Trials ofn New York Pastor.

r. II. Mont, pastor of the Shiloh Bab-
tist church at Newburg, New York has
resigned, and in so doing givos out a
column letter stating his reasons.
He charges that his congregation con-
verted the house of God into home of
the devil; that women sang, gave skirt
dances and high kicking exhibitions and
when he disapprcved Of these things,
tried to starve him out, giving him only,
he says, S2750 in thirteen weeks, or
nbout 81. % per week for three persons
himself, wife and chid-to live on.
He says that he has come to the con-
clusion after many days of prayer on his
knees in his closet in prayer, that as
there is no love in his flock for their pas
tor, he cannot continue in their service.
He says he loves his people and would
continue with them if things we're differ
ent. But as he must go, he feels it
his duty to give his reasons and says he
does it in love.
The playing Of fast music, the singing
to the devil and the high kicking and
skirt dancing, seem to have taken place
in the church on Broadway in Newberg
during fair last June, and Rev. Mont
says he reproves himself for giving in to
the devil and his works and not resign
ing then and there.

THE CARPENTER SHELTER.

From Teddie Williams, who came up
from Golden Monday evening TIE On.
SERVER learns that the initial work has
been commenced on the new Carpenter
smelter at Golden. which will be erected
for the purpose o: treating the low grade
sulphide ores of Clear Creek and Gilpin
counties. The company has secured 100
acres OF ground, which includes the site
OF the old Malachite smelter, and is an
ideal location for smelter. The works
are to have capacity of 800 tons per
day, which will be Increased as occasion
demands, DR.. Carpenter expressing the
opinion that it eventually will have Il
capacity of 1000 tons. He bases his
opinion on existing conditions. The
company owns its mines. and it is rea-
sonably certain that the works will have
plenty of ore. Ore running but S8 per
ton can be treated to a profit. The de-
tails of the company's operations will be
in the hands of Mr.. Ernest LeNeve
Foster, who is a member of the com
pany.

share Of the business, but without re-
gard to what others are doing"
j. b. Giant of the American Smelling
and Refining company has figured out
that as the tonnage from Cripple Creek
is only 12 per cent. of the total tonnage
which his company handles, that being
the proportion in which the changes are
mixed, while the mills handle Cripple
Greek ores entirely, the smelters will
lose only - per cent of the money lost
by the mill men.
The interest of mining men in other
camps than Cripple Creek is centered
principally upon the question whether
the smelling combination will stop when
it gets the amonnt of Cripple Creek ore
which it formerly needed-12,0o0 to 15,-
0C0 tons month-or whetherit Will take
all offerings and enlarge its operations
on corresponding scale. To do so, it
is believed that a reduction on certain
grades of lead ores might be necessary
and this reduction would be the means
of opening the mines in upper Clear
Creek county, which have been closed
down since 1893, although some of them
cantain enormous bodies of low grade
lead-silver Gre. II is pointed out that
the apparent close relations between the
smelter railroads and smelters will en-
able the Inter to avoid taking more of
the Cripple Creek ore that they want to
handle without appearing to do so, since
the railroad might exhaust the ore haul
ing facilities after the maximum demand
was filled, and leave the ore in the camp
as has been done before when the mills
nave been worked.

FIGHT BETWEEN THE SHELTERS

that u circular was received in that city
few days ago by the principal mine
owners, which would seem to indicate
concerted action ir the past of the smelt-
er trust between that city and the camp
as feature the cyanide mills and the
smelters.
The circular offers a reduction on
rates for the treatment of ore amount
ing to about % per cent. of the existing
rates: but stipulates that the ore shall
be sent over the lines OF railroads which
the American Smelling and Refining
company shall select.
1t is limited that the Florence and
Cripple Creek road, and the Midland
Terminal have disseminated in their
transportation rates in favor of the smell.
ter trust, enabling it to transport its ores
over their lines at prices which would
kill their new one.
The mills and smelters will soon come
to deadly clinch; and at present, un-
less some big gain is made by the smelt-
ers, it looks as if the mills had the best
OF it, for they have the &C operations Of
the mines.
There was rumor around yesterday
that the Standard Oil company which
is in control of the trust, would make n
move to control some of the larger mines
of Cripple Creek and the smelters and
mines working together could easily beat
the mills. What the outcome will be
no one eau say; but the following notice
