Fink Smelter a Success

Fink Smelter q Success
In recent interview in New York
Samuel Newhouse has the following to
say regarding the Fink process of
smelling ores:
1--WE will build 3OO-ton smelter at
the Cactus mine, Newhouse, Utah, as
soon as we can install the plant. We
will build more plants a soon as the
machinery can be secured. You are
now at liberty to say for me that
the Fink process of smelling ores is
a demonstrated commercial success.
You can make the statement Just
as strong as you like. 1t will be hard
to exaggerate what this statement
means. There is no question of
its amounting to a revolu-
tion in the art of smelling; 1t is a sci
ence of metallurgy and must command
worldwide attention. The process
will be the means of making mining
profitable in hundreds Of places and
under inumerable conditions where and
under which profit making is now i'm
possible.
have waited with as much patience
as possible for the tests of the process
that would justify me in declaring
myself satisfied. l have watched
the plant in operation; have
seen it make splendid high-grade copper
matter in few minutes time, and
have listened to each report as it has
been made to me with almost
breathless anticipation and it has been
a supreme source of satisfaction to me
that at no time has the furnace itself
been at fault for any delay. In other
words, the only difficulties that have
been encountered have been caused
through imperfections in the naturally
crude appliances that have had
to be used in working out the mechani
cal features of the adoption of the
method. And even these presented no
problem that could not be overcome in
. few minutes to few hours.
Now l am absolutely convinced that
every claim of Mr.. Fink is to be more
than realized in the actual operation
of his process, and l am going to or
ganize company that will exploit it
all over the world. The details of this
organization have not been worked out
yet. 1t may call for a separate organ
ization to care for the business in
different countries and in different
fields; and one thing is certain, no time
will be lost in getting ready for busi-
ness"
The Fink smelter is success, MIR.
Newhouse says, not only in the making
of matte, but in the making
of blister copper, and the reduction of
gold, silver and zinc ores to bullion,
and at one-ffth the cost under the most
modern methods in use by the big
smelters. When asked what effect the
new process was likely to have on the
business of the American Smelling &
Refining company and the new Inter
national Smelling company plans he
said:
II am not tearing down, nor am
antagonizing the large smelter inter-
ests l believe, however, that have
a process that will benefit the mines
and mining industry of the world. We
have at Garfield plant which is pro-
ducing bullion on commercial basis.
Invite the whole metallurgical world to
view its operations, and I invite the
miners of every country to send to me
their ores for commercial tests. This
is an enterprise of my own. am ask
ing no one for financial aid. We have
given it a test on more refractory ores
known to metalurgy, and it has proved
a success"

Arrangements have all been COM
pleted for the building of new railway
switch at the mouth of Fall river
and in short time the operators
of that section will have the same
rail facilities enjoyed by those in the
city. To give ,the mines this accom-
mediation the Colorado & Southern will
be compelled to construct bridge
across Clear Creek to reach a switch
which will meet the wants of shippers
but the producing mines of the Fall
River section warrant this expenditure.
Without question this section of the
county will prove most prosperous
during the coming summer, and the
part taken by the railroad is most COM
mendable.

Ff0Ct1CA1 Publicity
To the Honorable Senators and Repre-
sentatives of Clear Creek county,
| Colorado.
Gentlemen:-We, the undersigned of
Clear Creek county. respectfully call
your attention to the following, which
we deem of vital interest not only to
our county, but to the state generally.
Governor Shafroth in his message to
the Seventeenth General Assembly rec
commended that Bureau of Immigra-
tion be established and that an appro-
priation be made for its maintainance
In the same message he. also recon-
mends that the displays of Mineral,
Agricultural and Horticultural Products
now in the State House, be sent to the
museum at City Park.
We believe that Bureau of Immi-
grafton should be established and that
the Immigration Commissioner should
attend to the duties incident to such an
office and should also be appointed GUS
todian of all exhibits and provide, at
the expense Of the State, appropriate
advertising matter covering the impor-
tant resources of the State such as
agricultural, horticultural, mining,
stock raising and manufacturing and
carry on an aggressive campaign of
bringing before the people of our coun-
try the many excellent opportunities
we have to offer to the investor, home
seeker health-seeker or tourist
We further believe that the mineral,
agricultural and horticultural displays
now at the State House should be re-
moved to some desirable, commodious
quarters in the business center of Den
ver where they would be readily ac-
cessibe to all interested and that said
quarters be also the office of the Immi-
grafton Commissioner.
House Bill No. las presented by Rep
resentative Lubers provides for the
creation of an Immigration Bureau, but
fails to include all of the features we
believe essential to the greatest eff
cheney of said bureau, viz: The COM
bining of the immigration Bureau, the
State Industrial Exhibit and the Bureau
of Information and Advertising, also
the provision for sufficient appropria-
tion to properly maintain such head
quarters.
We therefore petition your assistance
in support of the above suggestions.
Captain R. G. Dill, secretary and
treasurer of the Nevada Capitol Gold
Mining company was up Wednesday on
tour of inspection of the property on
Seaton mountain, Among the i'm
provements that will be made at :once
is the erection of suitable shaft house
and blacksmith shop on the shaft of the
Bessie M. claim. This shaft will be
sunk to live ore which is in evidence in
the Golden Rod tunnel and also in the
lateral that has been driven about
ninety feet east of this tunnel on the
Bessie NJ. The company has had good
ore both in the tunnel and lateral
and there is an eighteen inch streak of
good mineral bearing quartz in the bot
ON of the shaft. The Golden Rod tun-
mel is in distance of two hundred and
ninety feet. This property is des-
tined to be big producer when it is
opened up on proper scale and the
management is doing this kind of work.
