Prospects Of Smelter Trusts,

A Denver dispatch of January 3lst
says: The organization of the Ameri-
can Smelling Company, in which the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany has been merged with the Gug-
genheim interests, and which will con-
troll between rs and so per cent of the
silver output of the world, has been
announced by Simon and Daniel .Gug-
genheim, who arrived in the city yes
terday.
The Messrs. Guggenheim have given
out the following statement:
sour business has not been absorbed.
There has been merging of the two
interests and an exchange of secure
ties. In the handling of metals, the
miner will be enabled to get the full
prices that are paid, and what benefits
the miners is of advantage to the smell
ters. We have kept up the price Of
lead and we propose to do the same
with silver.
"Today silver is scientifically and
secretly bought by four brokers in
London who stand in with each other
aud the buyer. The seller sells his
product from day to day and is at the
mercy of the brokers. This can and
will be changed as soon as the thing
can be rounded
"We believe that instead of the smell.
ter company being menace to the
country it will be an advantage. In
the first place, the receipts of the rail
road will be increased by an increase
Of freight in and out. To the miner it
will mean an enormous advantage. 1t
will increase the product of his ores,
because under such large operation
as this will be the smelters can assist
the miners to mine his low grade ma
terial which he now ofttimes allows to
remain in the mine.
"We believe the smelter is, in a
sense, to the miner what the banker is.
The banker supplies him when in need
of funds, and the smelter should sup
ply him with low treatment charges.
"We have been getting information
from large institutions like the Krupp
works in Germany concerning their
methods of caring for their employees.
We intend to apply the best of these
methods to the men in our employ.
1t is our intention to improve the con-
dition of the men, and we hope to es-
tablish libraries and proper homes for
them. We do not claim to be philan,
thropists, but believe that an improved
condition of the men in our employ
cannot but work an advantage to us.
There Is no doubt that the thrifty la
borers will in time become investors
in the secureties of the company, and
that is what we want"

The Yuma Sun says: One day dur
ing the latter part of last week VIM.
Shultz, German prospector who owns
some claims in the northern part OF
Yuma county, had an experience the
bare recounting of which causes the
hair on his head to assume vertical
position defying the calming influences
of hair brush and water. Mr.. Schultz
has been employed for several months
past in the United Verde mines at
Jerome, and being of frugal disposi-
ton had amassed several hundred dol
lars. With this it was his intention to
develop the treasures hidden In his
Yuma county holdings, and in pursu'
ance of the fulfillment of his cherished
ambition he packed his burro, placing
his earnings in tin pail, with other
articles of more or less value, which he
tied to pack saddle. But an unkind
fate decreed that the result of his
months of labor was not to go toward
the revelation of the contents of
Schultz's claims. At point above
Picaho, where the prospector attempted
to cross the Colorado river, the burro
stuck in the quicksand, and sunk from
sight-bedding, clothes, cooking uten,
sils, money and all-before assistance
could be procured. With the sinking
of the prospector's gold, amounting to
about 3J0S, sank also his dreams of af
fluence ana wealth, the hope which
springs eternal being the only article
of value saved from the relentless
grasp of the treacherous quicksand.
1t was with difficulty that Mr.. Schultz
preserved his own citizenship in the
upper world, enabling him to tell the
tale of his misfortune.

for the Tracts Is ~.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 5.-The commits

act of the last legislature, to secure title
for the state to lands which are to be
incorporated in the Wisconsin, side of tie
Interstate Park OF the Dalles of the ST.

to this time. The commission consists
of eX-Assemblyman W. G. Wheeler, of
GAINESVILLE; Harry D. Baker and I. Seery.
1t has secured agreements for sales TO
the state of large part of the lands, the
deeds being deposited in escrow TO be
delivered whenever the purchase money
is paid. This is as far as the commission
could go, as the Jaw provides that no pay
ment can be made from the fund pro-
vided until the commission makes its final
report. The amount required for Tie pur-
chase of the tracts is So, 655
Condemnation proceedings have been in
stituted for the acquisition of other tracts
belonging to the heirs of Isaac Staples,
and there are other tracts needed regard
ing which no action has been taken, the
appropriation not being sufficient to Sc
cure all the land. In the judgment of
the commission, a further appropriation
of $500 will be needed, and further legis-
lation is also asked, more clearly defining
the powers and duties of the commission,
and more clearly outlining the procedure
to be followed in acquiring the proper
ties.
When the park is once established"
the commission says in it's report, very
little money will be required to. maintain
it; for it is not intended to supplant the
natural scenery by the artificial, but as
far as possible to preserve the natural
beauty of the locality. The land proposed
to be taken for park is one of the finest
pieces of natural scenery within the linn
it's of the state of Wiscinson, and is par
ticularly adapted to park purposes. The
state of Minnesota has already establish
ed a reservation on it's own side of the
ST.. Croix river and expended money for
that purpose"
