Ladd Company's Patent
Plant at Mineral Goal
Will be Used.

Word reached Weiser this week
that the Ladd Metals Company, (which
is operating near Mineral, has
about completed the new smelter be-
ing built on the patent OF the I'M
proved Mineral Smelling Company,
and will have it blown in by March
15.
The plant is to be of so tons
capacity and will be the first Of its
kind In operation since the test
was made at Oswego and that plant
dismantled. The Ladd people have
secured the right to erect five plants
throughout the west of 100 tons
capacity, but this is the first they
have undertaken. Much interest is
being manifested in the success of
the new smelter as proof of its
practicabilIty will cause great
change In the smelling world, and
will very materially reduce the cost
of treatment. 1t is contended by the
inventors of the furnace that ore
which costs 81 80 for smelling can
be handled by their process for less
than 81. so per ton, Coal is the fuel
used and its cheapness over coke is
an important factor.

The Mineral correspondent to the
Huntington Herald tells of opera
tions at the famous old camp in the
following:
Under the present management of
the mines and smelter, work in all
departments continues in way that
argues we'll for the future of the
camp. Mr.. Williams has shown
himself to be master of the situation.
Under his supervision the smelter
has been improved in several re-
spects and is now running under bet-
ter conditions than ever before.
The method of carrying away the
Stag from the furnace by means of a
stream of water Is entirely success
full, and the Stag which crumbles in
to gravel-like condition serves as
an admirable material for improving
the roads.

Ten Years in the Pen.

VIM. Rookie, the Idaho county
stock rustler. was convicted at Grange
vile and sentenced to ten years in
the pen.
The trial has been one of unusual
interest. Rookie, who has resided in
Idaho county since es--ly boyhood, was
arrested last year ION the charge of
stealing several head of horses, which
we're shipped from Sites. The
horses were driven over Camas prairie
and the boldness of the affair brought
Rookie into much prominence through
out the country. He was arrested in
Spokane. During the last term of
court, while he was being taken from
Grangeville to Mt Idaho, where the
county Jail was then located, he sue
ceeded in escaping from the officer
in charge and was not captured for
several weeks. Several similar
charges we're pending against him,
but the others have now been con-
tinued for the term. Rookie is the
son of old and respected parents who
reside near Grangeville.

Mrs. E. ! Bell, 213 Walworth

has gained over a pound week
since she began taking Mi-o-na. Her
appetite is good and she enjoys her
food very much. Her face and limbs
are filling out, and she has a good
color. She has also regained her
spirits, while she used to be so
melancholy that 1 thought at times
she would lose her mind. For a
long while she was quite weak and
her nerves so shattered that she had
convulsions and could not sleep at
night. Now since taking Mi-o-na she
sleeps right throught the night until
morning and has gained greatly in
strength.
Few medicines have as many
friends in Great Bend as Mi-o-na.
Hooper Drug Co. has the local
agency for this preparation. A box
of these tablets costs but 20c, and
this amount will cure the average
dyspeptic and fill out the wasted

MISS MAS0N'S ''SAPHO"
Her Portrayal of Love and Then Hate
Could not Have Been Surpassed.

From the Albuquerque Daily Citizen. Nov. ?.
Lillian Mason's passion scene just
before the curtain drops in the third
act of "Sapho'' as given last night at
the Elk's Opera House, is deserving
of the highest praise. The woman
seems lifted from her real self and is
thrown into the character with force
and feeling that is intensely facinat-
ing and is almost beyond words to
describe. She SCENE as if in a spell,
while she pleads to her lover, uncon-
scious of the footlights and the audi
ence, and then changes into an agony
of hate and passion of anger, like a
flash, as the big green monster, Jeal-
ousy, grapples hold of her, heart and
soul, still unconscious of anything but
the execution of the scene and the fol
lowing of the lines.
The piece is not put on by the Lii
lian Mason companylike it was staged
and made famous few years ago by
Olga Nethersole, and when, although a
great success, it was severly CEN
sured for its immortality.
AS presented last night, "Sapho"
carries with it moral lesson, and is
deserving of commendation.
Several other members of the COM
pany developed favor lastnight, among
them Miss Antoinette Davis, who ap-
peared as Francine, very lively at
tendant of Sapho's household.
Several live specialties whiled away
the intermissions between acts.
