WASHOE WILL BE
 ON THIS WEEK
Will Quickly Catch Up Loss in Output by Reason of Shut down-New Clark Zinc Property-Butte News

BUTTE, Mont, Oct 1.-The Washoe smelter of the Anaconda Cop per Mining Co. was shut down Oct and will remain closed until nexa week. Some necessary repairs are being made to the flue system. The concentrator is being kept going at full capacity and is taking care of the usual amount of ore from the Butte mines, so that, unless some un- 1orseen reasons arise, the miEes will continue to operate on concentrating ore, and when the repairs at the smelters are completed the enforced curtailment of metal production will easily be made up from the accumu- lated concentrates. Meantime the Great Falls, coneentrator and smelter are goinss fun capacity and carrying oh part of Hts glHasho shelter load.
 The, story. not fnfreduently put out by interests apparently associated Nith Che Butte-Eallaklava company, s1as been circulated again to the effect that a settlement of the pending lit. Eation with the Aanaconda Company had been made and that the Anaconda would take over. she Butte-Ballaklava at a figure advantageous to the latter company Upon the strength of the story the stock of Butte -Baliakiava took 3 sPurt, going up s2 to $I ,slsaTs, CtF. Kelley, vice president of the Anaeonda company and it's man. 'agIng director, denies very positively Ehat there is truth in the stoJy.

 Early next spring there will be an other zinc producer in the field in the Elm Arlin the property of former U. - s. Senator w. A. Clark. Work has beer commenced on ithe new concentra- tor for treating the ore and it IS es. timated that in four or five months it will be in operation. The mill will have a capacity of 25O tons to start with, but before the summer is out 1t is expected that it will be enlarged to 5O0 tons a day. Senator Clark has had many difficulties to overcome before he commenced construction. One was the securing of sufficient water to operate the eoncentrator. He sank dozen wells and after connecting them, laid down the 12-inch pipe line from the wells to the site of the mill, a distance of 1-2 miles. He next dis covered that he would have to install a pumping station to force a sufficient flow of water through the pipe to the mill. The sinking of the wells and the laying of the pipe line cost S4O,0OO alone. A short time ago ex-SeIator Clark entered into a contract with the Mineral Separation company for the use of it's method of oil flotation and treatment. The machinery for the ConceHtrator has all been ordered and just as soon as the building is ready to receive it the work of installation will commence. The machinery will be shipped 9 month ahead of the time requirod.
