BACK TO WORK AT PULLMAN.
The ofhoials Claim 76o Men VIII Be
Busy Tomorrow.

Pullman Ill, Aug. 4.-Nearly 100 more
men applied for work to-day at the offices
OF the Pullman company, and the officials
claim there will be 75O men at work next
Monday. Sixty of those who applied for
work to-day were given it and the rest
were told to report Monday. The strike
leaders say that the men who have
applied for work are not skilled car build
ers, and that the company will never be
able to get men to fill the places of such
strikers. They argue that the company
will never cause the eviction of the strik-
ers who live in the company houses, as
that would involve a loss of 5000, 600 in ar
rears of rents, besides the thousands of
dollars the work of eviction would cost.

Gold. Silver and Lead-How 1t Is Done
Description of the buildings.
As stated before, these works were
planned and laid out on a large scale,
with view to the handling and treat
ing Of large amount of ore. Gold,
silver and lead ores are treated and the
final product is lead bullion which con-
tains the silver and gold. The "base
bullion" as it is termed is then shipped
to the company's own refinery at
Chicago, where the gold and silver are
extracted.
The loaded cars arriving on the main
track are weighed on railroad scales, and
are then switched off to the side tracks
leading to the crusher house and samp-
ling works.
| The sampling works are for the pur-
pose OF not only getting value assay ON
ores received, but also determining their
character with a view to their proper
treatment. This building receives all
the sulphide ores requiring crushing and
are fully equipped with the latest i'm
proved machinery.
This machinery receives its motive
power from an automatic cutoff engine
of l50-horse power, built by Hcn'y &
Myer Of Denver, Colorado.
For sampling the oxidized ores pass
through system of one large Blake
crusher, one small stone crusher, pair
Of large rolls, and a small grinding
machine.
For those ores that require preimi-
nary roasting there is an automatic
sampling mill which both pulverizes and
samples, great degree of 1ineness being
required. This automatic sampler re-
ceives the sulphide ores direct from the
J cars, and consists of stone crusher. ele-
vator, trommelscreen, one large and one
small pair Of Cornish rolls and automatic
sampling device. which takes out any
desired proportion of the ore passing
through the mill. This sampler is math-
: ematically correct, and only requires two
men to run it.
After this process the ore is taken in
tramways to the upper series of bins be.
tween the samping house and the rosst
! ing house, or if oxidized ores taken to
the lower bins. Between the samping
house and the other parts of the plan,
there are an extensive series of railroad
tracks intersecting bins and building
= economizing movement as much as
possible.

A HISTORY OF The SMELTER
From the Time the Ground Was
First Broken by the Hon.
Paris Gibson.

The works Of the United Smelling and
Refining company have for the past five
years been recognized by Great Falls as
one of her institutions of which she is
justly proud. The specially of this
plant is the treatment of gold, silver and
lead ores. In the demand for supplies
the works are thoroughly cosmopolitan,
the carbonate and sulphide ores of
Barker, the dry ores of Neihart, the
galena ores Of the Cpur 'dAlene, the
carbonate ores of Judith Basin. Anacon-
da, etc, and the silver ores of SLOGAN and
Kasio in British Columbia are all used
This smelter plant is the largest Of it's
kind in Montana. and the machinery in
operation is the newest and most i'm
proved that is in use. Large as the
works are in their present state, they
only form one section of the original
plan. When the works are completed as
originally contemplated they will be four
times the present size.
The works stand on the banks of the
Missouri, close to the Giant spring, and
I are connected with the business portion
Of tho city b., railway and telegraph.
1t was the twelfth of Mar ch, 1888.
when the Hon. Paris Gibson first broke
ground for the enterprise, and since that
time, during erection and completion,
the interests of the smelter and city
have been closely identified.
At the commencement the company
bore the name of the Montana Smelling
company, and was composedof Abraham
S. Hewitt, president; w. S. Gurnee,
treasurer, and Anton Eilers, managing
director. Mr.. Eilers was the moving
spirit in the erection of the works, as he
fully recognized the vastness and rich
ness of the mineral deposits in the region
tributary to Great Falls. In this he
was ably assisted, first, by Mr.. Robt
Sticht, and afterwards by Mr.. Anton
Enrich. whose decease occurred during
the past year, and to whose memory the
writer desires to pay a humble tribute.
In 1891 the Montana Smelling com.
pany consolidated with the Helena
and Livingston Smelling and Re-
fining company Of East Helena, Mon.
tana, under the name of the United
Smelling and Refining company, by
which name both works are now known
The officers Of the company are Abram
S. Hewitt. president; r w. Raymond
vice president; w. S. Gurnee, treasurer
H. Luhr, secretary, and Anton Eilers
general manager. The local officers arc

plants at East Helena, and Mr.. Frank

THE ROASTER BUILDING.

An Immense Edifice 5Ox376 Feet Where
the sulphur is Extracted from Ores.
This building is used for the purpose
of expelling the sulphur from the ores
that contain it, before undergoing fur
ther processes. There are in this build
ling ~ty furnaces, ten of which are re-
verbatory roasting and ten are reverba-
tory fusion furnaces. The draught of
these furnaces is caused by round
stack l25 feet high and ten feet in
| diameter.
These furnaces connect with two par
allel tlues running along the center of
the building, each receiving the gases
| from the furnaces which are built in two
rows and placed back to back. The
tiues terminate in series Of dust chamb-
ers connecting with the base of the
stack, the length of tlue being about
600 feet.
The ore after being roasted is dis.
charged into small cars which are tram
med out, and the contents dumped into
the lower bins the tops of which are on
level with the floor of the roasting
building.
Between the roaster and furnace build
ings are parallel series of bins with five
railroad tracks These bins contain
roasted ore, others oxide Ores which are
either unloaded direct into the bins or
if necessary, put through crusher to
reduce the ore to a proper size for sam
pling and smelling. In unloading every
fifth shovelful is put aside for the sam
pie. which is quartered down the usual
way, taken to the sampling mill, put
through the rolls and prepared for the
assayer.
Other bins contain huxing materials

Brick Building 1OOx135 Feet Full of
Massive Machinery.
The power house is substantial look
ing brick building, 100 feet by 135. En-
tering on the north side visitor is
impressed by the massive size Of the
machinery. In the rear Of the building,
three penstocks, each ten feet in diameter
enter the building from the canal, con-
ecting with Victor horizontal wheels of
ne latest type. At the lower penstock
rere is pair of 44-inch Victor wheels.
me wheel furnishes general power to
the concentrator and smelter, and it is
this massive machinery which must at
tract admiration. From this machinery
the power is transmitted by cables,
strung over solid timber towers to the
point of destination.
At the upper penstock there are pair
If 2O-inch Victor wheels, being the
source of power for the electric dynamos
or light, etc., and the dynamos for rum
ling the electric cranes in the smelter

done by utilizing the full power of the

SO well known, it may be fully expecte
that the time is not distant when the
