ores which could be handled in n
smelter to advantage and profit if
one was operated at this place.
The above enumerated mines are
only such as may be counted di-
rectly tributary to this point, and
to the surrounding districts which
could send ores here for treatment
are those of TAYLOR Park. 'pitkin.

cuts no ice Eere in comparison witt:
other smelter locations. where the
main expense of operating is the
necessary coke for charging of the
furnaces ana keeping them goin.:.
The coke used over this state aud
west for smelling purposes is most
ly furnished 10y Crested Butte ovens
and it is reasonabl. to suppose that
it will be equally as cheap to bring
the ore here for treatment as to
haul both ore and coke over Mar

is no taugiable reason why u srel-
ter may not be successfully operat-
ID at this place, the>point of fuel
supply, which will handle for less
money the ore from the Western
slope and make good profits in So
doing. II is conceded that the
sme!ters have been robbing the
miners and mine operators ever
since they were organizer and the
railroads have demanded all the ore
would stand, outside the smelter
charges, for freight, and it Is not
to be wondered at that ninety per
cent of the mines are today out OF
commission and worthless under
these conditions. In the starting OF
any new enterprise, tie element of
time must he considered. 1t will
require nearly year to construct

time ore contracts will have to be
made and huxing material secured,
including lime and iron for the
furnaces. Should work begin al
once it would require perhaps n
year to put things in readiness fol-
lighting the furnaces for success

THE ORE Is HERE
GIVE US A SMELTER

Mr.. j. j. Carnahan, representing
the Standard Smelling, Mining IL
NJ Milling Company. was here last
week with mining expert, h. e.
Sherwood of Denver, for the pur-
rose of LOOKING into the situation
respecting the probable resources
of the country in the way of ore
which could be mined to furnish
an ore redu ;tion plant such as this
company propose TO build Mt this
point. The company own the mill
at Gothic which is combination
smelling and concentration plant
1t is the purpose Of the company to
remove such OF the machinery as
may be used in the construction OF
the new plant. \ modern mill and
smelter will be constructed which
will enable them to successfully
treat any kind of ore which may
be found in the mines OF this sec
-. Should some classes of miner
nj require milling before it is ready
for the smeiter stacks, it will be SO
treated. But il sons. has n large
percentage Of lead an1 others are
high in copper. the first will -
directly to the lead furnace and run
iuto lead bullion while the copper
ore will be put into pyritic smelters
and the natalie values run into n
copper matt, after which, both OF
these will be shipped to refineries.
Mr.. Sherwood went over to Goth
L. with his principal Mr.. Carnahan
and made an examination of the
mill machinery and also estimated
the ost of owing the machinery
to Crested Butte. \ mce ting OF the
prominent citizens was held Mon
day evening ia order to ascertain
the present attitude of the people
of Crested Butte and it was found
that all We're ready 10 support the
enterprise with their money and
influence The representatives, of
the Smelling company assured the
people that it WAS not speculative
concern but that they were pledg
themselves that it is a business

pose to smelt sto.k, but ore WAS

waited portions of the mountains,
and the parties returned to Denver
for two weeks after which they will
come in and visit the leading mines
of this locality and ascertain then
the probable ore supply that may
be anticipated when the plant is
finished and ready to run. 1t is
thought that the Augusta prop
erty will be in position in another

WASHINGTON. Dec. l3.-The Canadian
Pacific Railway Company. a foreign cor

in the United States with the Orient which
has complied with the ruling OF the Inter
state Commerce Commission that carriers
handling freight and merchandise partly

rail haul and the amount represented for
the ocean journey separately. The Cana
dian Pacific has filed with the commission

modify rates from points in Illinois and
seven other middle Western States to
Vancouver. B, c., and from that point
to points in the Orient and elsewhere.
Other transcontinental lines, including
the Hill and Hartman com binations,
declined TO comply with the ruling of the
commission and withdrew their tariffs,
substituting in their places tariffs showing
heavy increases from all points east TO
the Pacific Coast, but not beyond. To
all intents and purposes this means the
withdrawal OF the Am erican lines from the
Oriental trade. and most OF 1t will now

Pacific a practical monopoly with its
