Il saw a spectacle from my car
window as passed through Ohio the
other day which at first made me
smile. and then on reflection filed
me with feeling not at all akin to
merriment," said Congressman Jo-
seph W. Bailey of Texas at the Plant
ers. Opposite the depot of a small
town at which my train stopped was
big group, OF gloomy looking build
ings with forest Of smokestacks pro-
trudlng from their roofs. Plastered

millar photographs of Mckinley, with
which Mark Hanna flooded the coun-
try last fall, representing the Canton
major as the advance agent of pros
perity. The irony OF the situation
was that not puff Of smoke was
coming out of any of the smoke
stacks aid the pity of it was that this
was true. The town had evidently
been the scene of lively manufacture
ing industry until the heart was
taken out of business by the manage
ment Of the ccuntry's finances during
the past few years. and as I viewed
the spectacle OF desolation and

upon me that il l were in MIR. Hanna's

KniEht. Of Pythla. banquet.

The banquet given by the members
OF Elko Lodge Knights Of Pythias to
the members Of the Grand Lodge
Friday night dfewa large crowd to
the dining room Of the Depot Hotel.
Owing to tho visiting members wish
ing to leave Tor their homes on No. 3
timetables were set at an early hour
and the Knights and their ladies filed,
IN and set'to work at once slowing
away the eatables. Vixen this was
accomplished, toastmaster Sherwood
raped for order and bid the mem
bers of the Grand Lodge a he arty
welcome. he then called on w. s.
Jones, Grand Chancellor. to respond
to the toast, "The Grand Lodge. =
This Mr.. Jones did, giving the organ
ization and work of the subordinate
Lodge as connected with the Grand
Lodge. @The Endow ment Rank" was
the next toast and was responded to
by j. d. Torreyson, Past Grand
Chancellor. Mr.. Torreyson gave the
history OF the rank and urged upon
his brother Knights the necessity of
becoming members OF it so that when
they passed away from the earthly
domain to the grand domain above
they would leave something for the
loved ones left behind. j. E. Bray.
Past Supreme Represen; alive, re-
piled to the toast, @The Supreme
Lodge" He confined his remarks
almost exclusively to history OF the
struggle in the Supreme Lodge for
the recognition of the Pythian Sis
tiers and predicted that the preiudices
and conservatism, Of the older mem
bers Of the Order would fall before
the advanced thought of the more
progressive, and that before many
years have passed the sisters would
stand before the Pythian world
clothed IN all their rights as mem-
beers Of the Order. The next toast,
The Good of the Order" was elo.
quently replied to by Past Grand
Chancellor Huffaker. He gave a
glowing account of the good accom-
pished by ahe Knights and closed
amidst storm of applause Nick
Hummel, Supreme Representative,
was next called on to respond to
the ladies' Nick was in his ele-
ment, though bachelor, and did full
justice to his theme in the limited
time at his command. He told q
funny parable ending with the ques-
ton. "what are the ladiesH" and the
reply. 4God made them and He only
knows" He brought down the
house. The last toast, @The uni
formed Rank" was replied to by j. G
Mcpherson. He gave an interesting
statement Of the number IN this rank
in the State. This completed the
program and tosstmaster Sherwood
dismissed the crowd.
The banquet was a success in the
number present, the brotherly feel.
ing that prevailed and the general
good time had by everybody. The
INDEPENDENT reporter absorbed 30
mu oh of this good feeling that he
forgot to take notes and has written
this account from memory. May the
Knights prosper in Nevada In pro.
portion as they live up to the teach
ings Of the founder Of their Order.

AN INVENTIVE GENIUS.
j. II. Conrad Proposes to Revolution
ize the Coke Industry.

In speaking of j. II. Conrad, who is
heavily interested in dercur proper
ties the Butte Mining World says:
]. H. Conrad, of the Montana Coal
& Coke company, gave d Livingston
exchange recently, a statement rela-
tive to the plans for future operations
at Eorr which, if carried to q success
full termination, says the Enterprise,
will revolutionize the coke industry
and make Park county the logical
point for smelter operations. The 20
sition is to not only convert the out
put of the mines of his company at
Aldbridge into coke, but to save and
utilize the by-products of gas, coal tar
and dyes, and with the gas and water
power, which now goes to waste, oper-
ate smelters for the treatment of ores
at a minimum cost never yet ap-
preached in srnelter operations in Mon
tana. When it is recalled that through
the efforts and by the inventive genius
of Mr.. Conrad in introducing the
water gravity system for conveying
coal from the mines to the ovens the
cost of coke production at Horn has
already been greatly reduced, his pro-
posed future operations along similar
lines viii not be accepted as in the
least chimerical, although they are a
revelation TO the novice in coke and
bullion productions. To begin his plan
of operation. Mr.. Conrad proposes to
put l. q battery of Belgian ovens.
These ovens have a capacity much
greater than those now in use, being
so feet in length and IS inches in width,
with doors at both ends, permitting the
discharge Of the finished coke product
by the use of a hydraulic ram in from
two to three minutes where now it re-
auires one hour to discharge. and, re-
I'll the ovens in use. A saving in time
and labor will thus be effected in addi-

ton to preventing q loss now sustained
in the ovens being permitted to cool
during the present tedious process of
discharging and refilling. With this new
plant will be connected the machinery
required in saving the by-products, the
more importanf of which will be the
gas. This will be caught as generated
and used in smelling operations. Hav
ing thus paved the way for more i'm
portant improvements, the next move
ment Will be the erection of a 100-ton
smelter for the treatment of custom
ores. This will be erected on the slope
ABOVE HOrr, convenient for the utiliza-
ton OF the gas and reserve water
power OF the company, and will be OPP
Grated throughout on a gravity system.
The unsurpassed water power of the
company will be used in crushing ores
and where practicable, in handling
them as well as the refuse from the
smelter, While the gas can be employed
IN the furnaces ard for all heating pur-
poses, besides, as Mr. Conrad believes,
1t can be employed as an agency in
saving labor of skimnlers and possibly
other employees whose services cannot
be dispensed with in the ordinary
methods of treating ores. Besides the
gas, water power and natural site for
smelling operations, Horn possesses
lime silica, fire clay and other essen
lials Tor ore treatment that makes it
the ideal locality for minimizing the ex
pense of smelling, and with all those
advantages Nfr. Conrad is certain that
he can operate a smelter at the point
at an expense that will make competi-
ton from other points impracticable
and at the same time permit the re-
munerative reduction OF much of the
states low grade ore that will not pay
the present smelter charges. at any
G l9n1 n
enlargement and promises Of ore from
mine owners at Butte, and he will ex-
pend at least $4,000 during the next
year in the effort to demonstrate the
feasibility as well as the practicability
OF the contemplated enterprise.

MINING IN MONTANA.
A Prosperous Seasons Run at the
Letter Mine.

The mill at the Letter mine at
Leiterville, in Madison county, says
the Butte Miner, has been shut down
on account of freezing water after one
of the most profitable seasons run in
its history. Operations looking to the
further blocking out of the big ore
body recently struck in the mine and to
getting big supply of rock ready for
the mill next year, will be carried on
throughout the winter. That veteran
mine operator. Colonel Trarise, who
has brought this property from the
verge OF collapse TO profitable produc-
ton, has all in readiness to conduct
operations through the close season. A
force OF so men all told will be kept
at work in the mine all winter The
Letter is reported looking better now
than ever before. With the recently
added machinery the daily output can
be easily doubled. Manager Trerise ex-
poets to place the Letter in the front
rank Of Montana producers during the
coming year. The property is owned
by j. F. Letter, the dry goods prince
of Chicago and the partner of Marshall
Field of the midland metropolis.
Things are decidedly lively out at the
old camp of Garrett in Deer Lodge
county, the scene years ago of much
activity in placer mining. Some of the
earliest gold quartz discoveries in the
state We're made there but for years it
was the concensus of opinion among
men who had inspected that region
that the gold quartz bearing leads
would not carry depth. This theory
was demonstrated fallacy when at a
depth of 500 feet the lead on which is
located the Mammoth mine. was found
not only uniform in thickness but in
creasing in proportions. Since then
much development work has been done.
The old Mammoth is now in the hands
of men with the means to open 1t I'D
as it should be opened and they are
now in the east and with his return it
is expected things about the Mammoth
will take on a new lease of life. The

last winter his wife was attacked with

that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could DO nothing for her. 1t seemed
to develop into Hasty Consumption.

bottle home, and to the surprise of all
she began to get better from the first

James NJ. Dolan has returned from
visit to his property near George
town known as the Three Forks mine.
Mr.. DoIan secured a bond and lease

and had such q showing in sight by
the latter part of July that he felt
justified in taking up the bond Since

feet from the old sink, has been sunk
to depth of $50 feet, all in ore At
the 100 level a. drift has been driven a
distance of 125 feet in ore and a lateral
distance of 80 feet. AT $50 feet another
drift has been run 125 feet and the men
are now running an upraise to connect
with the upper drift. Mr. Dolan
brought in some samples of ore taken
from the breast of this drift which
carry heavily in free gold. On the
dump are almost 500 tons of good grade
ore and in the spring Mr. Dolan pro-
poses putting up ten-stamp mill on
his property. He will continue develop
