LA BARTHE ON SMELTER.
Expert in Charge Tells Of
Progress Being Made.

Within the next few days, Jules La
Barthe, the smelter expert now i'll
charge of the building of the Mason VAL
ley Mines company smelter at Wabuska,
Nevada, is expected in Salt Lake City
to confer with the officials of the Mason
Valley company, says the Deseret News.
At that time Mr. LaBarthe will have
the final details of the building of the
smelter worked out. The initial capa-
city of the plant will be 700 tons, with
two blast furnaces, reverberatory fur
mace and converters. Speaking of the
work recently, Mr.. LaBarthe said:
1.-The plant will be built with a view
to early and constant enlargement,
which is made necessary by the increase
in the amount of custom ore which will
be presented for treatment. when the
smelter is fairly squared away for work.
1.-The plant will be erected at Wa
buska. about Is miles from the mines of
the company and the Goldfeld branch
OF the Southern Pacific. From that
point to the mines and beyond to the
terminus in Smith Valley, the Copper
Belt railway furnishes transportation
facilities. At the terminus is situated
the Nevada Douglas mines, which will
furnish 800 tons of ore daily to the new
plant. The mines of the Mason Valley
company have already developed 900, 600
tons of ore.
The power will be electrical
throughout. The location of the plant
has been decided with the view of de-
veloping the largest possible tributary
districts, and at the same time be near
a cheap source of economic power. The
completed plant will involve an expend-
iture of not less than $500, 900. "
Mr.. LaBarthe, who is an authority on
electrolysis, had charge of the Trail
smefter in 1897, when he first went to
British Columbia for +. Augustus
Heinze.

of sewage is modern and scientific and
few other systems will be installed in
the future. The writer is not sufficiently
posted to give technical description,
but to those who have no knowledge of
the subject, the following will give some
idea of the system: The septic tank,
built sufficiently large to take care of the
sewage to be disposed of is made i'll
three compartments. The sewage goes
from one to the other, purifying itself
by the action of bacteria, until the
outflow from the third tank is almost
clear water, free from odor or other
objections.
1t was the concensus of opinion of
those who listened to Mr.. Pitt that,
since it has been demonstrated by actual
experience under similar conditions,
Yerington can put in a water and sewer
system for so low cost, no more time
should be lost in starting the necessary
proceedings

INDIAN DANCES OVER.
They Furnished Entertainment
For Indians and Whites.

The Pah Ute Indian dances, which
began Wednesday evening of last week,
ended on Tuesday evening of this week.
While there were some untoward Incl
dents, on the whole the dances were
successful and furnished entertainment
for the 500 Indians who took part and
the crowds of white people who at
tended.
The dances were under the direction
of Jack Wilson, a native Pah Ute, who
was born at Nordyke and who is the
leader of his people. In fact, the In
dians look upon Jack Wilson as a
Messiah or prophet and in times past,
many of them have journeyed hundreds
of miles to consult with him and ask his
advice on various matters. His council
is always for their good, and it is to be
regretted that his advice, especially in
regard to drink, is not more generally
followed by the Indians.
Through the courtesy of his friend,
Judge Carter, reporter for THE TIMES
obtained an interview with Wilson this
week
Bob Dyer, who speaks Pah Ute like a
native. acted as interpreter. Wilson ex-
planned that the dances were not given
for the purpose of warding off destruc-
ton by Halley's comet, as had been
stated, although he acknowledged that
many OF the Indians were greatly dis
turbed when they first beheld the comet
in the heavens.
1t was the custom for the Indians to
have these dances annually, the time
being in the spring, when the trees are
leaving out and the fish are running up
the river to spawn. When nature
awakes from the winter sleep the In
iians feel good and gather together to
celebrate and have good time.
On the different nights of the dancing
Jack Wilson gave talks to his people, adj
vising them to dance slowly and i'm
pressing upon them as strongly as he
'ould the evils of drinking whiskey. In
spite of this, white people bought
DO re and gave it to the Indians.
About ten years ago, Wilson gave a
lance which was attended bv prom
lnent Cheyenne Indian from Dakota.
He was greatly pleased end as Jack pnts
il, he like him round dance, he like
him horse race, he like him foot race
and hand game. He bet him lots of
money"
Jack Wilson was raised by the Wilson
brothers on their ranch at Nordyke and
some time ago they gave him 20 acres
of land, which he still OWNS. He is 81
years OF age, and has two children
living and four grand children. He
wants to send two of the latter to the
Indian school at Carson to be educated.
Jack works in the flour mill and is a
good Indian.
