Another Word to Miners.

We received communication
during the week from Meesrs. Fra
ser & Chalmers. giving prices of
smelters, and estimates Of the cost
of smelling.
These gentlemen will place 40
ton smelter free on board the cars
at Chicago for $1,000 to 81 ,O0O, ow-
ing to the style and appurtenancss
required, and will furnish, free, the
necessary drawings and speci6ca-
tions; and further, will attend to
all of the business at that end of
tho line, 90 that the expense of
sending an agent or buyer to pur-
chase and ship the machinery can
be saved. This certainly puts it
within the power of Ketchum mi
ners to procure smelter. and smelt
their own ores. As the KEYSTONE
has all the time commended, they
have but to organize company of
the owners of mines yielding ores,
take out 500 tons of ore, deliver it
to the Ketchum bank and order the
smelter and it will come, and the
entire cost of the plant ready for
operation would not be more than
SIT 900, which is a liberal estimate.
1t is certainly unnecessary to fur
Their urge the necessity of a smelter
upon our mining readers. They
know the situation as we'll as any
one can tell it to them. They also
know the quantity of ore here to
be reduced, and the great expense
attending it's shipment and reduc
ton abroad. A smelter is easily
within their reach. By procuring
and operating a plant at home, W.
are convinced they can reduce theil
ores at material saving. If thu
miners think otherwise, it is thell
| matter.

A Roll OF Honor.

We hereto append the names OF those
who so kindly volunteered their services
and horses to go to the Trapper mine and
bring in the bodies of B. Y. Hampton
and Charles Spear. The weather was cold
and the trip laborious and full OF dangers,
and we are not surprised that the Salt
Lake friends of Mr.. Hampton expressed
grateful establishment at the universal
readiness of our people to take all risks
and perform any feat of labor and daring
in the interest of their dead friends. 1t
is not the fashion of the world. Great
credit is certainly due to each tor his
part in work so disayreeable and haz-
ardous; but the world knows nothing OF
the generosity and heroism OF the Amer
lean mountaineer, nor Can comprehend IT,.
Acts which others would regard as i'm
possible, and for the performance OF
which hundreds of dollars would ordl-
narily have to be paid, he regards as
matter of course. and cheertully performs
as duty; and 50 when men We're needed
to take the hazard Of the mountain trip
accomplished this week, these responded

WM. FREEL, aged IS years, and at
one time resident of Ketchum,
died at Glenn's Ferry on the 10Th
inst, under circumstances which
aroused the suspicion that he was
poisoned. He was taken sick with
in an hour after eating his dinner
on the 18th, and the attending ply
stefan pronounced the symptoms
those of poisoning. A daughter OF
deceased states that he was in the
act of taking poison at 10 O'Clock
on the day he was taken sick, but
that she knocked the cup out OF
bis hand, spilling some of the CON
tents on the back of his hand, which
he licked of. Freel, before dying
stated that the soup he had fol
dinner tasted very bitter. The case
is being Investigated.

WE are indebted to James Shaw
for the following facts concerning
Charles Spear, whose death we
have had to record this week:
He was born near Gardner, Maine,
where he had two brothers living
when he last heard from that place.
He was, at the time of his death,
about 40 years old and had been on
the Pacific coast about 20 years,
having lived first at Stockton, Cal
ifornia. Leaving there in 1873, he
went to Eureka, Nevada, coming
from there to Wood River in 1881.
Arriving here he helped to build the
Muldoon smelter, and afterwards
helped to put the machinery in the
Ketchum smelters, since which he
has worked at tool sharpening for
the miners, at which he was an ex-
pert, being a natural mechanic; but
he occasionally took hand in min
ing. He was blacksmithing for the
Trapper mine and others when he
lost his life. Poor Charley was of
a most generous, genial, honorable
disposition, and his friends were all
who knew him. His funeral. which
was to have taken place yesterday
at 2:3O o'clock, was postponed on
account of snow storm prevailing
at the time.
We have been unable to get par
ticulars concerning the life of b. Y.
Hampton, further than that he was
from Utah where he was probably
born, and where his parents now
reside. He was practical miner,
and at the time of his death was
Superintendent Of the Trapper mine
He leaves a wife and six children,
whom his father has already taken
to Utah, and whom it is pleasant
to know, has been left in comforta'
BILE circumstances. Deceased was
industrious, of good habits and
good citizen.

our information to the effect that
the P. & I. smelling plant at this
place was for sale or could be bought
on the installment plan, was unau-

property at this place is looking
we'll, and it is probable will be
started up during the spring by its
present proprietors. This is Ger.
tainly good news to our people, and
we hope it will be verified. The
company have a large sum of money
invested in their smelling md min.
ing enterprises on Wood River, and
should they find it profitable to OPP
crate their smeltersj continuously
after this winter, affairs around
Ketchum would undergo a revoiu'
ton that will astonish and benefit
all of us.
