tanks and vats, and is crossed by numer-
Gus pipes which convey steam, water and
chemicals for the various operations here
performed. In this house the precious
metals are extracted and brought into the
refined condition in which they are ship
ped to the mint. The copper has to pass
down to another building called the rein-
cry, 120x40 feet, in which it has once
more to pass through furnaces, in which
it is melted down, ten tons at time, to
be taken out by sturdy men with iron la
dies and poured into moulds, from which
it is taken in form of commercial ingots.
1t IS then packed into barrels and shipped.
All the buildings described are of a
very substantial nature, with brick walls
and columns of iron, SO as to give plenty
of room and light to the workmen engaged
in the various operations. Further to the
north is another house, in which at the
time of the reporters visit blast furnace
was being erected, which will serve for
the purpose of smelling large quantities
of the poorest class of copper ores by
means of powerful air blast. 1t is some
what similar to a cupola used in iron
works. Seeing so many furnaces, and
hearing the hum of the powerful draft
which urges on the numerous fires, the
visitor is astonished to find that none of
the furnaces have chimney, hut on closer
inspection he observes that the products
of combustion are swallowed by under
ground flues, thousands of feet long,
?:hich all lead to the bottom of large
chimney, 12O feet high and standing
quite distance apart from any Of the
buildings. In order to supply the works
with an adequate amount of water large
reservoir few acres in area has been con-
structed, and in small house adjoining
it pair of good sized plunger pumps,
connected with an engine by means of a
wire rope, are working with steady thump
and force the water to the works above. The
works have been in continuous operation
from the time when their construction
was completed.

Miner: A certain element of the

Chinaln;ln Killed.

Herald: Sunday fatal accident oc-
Cured on lower Main street. Some
Cinnamon have recently rented the
building on the corner of Seventh
avenue and north Main street, formerly
occupied by S. Hinchcliff, the shoemak-
er, and have been fitting up the place
for laundry. Among other prepar-
ations they tunneled under Main street
to put in sewer pipe to drain into the
ditch at Lawrence street. Yesterday
they had the tunnel almost completed
and one unfortunate heather was dele
gated to finish the job. While working
at the Lawrence street end of the drift
and about six feet below the surface
the ground caved in and buried him in
its fall. A party of rescuers went to
work after the accident occurred to dig
out their fellow workmen, but when
the dirt was removed they found only
the lifeless body OF the poor Chinaman,
who had doubtless been smothered to
death. The remains were properly cared
for and were inferred to-day in the Chi
nese burying ground.

Park Paragraphs.

Lieut.. Col. O. Nykvist and Capt. Sylon,
of the army of Norway, from Chr,stiana,
who were escorted through Yellowstone
park last October by Lieut.. w. G. Rivers,
of troop NJ, First Cavaly, and Peter Mel
son, the park tclephonist, have sent their
escorts two sets of snow shoes, made in
Norway, of the finest mountain white ash.
The sole Is lined with seal skin and the
heel-piece is of reindeer skin. They are
the finest snow shoes ever used in the
Rockies.
David Dobson has carried the Cooke
City mail all winter without missing a
service. He has snow -shoed over 1000
miles. He has been ow-blind, lame in
one leg, had his nose frozen, lost over
shoes and gloves repeatedly; but in spite
of all that he never fails to deliver the
mail.
Horace F. Brown, of Helena, went all
over the Grand Terraces, accompanied by
w. j. Henderson, ON Sunday 18th. He
says the terraces in winter arc thousand
times more beautiful than in summer.
The Narrow Gauge, White Elephant, aud
Art terraces and Cupid's cave are re-
splendant in their colors, and the back
ground of snow only adds to their beauty,
and the labor required to reach them en-
hances the value of all that is seen in
these wondrous works of nature. Mr..
Brown, accompanied by his wife and Miss
Birdie Brown, with quite party from
Gardner, are to ascend Terrace mountain
on Sunday 25th. If possible, they will
not only take in the grand terraces, but
will visit Jewelled cave, and see the most
beautiful pedestal of crystalline rock that
has ever been seen as the work of unity
of forces acting through matter, water and
heat.
Elwood Hofer and Peter Henderson
are in search of small band of buffalo
that make their headquarters near the
Twin Buttes, west of Hcll's Half Acre.
Mr.. Hofer will secure, if possible,
photograph of these last Of their tribe for
the Forest and Stream. Peter Nelson saw
them once early IN the winter and Mr..
Hofer will sleep on their trail, if he finds
it, until he secures their portraits, If it
takes all the winter that remains. On the
25th of last May your correspondent got
on their trail at the Silver Globe basin.
The droppings were fresh and foot prints
had been made that day. There were seven
; foot prints of which three were those of
calves.
When south wind OF the chinook var
iety comes the snow will soon leave the
mountains. Peter Nelson says there is
not half what there was last winter.
The Yellowstone river will keep within
banks next summer.
S. H. Webster, of Michigan, writes
from San Francisco that he will go the
round of the National Park IN April, on
his way home, if the thing is possible.
England bOasted as first tourists for the
last three years. 1t Will be source of
pride if Michigan leads IN 1858.

The Advantages of Complete Reduction
Works.

The advantages Oh compete NeuuCUIOn
Works.
The advantages to be derived from a
smelling plant may he arrived at from the
following, which shows only the labor
necessary to operate plant for the re-
duction of one ore-coppcr: The works
of the Block & Hartmann Smelling
company are located at the village of
New Swansea, near Bellevlllc, ILL.,, about
twelve miles from st. Louis. The copper
ores treated at the works are obtained
from Montana, Colorado, Arizona, New
Mexico, Wyoming, ETC.; in fact from al
most every one Of the western states and
territories. Almost all auriferous aid ar
gentiferous copper ores exported from
Mexico to the United States come to
New Swansea.
1t will no doubt astonish many people
to learn that at present no copper is re-
fined west of the Mississippi river. Only
such copper ores as contain large
amount of precious metals as gold and
silver, can be treated with advantage out
west The copper is, however, only sep
aratcd in the state block copper, which is
shipped east in order to be refined. The
principal copper works in the United
States ore located at New York, Newark,
N. j.; Bergen Point, N. j.; Baltimore and
Boston, AS has already been mentioned,
large quantities of copper ores are also
sent abroad. We are informed by good
authority that the copper ores sent yearly
to Swansea, England. even from single
mine, for instance the Anaconda, in Butte
Mont, has already amounted to many
thousand TONS The works proper con

various structures of less Importance are
attached. First is the engine and boiler

pose of keeping record OF these assess
ments. This record will be very valua-
BILE, as l shall explain"
"After the contractor has done his
work l furnish him with list of the as
sessments upon the property and
he then collects the amounts
due him. Within thirty days,
however, he must file with this Office the
account of the assessments with me, and
those unpaid at that time become liens
upon the property and are collectahe in
the same manner as any other lien upon
property. If he fails to file this state
ment with me inside of thirty days, he
has no lien upon the property, and thus,
you see, this Office will become one of re-
cord. Searchers of records will visit this
Office to find whether there is an unpaid
street assessment lien upon the property,
and under the Vrooman Act the Street
Superintendent's office becomes one OF
great Importance"
In answer to question as to whether
the acts of the Council under the City
Council after the Vrooman act was
passed were legal, General Baldwin
said: "That is matter for legal de-
cision and can only be determined by a
legal mind. Los Angeles was rather
slow about operating under the Vroo-
man act and l very much doubt it the
work done on the streets since the Vroo-
man act became law in 1885, was legal.
The Vrooman act was general State
law and after its passage superseded all
other laws in relation to street matters
and it is my opinion that no city charter
in the State could be used in preference
to it. So it may be with the new Char
ter being proposed. The street law as
provided in it will be special law fol
this city and the question will be wheth
er special law will take precedence
over general law. This is question
for the Freeholders to discuss before they
finish the Charter they are working at.
"There are other matters" said Gen
Baldwin, (Which should be considered
! in connection with this office. The ordi
nances in relation to the tearing up o
streets and the laying of sewers anC
water pipes should be somewhat modi
fed. Under the present ordinances
those who desire to tear up the streets
have to visit several offices and file bonds
or deposit money in another Office and il
takes them one-half a day to obtain g
permit and one-half a day and great
deal of walking to get their deposit back
This Office is under heavy bonds and 1 dc
not see why those who desire to work or
or under the streets should not make
their deposits directly with me and thus
save themselves great deal of trouble

THE LUCAS TRIAL.
Elton's Testimony About the Detec-
tlve,s Queer Ways.

In the trial yesterday of Detective
Lucas for receiving stolen goods, the day
was spent in the cross-examination Of
Elton. The defence went over every de.
tail of his story, probing into the
minutest particulars. Toward the end
of the afternoon it was evident that the
long strain was telling upon him, and
that the attorneys could surprise him
into saying great many contradictory
things. He continues to hold pretty
firmly to the main features OF his story
That he worked for Lucas and divided
the profits of his thievery with him, and
that the stolen articles came into Lucas's
possession, and Lucas voluntarily &C
cepted them, knowing that they were
stolen. One creditable thing about
Elton is the effort that he makes to con.
ceal the names of people who have
befriended him, and whom he ad-
mits he has disgraced. The episode
of the letter which Elton declares Lucas
sent to Sheriff Hawkins, came up yester-
day for the first time in the course of the
trial. This is the letter which Elton
says contained a proposition from Lucas
that he should refuse to testify against
him in this case and that in return the
detective should exert himselft to gain the
young.man's pardon from thes esGovernor.
Elton declared that Hawkins showed
him this letter, but when he undertook
to read it aloud to some guards who
were in attendance, the Sheriff snatched
it away. Elton has told too many lies
for his testimony to have much weight
with the jury, but if the truth could be
sifted out of his romancing it would
throw good deal of light on the singu-
lar position in which Detective Lucas was
placed when the police made their de.
scent on his establishment and found
Elton's plunder concealed there. This is
the matter about which there is nc
doubt.

DIR. EVANS AT THE HOLLENBECK.
His wonderful III Not miraculous
Cnrps.

The Hollenbeck Hotel continues to be the
scene of Dr. Evans wonderful cures, and daily

he has been persuaded to prolong his stay in
this city for thirty t30l days longer.
Mr.. George Sell, residing in Pomona, CAL,
was brought to DR.. Evans at the Hollenbeck
Hoel two weeks ago a complete cripple from
rheumatism; also a sufferer from catarih and
deafness He remained in the city but one
week under the treatment of DR.. Evans, when
he was sent home well man. His case was of
six years standing, and he had not only been
treated to the best medical skill, but had visited
the various springs without relief. Mr..
George Bell, residing on Prudent street,
between College.and Exchange streets (no num-
ber) had suffered for years from a sore limb
when had SO effected the bone thst all his ply.
sicians advised either amputation or the removal
of the bone as the only cure. Dr. Evans cured him
by few magnetic treatments, and he can now
walk on his limb as well as he ever could and
is again engaged in his usual occupation a well
man.
Mrs NJ. C. Toomy, corner Hayes and HofP

mer occupation
Mrs LIE Neve Foster, residing at 6 Diamond
street. was a constant sufferer from neuralgia
of the head and eye, which had almost de-
stroyed her sight. DR.. Evans cured her by
few magnetic treatments after the best physi-
clans had failed. Scores of similar cases, in
cluding cases of deafness, paralysis, blindness,
sciatica, diseases of the liver, kidneys, lungs,
dyspepsia, nervous debility, Bright's disease,
diabetes, ETC., can be referred to by calling at
the Doctors parlors at the Hollenbeok Hotel, or
