For mining communities that have been
built up by the aid OF smelling and for
towns that were made by their reduction

sympathy whatever Many years ago
some of the people OF Swansea In Wales
lmportuned Parliament to put a restrain
Ing hand on the chemical and smelling

stroying the vegetation, and they received
the retort that they We're killing the very
Industry that made them. What would
Swansea have been save for her smelters?
So, too; in regard TO Butte City, Snlt

have been save for the mining Industry

until. In some instances, there gathered

How Matter Is Decided.

And in this clash of conflicting interest
II has become the unwrltten law tc de-
eide opposing claims by their relation TO
the community, the greatest good to the
greatest number being the axiom of Gus
tom and legislation among civilized people
In some localities the wine merchant Is
considered more useful than the mission
airy, in others the seller Of stimulants
Is anathema; there are communities that
prefer the steamboat TO the railway.
choosing low freights and slow travel
rather than expensive, though rapid,
transport. The farmers near BenicIa and
tho ranchmsn of the Salt Lake valley may
look upon metallurgy az a diabolical art,
but In mining districts anxious to market
ore that is unsuitable for simple treatment
on the spot, the smelter is regarded as a
friend in need, and We mining people have
learned to consider smelling as an alto
gethcr useful process that helps us to
make money from mineral deposits.
In a Broad Way.
II is true that a certain big group OF
smelter people are now synonymous with
rapidly acquired wealth, and this renders
them less liable TO sympathy than to
criticism, some OF which they may merit,
but We are trying to discuss the matter
now In a broad way as contest between
a useful Industry that has helped TO build
up the country and an insignificant minor
ity In the community who attack II and
hamper It, prompted by motives that are
plainly not altruistic.
The Real and Only Question.
1t comes to this; shnll the mining in.
dustry, which has made the West and
today Is still the great pioneer of COM
merce-shall mining be handicapped be-
cause few people find it easy to extract
money from smelters under guise of dam
age done 10 their property by fumes? As
n matter of policy, the managers OF smelt-
irg works have always been willing TO pay
just claims and even 10 buy farms or
lands said to be injured by sulphurous or
other smoke. but tho law is complicated
and Its techniCalities favor blackmail The
law must be obeycd. We propose no such
thing as the houting of il; but the inter
pretation of laws is modified by the pub
lie opinion of the time. and II is our
hope to help the formation OF o juster
