Copper Ore Can be Treated at a Low Figure. A new invention in smelting that Las liable to revolutionize the president method of treating ore has been used and found sufficient, says the Spokane Chronicle. Fred Parker, an attorney of North Yakima, was in the city yesterday. In speaking to a Chronicle reporter concerning the Hydro Smelting & Refining Company, of Tacoma, in which he is interested, he said : "We have been working on this experiment for the past five or six years, and have succeeded in getting down to a point where we can use it commercially. We have a plant erected at West Seattle with a capacity of 20 tons, Where we have been making our experiments. One of the chief features of the smelter is that we burn oil, the oil converted into gas by a method protected by a patent. This gives a peculiar white heat that does its work well. We are able to secure 4,400 degrees of heat and can control it any place above 100 degrees. SAVED FULL ASSAY VALUE. " We have recently made a smelter run of five tons of oro, purchased from the Tacoma smelter at the ilue of the ore. This value per cent, copper and other hat are unimportant. Under the Tacoma process the ore must be roasted to get rid of the sulphur before smelting. The values then saved are about 80 per cent, and a 40 per cent, copper matte. This shows the success of our plan, when we can save more than the assay value. The high grade copper matte is also in demand as more easily treated. ' We have spent between $35,- 000 and $40,000 in experimenting, and have now reached the place here we know we have something of great value. We have recently purchased 175 tons of ore from Tex- ada Island, and the consignment is about due at Seattle. About April 15 we expect to start the smelter on a steady run. CAN TREAT ORE FOR $2.50 PER TON "This is the first time I have said anything about the new smelt er for publication, but I am so thoroughly convinced of its worth that I will put in a custom smelter, after the make of the one we have in Seattle, on Camp creek in the Cle Elum district. I am putting my own money into the smelter, I am interested in a number of properties there, and besides treating the ore from them will take custom ore. The smelter will start with a capacity of 50 tons per day. There is one great advantage the new system has shown over the ;d besides the saving of values, id that is the cheapness of smelt- ig. The fuel used by our process I ill cost but 50 cents per ton, while the other expenses will be about the same as in an ordinary smelter. We will be able^.to treat ore for $2.50 per ton. We should be glad to get ore ' from this side of the mountains, id later on will make an endeavor 1 do so. Bob Young, a mining engineer of Tacoma, is president of the company ; A. W. Catton of Seattle is vice-president and manager, and B. Maclean is secretary." "MINES AEE MADE, NOT POUND' Ossasionally, as the saying is, a mine pays from the "grass roots." This is a very rare exception, says the Black Hills Mining Review. The records of the largest mines of today all show that many thousands, and in some cases, millions of dollars were expended for machinery and labor to open up the ore bodies, sufficiently for their economical and profitable working, before the mines paid expenses and dividends. Everyone knows that time and money must also be put into large undertakings in e**, other business, bef can be expected ; a so in mining. Bt* profits in mining greater than the pr er business. THE TBTJE MOTIVE OF TEADES UNIONS. vas given regardless of member- hip to their order, and whether the ick had money or not to pay for ittendance. We are glad to see that the county commissioners have donated script warrants of $1,000 to reimburse the union for caring for and burying the dead who were not members of the union. The warrant was drawn to J. L. Butler, who cashed it at 85 cents, and in addition drew a personal check for $1,000 and presented it as a gift to the union. The work ofthe union can be appreciated by the fact that they disbursed over $3,000 in caring for the sick and burying the dead. The transactions reflect the greatest credit on each and every one connected with them.—Mining Reporter. ww?m C3 Meat Appearing Men Are not always those with the Fattest Bank Accounts.
