New Process for Sme1ting Copper.

News comes from Butte of new process of smelling that is expect ed to enable even one per cent. ore to be mined at Il profit. The in- ventor of the new process is a south Carolina man whose identity is not disclosed. but Herman c. Bellinger Il well known metallurgist and smclter man, who made an exam nation and test of the invention, declares that by it ores that con tain one per cent. copper can be smclted at profit. The cost of smelting is about eight cents per poand of copper. By the new svs- tenn the ore will be smelted with the heat contained within itself, and little or no fuel and very little water will be necessary. Mir. Bellinger, who was formerly chief metallurgi-t for F. Augustus Heinze. is now engaged in building smelt- ing plant of his own near Victoria on Vancouver Island. and will install the new process there.- American Mining News.

VALDEZ, JUNE l2, 1902.

w believe that the Pacific Pack ing & Navigation Co.,, is making Il serious mistake in not patronizing the Valdez Dock &sWarehousc Co.,, by having its steamers land at their wharf. It does not seem right or proper that passengers should be landed from the steamers in small boat onto d muddy beach, when there is a wharf at which they could be landed.
 The people of Valdez endeavored for three years to induce the steam ship companies to build a wharf here, but were unable to do so. A few months ago d few of our priv ate citizens interested themselves in this matter, organized a com pany and finally completed a wharf that any ocean going vessel can land at. It is with great. sratifi- cation that our merchants and citi- zcns saw this wharf completed, and every steamship line running here. should patronize it. It is an enter prise owned and controlled hyspri- va,e parties, and in patronizing it, they really patronize the town of Valdez, by encouraging and helping one of its private enterprises.
 The time has arrived. when the steamship companies should do something for our town. It is true they have run lines of steamers here, but they have charged high freight and passenger rates, and have made vast sums of money. Not satisfied .with this. one line, the Alaska Commercial Co.,, en- dcavored for many months to in- jure the town by starting an oppo- sition town at Swanport, building a wharf there and urging their passengers to land at that place instead of here.
 Now if these companies want to show their good will to the town. and their appreciation of past busi- ness, let them come to the front and help encourage our merchants and peoplesbyipatronizing our in dus,ries and assisting Us in estab- fishing Valdez on SSa Efrm basis. Patronize our wharf; give our saw mill such rates that they can ship their lumber to the westward and compete with Seattle prices; give the merchants their goods as soon as possible after arriving in port, and help us in every possible way to induce the railroad to start from the town of Valdez. Give us good boats, good treatment and liberal rates.

CONGRESSMAN Cushman has in troduced a bill in congress to give the United States Commissioners at least 5000 a year, whether the fees of the office amount to that sum or not, but allowing them S4,OO0 year if the fees of the office amount to that sum. This in- sures every commissioner at least $2,OO0 d year. Now some pro vision should be made to allow the deputy United States Marshals d regular salary. It is almost inn possible for these officers in many places to make living on the fees of their office without doing some grating.

Valdez This is the only feasib C place on the bay for railroad Co start from. It would he much more of sssn inducemsnt for rail- road to build from this place if, when they come here they see well built houses. clean graded streets, painted buildings, telephone and telegraph lines, wharves, electric lights, and general air of activity and prosperity, rather than a retro grade movement and deferring of improvements and the settling down into a state of lethargy. It is a mistaken idea to wait and see what the railroad will do. Get in spend some money in improvements and that will help to make Valdez the starting point for the road.
 THAT Senator A. G. Foster of Washington, is interested in Alaska legislation is shown by the follow ing extract from Il letter to the editor of the pRosPE,ToR.
 "The various Alaskan bills be- fore Congress have received my attention from time to time. feel that we have so many people in Alaska who are interested also di- rectly or indirectly in Washington that it is right and proper to give attention to all the legislation that interests you. Therefore it has been a source of pleasure to me to endeavor to advance meritorious Alaskan legislation during this and previous sessions of Congress. and l assure you that l shall continue to do so in the future"
 Il shall always be glad to hear from you with reference to the various matters in which your people are interested. MT. Oscar Fish has been here for some time and has interested himself actively in all Alaskan matters and all AL askan legislation"

TIE people of Valdez will be glad to welcome Judge Wickersham and the other court officials to this place. This is the proper location for. the seat of government for this division of the district and this fact will be realized when these officials arrive here if they do not already realize it. Jndge Wickersham has made many friends in Alaska, and especially in Nome where he has occupied the bench for several months past, by his honesty, intcg- rity and fidelity to his high office, as well as by his private life, and it will be with regret that the people of Nome part with him.

May Postpone Civil Court.

The epidemic of smallpox at Mt
Carmel seems to be the sole topic of
discussion in Sunbury at present, and
the Sunbury Board of Health are on
the alert to prevent that city from
having another siege Of the dread dis
ease. 1t was plainly noticeable at the
convention held at the Sunbury court
house on Monday, that the citizens
paid heed TO the warning issued by
the Board of Health, for outside of
the delegates very few Sunbury pco-
pie attended the meeting. The dele
gates from Mt Carmel and others from
that place who We're present wore lit
tie red bows on their arms showing
that they had been vaccinated They
had everything their own way, not be
ing crowded i'll the least.
As the next term of civil court
which cOnvenes in Sunbury next Mon
day. has more than the usual num-
Der of cases from Mt Carmel it is
likely that Judge Savidge will post
ponc this session until Monday, May
10. This action has not as yet been
definitely decided upon but Judges
Savidge and Auten will meet some
time today, and after discussing the
matter decide whether this Is not the
proper measure to pursue. If the cpl
demic should continue and the mum
ber of cases Of the disease increase
