CHANGE NOT GREAT.
Copper Production So Far This year
About the Same as Last Year.

The nroduction of copper fer the pres
ont vear showed very little change from
that of 1900 according to the reports
of Mr.. John Stanton, who acts as statis-
tician for the associated companies
saws the Engineering ard Mining Jour
nal The total reported in the nine
months up to the end of September this
wear was 1879 62S long tons, While for The
corresponding period in 1900 1t was
2CO142 tons; the decrease being only $40
tons. or little less than O.3 per cent
The change was made up by a decrease
Of SIG tons in the copper from the re
porting mines''-Which include all the
principal mines-and az increase Of Soo
tons from "outside sources'-the smaller
mines, smelters, ETC.
With practically the same production
there was a great difference in the eX-
ports from the United States. The total
copper exported this year up to the END
Of September was 6S,110 TONS while last
year it was Isl tons, the decrease be-
ing 5SO4l tons, or As per cent. In the
nine months this year we exported "a
per cent. of our production and retained
in the country 1856 tons; while last
year we exported 63 per cent of the out

BASIN g. BAY STATE
THE COMPANY NOW SEES ITS WAY
CLEAR TO DO BUSINESS.
INDEBTEDNESS BEING PAID
I.itiration With Glass Brothers and
Others Has Been a Great Handi-
cap to the Operation Of
Its Property.

f. w. Beattie, Jr, of Springfield
Mass, formerly an attorney for the
Anaconda company in this city, has
been in Boulder this week looking after
the affairs of the Basin 4 Bay state
Mining company, which has been
tangled up in lawsuits during the last
two or three years.
The property of the Company is located
at Basin. A few years ago the Glass
brothers Of Basin interested Eastern
capital in the Katie mine and COM
pany sprang from it. A good mill was
built to treat the ore, but after it had
been running short time it caught fire
and burned to the ground. The insur-
ance on it was small: not sufficient
in fact to replace it. The Glasses then
prevailed upon the Eastern sharehold-
ers to build a larger mill and a smelter
in connection with it. The work was
undertaken, but after about $500. 900 had
been expended the Eastern men became
dissat isfied with the mana cement Of the
Glasses and deposed them. The works
We're not finished at that time and there
existed some Indebtedness against the

drawn all calculations were based ON a
daily mine output of Is tons and a TO-
day teaching Of the pulp. Five stamps
We're installed, and tanks with a capAt-
lty OF l5O tons. Practical demonstrations
showed that owing to the peculiarly fri
able character of the ore the stamps
could crush from 25 to So tons daily to
the desired mesh. Thus three things
were disco cred: First, that the tank ca
pacity was not great enough to handle
the pulp when the stamps were worked
full time; second, that the patent ANAL
gamator was too small and not suited to
handle so great a rush of pulp: and.
third. that the character Of the ore had
changed smewhat. and that 1t was
feasible to save more gold by amalga-
nation than at first was thought posi-

is the most experienced cyanide man in
this part OF the country, quickly detected
that the trouble lay not with the pro-
cess or with refractory feature in the
ore. but simply in the length of time al
lowed for teaching. In other words. tn%
Shafter boys, overjoyed and elated at the
quantity of ore the mine could turn out
and the crushing part of the mill handle,
had tried to rush things.
Acting upon the advice of Mr.. Turner.
the mill is run internationally and only
so long as is necessary to keep the tanks
filed the teaching is carried on longer.
and the exchequer OF the company is
feeling beneficent results.
The Madisonian does not wish to state
as positive fact that the plate saving
more than pays the actual expenses OF
the plant, but the reporter inferred from
what was told him that such was the
case, and he has every reason for belieN-
ing his inference to be correct.
AS to the mine itself, it is looking en-
ceptionally WE'LL When the mill was con-
tracted for a sampling CT the mine
showed the average value to be in the
neighborhood of 81 per ton. More recent
DEVELOPMENT shows that there is less
$40 ore than there is SIS, and. almost as
much worth $40 per ton as there is worth
$l5 What more need be sad? The ore
is there the values are there, and the
values are being saved. --t =aJu4

Hon. Joel L. Crisp. who is Senator

REPRESENTATIVE L. L. SMITH, OF

Hon. L. L. Smith, member of the House
from Gates, is a native of that county
and has long been leader in the politi-
cal and legal life of the first district. He
enjoyed an exceptional education and ad-
vantages and graduated with honors at
Rudolph Macon College. He was a mem
Der of the House of Representatives of
1895 and one of that band Of resourceful
and able men who sowed the seed for the
Democratic harvest which was reaped
in 1898. In 1896 Mr.. Smith was Demo-
cratic candidate for State Senator, but
went down under the cyclone that de-
feated all the Democrats that year. He
was elected in 1900 to the House by
large majority He ranked among the
ablest men of that body. Mr.. Smith was
deeply interested in carrying out the
constitutional mandate and the Demo-
cratic pledge for four months school for

until 1872 when he removed to Lees
Mill (now Roper to take charge of a
water power which he and his father
purchased in that place. In October,
1880 he married Miss Ida Hard lonI
daughter of William A. Hardison, who
was, at the beginning of the war between
the States and many years prior thereto,
post master at Plymouth. Mr. Blount re-
ceived only such scant education as the
country schools of the days just after
the war afforded He taught in the pub
lie schools several years. He was JUS
tice of the Peace twenty years and three
times a member of the County Board
of Education and chairman of that body
until elected to the House. In 1898 he
was chairman of the Democratic COM
mittee in Washington county and cut the
fusion majority in half. He is still coun-
ty chairman and one of the best in the
State. Washington county did not elect
full Democratic ticket in forty years
until 1900, when every Democrat on the
county ticket was elected by majority
of about five hundred, after a strenuous
fight. Mr.. Blount has always resided
in Washington county, his home is now
within four miles of the place where his
people resided two hundred years ago.
There are strong circumstances going
to show that the water power, which he
owns, was first developed by Capt. Thos.
Blount in 1903. Boards for flooring the
church at Edenton were sent from this
mill in ITO. (See Colonial Records

which finally passed was due largely to
his persistent advocacy of this policy. His
speech in favor of impeachment was
one of the best speeches delivered dur
ing the session. Mr.. Smith is leading
member of the Methodist church, and
has represented his church often in its
conferences. He served on the follow
ing committees; Judiciary, Education,
Bans and Currency. Corporations, and
others. He was chairman of the Com
mittee on Internal Improvements.
Mr.. Smith was licensed to practice law
in 1876. At the time Judge Brown was
appointed Superior court judge Mr.. Smith
was endorsed for the appointment by
nearly all the bar on the north side of
