). L. Steele Organizing En- terprise to Aid Local
 Copper Production.
GETS SITE AND WATER POWER
Capital Partly Raised to Free Alaska Mines From Exactions
 of Shelter Trust

Plane for the erection near Valdez of a concentrating plant largo enough to reduce all the ores of Prince Will liam sound hava 80 far progressed that tract of land and a water right of at least 5000 horse power at the lowest winter stage have been ac- quired close to the town and heavy subscriptions made to the capital of the proposed company.
 The low price of copper, which Is believed to ba arbitrarily fixed by the smelter trust, the excessive charges for smelling ores In the raw state, and the cost of transporting the crude ores, all are factors in this project to handle the ores of sound mines at a minimum of cost.
 From J. l.. Steele, of the Standard Copper Company, to whom Is due credit for the origin and promotion of the project, the Prospector has received the following facts and fig- ures relative to the cost of treatment of Prince William sound ores under tho present system, and the saving to be effected by concentrating ores be- fore shipment to the smelters
 Charges For Sme1ting
 The smelters of the American Smelling & Refining Company give the following rate for tho treatment of these ores: s per ton. base rate, to which add 10 cents per unit of ex- cess of silica over iron, maximum rate $5 per ton. From the base rate deduct 10 cents for each unit of iron In excess over silica, minimum charge s1 per ton. From the assay psrcen- tage of copper deduct 1.3 percent for loss in treatment, and 3 cents DOT pound for refining and freight to New York. Gold to the value of less than Sl per ton and silver less than ounce to the ton not to be paid for. Settlement, 50 per cent on a basis of the New York market reports as given by the Engineering and Mining Journal ton days after the shipment has been received; final settlement ph bh5ih oi lNS" bOTh HuOGAIlOn1 as given. by the engineering and Min Ing Journal 60 days after the ship inent has been received.
 With the above smelting charge and freight rato of S3 per ton, Prince William sound ores averaging 6 per ceut copper cannot Do shipped at profit. though this average far exceeds the average ores of either Montana or Michigan, the two largest copper producing states.
 Makes Numerous Tests
 During the past three months Mir. Steele had exhaustive tests made ln Seattle, Denver and St Louis, to determine the most economical methods of handling the ores of this section, In which the silica contents are so largely In excess of the iron as to mako for them the maximum smel. tor charge of $5 per ton. Matte smelting furnaces wero considered

DAD sPooNER, THE BAD MAN.


 Dad Spooner the noted actor and theatrical manager has been heard from again and the latest has served to gain for him an enviable reputation as a bad man in Texas. One day re- gently he walked into Choctaw Georges gun shop in san Angelo where two meek and quiet tenderfoots were pass ing the time. Dad on his entrance pulled four revolvers of the genuine pioneer type of large calibre. With Dads action the two tenderfoots eyes began to bulge out of their sockets. Dad went on to explain that the guns needed fixing as he had had consid erable use for them. When he went out the Choctaw gunsmith further amplified on Dad Spooner's career leading the downeasterners to believe that he was the most dangerous des- perado on the range. They finally de- parted, declaring their intentions of keeping clear of him, and will proba- bly go back east and tell all their friends about their narrow escape and all that saved their lives was the fact that Spooners four weapons were not in working order. Dad is going on the stage again, hence the necessity for having his artillery unlimbered.
