RESUMPTION OF OPERATIONS.
Roasters at the Sinelt-r fired Up-An
Opportunity For Miners.

'No"s'eTs ~ Suheiter FIRED tp-An
Opportunity For Miners.
For some months the plant of the
United Smelling & Refining company at
Great Falls has been idle. The TRIBUNE
is pleased this morning to chronicle the
fact that five roasters are now in opera
ton, and that there is a prospect in the
immediate future of the remaining
roasters being in use and the stacks at
the smelter fired up. This intelligence
would seem to indicate a belief in the
owners Of the plant that there will not
only be an appreciation in the price Of
silver, but that the mine owners of the
surrounding country will begin the ship
ment Of ore in sufficient quantities to
keep the works in constant operation.
The silver-smelting plant, operated by
the United Smelling and Refining COM
pany, is not only complete in every de-
tail and prepared to treat successfully
large quantities of ore, but the manage
ment is comprised OF men whose prac.
teal and theoretical experience place
them in the front rank among the
smelter operators of the country. The
causes leading to the closing down OF
this plant do not need to be recited al
length. The ore supply was not sufi.
Gent and the management did not care
to operate at a loss. 1t is a business
proposition to them and they are to be
commended for the manner of their
operations heretofore. The five roasters
nnxv in ,tcn hoyn a nananitv nf I'M TONG
daily, and this will be more than quad
rupled when all are in use.
In the resumption of operations here
there is afforded the miners of Barker and
Neihart an opportunity which they
camp is especially DESTROYS of a custom
plant. That cannot be put IN this sea
son, and Great Falls is the nearest avail
able point for shipment. The railroad
charges, it is stated, are not SO high but
that the Neihart ores can be shipped
here and treated with a handsome prof
to the mine owners. These latter canno
hope for works in their vicinity within
a year and it is certainly not a wist
policy for them to close their mines wher
a treatment of their product would rem
der their operation profitable. There
are many mines at Neihart and else
where within convenient shipping dis
lance of Great Falls whose output would
enable the silver smelling plant here tt
be kept in continuous operation. Now
that it has been started it would be the
part of wisdom for the mine-owners to al
once make arrangements to have the
products of their mines treated. In som
cases the returns will be large, but ir
the event they do not prove a source o.
great revenue the shippers will be better
off in the end than by leaving the ore il
in the mine or on the dump.

AMERICAN PRESIDENTS.
Why Some oft early Ones We re- Selected
for The Office,

Why Some ofthe early Ones were Selected
for The Office.
1t is to be expected that a man who
rises in this country from poverty and
obscurity to the highest and proudest
position IN earth, that of president of
the United States, should be in in some
respects a remarkable man; one posses
sing characteristics and mental gifts be-
yond the average of even prominent
public men. This has generally been
the case, though not always; and in at
least one instance. Lincoln, the great
character Of the man was not developed
until after his election, and was only
drawn out in the crucial test of the
great war.
OF the early presidents, Washington
and Jackson were elected because of
their military services, though display
ing profound craftsmanship in the great
civil office; but the others, Madison.
Jefferson. Monroe and the Adamses were
chosen because of the pre- eminence in
craftsmanship they had already attained.
But since 1886 the rule has been that
the foremost men as statesmen
have not reached the presidency. Van
Buren, was an adroit and skilled poll
~tician, rather than a great statesman.
The elder Harrison and Taylor were
elected because they we're military he
roes, and neither lived to show his ca
bilities as president. Tyler and Fill
more, their official inheritors, were med
iocre men, as compared with the early
presidents. Polk and Pierce were ac-
cidents, evolved by the contentious of
men beside whom they were pigmies.
though they made respectable execut-
ives, and Polk under Jackson's tutelage.
developed craftsmanship of high order.
earlier presidents. but was hopelessly
weak in time of a great crisis. Lincoln
was a great man. johnson, another ac-
cident, had the stuff for a great presi-
dent in him, but it had been twisted and
corroded by circumstances. Grant, a
great military captain, developed unex-
pected though not great qualities in
the civil office. Hayes was probably the
%softest timber ever made into a presi
dent, yet the country swan along about
the same as if he had been a jackson or a
Webster. Garfield was a brainy man.
with some elements of great statesman
ship, yet not hawless. Arthur was in
no sense a great man, but he made "a
safe president and happily disappointed
the people.
OF Cleveland and Harrison. we will
SPEAK more fully hereafter. Both have
been president, and both are seeking to
, be president again. The country Is not
going straight to ruin, nor is there going
|, to be any great radical change in the
) course OF the ship Of state, whichever
candidate is elected. No man has ever
: been elected president who was not
strictly honorable in public and private

AN INCIPIENT BLAZE.
The Fire Department Called Out lsut
Their Services Not Needed.

The Fire Department Called Out But
Their services Not Needed.
Shortly before > o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon an alarm of fire was sounded
from box No. l3, and the hurrying
crowds to the vicinity of the Park hotel
showed that the alarm came from that
building. In what is known AS the old
house, being that part of the structure
originally built, the boilers which sup,
ply the steam for heating are undergo,
ing repairs. The weather suddenly be-
coming cool it was decided to put a
stove in the lobby until the boilers were
repaired. and the fire alarm was occa
stoned by a blaze originating in the f1ue
being communicated to one Of the cell
ing joists. The fire was quickly extin'
guished with no damage to the building
The department was promptly on the
scene, having their hose connections
made and the line to the building laid
and ready to play on the flames in les
than three minutes from the tin e the
alarm was sounded. The efficiency of
the department was highly spoken of
yesterday, and the suggestion that the
fire laddics be given a chemical engine
is one that should meet with the APP
proval of the city. The boys do good
work and should be given every facility
to aid them.

Eleven Millions in a Remark
ably Short Time.

Statistics Of the state show the as

tainly creditable and it has been rapid
of late years. From the assessors books
of Cascade county, which contain the
names of over $500 taxpayers, the fol-
lowing figures have been obtained and
they will prove of interest to readers:

was the proprietor OF u cigar store at l,li2.
A number OF people who had witnessed tho
robbery gave chase and quickly gained on tho
thief. Before he Ind run hIo 10, he was ear s

Of the men. The woman WAS Mrs. Theresa
Kcsler Of 200 West Forty-sixth street, She
said she didn't want to make charge against
the man.
II you want your property, remarked Capt
DOherty. you must come to he Essex Market
