COMPANY OPERATING ITS OWN PLANT

The Bunker Hill & Sullivan Min
ing & Concentrating company has a
appropriated 100000 for the erec
tlon OF smelter for the purpose
primarily of treatii g its own ores, but
which will be prepared to do a custom
business also.
ms was the positive announcement
made by Stanly A. Easton, manager
iof the Bunker Hill & Sullivan COM
pany, upon his return from San
francisco last Saturday, where he
mad been called to confer with Fred
w. Bradley, president of the company
lie was accompanied to San Francis
co by Myron w. Folsom, attorney for
the Bunker Hill company.
Now that the company has defn-
itely decided to go into the smelling
business, the question to which it il
giving most attention is the location
OF the plant, and that is a matter of
absorbing interest to the people of
this district. Mr.. Easton is quoted as
stating that the company prefers to
bulid the smelter at Kellogg, and it is
believed Il will do so unless the ad-
Vantages in favor of location on the
coast are such that as a business
proposition they can not be ignored
Mr.. Easton also stated that Brad
ley, Druss a. LaBarthe, designers oe
metallurgical works, have been en-
gagged to prepare plans for the smell
ter and in the meantime surveys are
being made of the proposed site near
the Sweeney mill, which 1t is assum-
ed Is for the purpose of preparing
plats showing the contour of the
ground for use of the designers
Kellogg People Cooperate.
! Ihe prospect of having a smelter
added to the Industrial resources of
the city has created much enthusiasm
In Kellogg, and the people there al
most as unit are doing everything
possible to remove all obstacles that
may stand in the way of it's location
there The board of trade of Kellogg
at once took action that placed its
services at the disposal of the com
pany in securing easements in land
that might be affected by smelter
smoke, and in this work it Is under
stood its efforts are meeting with
pressing success. The benefits that
VIII accrue to Kellogg are so great
permanent and far-reaching, and of
such nature that all will share them
that 1t is not believed that serious
obstacles will be encountered. AL
ready Greater Kellogg" is being
considered in contemplation of the
big plant being built, and some Of Kel-
logg's enterprising citizens with active
Iimaginations see the Kellogg of the
future occupying a position of i'm
portance as compared with Wallace
such as Wallace now holds say with
Osburn. But this excltes no feeling
OF enmity on the part of Wallace
people, who hope that Kellogg will
realize her highest expectations. The
entire Occur d'Alene district will be
the beneficiary of this great enter
prise by the Bunker Hill & Sullivan.
and the hope uppermost in the mind
of every right thinking man is that
the big plant will be located at KeI-
logg.
The A. S. & r. Contract.
The fact that the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan company has resolved to
erect a smelter for the treatment of
its own ores is conclusive evidence
that 1t is not tied up with the Ameri-
can Smelling & Refining company
an extent that will interfere with
carrying out its plans. A smelling
contract such as the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan has with the A. S. & r. com
pany is very complicated instru-
ment, and in framing it the hand o
Fred w. Bradley probably played
about as strong a part as that of the
smelling company. Mr. Bradley is NO
novice in formulating terms under
which to engage in mining operations
and few men have made a more con-
spicuous success in handling large
mining enterprises than he. He prob
ably knows more thoroughly what he
can do under the terms of that con-
tract than any other man, and it is a
safe bet that since he has decided to
build a smelter to treat the ores of his
company there is nothing in the cor
tract with tn American Smelling &
Refining company that can stop him.
