Smelter Returns Show an Increase
IN the Value of the Ores.

Tuesdays mail brought returns to
the total amount Of $i6,977 AZ.
OF this amount S5,l26 79 was for
1923 tons Of ore shipped by Brougher
Bros. from lease No. IS. This Is 2.3
tons returned an average value Of
1916 Al per ton. This ore came
from a depth Of 100 feet.
This is now the banner lease OF the
camp in the large output Of high grade
ore. In the loox5o feet included
within the bounds Of this lease there Is
now at a moderate calculation a quarter
Of a million dollars worth Of ore block
ed out. 1t is the center Of what has
now been proven to be n Of the great
est ore chutes ever discovered.
Ore from leases l9 and 80 on the
same chute also gave high returns by
the same mail. The lowest return was
on q shipment which was sorted out Of
a waste dump on lease "A that gave
2 return Of SOS per ton.
Orc is still piling up on the various
leases, and the transportation facilities
Of the camp are unable to keep up with
the production, Notwithstanding the re-
cent large accession of big freight
teams. Even If sufficient teams
could be secured to move the ore. the
problem would then be to provide suf-
ficient return freight TO balance the
outgoing shipments OF ore. At present
the camp is being overpowered by a
surplus of prosperity.
Today's mail brings returns from
Selby as follows:
From 1880 pounds Of ore the net
value is $9.985 78 after railroad
freight Of $loa ton, smelling charges
Of $l2 a ton and loss in smelling had
been deducted.
Lease No IS Of Stevens & Croker
gave the following results-l3,38o
pounds yielded 456 ounces Of silver
and 2 22-loo ounces Of gold to the
ton. a,3 DO ,tirts ~
Lease No l9 Of Cutting & Brown
gave these returns-4l.6 800 pounds
yielded 2o5 72-loo ounces of silver

TIN MILL
Proposition Is Quashed

dustry, But Big Bonus May
Be Given.

The tin mill proposition submitted
by the Canton Land Improvement
company was given final turn down
at the meeting of the directors of the
board of trade Tuesday afternoon. The
real estate committee, to which the
matter of the sale of lots near the pro-
posed factory site was referred. offered
an adverse report, copy of which ap-
peared in this paper some days ago.
This report was accepted by the mem
bers of the board and further action
on the matter was thus terminated.
In spite of this action the board Of
trade has not relinquished the idea of
obtaining the mill. The intention Is
to secure it through another channel.
This plan was exclusively exploited in
the News-Democrat Tuesday, but fur
ther comment on the matter has been
enjoined by the directors of the board,
who desire to have the plans perfected
before they are submitted to the gen
eral public.

IT'S ALL A
MISTAKE
No Discrimination Against
Canton Men
ON THE W. & |. E. ROAD
But Board of Trade Has Taken
Up The Matter In Behalf of
City'S interest.

The committee on railroads of the
board of trade will investigate allega-
tions brought against the Wheeling &
Lake Erie railroad tothe effect that the
company is Observation-Disclosures Can
ton workmen in the local Shops.
The matter was introduced by Presi-
dent Charles Miller at meeting of the
directors of the board oftrade Tuesday
afternoon. Mr.. Miller stated that Ne
had heard complaints against the road
on account of the fact that number of
the men had been laid offain the Canton
shops, while he had been given to un-
derstand that more men were being EN-.
ployed in other shops operated by the
Wheeling & Lake Erie company in
other cities along it's line. Mr.. Miller
believed that the matter should be re
ferred to committee for investigation
''If It is fact that the Canton work.
men are being Disseminated against in
this way" said he, I'VE should inquire
into the matter and ascertain why the
company pursues such course"
Mr.. Dougherty said that the terms OF
the franchise held by the railroad com
pany in Canton would prevent it from
completely abandoning the local shops
But it is possible" said he, "for it tc
get around this by working only
couple of men,"
A News-Democrat reporter called a
the Office of Superintendent VanGrSa,.
of the Wheeling & Lake Erie, We53s,~
day morning to make inquiry concerr'
ing the matter. but that official weSsout
of the city Ed. Strayer, Mr.. VanDus
ems chief clerk, denied the stCAy tha',
Canton men are being unfairly treated
by the railroad company. He said that
at this season of the year work in al
the shops is light, and for that reason
1t is necessary to lay off number OF
men. The Canton shop men have moi
suffered disproportonately in this re-
spect. Men have been necessarily
thrown out of work all along the line.
Mr.. Strayer refused to make any fur
ther statements in regard to the condi-
tion of things at the LEGAL shops.
