1MELTER.

We learn that Mr.. Brown has
nearly completed his arrangements
fer the erection OF q smelter at King.
man. A smelter at Kipgman, wonld.
in our opinion, be Of great benefit to
that town, to the surrounding coun
try and to the rsilrosd company
The latter would have an increase Of
its carrying trade TO KiDgmsp, and
no great decrease in its frigntage
from that point. II the ore in the
lodes around Kibgman was Of q uni
formly high grade, it would be plain
that it would be TO the advantage OF
the road that no smelter should be
erected at Kingmsn, as in 'taat case
the rosd would be sure Of the
profit on the transportation Of tbs
orc to the smslters outside, but there
ID vast. iDcslcuisble quantity Of ore
here, Of grade which will not bear
transportation bot which will pay
richly II worked here, and which will
remain here and never be shipped.
The road will have q heavier freigLt-
age on fuel and HuIes to tho sneltsr.
than it has now on the high grade
ore selected and sent from here; and
the transportation of the bullion
counts for something. Besides tbi.
the fact that low grade ore could be-
proftably worked here would give
an impetus to mining, aud ope
smslter would be but the beginning
and would be followed by the sret-
tion OF others. One smelter erected
st Kingmsn insures IN active town
there with the certaintv of increase
Of population and business. We
wish the enterprise every success
and believe that it TO the interest
Of the railroad to aid 1t. by giving II
every advantage Of special rates thai
can be fairly given.
