THE SHELTER COMPANY

and Operate fhe Smeitrr.

hAMA
The trustees Of the Maiden Reduc-
ton Co. have been casting about ioT
: thoroughly competent man to take
charge of the construction and opera
ting Of the smeltcr, and have secured
the services OF Prof. FOss, who was
induced by correspondence to visit
our camp. After looking over the
various galena leads he concluded TO
take hold and rush the smelter TO
completion. This speaks well Tor the
enterprise as the Prof. would never
undertake to complete and operate the
works did he not feel confident IN It's
success.
There still remains a vast amount OF
work TO be done by the trustees OF
this company, and the cooperation OF
the miners who own mines beaHng
smelling ores IS essential to their sue
cess. Go to work on your leads and
see to it that the smelter never stops
for want Of ore.

speech OF Miller ON Free ships.
WASHINGTON, ID. G., May 5.-In the
Senate the shipping bill was taken up,
and Miller, of N. Y, spoke in it's favor.
He said it would be well for the Senate
to lay aside the theory Of fine sounding
phrases aud rhetoric in regard to free
ships and take counsel Of practical men.
Why should we protect our iron,
brass, steel, wool aud everything
else and not protect our ships, the ex.
pense of whose construction consisted of
90 per cent labor. He was willing, If it
would meet the approval of the other
side of the Senate, to see such change
made in the navigation laws as would
admit foreign built ships to American
registry, just as other articles of
foreign manufactures were imported, but
subject to fair rate of duty,
either at SO much per ton, or by an I'D
valorem charged ON the cost Miller
contended that protection of our ship
building interests was indispensable as,
il iron ships could be brought in free,
none would be built here, and in 25
