and Califor- nia. The commission urged the states to reach a speedy agreement for a division of the river's waters so that (Continued On Page Ten) RAIL P ROJECT LOOKS GOOD TO N. Y. FINANCIERS Proposition Appears Sound and Feas- ible, They Say on Leaving Casper for Continuation of Inspection “Your project is unquestionably sound. So far I am} very much encouraged over the prospects for financing it,” This was the parting assurance of William E. Hooper, | of Dillon, Read & Co., of New York, before he left Casper this morning on his way- northward over. the route of the proposed North & South railroad. Mr. Hooper made it evident that, unless unexpected dif ficulties are disclosed by the survey between Casper and Miles City, Mont., he will report favorably to his firm. H. W. Bartling of Carman, Fox & Snider, Chicago, was equally optim- istic. fhe need for the road is self- evident,” he declared. “The rest is merely a question of engineering. and mathematics. If the grades nre practicable and it the data we are gathering shows that the tonnage {s sufficient, the road will be built.” Mr. Hooper warned, however, that an early decision could scarcely be expected, and that it might ve months before the final contracts were negotiated. If Dillon, Read & Company decide to finance the con- struction, work probably will begin next year, he Indicated. Mr. Hooper, who played a large part in the reorganization of the Dodge Motor company and the ti- nancing of the seaboard Air Line, remarked that he had been agree- ably surprised at finding Casper a city of such substantial proportions. “I came expecting to see a small western town,” he said. “I never imagined tbat you had such excel- lent hgtels and banks. Both visitors agreed that the pro- posed road {s of paramount {mport- ance as ldge” between the Chi cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and the Union Pacific. Mr. Bartling ven- tured to predict that, important as the outgoing oll shipments would be, the exchange traffic routed over the North and South from other roads would be even larger. He pointed out that its construction was of the utmost importance to the Milwaukee, and volced regret that the financial difficulties under which that line has labored made {t impossible for It to lend any aid to financing the new road. “We haye well-substantiated fig- ures to show that the North and South line, if constructed, will add more than two million annunily to the revenues of the Milwaukee,” he explained, “That would wipe out the deficit under which it has been op- erating and would leave a million dollars profit. If the Milwaukee had not been thrown into difficulties as a result of the war and the competi tion of the Panama canal, I am cer- (Continued On Page Ten) OTHER POINTS IN Casper, with a minimum tempera- ture of seven degrees above zero last night, nevertheless was one of the warmest spots in Wyoming.
