Chose keoleuk on Merits.
When the smelling company got
ready to enlarge greatly and sought
a permanent location, four men start
ed out to find the right place. They
were Mr.. Johnson, the inventor OF the
process used; President Eldred Of
the company; DR.. Struthers, formerly
professor Of metallurgy at Columbia
university, and DR.. Barlow, the emil
nent mining engineer who went down
on the Empress OF Ireland recently.
After long and thorough Investigation
they decided upon Keokuk as having
the greatest aggregate of advantages
for large industrial plant
The present plant at Hartford,
Conn, Is comparatively small and It
will be abandoned as soon Is the lar
ger one here is completed.
1--WE will take all the machinery,
the men, and everything, and bring
them to Keokuk," said Mr.. Johnson.
Attracts Ore from AntIpodes.
The Johnson company is really out
side Of all competition, since 1t .e.
Cue es ores that no other smelter can
handle. The presence Of zinc in ore
nis kes it vesy difficult to smelt By the
q dinary processes, and II e zinc Is
lost and an extra charge is made by
the smelter. But the johnson process
not only takes out the zinc and other
metals, but does it without any pre-
MUM charge-it does the hitherto I'M.
possible at an actual saving IN cost
Mr.. Johnson said that his company
is now smelling ore at Hartford that
comes from Burmah, Asia, and that
ores are constantly being shipped from
all over the west to Illinois, while ore
goes from Butte, Montana, to Clarks-
burg, West Virginia, to be smelted-
About 40 percent Of the zinc produc-
ton OF the United States Is smelted
in Illinois. at LaSalle, Depue, Dan
Vile, Hillsboro and other places IN
that state. There will be no difficulty
about bringing ore to Keokuk which
Is comparatively near the mines.
suIphurIc Acid By.Product.
For every ton of ore ton OF sui
phuric acid Is made as by-product,
and being near the market for this
and other by-products was another
advantage in favor Of keokuk.
Mr.. johnson and the chief engineer
OF the company R. W. Earlee, were In
Kool-uk a couple OF DAYS and left last
evening for the east. One object OF
their visit was to choose a site Tor
the smelter. Several good sites were
inspected, but no definite choice be-
tween them was made, this being left
for future decision.

Woolsey NICK. Johnson, wee presi-
dent Of the Johnson Electric Smelling
company, yesterday at the hotel Iowa.
"Other places has certain advan-
tages," he continued, "for instance
Butte, Montana, was nearer the ore,
but on tho other hand Keokuk has
the great advantage Of cheap coal
and we use coal both for Its carbon
and chemical reactions in the cleo

just passed an act which i have ap-
proved providing for a bond issue of

ideotedness which has been incurred
and which may be incurred in sup
pressing insurrection and defending the
State. As soon as these bonds can be
Issued these funds will be available.
and this State can and will control
the situation. This is the only consti-
tutional method of raising funds in i'm
mediate future. In addition to this act
the legislature has enacted a law per-
mitting the governor to close saloons in
times of disorder, and also a law pro-
hibitinG the carrying and disposition of
firearms in times of disorder; more
over. a committee on mediation on the

Governor Goethals says the channel
through Cucharaeha will be finished to-
morrow It's approximate width is l3o
feet and a depth of IS feet-enough to
easily pass a 10.0o0-ton vessel. All
available dredges are at workthere.
Governor Goethals will watch the
channel to see IL il Is subject to sud-
den changes likely to cause serious ac-
cident to a passing ship. II the chan

until Wednesday, the first available
Panama Railway ship will be sent fr'rn
the Atlantic to the Pacific and back.
