1erman beiiinger Accepts ManagershiE
of Great Cobar Works in Australia
Herman @. Bellinger, q Eureks
raised boy, who left here for Moutans
about 20 years ago. has accepted an i'm.
portant position with the Great Cobar
Copper Mining Syndicate. an English
corporation operating mines in New
South Wales. Australia.
Mr.. Bellinger was deputy agent here
under w. e. Griffin in Wells. Fargo &
Co.'S office. q position he held for three
or four years before leaving Eureka.
The Salt Lake Herald of December IL
contains the following article regarding
Mr.. B~ellinger's new appointment:
Herman @. Bellinger, who has builded
q reputation as one of the finest metal
lurgieal engineers and smelter experts
In the smelling world. with Montana
aud British Columbia as his chief field
Of endeavor during the past several
years. has withdrawn from the staff Of
+. Augustus Heinzs to go 10 Australia.
Mr.. Bellinger has accepted the position
Of metallurglcal manager of the great
smelling and refining works Of the
Great Cobar Copper Mining Syndicate,
an English corporation that owns the
biggest copper mines. gold mines. coal
mines, smelters and ~reineries in New
South Wales. He has had the offer,
which carries with it q princely salary
and absolute control Of the company's
reduction works. for some time. He
went East a few days ago to meet the
representatives Of the big company and
sign a contract to serve for a year. with
the privilege of making it three. Ac-
corpanied by Mrs. Bellinger he will
leave for the Coast Sunday and sail
during the week.
81 dislike leaving this country" said
Mr.. Bellinger yesterday, but the offer
made me to go away was n that 1
finally decided would be unwise to de
cline. / understand that the company
owns one of the finest smelling and re-
fining plants in the world and it is now
producing copper on q most extensive
scale. The smelling works are located
at Lithgow. but my headquarters will
be at Sydney. which is the general head
quarters of the company. I shall cer-
tainly be gone a year; how much longer
will depend altogether ON circumstances.
l am sure, however, that I shall have a
hankering to get back to the United
States"
The Herald continues: ut is declared
by close friends of Herman Bellinger
that more credit is due to him for the
advance in smel,er practice during the
past fifteen years than to possibly any
other metallurgical engineer in the
business to-day. More than once he
has been robbed of the credit for inn
provements in smelling processes by
men less reserved and more boastful in
disposition. that properly belonged to
him. 1t was Bellinger's genius and
skill that brought into practice the
building of furnaces hat would handle
great tonnages of ore in place Of the
universal 100.to blast furnaces which,
not so many years ago. were counted as
the limit by smelling experts. He is
declared to be one Of the very best in
formed and most practical smelling ex.
perts in this country to-day aud his
friends are willing to wager that he will
add laurels to his already enviable repu-
tation in his new field on the opposite
side Of the world"
