a s.ush and door factory in conjunction
with the saw-mill,  and Mr. Bernard
Lequime, who had previously made a
success uf a similar industry at Kelowna, decided to come to Midway to
personally supervise the putting in and
operating ot the factory machinery.
Under his efficient direction the factory
was bas lieen running for several weeks
and orders for doors and sashes from
Greenwood  and   elsewhere bave already been satisfactorily filled.

THK a 0. COPPER COMPANY'S.
SMELTER.
It has lieen decided that the Iiri'isli
Columbia Copper Company's smelter
shall lie placed on Copper Creek, just
above Anaconda) conditionally tlmt
the site chosen cun lie obtained. It is
stated tlmt the land required—or most
of it—is iwued by a syndicate represented hy Mr. Sydney Johnson, 0. E.,
but it is unlikely there will lie any
difficulty in tliis connection, so the
question of site may
disposed of. We hav
the chief consideration in making
choice of this site whs that of proximity to the Mother Laic and other
Boundary Creek mines torn which ore
supplies may lie expected when, next
summer, the smelter shall have lieen
completed] should nothing happen to
prevent so desirable a consummation.
We sincerely congratulate our neighbors up the creek on this forward step.
Next to seeing the smelter at Midway
we would rather see it in the locality
that present conditions appear to favor
most - at Anaconda.
The Greenwood "Miner," with that
absence of narrowness that it is setting
a good example iu, remind."' its readers
that the B. C. Coppei Coinpaiiy "is not
the only pebble on the beach," so we at
Midwav may well take heart and look
for our turn coming hefore very long.
Even supposing the combined treatment capacity of the two smelters
already assured for the Boundary
country) he within a year from date
1500 tons per diem—and this appears
to be a liberal capacity margin to allow- within that time—either much
more smelting accommodation will
have soon to be provided or the oft-
repeated statement that the biggest
mines on this continent will he in this
district will lie found to lie a gross
exaggeration. If the mines of the
Boundary country are next year to
prove even big ones, putting aside the
possibility of their developing into
"the biggest on the continent," their
aggregate output of ore thai it will
pay to smelt will surely considerably
exceed loOOor3000 tons a day and so re
quire larger smelting facilities than
those for which preparation is now
being made, allowing for additions
ami extensions in prospect,
Another fact tu keep in mind is the
importance generally placed upon the
avoidance of an up-hill haul.   Apparently the fact is being ignored that
for ores coming from points south of
Boundary Falls—except possibly from
some Central camp properties— there
will lie an uphill haul if they be taken
iipBoundaryl reekand so past Midway.
This applies to ores and concentrates
coming this way trom  Republic, Meyers Creek, the American Okanogan,
Camp McKinney and   the numerous
mining camps on the several tributaries of the main Kettle River coining in
above  Rock  Creek.   Graham's camp
situate just above Midway must also
be regarded as a probable contributor
of ores to a local smelter.    There is
therefore good reason to conclude that
the establishment of a  large custom
siuelterat Vlidway at no distant date
is a reasonable probability,
for petty theft of the individual referred to was the unacknowledged
appropriation of some information re
specting the Boundary Falls water
power which THB ADVANCE took SOfflS
trouble to obtain. Some people bave
