The location of the Bunker Hill 81

The location of the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan smelter at Kellogg was a mat
ter of the greatest Importance to the
mining industry of the Occur d'Alene
district, and the people of the entire
district should join in celebrating the
event, and no doubt they will A
committee of Kellogg business men
is working out the details of the pro-
posed demonstration and the plan now
is to hold it Just before the Coeur
d'Alene regatta, which is scheduled for
August II and r. which will enable
outside visitors to take in the big
event at the lake city on their re-
turn. 1t is possible also that the big
Industrial union celebration which is
always held at Kellogg in August may
be combined with the smelter cele-
bration and thus extending the festi-
yities over two or three days.
An interesting feature of the sme1ter
celebration will be a special train
from south Idaho bearing members of
the Idaho Mining association and
other citizens from that part of the
state. 1t is also announced that the
annual meeting of the Columbia sec
tion of the American Institute OF Min
ing Engineers may also be held at Kel-
logg at that time. This IS the plan
of Stanley A. Easton president Of the
Columbia section, who points out the
advantage of having the engineers
visit the district during the summer
when weather conditions are favorable
to visiting all parts of the district.
The Spokane chamber of commerce
will also run an excursion to the
smelter celebration, and numerous 9TH
er cities in the northwest will be
strongly represented. In short the
smelter celebration promises to be the
biggest event of that nature that has
ever been undertaken in the Coeur
d'Alenes.
Bradley Visits Kellogg

eral days to an inspection of the
smelter project and to meeting the
people of that city with whom he has |
been so long intimately associated |
The Bunker Hill & Sullivan company |
has always been in closer touch with
the local community than any other
of the operatin companies of the dis
trict. 1t has always displayed an ac-
tive sympathy with all matters per-
tanning to the welfare of Kellogg and |
has been liberal in giving the city fin
ancial support. 1t has confined it's
operations to mining and has kept it.
self free from ENHANCEMENT in local
business enterprises. This being its
fixed policy, the relations of the COM
pany with the people of Kellogg and
Wardner are most cordial, and Presi-
dent Bradleys visits are always made
the occasion of a public reception of
some kind as an evidence of the
friendly attitude toward him and the
company. A special meeting of the
Kellogg board of trade was held ip
his honor last week, when addresses
were delivered by both Mr.. Bradley
and Manager Easton. Mr.. Bradleys
remarks were chiefly devoted to out
lining the plans of the big smelling
enterprise and the beneficial effects it
will have upon the mining industry
here through providing local market !,
for lead. He said in part:
Benefit to Small Producer.
"The Bunker Hill & Sullivan COM
pany is learning all the time Instead
Of handing over our lead to some one
else to sell for us we are going to sell
II ourselves. Those who have been
handling our ore in the past and to
whom we have paid toll have had no +.
interest whatever in the community
which produced the metal. We have
always been sort of balance wheel
in the market but we have never OPP !,
Grated with the market quotation to
govern. 1t has not been our habit to
crowd the output when the market
was high or cut down the force when
the metal price dropped BY estab- :.
fishing the smelter here we will be, :
able to help the whole community We
can take the ore right out of these .
hills and turn it into metal and make
delivery of the metal from Kellogg.
I'VE will have our troubles. The
lead trust will fight us every inch, and
we will need the support of this COM
munity. There may be fights which
will carry US into the courts Our own
mine justifies the erection of the
smelter, and with the low rates which
we hope to establish we should be able
to assist many other properties In this =

their ore at present"
