A sMELTER.
Spokane Falls win Have ons by Nest
October.

Spokane Falls VIII Have Ons by Next
October.
Secretary Norman made tho au-
lucrative statement that smelter
would be- located In the immediate
vicinity Of Spokane Falls. He thsn
went ON to say:
81 am afraid the publication Of
the fact In one Of our newspapers
has done great damage to the
proposition, as II will seriously affect
the arrangements for right OF way,
etc. IL was Ill advised, and " the
best interests OF the city had been
observed, IL would not have been
done. The damage has been done,
however, and now we will have to
make the best Of IL. We need not
walt any longer In the matter; but
will have to do what we can
toward securing right-ofway for
side-tracks, etc. i think that a
committee should bo appointed to
help Mr. Burbidge, who isrepresent-
Ing the New York capitalists in
Spokane
MIR. BURBIDoE TALKS.
Frederick Burbidge, who has
been In charge OF the Clifford samp-
ling works here and In the Cnur
d'Alenes for the past two years, then
made u short statement. Hc said;
"Our company has been fully or
ganlzed and Is now ready 10 begin
business. Our capital is all placed,
and We are prepared to establish d
plant near this city capable of hand
ling 100 tons of ore TO start with.
The buildings will he so designed
that they may readily be enlarged.
! will state, however, that no de-
finite site has been decided upon.
"The chief thing at present
IL n right of way, and
railroad connection. If we can yet
the help of the board Of trade IL will
be much easier to get railroad
connection. Once that IL settled
we are prepared 10 go ahend and
the smelter and have IL
running by October Of the present
year.
MIR. BURNS LAYS DOWN THE LAW.
G. II. Burns then took occasion to
IA certain newspaper for its
course IN publishing certain state
ments in regard 10 the matter. He
said:
perhaps some OF our people do
not understand how much hard
work must be done by n few men In
order To get any proposition
through. 1T Is quite GER
tain that one of our news
papers does not appreciate this
iast. The action of the newspaper
In publishing what II did was
wrong. There was no occasion for
any such action and ID has done
more 10 delay and injure the smelter
than any other one
hing. IL looks rs II the paper re-
'erred TO had no real interest In the
,lty, for the publication of this mat
Ter has not only unnecessarily de-
aged the commencement OF the
but has absolutely en-
its existence"
,IR. GILLIAN ON TIE MATTER.
MIR. Lane G. Gillian said:
"I just want to see that man.
ale lied to me outright.
"He gave me his word that he
would not use that matter, just a. n
REVIEW reporter did.
81 will tell him what I think
bout him the first time 1 get a
chance.
"He need expect no more favors
rom me.
"He has done more to hurt the
,ity by delaying the completion of
his matter than any other thing he
'ould have thought OF"
A Young man vino Is connected
With the paper referred to, then got
~, although the name of his paper
lor himself had been used, and
iated that he got the matter from
/ Seattle paper.
MIR. BURBIDGE AGAIN.
Fredrick Burbidge answered him,
aging;
""rhe circular you published was
Intended for New York only,
md YOU knew that 1t was
iot intended for publication
lere. Further, you asserted
hat the site was definitely settled
lpon. Ii Is not u certainty yet by
my means. We think tho
melter will 20 down the river, but
iothlng Is sure; especially since the
OF your article"
ON motion of Mr.. Furth COM
nittee of three was appointed To
Is,ist the smeltcr people in securing
ailrond connection. Those ap-
,ointed were: G.. n Burns, Jay r.
iravcs and III. Bolster.
