Der four Connersville blower, and the
tuyeres are fitted for both hot and
cold blasts as necessity may require.
An elevator from the ground floor to
the charge floor is operated by steam
pressure. The plant is lighted by
electricity, furnished by a small dy-
namo in the engine room.
A noteworthy ffature Of the smelter
is brick hue to conduct away the

by an inverted elbow, or "goose
neck, which conveys the smoke to a
vertical height of ss feet, where the
fumes are received into a boiler iron
stack four and one-half feet in diam
eter and 40 feet high. The brick and
lime for the entire plant was manu-
fatured on the ground. Chas Tut is
manager Of the rakilma Smelling
Company and closely associated with
him are X. Il. Batbett, J. A. Hull and
other prominent mining men.
The Queen Of Bronze mine, owned
by Mr.. Tut, has furnished most Of
the ore that is being smelted at pres
ent The ore is chalcopyrite carry
ing gold and silver values, as we'll as
copper. The ore deposit or vein is
from 10 to 20 feet wide on contact
Of serpontine and diorite. On the
south end Of the claim shoot of ore
20 feet wide is developed to depth
OF go feet, On the porth end the vein
is cut in two places and has an aver.
age width Of 2S feet. A 6OO.foot Cross
cut tunnel is being driven. which is
now about half finished, and will cut
the vein at a depth Of 287 feet.

Tho "copper" belt" of Southern Ore
gon is a strip about % miles wide
and extending north and south along
the western borders Of Josephine
county. While the majority of mines
thus far developed are confined to the
Waldo district, a strip so miles in
length and in the more southern part
Of the county, several good ledges are
being developed on an extension Of
the same belt farther north. These
are on Slate Greek and Galice Greek,
and good claims are found as far
north az Riddle, Douglas county.
There are eight or nine well de-
veloped copper mines in the Waldo
district. The largest and best de-
yeloped OF these are owned BY the
Waldo Smelling & Mining Company.
These properties are ready to begin
work at any time, but on account Of
mountain country that lie between
them and Grants Pass, the nearest
railroad point, they are practically
idle and are resting on their oars, I"
so to speak. However. a company
known as the California & Oregon
Coast Railroad incorporation, and
composed Of some Of the same people
as are interested in the mines of the
Waldo Smelling & Mining Company,
has been organized and propose to
build railroad from Grants Pass to
Eureka, Cal. The survey mas been
and a right Of way secured.
The road will pass within five miles
OF the Waldo mines, and the latter
will be reached by spur from the
main line, The Waldo Smelling &
Mining Company has expended about
$3.50, 900 in the development and equip.
ment Of their mines.

The ledges Of the Southern Oregon
copper belt compare fayorably with
the best copper mines in the world
They range in width from three to
l60 feet. Values arc carried In both
gold and copper on an average Of from
sS to $50 in the two metals. Just this
past August the Takilma Smelling
Company completed l0O.ton smelling
plant at Takilma for the Waldo
copper mines and the blowing in of
this plant marked an important epoch
In the history Of Southern Oregon 3
mining industry.
The furnace is of the standard water
jacket type, dimensions 40x02 inches
at the tuyeres, representing maxi.
mum capacity of 200 tons of ore per
day Of "a hours, but by banking the
fires, AZ at present, it can be made to
handle as little as may be desired.
That 1t can easily do what is expected
of 10 is indicated from the fact that
at the very commencement of oper-
tions 1t handled 10 ono-ton charges
per hour, the product being matte
containing about 40 per cont copper,
besides gold and silver values which
are very satisfactory.
The furnace was built by the Holt.
hoff Machinery Company of Cud.
ahy, Wisconsin, and its erection
was superintendent by Mr.. A. l.
Goodoll, an experienced smolter
man, now manager Of tho big smolt.
ing plant of the Lo Roi Company at
Northport, Washington. The present
manager Of the smeltor is Mr.. L. W.
Walters, good executive as we'll as
capable and experienced metallurgist
The blast is furnished from mum.

Waldo Smelling and Mining Company,
is also furnishing ore for the smell
ter. This ore carries good values and
contains from 10 to IL per cent mag.
nesia, factor which renders the use
OF additional lime unnecessary In the
smelling charge, The ore from these
two mines, mixed, makes one of the
easiest ores to smelt that any district
can produce, as the ore from the
Queen of Bronze carries the necessary
silioi, in addition to magnetic
iron ore which also carries gold and
silver values hence the ores of this
district arc practically neutral in
character The fuel used is coke, OF
which 1t requires about 15O pounds to
the ton charge.
The Cowboy claim has been devel-
oped to depth of about 60 feet. A
tunnel already 400 feet long is being
run, which will onon up the ore body
Slu ltel uoop
Another promising group is the
Mabel and Copper King claims, which
have been developed by shaft to a
depth of 81 feet, showing 5-foot
vein Of good values.
On the Lyttlo claim, one of the
Waldo Smelling and Mining Compa.
ny's group,a tunnel was driven which
developed the vein 100 feet in depth,
showing an ore body "a feet wide by
30 feet long A tunnel is also being
driven hore, which is now in 500 feet,
aud designed to encounter the vein at
about 100 feet greater depth than tho
upper works, a 2O0O.foot gravity
tram will be built to deliver the ore
from this lower tunnel to point
near the smoltcr.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-10-23

Probably one of the most remarkable modern changes in the planning of im- portant public and private buildings Is
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-10-23

the production of clay and plaster mod els reproducing the plan of the architect on a small scale exactly as it will look when the building is finished. The mod els serve large number of purposes and vary from a single structure, such as the miniature one-story models which the New York architects, York and Sawyer, are now using as preliminary to the ere ation of the new type of bank building which they have lately planned for seV- eral different cities, to such comprehen- sive models as those of the temples Of Solomon and Herod, which have been made by Dr. Conrad ScnieK, a German archaeologist resident in Jerusalem, and are now on exhibition in the Harvard Semitic Museum at Cambridge. They are based of course, on careful architectural drawings and the model maker builds in clay as complete a structure externally, as if he were realizing the plans for &C., tual human occupancy. Aside from their educational value in the reproduction of ancient buildings, the use of these mod els as preparatory to the erection of mod day an opportunity to do quickly what his predecessors in the craft accomplish ed more slowly. The model often sug- gests changes in detail to the architect that he would not otherwise have thought of until the walls of the build ing were actually rising-a condition that the builders of the great mediaeval ca- thedrals, for example, met by changing their work while 1t was still In process of actual construction

Jerome Lives In the Sums.

It Is a fact not generally known out side of New York that District Attorney Jerome has for over two years been a resident of the lower east side and has made his home literally in the slums of New York MT. Jerome made his home n the east side imme lately after he look office in 1902, in fulfillment 1f a promise made during his campaign to live there until "DeyeryisnR and the Red Light district were wiped out When the campaign pledge was fulfilled many peo- ple were astonished. fo. Mir. Jerome had comfortable house iu the fashionable residence district and was fully able to maintain the establishment He is also q member of a number of popular clubs and was well known in society. He studied the conditions of the east side from the view of a resident and his home became famous among his neighbors, who called upon him for all sorts of favors and all sorts of purposes, and he and a number of his assistants were ire euently called out of bed at all hours oy people who were in trouble and sought the assistance of the district attorney. Mr. Jerome, when life In the east side grew tiresome, would go to Lakeville. Conn., where he has a country home and complete shops where he Is fond of mak- ing experiments in the line of mechanics. Mr. Jeromes hospitality to his friends of the press at his Rutgers street home will not be easily forgotten and many good stories first saw the light within it's walls

"Al" Adams Released.

After serving one and a half yeras in Sing Sing prison "Al' Adams, "the Pol icy King" has been released and has re- turned to New York. His conviction and confinement were bitterly fought at every stage and his vast wealth proved of no avail when the final test came When he was sent to prison his wealth was estimated at several millionhs and the wisdom of his financial foresight has been demonstrated in that his real estate holdings in many instances have doubled in value Reports differ regarding his present physical condition. but it is a well known fact that he was very sick man when he went to prison and he has spent much of his time in the hospital ward The rigorous discipline, plain food and compulsory rest have quite probably of more or less benefit To the title of Policy King Adams will probably never have a successor, for he brought his system to a degree of perfection that was little short of marvellous anu his agents and tools were numbered by thou sands, and every policy shop in New York paid tribute to him in the hour of his supremacy.

Valuable Silver Dollar.

Eleven hundred dollars is a pretty good price to pay for a silver dollar, which will only buy one dollars worth of mer- chandse, but silver dollar of 1894, known as the Dexter dollar, brought this price at auction at the Collectors club few days ago. The purchaser was W. F. Durham, a druggist of Chicago, and the coin was the most valuable in the collection of H. c. Brown of Portland, Ore, which was on sale. There are only thirteen dollars of the date of 1894 known to be in existence. and the particular coin which was sold last week was pre- viously sold in May, 1885, to J. D. Dexter for one thousand dollars, and in that way became known as the Dexter Dollar. Numismatic authorities differ as to the authenticity of all these 1894 silver dol- lars, and it is claimed that 1t is a well established fact that no dollars were coined by the United States in 1894, and those bearing this date are being char itably designated as ''restrikes" and were undoubtedly struck since steam coinage was invented or from 1886 to 1860. These authorities who question the authenticity of 1894 dollars go so far as to declare that the ones in the Philadelphia mint col lection are obviously modern frauds, and any and all so-called 1894 dollars that have ever turned up cannot be traced or authenticated. There Is also no doubt 1t is claimed, that the so-called dollars were at no time connected with the reg ular United States coinage, nor were they legally issued as dollars at any time. Some were struck at the mint in about the year 1860, through the political influence of certain noted coin collectors of that period, but the coinage created such disturbance that most of them were returned to the government, but there is no evidence that they were ever destroyed
