STATE PRESS
Advocates a Smelter-

A smelter at some central point
in Albany county would doubtless tend
to increase the number of producing
mines. 1t is a matter of fact that there
are numerous properties at Centennial
and Holmes capable of producing large
quantities of low-grade ore, which ii
the cost of reduction n smelling was
not so great as under present condi-
tons, could be mined and handled with
profit. At present, the cost of hauling
this ore from the mountains is much
greater than the cost of treating 1t,
after it has reached the smelter. A
railroad of course, coming into the
heart of this district will tend to
greatly reduce the cost of transporta-
ton and will make the shipment OF
many tons of ore possible even without
a home smelter, but under all circum-
stances, the building of smelters and
reduction plants is much to be deeir-
ed-Centennial Post.

separated from Persia only by the
two buffer states of Afghanistan and
Beluchistan. Great Britain is afraid
that if Russia obtains a Persian port
Russia will be in a position to sei-

India. SO the statesmen in London
have served notice that if Russia
wants Persia she will have to fight
for it.
Russia has already become the pre-
dominant power in Persia, in the opin-
