MANAGER PAGE ANNOUNCES
IMPORTANT CONCESSION
Says Extension of Car Service South Will Be Put Up to the
Portland 0fCaIS-LibertyiteS and Salem Heights People
May Get Rides to Do Their Holiday Trading.

receipt of authority from the eXecu-
tive department of the company to
announce that, effective April 1,
1910, the price on gas will be $3.50
per thousand, and subject to a furth-
er reduction of per cent for prompt
payment of bills at the company's
Office on or before the 10th of the
month. Also that on and after Feb
ruary 1st, free lamp renewals on
standard carbon lamps will be made
by the company. The rules governing
the renewal of lamps will be those
which prevail in the city of Portland
the first set of lamps to be paid
for by the customer, and thereafter
renewals are made by the company
on burned-out and inefficient lamps,
( the renewals to be made at the Of
flee of the company under detailed
conditions, which will be published
fully in ample time so that the pub
lie may be apprised of the precise
details governing the matter.
The time fixed for the reduction in
/ the price of gas, Mr.. Page states, is
} due to the fact that the company is
now installing a large gas holder
which will enable them to take care
/ of the service with better pressure
and more efficient operation of their
generating apparatus, and it is i'm
possible to put the reduction into eff.
feet until the improvements now un-
der way are completed, which will
probably be within three or -four
months, depending upon the ability
to get the material from the East, ]
part only of which has arrived.
Mr.. Page states that the companj
has had under advisement for a Ions
time the matter of making q reduc
tion in the price of gas, and has beer
unable heretofore to get the plant II
condition where it was possible tt
consider putting the reduction into
effect. The company is making
heavy sacrifice in making this cut II
} the price of gas at this time, but
feels that it is best for it not to de
lay making good it's promises here
tofore to the council and to the pub
lie
So far as the inauguration of tht
practice of free lamp renewals is con
cerned, it is doing this in order tt
remove any feeling whichfthe publi
may have as to their receiving differ
ent treatment from that which tn,
. company gives its patrons in Port
land. The free renewal order is be
ing made effective 60 days hence ii
, order that the stock of lamps may b.

hein gadequate to take care of tn

The Capital Journal is able to
give the first exclusive news about
the concessions made to the people of
Salem in the way of reduced rates on
gas, and free renewals of ordinary in
candescent globes. This is the big
gest advantage ever conceded to the
people of this city, and was gained
not by radical attacks on the corpora
ton, but by insuring the Portland

fair and just business treatment of
it's large interests. The concessions
will be very important to the pocket
books of the people of this city, but
must not be taken as satisfying the
demand for the extension of car SER
vice south. Manager Page says he
will put the decision of the Railroad
Commission up to the officials at
Portland, and hopes to have some
thing favorable to report in that mat

J.. S. SHELTER
WILL RESUME
MEANS INCREASE FROM 900 TO
1900 MEN AT BINGHAM JUNO
TION PLANTS AND COMPETI-
TION FOR COPPER ORES.

SALT LAKE, Aug. Tn response
to an application filed three weeks
ago by the United States Smelling,
Refining and Mining company, show
ing that since its playhouse system
was placed in commission the lead
furnaces of it's Bingham Junction
smelter have been operated with abb
solutely no damage to vegetable or
animal life and that exhaustive ex-
periments have shown equal
success in the smelling of copper
ores. Judge Masrshall of the Uni
ted States circuit court has rendered
operate it's copper furnaces.
The decision means that the force
employed at the Bingham junction
plant will be increased from coo men
to 1900 men. The plant comprises
six lead furnaces, now in full blast
capable of treating 1000 tons of ore
a day, and six copper furnaces with
a daily capacity of from 1900 to L.
500 tons. Blowing in the copper fur
naces will mean also that the United
States company's mines in Bingham,
which were closed with the smelter,
will be reopened for steady produce
ton, and that there will again be
a market for custom copper ores in
competition in the Garfield plant
of the American Smelling and Re-
filming company.
Before the United States COM
pany's furnaces a again be placed
in commission it will be necessary to
construct another playhouse, together
with a complete new fiue system, in
which the gases are cooled and the
acid in the fumes can be n~eutralized
before they enter the bags for tiltra-
ton. The improvement will involve
an expenditure of close to $250,00O,
General Manager George w. Heintz
said yesterday. There will also be
added costs of operation, but this
will probably be more than met
by the by-products of white arsenic
and a~rsenate of lead which are made
from the dust which accumulates in
the bag house. 1t will take five or
for operation.
The United States campany's bag
house system is owned exclusively by
that company, which has had it pat
ented in the United States and in all
foreign countries. Mr.. Heintz ex-
planned yesterday that, successful as
it is in withholding the %poisonus
properties of smelter fumes from en-
tering the stack, it would not be a
success under all conditions. Where
sulphide ores only are treated the
cost of neutralizing the acid and sol
lecting the solids and liquids which
the gases contain would increase the
cost of operation to a prohibitive
point. 1t is by mixing matte and ,oxi-
died ores with the sulphides that
this company is enabled to attain
satisfactory results, and it is peculiar
conditions which obtained here which
makes that possible.

Word was ~telephoned yesterday

come to National with Ashdown's

of fi~rst-grade ore. This will be the
largest lot of this grade of ore eve
brought to Winnemucca from Ma

the auto will bring in 100000 worth
of ore and should arrive some time
tonight. 1t will be well guarded.

in a short time be recognized as the
greatest mining district in the state.
1t cannot be held back much longer
just because it's richness is beyond
the belief of those who do not see
for themselves.
Statement of facts: There is no
litigation of consequence at National
only a suit for some shares of
stock. The stories of litigation are
foolish yarns, told by those who have
selfish ends to serve and want to
hold the camp back. National offers
peerless opportunities for the invest
ment of capital-a hundred chances
for opening up the high-grade just
as good as on Charleston hill, sur
face showing considered. But even
without outside capital National is
making its own way. 1t is delivering
the goods without the help of out
side money. The smelter returns are
the convincing, evidence of this.

district in the state a boast of as
large a production as National in
