KETcHUM KEYSTONE: The New
York World last week enumerated
104 trusts, and among them we no.
ticed "smelter trust" This trust,
the World says, controls all of the
important smelling plants in the
country, fact which possibly fur
nishes an explanation of the anoma-
" of our smelter standing idle in the
midst of ores and advantages enjoyed
by no other plant in the country
We are certain that the prices our
miners pay for the treatment OF their
ores are more than enongh to coin
double the necessary cost of smelt-
ing ores in this place, with the many
advantages we possess for doing the
work cheaply, and we feel quite GER
tain that men having $4,000 invest
ed in an enterprise that could as well
as not be made remunerative would
not let their machinery lie idle and
their investments remain unprohta-
bic from year to year for purely per
verse reasons. 1t is evident, there
fore. that the ketehum smelters are
not idle at the cost of the proprietors
They are deriving a profit from some
source for refusing to operate them
and what other source SO prohtablt
as the trust which has general con
troll of the entire smelling business o
the country. There is big money IL
treating the vast output of ores of thu
west, and vast capital in the trus
which controls the business, taking
from the miner more than so per cen
in excess of what would be 8 reason
able compensation for the service
rendered. The railroads are bench
Charles OF the monopoly, and unIes
, the law can be so amended as to de
/ stroy the nefarious comblnation' tn
t miner must continue to work withou
. profit, aud the ketehum smelters
stand a monumental libel on tn
:, mines of the locality, for men Will ne
e work when 1t pays them just as we
/ TO fold their hands and take the
e ease.

]. c. Doyle, of Aspen, Colorado,
has patented an ore hoist so simple
and inexpensive that it is wonder
the principle was never applied be-
fore. At the mouth of the shaft there
arc two little railways running down
the hill to the place where IT may be
desirable to dump the ore. The
bucket of ore is pulled up out of the
shaft by the weight of the car going
down the track. BY the same weight
an empty car is pulled back on an
other track. Aside from the rope oil
cable the expense of wheels is not
large. Of course this hoist can only
he used on hillside where there |:
sufficient descent for the ore car tt

in che usual way to this office for ap-
propriate action.
The permit, if one is granted, will
be issued under the direction of the

ry in regard to this question arse in

DUTCH JOHNS DEATH.
II IN Thought he Gould Have Told ,
story of I: Startling Character.

-S--NN''s.--''s
PocATsLLo, Nov. 10.-Ihe killing
Of John Andrews, better known as
"Dutch John," near Market Lake.
about eighty miles north of this place,
has been the principal theme Of con
versation on the streets here since the
news was brought IN. The remains
were found by Sheriff's posse, who
went out on information furnished by
a drunken cowboy named Williams.
One Of the party who made the find
tells your correspondent the sight was
most sickening. The body had lain
on the ground at least two weeks and
the magpies had picked the eyes out
and otherwise terribly mutilated the
remains. 'sDutch John" was man
well known and frequently seen on
the streets here. Last spring he was
arrested, together with a number Of
Others, on charge of cattle stealing,
the trial at the last term of the dis
trlct court constituting what was
known as the celebrated sFrye cattle
stealing case" On being arrested
"Dutch John" was furious, and in
choice Celtic profanity rained numer-
Gus maledictions on the heads of his
prosecutors. John was no fool, how
ever, and going to one of the parties
who had caused his ares. said that if
he did not have his trial first and be
acquitted he would "told all | know
about dot business" Suffice it to say
John was turned loose, and the fear
that perhaps he would tell "all know
about dot business" has nc doubt
caused his untimely and sudden de-
mise. Detectives and county officers
have been working on the case ever
since Johns remains were discovered,
but it is feared the demons who com
mitted the deed have meditated on il
sufficient time before hand to do a
systematic job and effectually cover
up all clues, making their apprehen-
sion difficult task to accomplish. |!
the unfortunate mans lips could have
told to listening ears the story thai
was probably on them as the last ray
of life light died out, tale would, i
is thought, would have been tolt
whose slightest word would have
stirred some of the leading stock met
of Bingham county out of their boots
and put them behind iron bars ulti
mately. 1t would, no doubt, further
more have solved the mysterious dis
appearance of numbers of cattle tina
have been shipped from Bingham
county to eastern markets.

KErcHUa KEYSTONE: Kossuth,
the packer, brought In load Of ore
from Chris MohIer's mine at Seafoam
this week. Mr.. Kossuth says Mr..
Moller has no less than five hundred
tons Of concentrating ore on his dump,
which will be concentrated this win
ter and shipped out as soon as spring
opens. For this purpose be has al
ready put up concentrating works
and made every preparation for op-
Grating it during the coming winter.
During the past summer but little ore
was taken out, as . new tunnel had
to be run to dram the water out of
the mine. This tunnel is now in
about 300 feet, and when completed
will tap the vein at depth of 270
feet below the present working level,
and in our infornant's judgment the
ore yield of the mine next year will
not be less than 1000 tons. From
twenty to twenty-five men have got
ten in supplies and will remain at
Seafoam for the winter, and most of
them will be engaged in taking out
ore. Mohler's mine is looking fire
and has 100000 in sight, including
the amount on the dump.
