LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
IN HIS FATHERS DEFENCE.


To the Editor Of the Evening Journal.
Sir: / have just received word from
the Peninsula that a report has been
going the rounds Of the press that my
father, Rev. John A. B. Wilson, ID. D.,
is in trouble with his church. / take
this means of disappointing his enc
mics and gratifying his friends in Del
aware and Maryland by informing
them that there is no truth in the story
We owe no thanks to his Eastern enc
mics that it is net so.
In an effort to secure the enforce
ment of law by the police authorities
of this city, who allow it to be openly
violated, the Ministerial Union organ
lied the Parkhurst Society and elected
my father president. The society went
to doing something at once, and the fire
being chiefly directed at the chief of
police, he made his defence by getting
letters from j. Miller Thomas and
others who have never cease to hate
the men they could not control for
their own ends. Letters were publish
ed here with a view of making trouble
between my father and his church, but
they failed of their purpose.
1t was not enough that these men
did all they could TO ruin my father
while on the Peninsula, but wherever
we have gone since their hatred and
malice have followed him in the shape
of malicious misrepresentation by
which they hope TO ruin his useful
ness. Such methods have failed here
as they did in New York. and he is
having a most successful pastorate
having received nearly 500 into the
church membership since he came here
fourteen months ago. There have been
conversions every week. and revival
is now in progress with good results. II
this letter is acceptable to you, l shall
be glad if you will use it to correct the
report now being circulated on the
Peninsula.

One Of the most interesting sights in
the great mining town Of Butte is the
process by which copper is caught from
the emerald colorod water that flows
from the Anaconda and ST. Lawrence
mines. It is estimated that this water,
which for four or five years went TO
waste, is now bringing the Anaconda
company $50, 600 a month at a cost Of
about 81, 600 month.
At the present time several acres Of
ground are covered with wooden watts.
These are filed with all the old scrap
iron they can hold. Ithas proved splen-
did scheme for disposing Of the tons and
tons of old iron the company has accu-
mulated for years Old hoisting cages,
water pipe, whcelbarrows, railroad iron
lin fact, any old thing that consists Of
tin or iron-is appropriated to this serv-
ice.
1t is said for every pound Of iron put
into vat a pound Of copper is produced.
Where the water first attacks the iron,
the copper absol bs tho iron completely
within three weeks. After the precipi-
tation is effected the water is drawn of
and the Shiny copper is transferred to
another tank, where the water is further
drained Off These latter watts hold
about 10 tons Of the copper, which now
has the appearance of "a clayish sub
stance This is sacked into packages OF
about 100 pounds. When i'll this shape,
it is sent to the smelters in this city.
The product carries an average Of sc
per cent pure copper. The iron remain
ing in it makes fine fax, and when
mixed with other smelling ore 1t Is
said to bring the ore up to a value OF
about $500 ton.
