THE SHELTER.
a Huge Structure 45J Feet Long by =
Feet Wide.

A Huge Structure 455 Feet Long by 22J
Feet Wide.
The smelter building is a huge struct-
ure 455 feet long by 225 feet wide and
covers two and one-half acres. 1t is
constructed of iron and is absolutely
fire proof. There are in the building up
ward of 200 tons of iron and about 500
windows furnish light to the workmen.
The smelter is thoroughly equipped with
all the latest machinery and appliances
necessary for treating 600 tons Of ore
daily, which can be increased to 1000 if
so desired.
The process of smelling consists of
drying the concentrates, calcining, roast
ing in Bruckner rotary furnaces, and
smelling by gas in the latest improved
furnaces to matte, and thence by huge
converters worked by hydraulic power
into pig copper, when it is then ready
for the refinery.
In the upper section of the building
are bins to hold the product of the con-
centrator. which her undergoes the
process mentioned above. There are
~twenty-four Bruckner rotary furnaces
for roasting and eight smelling furnaces
in which gas is used for the heat re-
Yuired.
The converting plant is very complete,
massive and elaborate, the whole having
a capacity of blowing 100 tons of pig
copper per day. 1t consists OF eight
J-ton %converters in frames, eight spare
met for refining, two blast furnaces for
smelling with coke fuel, coarse ores,
slags, and Butte IL Boston matte. the
capacity Of each being 100 tons per day.
A third one is now being erected.
In connection with the furnaces and
converters is an hydraulic plant for tilt
ing the machinery. This consists of one
Worthington pump for 500 pounds pres.
sure, and two accumalators for SOC
pounds pressure each.
A complete gas plant for gas furnaces
and converters is here which consists OF
80 gas producers.
In front of the furnaces and converters
are the two cotton electric n work.

THE REFINERY.
Final Publication of the COpper-The
Gold and Silver Extracted.

Final Fabrication of the COpper-The
Gold and silver Extracted.
1t might be stated here that the cree
ton of this refinery, at a cost of 100000,
stamps the smelling proposition as a
success. The refinery may be said to
consist of five buildings as follows, viz:
The boiler house is a brick building,
3Ox4O feet. 1t contains three 80.horse
power boilers for heating the buildings
and the acids used in the various pro-
cesses of refining.
The Copper Refinery.
This building is Of stone SOx13O feet.
In this building are three reverbatory
furnaces into which are placed the cop
per pigs that come from the converters
at the smelter. After the charge is
melted, it is refined by fire, and then
run into anode moulds, when it is ready
for the electrolytic building. Some Of
the copper is also refined and cast into
ingots. The floor of the refinery is COW
cred with thick iron plates on which the
anodes are placed to cool before removal.
The Blue vitrioI Factory.
This building, 3Ox4O feet, lays south
west of the electrolytic house and is
used for the manufacture of sulphate of
copper required so extensively for the
watts in the electrolytic house. On en-
tering the door the visitor gets a good
sniff of a sweet, metallic odor which per-
vades the room. Watts, the top of which
are on a level with the floor, stretch the
length of the room for half its width,
while on the other side are enormous
piles Of blue vitriol Of pure quality and
ready for removal.
The ElectrOIytic House.
This building formed of brick is
1O8xl74 feet. Entering the building a
stranger is struck by the quiet pervading
the place. 1t is furnished with Is rows
| of watts, of a total number of 288 watts
| Each row contains 800 anodes. Reared
| against the north side Of the building
are seen numerous catholics ready fol-

turned on which attacks and de

WHEAT.

The immediate outlook Tor wheat
is not encouraging and it is appre.
hendod that the price is far more
likely to be lower before the close OF
the year than it is to advance. The
country will undoubtedly carry over
to the new crop year a considerable
surplus, so with an average crop we
shall probably have more wheat
available for export this year
than last. II the European and
orher wheat-growing countrys have
fair crops and there is not a very
decided improvement in the home
demand, it would seem that wheat
must inevitable go lower. At any
rate it seems entirely safe to predict
that it will not be higher, except
perhaps spasmodically, rs the effect
Of speculation, and indeed it is the
opinion OF those who have given
the matter intelligent consideration
that the price OF wheat is not likely
to ever again, at least within the
lifetime Of this generation, reach
the figures it has attained in
the past. The development OF
wheat production in Argentina, the
possible increase in Australia and
the increasing yield in regions till
lately unheard of as wheat produc,
ers, all forbid the idea that the
American wheat growers will be
enabled for years tc come to get

NINETY DAYS TO GET OFF.

A Clear and Lucid Explanatio of
the Law Regarding Leased Lands
Which Have Been Sold.
Attorney General Coe |. Crawford
Of Pierre in his official capacity has
given out to the public the follow.
ing circular, which explains itself
and will be interesting rending to
those who have leased school lands:
"Where public land belonging to
the state has been leased for the
term Of FIVE years under the Jaw
above cited, the state has q right to
sell it, Notwithstanding the lease,
but the lessee is entitled to ninety
days notice before he can be re-
CURED to vacate the premises, and
by the expiration Of said period af-
ter receiving notice Of sale he is en-
titled to remove Improvements
placed by him upon the land, such
us fences, sheds, watertanks, wind
mills, etc.
The land is not leased (the con-
tract is not made until the governor
has approved the lease and it has
been executed and delivered rs pre-
vided by law. Until this is done
there is no lease and NO necessity
for notice Of sale. The lessee has no
authority to take possession or the
land and to place Improvements
upon it until the lease has been OPP
proved by the governor and exc
cuted and delivered as required by
law.
However, after advertisement,
offer, approval, execution and deliv-
cry OF lease is all done, if the state
desires to sell, it must give the lessee
ninety days notice before it can re-
qnire him to vacate and remove his
Improvements. This notice should
be in writing and personally served,
and should state to the lessee that
the land has been sold by the state
and that he, the lessee, must vacate
and surrender up the premises and
remove his Improvements by the
expiration Of ninety days from the
date OF said service. The ninety
days will begin to count the next
day after the service is male-ex-
clude the day of service from the
count and include the last day.

The following letter was received

Mr.. Editor-Dear Sir: We are

such prices for wheat as they have
in the past. Three propositions
are suggested as means of relief to
the American farmer. One is to
produce less wheat, another is to
incaease the home market and the
third is to seek new markets in
countries which may be mainly con-
troiled by the Unined States. Re-
ciprocity has accomplished some
thing in the latter direction, but
that is probably doomed, while the
second proposition will avail moth
ing if the democratic tariff policy
shall prevail, for under that policy
we should be fortunate if we could
maintain the home market as at
present. AS to producing less
wheat it is a matter which the far
mers can determine for themselves.
and it is safe to say that very few of
them will head the suggestion. In
the report Of the secretary of agri-
culture for 1892 Secretary Rusk said
"The time has arrived when the
American farmer must cease his
efforts to neutralize the low priced
Of his wheat by producing a large
quantity. He is going from had tc
worse, and each effort to extricate
himself by that means sinks him
deeper in the mire Of failure. The
only proper course lies in u reduc.
ton Of acreage and production te
meet the demand Of donestic con.
sumption and a normal requirement
for exploration. The American far
mer's hope of remuneratlve price,
depends upon his gauging his areas
in cultivation more closely to thu
normal demand, and not vie:ng il
competition with the peasant and
serf labor Of the entire world
Something else is wanted besides
wheat and corn, or cotton and to
bacco. The farmer must find othe1
outlets for his labor, or stop hi
pillow and rest his hoe upon tn,
border line of production which
limits living prices" There is NJ
evidence that the farmers of Americ,
paid the least attention to ,hes,
suggestions of one who had intelll
gantIy and carefully studied thei,
condition and hal a profound inter
est in their welfare.-Omaha Bee.
