dump, and he counts on getting profit of over $500 from the smelter.
 But the smelter would not pay anything like $19.73 for the ore. The smelters have an arbitrary system of their own for settling. The customary practice is to deduct per cent from the gold and from the silver values for refining charges They are, perhaps, iusti- fled in this, for the refinery some times pays the smelter only 95 per cent of the gold at $2O an ounce and for the silver at the current market price.
 It is in paying for copper that the smelter makes the biggest re- duction. An old Cornish custom is to pay for no copper except the amount in excess of 1.3 per cent If the ore does not assay more than 1.3 per cent the miner gets nothing at all for the copper. This custom was started when smelling was a primitive business, and a good deal of copper was lost in matteing. Nowadays metalurgy has been improved so that only about 3 per cent of per cent of copper is lost. Nevertheless they usually charge their old toll of 1.3 per cent In addition to this they only pay 10 cents a pound instead of 164 cents, the market price. The deduction is alleged to cover the re- fining charges.
 The assay value of ore carrying f per cent copper is s13.20. The smelter, however, deducts 1.3 per cent, leaving 2.7 per cent, or 54 pounds, for which it pays 10 cents d pound or S5.4O.
 The smelter payment, therefore, is about like this:
 Gold at s20 per oz., less 5 per
 cent $3-O3 Silver, 4 oz-, at 5S1c per oz.,
 less , per cent nt 2.2S
 Copper, 4 per cent, less 1.3
 per cent, 54 pounds at 1Oc
 per pound --.-.. 5-30
 Total $11.4S
 Out of this must come smelter charges, $6 per ton, wagon haul, s4, and railway freights, S1-50 per ton, making a total of $11.50. As the smelter only paid at the rate of s11-4S per ton, there is a net loss of ? cents per ton.
 Instead of making a profit of over $500 on his shipment, therefore, the mine owner has suffered a loss of S2, and that does not include the cost of mining
 These deductions made by the smelters are a never ending source of bitterness between smelter and mining men, On their face they
Williams news., 1901-10-05

deducting 1.3 per cent from the copper assays the smelter makes a clear profit of about S2.50 a ton. The deduction of 5 per cent from the gold and the silver is a profit that varies with the richness of the ore. In some cases these deduct ions alone are enough to pay big profits for the smelter with a cor responding loss of dividends for the mine. Shelter men defend the tolls with the plea that if they did not get the tolls they would have to raise their smelling rates. It all amounts to the same thing in the end, they say.
 This system of payment is prac- ticed almost everywhere over the country. There is one conspic- uous exception. That is the smell ter at Trail, B. c. The low grade ores of that camp seldom carry much more than 1.3 copper. There fore under the old system the min eral owner would get nothing for the metal The War Eagle Center Star companies have made a con- tract with the Trail smelter for 30O,OO0 tons of ore The smelter does not deduct the usual 1.3 per cent, but pays for 70 per cent of the copper. It pays for it at the New York quotation, less St cents. That contract is a peculiarly ad- vantageous one.
 In paying for the lead ore the smelter makes a deduction of 10 per cent from the assay value of the lead, and pays at the market price. There is the usual deduc- ton of 5 per cent for silver and gold. Sometimes an ore carries both copper and lead. It is not practical to smelt both copper and lead from the same ore One must be lost. Therefore it is usual to give up the metal which is the jess valuable. This makes a still further complication.
 The smelling charge is usually based on what are called neutral ores-an ore in which the percent age of iron and silica is about equal. If the iron is in excess of the silica the smelter often pays 10 cents for each per cent of excess. Metal Miner.

The Santa Fe railroad company is about to convert the locomotives between Needles and Seligman into oil burners Tuesday locomotive and crew were sent over the divis- ion to locate oil stations, and the big tanks will be put in as soon as possible after the report is in. The use of oil on the desert gives added comfort to the people who travel, as it will enable them to keep the car windows open without getting covered with cinders and grit. The company will also sprinkle the roadbed with oil and keep down the fine dust that makes travel wearisome to the tourist.-Journal- Democrat.

AMERICANS FREE AND EASY.
Europeans Express Relief That They
Have Left Pekin.

Paris, May 1.-THE Echo de Par.
prints letter from a correspondent in
China stating that great relief is felt
among European soldier at the with
drawal of the American troops. The
correspondent says the American troops
were FAR too free and easy for the mill
tary etiquette of the continental forces.
He says the Americans We're always
potshooting at any one and every one.
On one occasion, he says, three Ameri'
cans commenced shooting at the
French consulate. The French sentry
on duty there protested, but the Ameri-
cans paid no attention to him and con-
tinued their shooting. The sentry then
fred on them. He shot one, bayonetted
another, and the third decampcd. The
Americans according to the correspon-
dent, are fine, manly fellows, who are
excellently provided with military
equipment, but whose ignorance of
military matters is deplorable.

San Luis Obispo. Cal. May 12.-The
route of the presidents train north
ward from Los Angeles yesterday lay
through the Santa Clara valley to the
coast where it ran for hours along the
edge of cliffs overhanging the Pacific
ocean. At every stopping place there
was flower show rivalling in beauty
the floral parade which the president
witnessed at Los Angeles. At Ventura
and Santa Barbara the president was
simply overwhelmed with flowers. The
carriages in which he rode were lined
with them and the streets over which
he passed We're paved with them. There
was no abatement of the enthusiasm
which has attended the presidents
progress since he entered California.
A drive through the city was in each
case the principal feature at the places
where the president stopped. He was
very much interested in the old Span
ish missions filled with historic relics,
which he visited both at Ventura and
at Santa Barbara. San Luis Obispo
was the last stop of the day. 1t was
reached at o'clock in the evening. in
time for a drive through the town. At
ter crossing the mountain range the
train will drop down to Del Monte on
the bay of Monterey. where the party
will remain to-day and Sunday.

LITTLE RANGE WAR CLOUD.
BcnNerhend People object to Mad

\ little range war cloud obscurcs the
northern part of Beaver Head county,
and one of the firm of Iindcr Bros, who
resides near Blaine. Madison county, was
in Dillon tn tell his troubles to the county
attorney. Iindcr Bros. have some cattle
of their own and also herd their neigh
boris cattle. Up near Glendale is Il good
cattle range and they drove several hun
drcd head of cattle up there and placed
them on the range for the summer.
The residents OF that section also OWE
some cattle and they naturally objected
to their ranges being usurpcd by cattle
from another county. They held Il round
up and gathered together all Of the Mad
ison county cattle they could find, about
800 head, and drove them across the Big
Hole river into Madison county again.
Young Iinder did not know just how
he had been damaged and has gone out
to the range to see if he could not find
some evidence to justify him in bringing
an action. Serious trouble is not ex-
pectcd, but the residents of that section
intend to stand up for what they consider
their rights.
