Boundary Mines.

Notwithstanding coke shortage due
to the coal miners strike in East Koo-
tenay, the Boundary mines are still
making the usual weekly shipments.
The CRANKY, which is operating six
furnaces, is using coke from Blair
more. The British Columbia Copper
company started one furnace this
week with coke from Blairmore, and
the Dominion Copper company is oper-
ating it's two furnaces, as usual, with
coke from Coleman.
The Snowshoe mine has laid off 20
men and discontinued shipments for
the present to the Trail smelter on
account of the coal miners strike.
The Dominion Copper company will
install new furnace soon for the Ida
no and rawhide ore. Last years quo
tations of the mines and the smelter
have been highly profitable.

Two Young Men Are Shot at Fair
grounds.
Macon, Ga.-About IL o'clock Sat-
urday night Charles Adams and Will
liam Solomon, prominent young white
men, were shot by a negro and seri-
ously injured at the fairgrounds,
where night shows were being given.
The Midway was thronged with hun
dreds of people. Adams and Solomon
were escorting two young women,
when negro in a very offensive man
ner forced his way between the couple,
separating them. A remonstrance by
the young men led to an encounter,
when the negro whipped out a revol-
yer and opened fire on Adams and
Solomon, both receiving wounds in
the body. The negro was promptly
arrested and placed in Jail.
A general stampede ensued among
blacks and white, as friends of the
wounded men made threats of ven.

Ahalone Fish Perish.

that this large shell fish is dead fol-
miles along the rocky coast near More
Cal. Instead of sea moss and the
usual marine growths, viscous, oily
slime has covered the ocean bottom
probably as the result of the upheaval
of last April, when observers on vari'
Gus parts of the coast noticed geysers
of heated liquid elected high out OF
the horizon line. Either the resulting
high temperature or this bituminous
slime killed the abalones.

Keen Competition Among Colorado
Smelters

Colorado is in position to have the
ores from her mines treated in smelt-
erS that are under variety OF differ
ent managements. There are eight
smelters, all told, in operation in the
state, and three of these are independ-
ent of all the others, and five are un-
der the management of the American
Smelling and Refining Company.
There is an Independent smelter at Sa-
Ida, one in Denver, and one in Silver
ton, all running in good shape, which
permits the miner TO sell his ore wher-
ever he wishes.
a great deal of harm has been done
in the East by the statement that peo-
pie investing in mines in Colorado
were under the restraint OF being COM
PEELED to have their ores treated in
smelters that were all under one man
agement. AS matter of fact, there is
plenty OF competition and that keeps
down the cost OF smelling, and gives
the man with money invested in mines
every opportunity to thrive.
The American Smelling and Refin-
ing Company has twenty-five plants
scattered about in the United States
and Old Mexico, but claims it Is
not making any great profits OFF of Its
Colorado investments, because the
competition here with the Independent
plants is so brisk, besides the ores
of Colorado are proverbiaIly low grade.
and the working charge at the smelt-
ers is necessarily made on minimum
basis.
The American Smelling and Refin-
ing Company, which is in part con-
trolled by the Guggenheims, is about
to spend million dollars in the state
to put in a new system of mechanical
roasters. and has ample confidence in
the future OF Colorado. The company
has idle plants in Denver, Pueblo and
Leadville, which were constructed at
large expense, and which will be
called into requisition as the mining
interests in the state grow and metals
advance. Just now they are tre-
mendous charge upon the companies
that built them, and the fact that they
are kept ready to operate on short no
tice shows how fully their builders
are confident in the future of this great
mining state.
