The great absorbing question Of tho
hour seems to be that Of commercial
education, commercial advancement and
most efficient and promising work Ia
now being done throughout the entire
country In the direction of securing q.
federal department Of commerce, with
a secretary. who shall be ~ member Of
the presidents cabinet.
The influence most active In promut-
ing this measure Is inquest ionably
practical and powerful, and so IL should
be. The problem of commercial educa.
ton is one OF vast Importance and the
movement to establish a federal depart
ment of commerce should meet with tho
hearty Endorsement of all Americans.
But mining for gold occupies the unique
position among the business industries
Of the world of being the one form of
production where the customer seeks tho
producer. where there Is no "over-pro-
duction" or wan, of consumption"
Y here the same price prevails as did
30 years ago. and where conditions
make It impossible for any combination
TO control It's price or volume Of output.

the precious metals Is an aspiration In
spired by the highest patriotic and In
dustrial sentiment, strengthened by the
fact that during the year 1900 our min
efal products, metallic ana non metallic,
reached the enormous sum Of 81 ,O7O-
1O8,889, 500. 900 more than in 1899, or
twice as much as In 1894. Certainly 1t
would seem that the mining industry OF

there would be no hestancy on the part

has an oily smell that makes one look
about and be careful not to lean against
the walls for fear of grease spots on the
clothes.
In this room there are IL Sterling boil
ers, each of 600 horse power. To the
man who passes up and down in front
of them hour after hour each day, they
are very ordinary looking. but they are

feed the rapacious mains with coal are
well aware. There Is no time to waste

While walking about through and be-

1t comes from "calcine' and these cars

1t Is not for me to take up and dis
cuss in whole or in part the scientific
side of mining. This duty belongs to the
scientific man, and when he shall have
solved the problem necessary to the COR
rect economic treatment of all classes Of
our precious metal ores, he, like the
prospector, will have rendered humanity
a lasting service. The prospector has
proved the value of his energy and abil-
ity in discovering the ores, the miner
in producing them, and 1t Is now for the
scientific man to solve the proper econo-
mic method by which they shall be
treated at a profit to the producer
Regarding precious metal ores, how
profitably to extract the gold Is every
where the most important question to
gold miners. The many tons Of ore re-
jected and the few accepted, because of
low grade or refractory character, Is Of
all universal application. In fact, per-
haps not one-fourth of the valuable gold
bearing substance is utilized. There are
districts, and many of them, situated
amidst every facility for cheap
and successful work, demonstrated
to contain from one-quarter TO
one ounce of gold and even
more, which have never yielded any,
thing commercially. Mining sections
everywhere are filed with monuments Of
ruined hopes Of owners by the failure to
profitaby work their ores. There must
be remedy for all this lost waste, great
and small, and to arrive at a correct So
luton of the problem of how to treat AMI
proftably save these values, was one of
the incentives that actuated the organi-
zation of the International Mining con-
gress.
Wealth of Nation.
The real wealth of a nation Is that
which Is won from the soil: separate
this wealth from the proper means OF
distribution, and 1t becomes almost as
useless to the country at large as the
gold lying scattered among the sands
of our river beds, and while we all
recognize the fact that commercial and
manufacturing centers are intellectual
centers II must not be forgotten that it
is the raw materials that make q suc-

Will Increase with the new production OF

ages
is 1t not then time that not alone the
prospector and miner, but all good eiti-
zens, regardless Of what their calling
may be, should demand, rather than beg
that the same liberal policy be extended
by our government 10 the miner, as to
the man who digs potatoes or raises
cereals, or garden grass on the surface?
Is 1t not time in the interests of tho
people To treat this great question of
mining from statesmanS and not a
politicians point of view?
Is 1t not wise, especially at this time,
when SO much depends upon the pros

Anaconda, May 10.-Much has been
printed about the largest smelters in
the world, the Washoe plant at Ana
conda, but there is still and will be for
years to come, much that Is new, inter-
esting and instructive to the people at
large. even to that portion of them living
within sight of the smoke from its enor-
nous stacks.
It takes time for the stranger to go
through the different buildings and
gather an intelligent idea of what Is go
ing on about him. If the sightseer be
pressed for time, 1t Is but the magni-
tude of the enterprise that first appears.
After entering the buildings ii is the
newness of the scene, the rush of the be-
grimed and sweating workmen the crash
OF machinery. the lodging hither and
thither to get out of harms way, that
absorbs his attention. He has no time
to stop and consider that he is witness
ing but minute portion of the immense
work that Is being carried on day after
day
For this reason 1t is possible to get
matter from the great smelters in the
way of pictures that are practically new
to all but the men who are associated In
the different parts of the smelter all the
time, and even they, as rule. enjoy
seeing in print a description or pic
ture of the machinery or such, that they
handle every day.
Difficulties of Photography.
The new smelling plant is located in
such@a manner as to make 1t extremely
difficult for the average kodak fiend to
get a picture of the entire works. II it
is taken from any place except in the
valley north, the background Is the prln-
cpal thing to be seen. In taking one
from the valley the great trouble is in
finding a position from which every
building can be seen.
The accompanying brdseye view Of the
smelters, taken by +. L. Marcy, an en-
ploy of the company, Is one of the best
pictures Of the entire plant that has ever
been obtained. 1t shows distinctly the
two rever beratory buildings, the con-
verters. the concentrator and power
house. blast furnaces and in fact every
large building on the hill.

that the most striking picture hanging
upon the walls of American hopes for

In single year means a vast deal 10 the
