The new smelter at Kingston has
been running for a couple Of weeks
and according TO all accounts is a grand
success. This rrjoiceth all the people
throughout the rauge. The plant has
a capacity of sixty tons and was erect
ed by the owners of the Iron King
mine for the especial purpose OF work
ing their W ores.
Mr.. Castle has perfected arrange
ments which enables him TO purchase
shipping ores whether in large or small
quantities at the rates paid by Hills
Argo works in Colorado. lie can han
die lots OF a ton or two just as easily
rs a carload. The convenience to the
mine owners of the range of this ar.
range nent will readily he seen aud APP
prec,ated.
ii. n. Castle returned from his Colo.
RADIO trip ON Mondays coach ana the
man whom he had secured To operate
the concentration one day later. W. II.
DE Courcy has had four years of ex-
perience managing the Bassick con-
centrat0r at Rusita, Colorado, and he
will operate the Chloride works proper.
Iy or he will be able 70 state the reason
why.
Mr.. 0ber, the Chloride baker has now
on hand the finest stock of candies ever
opened in Chloride. He proposes from
this time OF to be always able to sup
plv the public with fiuit and cOnfec.
tionery at reasonable prices. Oranges,
lemons, nuts and candies of both home
aud foreign manufacture are now to
be had at his bake shop. This institu.
ton supplies a long felt want in Chic
ride and there is nc doubt that ODER
will secure liberal patronage.
Fulton and Traub sunk the shaft on
the MonteZuma, on Chloride creek, to
Il depth of fifty feet. There WAS little
change IN the looks of the property,
the ore still being galena in quartz and
porphyry gangue. They have given it
a lest until next year and are engaged
in running a drift in on the ledge of
the Alta to tap the present workings.
This drift they nov have thirty-fve
feet long and IT is required to be a hun
died feet or more To make the con-
Hection desired. These gentlemen
have bushels of pluck and industry
and deserve TO win fortunes.
The people of the Black range are
much pleased with those Of the APP
pointments to Office in Sierra county
with which they are familiar, viz:
Messrs. Fest and Hopewell as com
missioners and DR.. Haskell as school
superintendent. These men will not
allow the county's interests to suffer
in their hands and no wiser selections
could possibly have been made. II the
remainder of tie appointments are
equally admirable the welfare of the
county is safe for the remainder of the
year, anyhow.
In January last The father and only
living parent of NJ. II. Lundy passed
to his final resting place leaving a pro.
