The HydrO=CarbOn Smelter
A Complete Success.

Mr. Erwin D. Treadwen reports that the
final trial run of the .Hydro-Carbon smelt-
er recently erected by the GEORGE A
TREADWELL MINING COMPANY at
Mayer, Arizona, has been a complete sue
cess The smelter is now ready for bus
mess and will be started on it's work as
soon as the arrangements now being COM
pleted for the economical transportation
of the ores from the mine and the handling
OF them at the Smelter are perfected.
Mr.. George H. Benjamin. the famous
patent lawyer, mechanical engineer and
SmeIter expert, says the Hydro carbon
smelter is A LONG STEP FORWARD IN
THE ART. It saves at least fifty per cent
IN cost Of fuel, besides the great saving in
labor. The TREADWELL COMPANY
owns half the smelter patents, having in
this respect very great advantage over
its competitors.

MINNEAPOLIS.

Mtnneapolis-Th week opened with the
bear element more in evidence than for
some time, and the bulls who had con-
trolled the. pit for fortnight, doing lit
tie but wait. 1t was no time to be bull
ish, for the principal local incentive to
builiShneSS was gone. Rains We're re-
ported all over the Northwest, and the
dry weather talk was missing. September
wheat, having closed Saturday INC off
from Friday at. 1850. was off another
cent at the opening to 757sc, nor was this
the end of the weakness, for selling out of
long wheat continued until September. on
scratch sale, struck 75c. This was 31kc
the bulls thought. No possible doubt ex-
listed as to the rains, and the wide extent
Of territory covered The question was
as to how heavy they had been, whether
relief had been general or whether there
was not the prospect of a clearing up
hot and dry and a. renewal of the dry
market was there was not the slightest
early evidence Of decentralization and it
was evident that many of the larger hold
ers did not take the reported rain relief
too seriously, and were disposed to hold
on in the belief that there will be further
dry weather talk later in the week, and
renewed buying interest.
Meanwhile the bears pointed to the fact
that at the close on Saturday Minneapolis
prices were UP Sc to SC compared with
June l. Chicago prices up about TIC, ST.
Louis up 10c to 12c and New York about
&c higher. Hence the argument. that aft
er long period of advances there should
now come long period of slow decline.
This appeared to be the view entertained
by many smaller holders who sold out
That decline is to come may be the cor
rect inference to draw, and 1t may be
that prices are to drag lower Yet to go
ahead on the assumption that because
prices are on a level materially higher
than that of June /. they must neces-
sarily decline, might be little dangerous
at least until the crop situation is more
clearly defined
Minneapolis received 27s cars against
market rallied more than a cent towards
the close. and September closed at 76ff1c

HARRY LEHR SCOLDS A WOMAN.
Tells Her ir She Were "A Man He Would
Take Her Camera Away From Her.

NEWPORT, r. l., July lO.--Harry Lehr
was again brought into prominence this
afternoon on the avenue In controversy
he had with two women who had been In
discreet enough to point camera at him.
The incident occurred during the fashion
able driving hour and attracted the atten-
ton Of large crowd who seemed to be In
sympathy with the women.
Two women, fashionahly dressed. we're
driving down the avenue in an open carriage.
In order to enjoy the sights the horse was
driven slowly, and one Of the women was
armed with a camera, taking snapshots
at whatever struck her fancy.
Just below the Casino they saw fashion,
able trip coming up the avenue, and the
woman with the camera decided that 1t
would be nics to have a picture Of one OF
the smart trf p for which Newport II noted.
She had no idea who was in the trap,
and it probably would have made no diff
ference if she had, and she proceeded to
get the camera ready for u picture.
The driver Of their horse was told to
drive slowly and the fashionable trap came
on. As it came abreast Of the carriage the
woman pointed her camera at the occu-
pants of the trap, who proved to be Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Lehr, and pressed the
button.
Mr.. Lehr saw what had been done and
he was up in arms at once. He called to
his driver to stop, and jumping from his
trap ran to the team occupied by the women
and began to expostulate with them for
daring to take his picture.
"You have no right to do that. do not
want my picture taken. IL you were q
man. said Mr.. Lehr to the woman, Il
would take the camera away from you
and have it examined to see If my picture
Is inside
The woman told him that he might be
little more civil about the matter, to which
Mr. Iehr replied that she would not be
civil il she were constantly being ammo yed
Ivy camera fends. He asked her what
kind Of picture she had and she told him
that it probably was not a very good one.
as she was an amateur.
With this Mr.. Lehr reentered his trap.
ard drove of, while the woman with the
camera went on her way.
