The Rio Grand Republican is mis-
taken in the superstition that jealousy
or spite actuated the late prediction of
this paper that the e smelter in the
Organs would fall short of expectations
and that the Socorro plant will soon
be doing the reduction work of the
camp just the same as if the Organ
smelter was not in existence. The
RANGE has the kindliest feelings for
the Organs and wishes them all the
good in the wOri !. The editor has per.
sonal acquaintance with most Of the
pioneer men of the camp and would be
glad to see them have a successful
smelter of their own but yet be doubts
greatly if they succeed. Not but what
the RANGE thinks that the Organ smell
ter will run all right and do its work
satisfactorily in every respect but one,
for there is no eason why 1t should not
If well handled. but 1t is the history of all
mining countries and nearly every dis.
trict OF Colorado has furnished an illus.
tratIye example that small plants can
not compete with fairly accessible large
ones in the net returns given the ore
This is one particular in which the
RANGE expects the Organ and any
other small smelter at all adjacent tc
Socorro to fail. The big plant will pay
so much more for ore that the small
one cannot compete. This is history
and history repeats itself. The Repub
Iican will please disabuse its mind OF
the idea that mining is the only re
source possessed by the Black Range
a more magnificent stock country ex
jsts no place than here and it is fast
icing occupied by lowing herds. Sew
eral thousand boyines are already here
and more are coming in daily. A para
disc for mining and live stock, what
country could ask more.
