FIRST NEVADA FURNACE
BUILT IN EUREKA IN 1868

In 1869 a smelling furnace was
erected in the Eureka district,
New. by c. a. Stetefeldt, which
appears to have smeltcd ores from
several nf the mines. but large
proportion of gangue in the ores
rendered the f1ux required too
great, add pecuniary difficulties
prevented the completion Of the
plant.
The first successful commercial
plant appears to have been erected
by col. G. c. Robbins at Eureka,
1869, which plant was described by
r. &. Candy before the Inter-
national Congress of Applied
Chemistry, the data heing
furnished by F. Robins, son oil
Col. Robbins. The stack was a
draft furnace, though which the
mixture o! oxide and carbonate
ores is said to have run like
butter"
Originally Stag was run off into
ordinary iron wheelbarrowS, and
bullion mOlds were made of sheet
iron. folded and reinforced by
heavy wire rim. In 1870, the
original draft stack had already
given way To two small blast
furnaces, and within the next four
or five years there were II or
more plants erected. However, il
did not take the mine owners lOnq
| to learn that the smelling tOl
charged by a large plant was les!
than the operating costs of an in
dividual one, so eventually twt
only, the Eureka Consolidated ant
Richmond Consolidated, survived

and four inches wide (seasuned

the teacher attempted To choke the
boy and tore a handful of hair
from his head.
Tho marks of this choking ap-
peared on the boys neck for five

The visit of William Jennings
Bryan to Washington and his con.
ferences with the various party lead
ers, particularly in the senate, was
followed by widespread discussion
of the possibility that the distin-
guished Nebraskan might again be
| the democratic candidate for pres
| ident.
Mr.. Bryan frankly said to inter
viewers that he was not candidate
| for the nomination n any sense oil
the word and that it was difficult fol-
him to conceive of any circumstan-
ces under which he might be can
didate. He aid there were plenty
of other progressives n the party
from whom a selection could be
made.
Despite these publ utterances
some democratic senators in dis
cussing their informal talks with
Mr.. Bryan, were inclined to the be-
| lief that under certain conditions
Mr.. Bryan would not decliner to
run.
In short, the impression left was
that if Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
should be the republican nominee,
Mr.. Bryan would like once more to
take the field against him.
