INVESTIGATION IN PROGRESS

With the avowed determination of
exhausting every means at his dis
posal in order to fix the response
Dility for the wreck on the Washing
ton, Arlington and Falls Church
railroad yesterday, which resulted in
the death of one man, probably fatal
injuries to two others and the more
or less serious injury of forty-three
persons, States Attorney CrandaI
Mackey is this afternoon conducting
the examination of witnesses before
a jury of inquest summoned to Alex
andria county court house by Coro-
ner Ashton. The jury is to deter
mine who is to blame for the death
OF George T. Warning, thirty years
old, a merchant of Ballston, who
died last night at the Georgetown
University Hospital from injuries
received in the wreck. His is the
only death charged so far to the
accident, but it may not be the
last, as William Mock, the motor
man OF the wrecked passenger
car, and Wilbur Loveless, brakeman
on the freight, are both in critical
condition, with small chances of re-
covery. That the investigation will
be searching was indicated early in
the proceedings before the coroner
by the line of the states attorneys
questions, special attention being
given to the signaling and train dis
patching systems employed by the
railroad.
There was a large crowd in and around
the Fort Myer Courthouse this afternoon
when the members of the jury which is to
fix the responsibility for the wreck on the
Washington, Arlington and Falls Church
railroad took their seats to hear the evil
dence of score or more of witnesses
States Attorney Crandal Mackey was
among the first of the officials to arrive
and II was announced that he would con-
duct the examination of the witnesses.
Friends and relations of the wreck victims
were numerous in the crowd which filled
the courthouse.
Probe Will Sink Deep.
Early in the hearing the questions of
Attorney Mackey indicated that the rail-
roads operation system would be thorough

he died instantly. The murderer was a dis
missed employee Of the agricultural bank,
but the crime Is understood to have been
due to a political plot.
The deceased premier was the leader of
the Stambulon party, and when exPremier
Stambuloff was murdered at Sofia in 1895
he was accompanied by NJ. Petkoff, who
was then newspaper man and a close
friend of Stamhuloff. M. Stambuloff met
his death shortly after being dismissed
from the premiership by Prince Ferdinand
of Bulgaria as the result of differences over
matters of etiquette.

Even before the establishment of tAe

can Smelling & Refining company was
a great factor i'm the smelling of the
ores of this territory And even were
the Garfield plant to be left entirely
out of consideration. this company
would continue to be prime factor in
the mining industry Of this community.
Its plant at Murray is conceded to be
the largest lead smelling plant in the
United States and that Yin all probable
ity means the largest in the world 1t
has been growing steadily since its es-
tablshment i'm 1902. 1t now has ca
pacity of 10000 tons of ore a year. or
approximately $4,000 tons a month.
This plant runs continuously, and is

chased in Utah. Ores are handled

from Idaho and Nevada, as well as
from Utah.
In the establishment and mainten-
ance of these two great plants, the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany gives evidence of its faith in the
future of the mining industry of this
community. 1t gives all the proof nee
essary that it is ready and willing to
Cooperate with thu miners OF Utah,
Nevada, Idaho and the other nearby
states by affording them every facility
possible for the disposal OF their ores
a prices that viii be profitable TO both
the smelling company and the miners.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-12-29

One OF the greatest factors IN the
development of the mineral wealth Of
Utah and the surrounding states is the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany, whose new plant at Garfield,
Utah, is the pride Of the entire state.
In this plant the company has estab-
lished a new standard in the treat
ment OF ores in the west. It has erect
ed a monument that commands the ad-
miration of mining men throughout the
mining world.
Close Relation Between Mining and
Smelling.
Carefully fOstered in some quarters
is the impression that the American
Smelling & Refining company is in
imical to the best interests of the
miners. The company is often dubbed
the "smelter trust by the thought
less, Of by those anxious to arouse
prejudice against it, Efforts are made
to create the impression that the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany is determined to crush out the
MINING INDUSTRY. II uOeS not require
deep reasoning to expose the foolish
ness of all this. Nothing in the bust
ness world could be more closely
identified than theesmelting and mining
industries. Except in the extraction
of very high-grade ore, mining in the
west would be completely crippled
without the smelter On the other
hand OF what earthly use. would be the
smelter were it not for the lowgrade
ores delivered for treatment from the
Mines
1t must be clear to the minds of
thoughtful men that the selfish inter
ests OF the smelter companies. TO men,
ton no higher motives, would dictate
a policy of encouragement in the de-
velopment of every mine within reach
of The smelter.

Policy Of This Company.

This is certainly the policy of the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany. Its business is to treat ores.
AS it has no ore of its own, but de-
Ponds wholly upon custom work, its
success depends wholly upon the sue
cess of the miners in the territory in
which 1t is located. When the miners
are prosperous and the output of their
properties are large, the smelter can
run full blast and share in the pros
perity When the mines close down
the supply OF ore is cut off from the
smeIter and it is forced to close and
lose money. Then what becomes of the
tremendous investment of capital in
the smelling plant?
OF course il is understood that the
success of smelling as well as Of min
ing depends upon the prices obtained
in the market for the precious metals.
The contracts between the miners and
the smelling companies must depend
very largely on the market value of the
metals. Readjustments of contracts
must be made from time TO time in JUS
tice to both parties as there are radical
changes in the prices of the metals.
This is the fixed policy of the Ameri-
can Smelling & Refining company. It
has contracts now with mine owners
running from five to fifteen years. It
would be hardly fair TO expect the
company to keep right on making
similar contracts now with the prices
of the metals so much lower than when
the old contracts were made Fair
treatment between man and man in the
making Of all contracts for the treat
ment of ore will be insisted upon by
the officers of the American Smelling
& Refining company.
