KANSAS UNIVERSITY MEN
Propose to ReVoIutionize the Smelt-
ing of Low Grade Ore.
AFFECTS LOW GRADE ORES.

Kansas City, Mo-. Jan. 2S.-Charles
E. Finney, manager of NJ Guggenheim's
Sons. of New York, the shelters, Chas.
S. Gleed, of Topeka, a director OF the
Santa Fe railroad, and Lucien V. Blake
head of the electrical department, of
the University of Kansas, met here and
discussed a proposition that may pro-
duce most important results to some
smelters and owners of mines and
precious metals
Professor Blake has been experiment
ing for some time on an electrical pro-
Hess by which metal may be obtained
from ore cheaper than by any process
now in use; particularly for separating
the metal OF a low grade ore and in
this way increasing the value Of low
grade ore.
The consolidation OF NJ. Guggenheim's
smelters to form a new smelling and
mining company has been practically
arranged, and Mr. Finney and the
heads of the only two large smelling
companies of the country Will meet
February 16, and complete the CONSOLE
dation. the entire smelling business
of this country and Mexico Will then
with the exception of a few small
plants, be controlled by one great COM
bination.
Mr.. Finney was asked whether the
combination of the Guggenheims would
reduce the price Of ore He said:
There will be no increase in the
price of metals and I viii tell you why.
Even though the trust should control
prices, it could not afford to raise
the price of metals higher than that
which would bring a fair profit, be
cause as soon as that was done a score
of smaller smelters would start up, and
they wovld do business too. They
could make q fair profit at lower prices
than the trust.
