 As further justification for Q government smelling plant n say from ten years eXper- ience in this district that since the smelling of Alaska ores is ether done or controlled by Eat one company, its policy is Dow to ruin the independent producer, eliminate him from business, and at leisure secure his property for trifle. Dur iag the last three years I have satisfied myself by repeated appeals to smelling officials for justice and honest returns that all such efforts are a mere W aste of time and energy. The fullest advantage has been taken of the wreck of the cop Ter market to bleed the inde- Iandent producer to death"

SAYS SHELTER IS
 BADLY NEEDED

The following inter astins article appeared in the current number of the Engineering t Mining Journal, published il. New York City.
 ''lt may be of interest to the mining fraternity to know that the Ketchikan mining district of Southeastern Alaska affords ane Xcellent field for the ln- stallation of an electric smelt- ing plant. Such plant should be primarily for the purpose of smelling the copper bearing rnagneties of this district. By this means large to/nage of iron ore could be pnofitably converted into electric steel in stead of beng thrown over the slag dumps as waste. Abundant hydro electric power and suit able charcoal may be obtained at comparatively low figure, and the smelling of copper concentrates and other ore should be found practicable by this means. By utilizing in stead of wasting the magnetic ores of this district a material factor would be introduced, making for the reduction of iron and steel prices on the acific coast.
 "An effort twill be made to have such a plant installed and operated by the governmen' under the Bureau of Mines. lnasmuch as his will make for the pOpularization rather than tle monopolization of the min g industry, it is flo be hoped nat the plan will be approved ' the mining press and pro- fession generally.
 Under the circumstance ex- i ling in this district an cleo 'ic smelling plant operated | lder the direction of the Bu-- I au of Mines should yield the | government a substantial rev lue, to which it is entitled in return for the sums expended in geological and typographical work. It would also stimulate I'd assist mining and develop rent to a greater extent than has been so far done by the geological survey, and would, therefore, bring graeter re- turns on the money invested.
 A plant of this kind with it's l accompanying laboratory would
