acquire the property and build suitable
plant for the handling Of the ores, as
well us differences OF long standing be-
tween some of the owners have hereto
fore served to keep the deposits of copper
from heing marketed.
This should be taken with plenty
of mental reservation for future de-
velopments. 1t is easily possible
that large smelter is going into
Seven Devils, as it will be remem-
bered that r. l.. Cox went back to
Erie, Pa, after his visit here, ex-
pressing confidence that 250-t ton
smelter could be arranged for and it
is known that other substantial par
ties are interested in promoting a.
large smelling plant. 1t is easily
possible that Eaves wrote up the SEN
sational dispatch above, and as
matter of course, in such event, the
coming smelter would be made TO ap-
pear closely interviewer with the pet
Idaho Railroad and Snake river fraud
which Eaves fondly hopes may yet
survive its doom, In our humble
opinion, the small smelter now in
course Of erection on Indian creek,
and in the success OF which we have
every confidence, will prove later on
to be In no way connected with the
wild |. Il. r. project. Certain it is
that any larger smeter coming in
will not be. We also desire to proph-
esy, right here, that Messrs. Aiken,
Edison and other gentlemen named
in connection with the purchase OF
mines, (Which is undoubtedly gen.
uine) and who are Interested in ways
OF transportation, will have no con-
nection whatever with the Snake
, river burlesque, but, when they dc
move in transportation matters, will
K do SO through route that will guar.
