THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR INCREASING SUNSET SHELTER. Will Treat Eight Hundred Tons Daily by Next January. By the first of January, 1903, the Sunset smelter at Boundary Falls will be treating 800 tons of ore per day. Albert I. Goodell, the superintendent, who has returned from Montreal and New York, states that during his visit east the Montreal and Boston Copper company, owning the smelter and the Sunset mine, decided to immediately begin the installation of a second furnace. Plans and specifications are being prepared, and the order will be placed in a few days. This will include a new blower, enginer, boiler, etc. Before blowing in the present furnace, Mr. Goodell is steel-jack- etting throughout, thus replacing the iron jacket. He is trying to arrange a freight tariff from the various mining camps to the smelter, and as soon as this is satisfac: torily arranged with the C. P. R. ' the smelter will be olown in. Capt. Harry Johns is spending a few weeks in California, but he is shortly expected home to resume the active management of the Sunset mine. With a second furnace the Sunset smelter will be in a position to handle a large quantity of Republic ore, and as it is expected that the railway from Curlew to Greenwood will be completed early next" year, a large tonnage is expected from that high grade camp.—Greenwood Times. Demand for Copper. Europe will need a vast amount of copper during the next four months because of the increased consumption there and lessened exports from here, and because contracts with copper producers will expire, and then American consi ers must of necessity become large contractors for their wants. We estimate that the consumption for the ensuing four months of this year will be fully 50,000,000 pounds per month in America, and that contracts will be made for export before December, which will aggregate 12,000 to 15,000 tons per month. This should carrV.-'htne price of copper legitimately to 13 or 14 cents per pound in this country, and advance the price in London ;£io to £15 per ton.—Ex. Matrimony Defined. Archbishop Ryan visited a small parish in the mining district of Schuylkill county, for the purpose of administering the sacrament of confirmation. In examining a class he asked one poor, nervous, frightened little girl what matrimony was and she answered that it was " a state of terrible torment, which those who enter it are compelled to undergo for a time to prepare them for a brighter and better world." "No, no," remonstrated the pastor; " that isn't matrimony. That's the definition for purgatory.*' "Leave her alone," said the archbishop, with a twinkle in his eye; " maybe she's right.

The test of the Garretson pyritic smelting furnace, made at Crofton on Saturday, was quite as successful as anticipated by the gentlemen interested. It must be remembered that Saturday's trial of the Garretson furnace was not a "blow in" of the Crofton smelter ; it was simply a test of the working of the new furnace in which the proprietors ofl the Crofton smelter have only such an interest as all practical metallurgists have in a new process which promises to revolutionize the treatment of ores. The furnace did all that its inventors claim for it, and the test would have proved an unqualified success had it not been for an unforseen accident which did not occur in the furnace and for which it was in no way responsible. The Garretson furnace demonstrated that it could smelt wet ore direct from the mine without previous roasting or crushing, with the least possible consumption of fuel, that it could reduce the low grade ore to a very rich matte, and it was on the point of converting the matte into pig copper when the accident referred to intervened. Enough was done, however, to convince all concerned that the furnace is capable of performing all the work claimed for it when it is in perfect running order. The furnace also did a trick which has been held an impossabil- ity by metallurgists—it reduced to matte, without fluxes, low grade ore very heavily charged with bar- ytes. This puts an end to all doubt as to the possibility of smelting the low grade ores of Mount Sicker at a fair profit, and assures the success of copper mining on Vancouver Island.—Victoria Colonist.
