WHAT WAS THE MATTER
WITH THE TONIGHT
VALLEY SHELTER?

Speaking of smelters and their
prospects in Gunnison, the attention
of News-Champion is called to an
article appearing recently in the well
known Engineering and Mining Jour
nal of New York City, in which is
printed an interview with Alfred de-
Ropp, metallurgist, who was in charge
of the Tomich Valley smelter during
portion of its existence. This is
the smelter that stood two miles
north of town on the river bank, the
brick stack of which still stands.
Mr.. deRopp says: after | had
been a year at Pueblo | was made
assistant superintendent of the Pueb.

salary was doubled We were operat-
ing 10 blast furnaces and 80 roasting
furnaces. Thus in one year / had &C.
quired sufficient English to be able e
take charge of 700 men. My job was
a tough one and was on duty from
Ia to l6 hours out of the "a. | was
often aroused from bed to straighter
out all sorts of troubles. Early in
1886 Schlapp resigned and | succeed
ed him at a salary Of $3.50 per month
This enabled me TO assist my younger
brother and two nephews, who were
students at Freiberg. In October
1887 l resigned to join my friend
Schlapp in running the Tomichi Val
ley Smelter at Gunnison. Colorado
Eight months after Schlapp went to
Broken Hill in Australia, while / re-
manned as superintendent.
This Tomichi Valley smelter never
During the year that Schlapp and
were in charge of the smetler works
handsome profits were made for the
first time in the company's existence
but as the management was DESTROYS
of paying dividends and would not
furnish funds for the improvement
of the plant, l considered it useless
to remain any longer and accepted
a position as superintendent at the
Arkansas Valley smelter, near Lead
Vile, Colorado. That was in Janu-
airy 1888.
"The lead ore came largely from
Lake City, via Sapinero, in Gunnison
County, and the dry ore from
Ouray and other parts of the north
ern San Juan, as well as the Gunni-
son region"
Whether deRopp's explanation of
the allure is correct or not. there
were three other smelters started in
our city which also had checkered
career and soon flickered out. They
were the Moffat smelter, from which
"Smelter Hill" now college
Heights" took its name; small a
fair at the lower end of Main street
started by Steve Scribner and asso-
ciates, and the Lewis smelter, south
Of the La Veta, which was pretenti-
Gus affair. Many reasons were alleg-
ed for the successive failures. BY
some it was claimed that no ore was
available. Others assert that in realty
Pueblo and Denver smelter interests
had influence with the railroad and
secured greight rates rom Gunnison
mines that were lower to those cities
800 miles further than to the coun-
ty seat few miles away. Bad man
agement, lack of working capital and
other discouragements are added to
the list.
Whatever the reasons, it does seem

occurred on Antelope creek which, on

drained off, leaving the lettuce no
worse or wear, and quite a bit better

HARRY WILLS GETS HAND
AS HE ENTERS STADIUM

NEW YORK, July 24.-There was
q hint for Tex Richard and Jack
Kearns in the reception accorded
Harry Wills on his arrival at the
Yankee stadium last night. The
colored heavyweight was cheered
every step Of the way from the EN-
trance in center field to his seat
near the ring.
That the New York city boxing
public, at least, thinks that Wills
is the logical candidate for a chance
at Dempsey's heavyweight cham
pionship, is evident Willard, on
the other hand, who had aspirations
in that direction until he met Firpo,
was practically ignored.
1t is not hard to find out what the
public is thinking If it is given a
chance to express itself and 1t
showed what it thought of Wills
laft night with Richard and Keanrs

tons A and B in the finals. Sec
ton c is the weakest of the three
sections in the unlimited class
Many fans believe that the final
scrap for the title will be between
the winners of A and B. But the
Phils have a pitcher who has been
showing lots of stuff. His name is
Welde. His last feat was to shut
out the O'Donnells with two hits
in an eight-inning game, making
four straight wins for the Pills.
A real pitcher, even with a punk
team to help him, is q formidable
gink on the sandlots. This is not
meant that the Pills are a punk
team, either. They've played some
classy ball this season and have
been picking up speed lately.

RED SOX ROOKIE
MAKES GOOD
IN FIELD

Speaking of 1923 recruits who
have made the grade in the big
leagues, don't fail to include Dick
Reichle, stellar outfielder of the
Boston Red Sox. For Reichle, a
nois, has come through with ven
geance.
A heavy hitter, and an exception
ally clever mar in pinch, the for
mer college star has done yeoman
service for the Chance encourage
in it's efforts to keep out of the
cellar position.
That he swings a mean stick is
shown by the fact that ne is mas
saying the apple way above the
800 mark, being right up along
with the leaders. But it isn't only
at the plate that Reichle stars, for
be it known that he is a pretty
nifty fielder as well; gets over the
territory fast, Is q sure shot on
fly balls and packs a rifle-liI<e arm.
Reichle comes from the same
school that has turned out quite a
cluster of major league celebrities
two of the most famous, perhaps,
being Garland Jake Stahl, old
Washington and Boston American
League player and manager, and
Carl Lundgren, who pitched for
the Cubs back in the days when
Peerless" Chance was grabbing
pennants and worlds championships
with reckless abandon.
Unless al1 predictions prove
wrong. Reichle has a most promls-
ing future in the diamond pastime.

CHEERS Of FANS
LIKE TONIC
To TEAM
Pat Moran Tells of Reds Re-
ception After disastrous
Trip.

Few fans realize what a differ
ence' to the home team it makes to
have their support at home when the
team has had a lot of bad breaks, -
remarked the venerable Pat Moran,
manager of the Cincinnati Reds.
He was discussing the uprising of
the Reds which has brought them to
a point where, il the Reds win two
while the Giants are losing two, the
Reds will take the leadership in the
National League by 1896 to .629.
when we got back from our first
Eastern trip" continued Pat, I'VE
had a sorry record. We had lost six
of eleven games in the East and had
dropped a game or two in Chicago
On the way West. It might have
been expected that we would have
received either an outright raZZing,
or at least a lot of complaints, and
must admit that was rather upon
the minds of the Reds.
Instead of the razz or complaints,
we were received as If we were tear
ing up the league by the roots.
Everybody and his wife's relatives
were there and they yelled them
selves hoarse. The effect upon the
Reds was remarkable. The whole
team acted as if it had been shot full
Of some stimula1t, with which they
make dead ones winners at the crook
ed race tracks.
THAT three-rousing-cheer stuff
sounded SO good that the boys want
ed more Of the same, and every man
played as II that particular game
would decide the championship I
had to cool the ardor of some of the
athletes who were taking chances on
breaking their valuable necks when
there was no necessity for such rash
ness.
Fans think baseball players are
Indifferent to the temper of the
crowd. They are not, and it would
not be human nature for them to be
Indifferent. Some sturdy veterans
do not l6 the r5zzing that follows
an error disturb them, but you can
bet your life there is none of them,
young or old, who is not popped I'D
by the glad hand when he does some
thing out of the ordinary, or by a
cheer after an error, to show that the
fans are still with him.
THAT reception at home put the
Reds on their. feet. They had the
markings of a good team, and knew
1t, but so blamed many things hap
pened that they began to feel that
they did not have a friend in the
world. When that bunch of Gin.
cinnati Indians cut loose with the
welcome-home stuff the clouds rolled
away.
'Of course, things began to break
for us about that time. Our pitchers
