Permanent Quarters.

A plan has been placed on foot
by the directors Of the American
Mining Congress which held a
meeting in Denver a few days
ago, to erect a handsome and
commodious building at that point
where the offices Of the associa-
tion will be permanently located,
together with a large mineral
display. A number Of the prom
inent mining men and operators
who have not allied themselves
with the association heretofore,
are in favor Of the project. At
the meeting recently held there
a number of questions pertaining
to the needs of the Congress and
the industry it represents were
discussed. The next national
convention will be held in Ell
PasO, Texas, Nov. IA, 1905.

REPLY TO MAJ. FENN
AS to the Proposed Shoshone Reserve
Public is Opposed

To the Tribune: In reply to
Major Fem, superintendent of
forest reserves, relative to the
proposed Shoshone reserve, it
might be said, in considering the
pros and cons of any question Of
public interest, that it is invar-
iably shown that the writer is
apt to display a disposition to al
low selfish motive to enter into
his deliberations which leaves the
question open for further discus
sion and criticism by others who
generally succeed no better be-
cause human nature is so con-
structed that selfish interest is
apt to breed prejudice.
In discussing this issue there
are many questions raised by
Major Fem which do not seem
to be consistent. In the flrSt
place he regrets that the people
should voice their sentiments as
to what they think is right, but
when the people are unanimous
they are invariably right. Such
has been the case in this protest
against the creation Of a vast
forest reserve such as would take
practically all available lands yet
to be had for settlement either
by homestead or timber and stone
locations in northern Idaho, there
by retarding the development Of
the country. Any country with
drawn from the people if done
excessively is detrimental. L

Copper Production.

The Amalgamated Copper Co.
produced copper during March at
the rate of 65O,0OO pounds per
day. During February the total
production at the Washoe smell
ter exceeded 100000 pounds,
but during the first week of
March the production averaged
428,572 pounds per day. During
the first twenty-five days the
Washoe output was 10, TIA, 300
pounds. The smelter treated
1000 tons of Butte ore daily which
went over siXty-one pounds of
copper to the ton. The Amalga-
mated company treats 5000 tons
daily at the Boston & Montana
smelter at Great Falls, and 600
tons day at the Butte & Boston
smelter at Butte. The Boston &
Montana ore averages higher in
values than the ores treated at
the Washoe, but taking the same
yield of copper per ton the total
daily production Of the Amalga-
mated company would reach GAS, :
172 pounds per day, or total for
March of 20, ,O93, 332 pounds. At
Is cents the daily value of the
Amalgamated output is $97, ,225. 70
In addition, ore yields gold, sill
yer, arsenic, etc. The average
in recent years for gold and silver
was 2 IA cents for each pound
of copper produced, and it has
been estimated that the bi-pro-
ducts about pay for operating eX-
penses and cost Of production.
The capacity of the Washoe smell
ter at Anaconda is being increas-
ed, and in three months it has
been raised from $500 tons Of ore
daily to 1000. The smelter treats
daily 1000 tons of ore, $50 tons
of coal, 400 tons of coke and 150C
tons of lime rock. A year age
much of the ore that is now be-
ing treated at a profit was left ir
the mines as waste. Since the
first Of the year eight roasterS
have been added to the plant
and the last Of the small rever
batory furnaces has been tori
down, and six new ones are com
pleted and the seventh is nearly
finished. The hearths are liz
feet long, 10 feet wide. Eacl

has been in operation for severa

rerves out Of a possible 5000, 900
or 1000, 900 acres, and then ad-
ding to this another 100000 is
excessive, and is SO viewed by
the people Of northern Idaho.
The citizens have a right to ex-
press their disapproval of any
action of the department which
they deem detrimental to the best
interests of the state and do not
thereby become incompetent to
Judge what seems to be to the
best interests Of all. And why
should the people not be as COM
petent to Judge the result of such
action as the department officials
who have never seen this state,
much less Nez Perce and Sho-
shone counties?
In speaking of the right of
homesteaders, Major Fem would
have the people believe that the
homesteader should not object to
having it made more difficult to
obtain a title to his land by not
only being compelled to pay
for the surveys but also sub
jected to numerous red tape pro-
ceedings before he is allowed to
make the necessary application
and proof, which of itself is i'm
possible for the class Of people
who take up land on the public
domain. Their trouble and hard
ships are sufficient without hav-
ing this additional expense added.
Then again he speaks of the
privilege a squatter may have by
relinquishing his claim for any
other tract on the public domain.
Why does he not speak more full
ly on this matter and tell us just
what he means? l take it that
this refers to an exchange for
what is commonly known as for
est reserve script, the most dam
ming system ever promoted by a
government and which has cost
the state of Idaho and the people
of north Idaho more than any
other one thing that has been al
lowed. In the above statement
we refer to the lao, coo acres Oh
Mt. Rainier forest reserve script
that has been placed on the best
timber in the state, commonly
known as the North Fork country
all of which is in Nez Perce coun,
ty. There is every reason to be-
, lieve that this script was no
honestly obtained, or if so, how
, is it that it so quickly fell into
: the hands Of one corporation, anC
what benefit did the people O.
5 this state realize by it? How
much did the general government
} realize, and did it add one dolla1
: to the irrigation fund? Not ;
= single dollar. On the other han(
} had this small tract of land beer
: taken up under the timber an(
= stone act it would have added a
5 least S275, 900 to the general irri
cation fund, and we all know
? what irrigation will do to semi
Y arid sections OF the state. Thi
1 is only one instance of whicl
there are many. Again, in speak
2 ing of the people who are sup
S posed to have sQuatted on thes
t lands preliminary to having &C
S uuired title under the timber ant
1 stone act, such people would onl,
t be following out a custom Of tn

e respected by all except corpora

lands they will get a chance to
acquire it, and if these people
take pleasure in doing such work
as building houses and trails and
spending a part Of the season
there, does it necessarily follow
that they have dishonest designs,
when as matter of fact they
have the money to pay for these
lands as soon as they get the op-
portunity. These people are law
abiding citizens and have never
had any thought of defrauding-
government out Of a dollar or an
acre Of land, Their intention is
only against script filings and
even this has failed in part,
thanks to the special privilege
system Of the department.
In speaking of fire and smoke,
does Mr.. Fem remember how
much good timber land burned
on the Bitter Root forest reserve
which was under his supervision
and how much was destroyed on
the adjacent lands not on the re-
serve? And how does he account
for this when practically no loss
was sustained in the territory off
the reserve and that fires were
in progress during the greater
part of the summer last year?
Get your information from the
timber locator who eXtinguished
hundreds of fires in the forest
each year.
Under the head of "Who Pro
tects the Public?" Major Fem
states it closes it to spectators
and keeps it open to the public.
Judging from the past it has al
ways been the reverse. When
timber has been sold on forest
reserves to the highest bidder it
has without exception fallen into
the hands Of the largest lumber
, company which can control the
lumber market and can pay the
highest price should there be a
/ small competitor wishing to ac-
t quire some timber, which is sell
: dom the case. There was never
7 known to be more than one Of the
= large companies to bid for the
t same tract and the same timber,
prefering to divide the country
t in which each company is to op-
t crate so as not to conflict with
' each others plans and to avoid
j.. competition, thereby regulating
= the price for which they can buy
= the timber direct from the gov
/ ernment cheaper than from indi-
Y vidual holders. The department
o has never yet turned a deaf ear
i to these companies when they
f have desired to acquire timber
v through this process. So much
t for protection.
r Regarding the reckless waste
a of timber, it does not stand to
d reason when you stop to consider
n that the eastern companies are
d paying from So to $12 per thous-
t and for standing timber. Any
/ waste under such circumstances
v would be ruinous and not strictly
