SITE ON RIVER BOUGHT
Work on Smelter to Have Yearly
Output of $1,000,000 to
Start January 1.
VANCOUVER. Wash., Oct. 6.
(Special.) Prominent business and
professional men today experienced
an unusual thrill -when they lis
tened to officers of a company,
which is going to establish a smelter
here, with a yearly output of at
least $1,000,000, and they were not
asked to buy one cent of stock in
the enterprise.
Officers and stockholders of the
United States Molybdenum Metals,
Ltd., invited a number of business
men of the city to attend a meet
ing at the chamber of commerce
this afternoon, to explain to them
what they propose to do, and to get
' their moral support in the under
taking. Among the speakers were
John O. Bender, secretary, of Los
Angeles; H. H. Ward, an associate";
Mr. Pinkney and W. F. Powell.
Molybdenum Mine Owned.
The company has one of the five
molybdenum mines in the world,
and this metal is extensively used
as an alloy in steel. It is proved,
the -officers said, that molybdenum
makA steel much lighter and
stronger. The rrfine is within 65
miles of Vancouver on the base of
Mount St. Helens, and the concern's
engineer estimated there are 7,000,
OOo tons of ore in sight. The con
centrates are worth 50 cents a
pound, so that a ton of the ore
would be worth $850. There are
many uses for molybdenum and
there is a great demand for it. Con
gress recently placed a duty of 50
cents a pound on the metal.
At present the metal will be taken
out seven miles on pack .horses or
mules and then brought to Vancou
ver by truck. It is expected that
four tons of concentrates daily will
be brought here and smelted. This
will give employment to about .;50
men.
Company Buys Site.
The company already has bought
a site on the Columbia river where
it will erect a smelter and works
and construction will begin about
January 1, Mr., Bender said.
Vancouver was -selected because of
its location on the Columbia river
and because it has a large municipal
dock which can be utilized. Mr.
Bender has letters telling of the
great demand for the product. One
letter is an. offer to take one carload
of molybdenum per month at the
market price, which shows a ten
dency to increase rather than drop.
With the coming of this plant it
was said that other plants closely
allied would be more likely to locate
here. The company men were well
received an3 assured that all possi
ble will be done to assist them in
getting started.
