Another Smeiter for Idaho

Emmett: An eastern smelter syndi-
cate is interested in building a smel;er
near Marsh. Representatives of the
company have visited the upper coun-
try and site has bean decided upon.
This syndicate has been figuring on
| the proposition and has sent men here
to look over the country.
The smelter will occupy a tract of
thirty acres between Marsh and Horse
shoe Bend. The smelter will have a
capacity Of handling about 500 tons of
TO 800 or 400 men.
DR. r. c. Plat, of Marsh who is well
informed on the matter and who has
been in constant communication with
the syndicate men. says that in all
probability bucket tramway will be
built from the smelter to Pearl In this
case nearly all the gold mines at Pearl
would send their concentrates by tram
way to the smelter
The smelter will not be great dist
ance from the Horseshoe Bend district
where the United Mines company and
Other companies have mining proper
ties and are working them. AT present
the United Mines are shipping about
two car loads of concentrates every
week from Emmett to Mackay.
A smelter near Marsh, means that
millions of dollars of gold bullion will
be haulted to Emmett by stage or by
frelghters every year. From here the
gold will be shipped to different parts
of the United States.
A meeting of representatives of the
smelter syndicate and a number of
pennsylvania men will shortly be held
in Boise. Later. officials of the syndi-
cate will visit the site Of the proposed
smelter.

among other strange Asiatic races,
about two millions of Kalmucks.
The Kalmucks. like the many Tar

Enthusiastically Mongolian than even
the Tartars and they present types Of
feature that are almost Chinese.
They have slanting, slit-ehaped
eyes, high cheekbones and straight,
coarse. coal black hair.
They are lazy and inclined to lie
cruel. Their lack of honesty has been
made the subject of many Russian
proverbs. They do not care for in
dustries of any kind, and when Trey
can manage it, they remain herders all
their lives.
There have been some shining ex-
ceptions. however: and these excep-
tions prove that the Kalmucks are
capable of Improvement. Among
other things that have been done by
such Kalmucks as have been induced
to go TO school, is the creation of a
lithographing establishment in Astra-

other matters are produced in tx
