the Geological Survey Corps got into
the New World Mining District. Don't
you know that we don't want a Gov
eminent Survey and Geological report
on any territory that we have inspect
ed and found valuable? How did it
get by you? l thought you had your
wires laid all right. Its too late now
to make any excuses. The cat is out.
Another thing-how did that man
Spencer get any money to get into
Washington ?"
"Well, sir, l have ascertained that
his fiance put it in the bank for him
but he does not know where it came
FROM" Dam petticoats again. It's a
pretty mess you made out of things
in Washington. Why didn't you fix
him as l told you to do one time?
Willesta was here this morning. have
read the bill and l see by the Wash
ington papers that the Attorney Cen
eral is on our trail. Pretty kettle OF
fish! How is the railroad coming
along? That man will get that bill
through and if he does the quickest
thing for us to do is to start to build
so as to overcome any suspicion that
we were trying to monopolize the dis
trict. The President will be the power
that will get the bill through. Our
lobby will fall down this time. How
much property have we got up there
now? Twenty-Five per cent? Not
enough. We should had it all. You
know the railroad will cost something
to build. You must get that woman
away from the law somehow or we
will be in it sure. Is she safe? Will
she squeal? You think not. All right
Get your lines busy to get her releas-
ed. Secret service you know. Flyers,
Willesta, Cabriano, Madame z and
this woman must be shipped out of the
country for a WHILE" "All gone, sir,
except the one in custody" "That man
Spencer is good fighter and we ought
to have him in our employ. Every
man has his price, but even if he does
get the appropriation it will take some
time before he begins to build smell
ter. We will have to come to the cleo
trio smelter. They are trying them in
Chill. A French Company is using
them with success. There are several
in Europe. Another foreign corpora
ton is using one in Mexico. We will
let the Government do the experiment
ing, then we will build one. That man
Granzer is where he was eight years
ago. Keep the railroad in hand and
be ready to move quick. | am getting
cid and some one younger must soon
take my place. | suppose I can feel
somewhat for these old fellows who
have lived in hopes all these years. In
Washington the bill has come up for
action and Spencer is in a constant
strain as to the outcome. He is now
recognized by many Representatives
and Senators. The bill reads that the
government shall be authorized to ap-
propriate sum of five hundred thous-
and dollars for a power plant and cleo
trio smelter in the New World Mining
District, the smelter to be built under
the supervision of the Interior Depart
ment. The engineers shall be in con-
sultation with the inventor, during the
designing and erection of the same.
The said inventor to receive salary
and royalty to be determined upon by
the Department. The Government
shall receive in payment for the smelt-
er ten per cent Of all profits received
from the metals reduced until paid for
in full. The government shall then
operate the smelter at cost for the
benefit of the mine owners, who had
located their properties or their heirs.
Care shall be exercised that no dis
elimination shall be made in favor Of
large interest holding property in th3
district if they should desire to send
their ores to the smelter."
When the bill came before the Sen
ate there was vigorous opposition to
it's passage. Speeches were made in
wheich the speakers drew attention
to the incident of Spencers arrest.
They claimed that it was dangerous to
the country. There was private cap
ital which could handle the PROPOSE
ton. 1t was dangerous precedent. 1t
would put the government in the
smelling business. During the har-
angue against the bill several senator's
were called to interview the President.
During adjournment there was eau
Gus held and after adjournment the
defense of the bill was taken up by the
Senator from Montana.
