vaal Smelter Talk.
The second of the regular Saturday night
meetings of the Mlneowners' Club was
held In parlors 205 and 20G, at the Imperial
Hotel, last evening. It was about 8:30
-when Ed Cannon, a member of the club,
in the absence of the president, P. J. Jen
nings, acting as temporary chairman,
called the members to order, and intro
duced the main speaker of the evening,
D. Soils Cochn. Mr. Cohen then delivered
his address, as follows:
Mjt. Cohen's Address.
After speaking of the club, its purposes
and Its possibilities under wise manage
ment, and of the resources of the slate
and the somewhat apathetic disposition of
its inhabitants, a. fact to which the speak
er attributed in some degree the state's
meager population in the face of its extent,
varied possibilities and its attractiveness,
Mr. Cohen continued:
"But I understand I am. to speak to you
on a subject, so I will get rid of that
very unnecessary appendage to my re
marks first, and then we will ramble on
again together.
"I am not a mining man, I have no
technical knowledge ot mining. I have
studied some from bocks and I have ob
served some from practical operations. I
have simply learned, however, that I know
nothing, and to understand that mining is
like every other occupation and profes
sion knowledge is not to be picked up, it
must be the result of labor, study, ex
perience, undivided attention, and constant
and intelligent operation. I do not speak
as one who has any knowledge of prac
tical mining, but I have had some expe
rience at the business end, which I havo
bought and liberally paid for. From this
experience I have deduced a few facts
bearing upon the subject which I will give
you for what they are worth. If they
are worth what they cost, why then you
are getting a whole lot for nothing, which
is Just what a great many so-called 'min
ing men' are looking for.
"In the first place, I have learned that
there is a very marked difference between
the really trained mining man and the
man who poses as a professional expert.
Ii have the profoundest respect for the
real expert, who is usually a man of very
lew words. I entertain a corresponding
contempt for the man who knows every
thing, who advised the purchase of three
fourths of the paying mines in the country,
who predicted every failure and knows
Just whj" It happened; who can tell the
exact value of a piece of rock by squint
ing at It through a lens, and who, If min
ing records are. correct, to do all that he
claims to have done, must have been in
several different parts of the world at the
same time. If you could take a sieve and
put into It all the alleged experts you
meet. within a year, and sift them for
rral substantial worth, there would not
be an overload In the sieve after you
got through. What was left, however,
would be first class, the kind of material
w,hlch alone can makr and keep mining
what It should be, and must be here, a
legitimate business, conducted on business
principles and guided by knowledge, ex
perience and intelligence. Therefore, I
place as the first requirement towards
the permanent success of our state as
a mining factor, intelligent and truthful
reports by men whose names are a guar
antee of integrity.
'"Next, I would say, fewer newspaper
accounts of those astounding strikes, those
mountains of copper, galena and nickel
which greet va dally over our coffee cups
It won't do for us, as mlneowners, to let
the public know that they are found so
easily; less newspaper notice of those
wondrous ledges limited only In extent
toy the eastern and western horizons, and
fewer newspaper headlines of fabulous
assays which don't seem to care at all
for a few figures, more or less. This sort
of mining cannot make the Industry a
part and parcel of the state as it should
and can and deserves to be here.
"Then, and of equal Importance with the
things we should have lees of, Is one thing
of which we should have more, namely,
shipments, results. Product, after all, la
the true test of a district's possibilities
In mining as in all other things. We can
boast of big ledges, immense deposits .and
high values, but It Is the net figures which
bring that class of investment which
huilds and maintains an industry. To
make more shipments possible, there must
bo more development, practical develop
ment, development with backbone behind
it The purchaser of a few shares of stock
who purchases It , on the ground flcor
for fractional currency, and who expects
dlvidendF the next day, does not supply
the kind of development which makes
shlpplrtr mines. The kind of capital which
,1s required can only be obtained when
the question of honest reports and ex
perienced Investigation is assured.
'"Then, most important of all, except the
fact of having the metal, and upon this
point there is no room for doubt, there
must bo a commercial center. Oregon
will never be recognized as a great rain
ing state, despite the wealth which is hid
den in her bosom, and which she Is even
now but coyly displaying to the admiring
eyes of her earnest suitors, unless hero.
In the metropolis of the state, all inter
ested Join together, without Jealousy,
without simply selfish motives and purely
personal designs, to "build up a mining
center: a city worthy in this respect of
the great possibilities surrounding It.
"And very much depends upon the city
Itself. Portland has in instance oeen r.
positive detriment to the mining interests
of the state. Its moneyed men. its mom
eyed institutions, far from assisting, have
in Instances deliberately impeded her min
ing progress. This city does not deserve
to be and never will be great In the di
rection which we discuss, unless the spirit
is reformed. A base of supplies must
also be a money base. TVe cannot expect
forever to fatten on the fruits of others,
labor and give nothing, risk nothing our
selves. Our prices for supplies, too, must
he as favorable as those of our compet
itors. In the purchase recently of a steam
hoist for a company In which I represent
some Eastern Investors not a very ex
tensive purchase, it is true, but everything
counts there was a difference worth sav
ing In the price quoted to us here and in
Seattle. As we were shipping to Alaska
and there was no steamer from Portland,
and In addition to the difference in price
T'!L.Cw,d save the difference of the
freight cost from Portland to Seattle It.
?w?UrSe' ,bcame our dut t0 Purchase
' m ?s we w0u,d have Preferred
to have purchased here.

Snwi?1 aE i?ar as Masla-is concerned,
Portland can hope for very little with th
52? hhIPP,n handI: 1' ' h2 mer
chants, however, ore satisfied, it Is not
our province to criticise.
"Next, a mining center requires a min
ing atmosphere. Tour old war-horse min
er sniffs this atmosphere as the oZ larg
er sniffs the smoke of battle; it is blood
nerve, courago to him. and he can't be
deceived with a Chinese New Tear dis
charge of firecrackers.
"This brings us to the much-discussed
questions of mining exchange and smel
ter. Gentlemen, there are a great many
useful articles made out of paper. The
Japanese especially are wonderfully pro
ficient and inventive in turning It to many
uses, from a nakpln to an overcoat Buck
ets and tubs are made of it In this coun
try. and, if I am not mistaken. I remember
reading of a house having been built of
It, but you can't make a smelter or a
drydock or a mining exchange out of
paper. Any city trying to do that
may s well gjyo ap t&o Job.
Chambers of Commerce may re
solve and Boards of Trade second the mo
tion; courteous emissaries may be sent
East and "West; Representatives and Sen
ators may be memorialized, but It takes
cold cash to do business. Subscriptions
with strings to them never started a great
industry yet. A smelter In Portland need
not be a charity proposition, and the bonus
system would simply prove a drawback to
lis success. Tacoma's smelter has been
one of her means of salvation. It helped
to save her from collapse In her dark
hours, and is gloriously aiding to rehabil
itate her In her old prosperity today. A
successful smelter must be an absolute
business proposition, started and conduct
ed on a business baslr. There Is every
opportunity here, as we all know, for bus
iness success to such a venture. Until It
becomes a fact, Portland can never be
come a true mining center, and it can
only become a fact through business talk
In the offices of our banks and not through
columns of suggestions and what this man
says and what that man says In the news
papers. The newspapers publish these
things through excellent motives, through
public spirit; they are naturally anxious
for accomplishments, and do what seems
proper within their power to produce them,
but this becomes in time a detriment, re
tarding instead of advancing results. A
smelter In Portland would greatly Increases
shipments, and there is no encouragement
to equal this. It would give to many mines
the opportunity for properly testing their
products in a manner which might In It
self provide the capital required for prac
tical development, and It would naturally,
in such a district as ours, create the ex
change through which the mines and the
public are mutually served.
"I have the utmost faith In the mining
capabilities of our state. We have as yet
but barely scratched the surface. The In
dustry Is in Its creeping stages; it Is only
within a few years that it has fairly out
grown its swaddling clothes. It Is an In
fant, requiring close care and wise super
vision. It may be crippled for life for
our lives, at least or It may be so nour
ished as to grow Into a very giant of
strength, a pillar of empire."
The speaker then enlarged upon his per.
sonal experiences In Southeastern Alas
ka, describing the mlperal features of
that section and giving some Interesting
details concerning the properties which
are now being developed under the super
vision of ex-Chief of Police Hunt
Other Speakers.
H. C. Breeden was next introduced. He
eald he felt enthused and Instructed by
Mr. Cohen's remarks, and heartily agreed
with him. He felt certain that there is
but one way to make Oregon's mining In
terests a success, and that is to make and
treat them asa business proposition. Bus'
ness men must Join hands with the min
ing men. He believed that Oregon is not
second to Alaska. Its mining yield Is al
ready close upon $5,000,000 per year. The
past two years have brought to notice
mines that will, In time, quadruple tho
present output Mr. Breeden admitted that
he Is not a practical mining man, but Is
the next thing to it as he is interested
fn the copper-mining Industry in the Seven
Devils' district, and he Jocularly opined
that there were more than that number
In Portland. He felt that the people In
terested In the future of Portland ought
.to be willing. In a financial way, to help
these matters along. They would succesn
fully launch a smelter enterprise here
that would redound to the city's prosperity.
He advised the Mlneowners Club to con
centrate Its influence upon this Idea, and it
would certainly become an accomplished
fact "We must not simply talk and act
mines," said the speaker, "but must hava
a place to which the miner can take his
grist to be ground, an& thus develop the
mining Interests of this state."
Mr. Cannon followed, Indorsing all that
had been previously said. "It devolves
upon us, as business men," said he, "to
encourage these matters. It Is a project
3'oung men should take hold of as they are
doing." Referring to the Golconda, he
stated that It Would non- pay Its-Port-land
shareholders a dividend of 1 per
cent, Tv.th a greater dividend later on.
W. E. Hurd then spoke on tho flatter
ing prospects for securing a smelter. He
stated that a large shipment of Eastern
Oregon ore smelted at Denver gives a
certain earnest of such an enterprise be
ing a success. He believed It an axiom
that railroads would naturally reach out
where there was tonnage. All his re
marks were practical and to the point
He was willing, he declared, to do any
thing to push the project along. Refer
ring to mining propositions generally,
which had passed the experimental stage,
he said that people are now coming for
ward who desired: to know whether there
wasn't some way they could get in on the
ground floor. He asserted that If there
was, such people would now have to get
out and hustle for the opportunity to
find It
D. Goodsell said he came to listen, and
acknowledged he had been greatly edified.
He would rather stand by Portland men,
for he could bear witness that they havo
put their money Into mines. Thirty years
ago, when he came here, they sowed their
money broadcast In Idaho and Oregon and
other sections, but did not reap the ben
efit "They have done nobly," declared
the speaker, "but perhaps they did not act
intelligently. In the Coeur d'Alenes, Sim
eon Reeves put in hundreds of thousands,
of which Eastern capitalists have since
reaped the profit Men like W. S. Ladd
havo Invested liberally. The trouble is peo
ple here have been bombarded too often
with skin games and enterprises of the
wildcat order, and have grown wary.
This all comes from lack of knowledge.
One cannot do mining by sitting In offices
and spending money. That Is only the
skin-deep way. People have got to get
down Into the bowels of tho earth deeper
than 10 feet When It can be made known
that a smelter will pay? It will succeed.
Hearts and pockets are ripe for the ven
ture. Beautifully printed mining stock
will not do it Portland's prosperity now
is owing largely to former mining enter
prises. One must know how to mine. I
have tried for a long time. Sometimes I
won; again I did not; but somehow I have
managed not to get broke. One must
havo tho miner's hope. Success follows
failure, by reason of experience. Where
all are united, tho thing can be pushed
along."
Mr. Pedley, of Montreal. Canada, was
tho next speaker. It struck him very
forcibly that Canadians were drifting so
rapidly to Oregon. They are sell
ing their British Columbia mining
Interests and locating here. He said tho
Eastern Oregon mines surpassed those of
British Columbia. Mr. Pedley did not be
lieve that Portland should be rated as a
mossback place. He advocated the
smelter enterprise. He used to study the
map of Oregon, he said, at Montreal,
when the mercury was frisking about in
the thermometer at 10 degrees below zero.
He is delighted with this beautiful coun
try. He believed that Portland was not
deriving the benefits sho Is ontitled to
from her mining region, nearly so much
as other cities, even 3000 miles away.
Great as are Oregon's wheat Interests,
ho prophesied that a time would one day
come when Its mining interests would sur
pass them.
Colonel Frank V. Drake, when called
upon, declared that at some future time
he would be glad to unite with others in
relating the romances and tragedies so In
separable from mining enterprises, and
clos-ed with a' tribute to Attorney-General
Clark, of Nevada, long since crossed over
to the other shore.
J. I. Warner, a mining engineer, and
the manager of the Strasbury Consoli
dated, of the Red Boy district. In East
ern Oregon, was the last speaker. He
said:
"It is a eource of much gratification to
me to be able to attend this meeting.
While you are endeavoring to enlist local
interest In the wealth of your state, and
the Importance of upbuilding the smelting
Industry In connection with your mining
resources. I have no hesitation In stat
ing professionally, it will not be many
months before the mines of Oregon will
be recognized In the world's financial cen
ters as the American Transvaal, for I am
convinced from my knowledge of the sit
uation it trill, Injlrnfi, became a formid
able rival of the great gold-producing belt
of the Rand."
At the close light refreshments were
partaken of.

BAKER CITY, Or., March 17. What
promises to be one of the richest mines
m the whole .Eastern Oregon district and
which has heretofore been practically un
known, v.as bonded tooay to Captain J.
W. Helsner, of this city, lor $200,000. The
property is situated on Dixie Mountain,
Jicar Quartzburg, at the headof the John
Day Valiey. It is named the Yankee
Boy, and consists of a group of six claims.
Several veins run through the propirty
of high-grade ore. The formation of the
ledges Is porphyry, siato, syenite, granite
and jjhonollte. The property Is well de
veloped by tunnels and shafts, and the
ore is found in hematite and quartz. There
is plenty of water and timber, water right
and mill site.
Captain Helsner returned from a vlilt
to the property today, bringing samples
of Ore whloh show fabulous richness.
They are literally allvo with gold and
plainly visible to the naked eye. On
sample Is about as large as a clay pipe
bowl, and weighs 21 ounces, being al
most solid gold. The ore assays as high
as 5100,000 to tho ton, and tho average rock
goes 524 to 51S0 to the ton.
A new strike has been made on the

In doctors, when, upon the earnest ad

In 20 years as I have since that time.
