miTR SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 15, 1905. TO BUILD SMELTER Portland and Grant's Passj Capital Gives Order. ROGUE IS TO BE DAMMED Immense Water Power Will Bei De veloped In Canyon That Will Be Blocked by Slag From the Plant. GRANT'S PASS, Or., Oct 14. (Special:) A custom Hmelter, thev first In Southern Oregon, for handling gold and copper ore. Is soon to be added to the Industries of Grant's Pass. The Rogue River Mining, Smelting & Power Company, made up of Grant's Pass and Portland men, have, secured backing from some of the lead ing capitalists of Boston, who have placed to the credit of the smelter com pany all the funds that will be required for the construction of the smelter and for putting It Jn operation. The order was placed a month ago with a Spokane foundry for the manufacture of the furnaces and the machinery, and word has been received that the first shipments will be made the first of next month. The smelter will be located at Savage Rapids, on Rogue River, live miles east of Grant's Pass and on the Southern Pacific Railroad, where the smelter company has a large tract of land on both sides of the river. The smelter for the present will bo of 100 tons capacity per day, and will be of the latest pattern In every respect. The smelter will be so arranged that It can be enlarged at any time. The last of this month st large force of men will be put at work putting In the railroad siding at the smelter site, and In construction work on the smelter, ore bins and the necessary buildings. The orebins will be completed first and be ready to receive ore by the middle of November. It is expected to have the furnace ready to blow In by New Year's and the Inauguration of an Industry made that will be far-reaching in Its effect In developing the great mineral wealth of Southern Oregon. At the smelter site Rogue River flows through a narrow granite-bound canyon, and it Is the purpose of the smelter com pany to dam the river at this point, util izing the slag for that purpose. Compe tent engineers have given the opinion that the plan Is feasible, and that the melted slag, when run In and cooled, would malte a dam as permanent as the granite bed. and walls of the river. The plan will be to build an arched over raceway of cement to carry the water of the river during the construc tion of the dam. The dam site would be kept free of water by -bulkheads above and below, for the least moisture would prevent the newly poured slag sticking to that which had cooled. The construction of the dam would be carried up and over the covered race way, and when the dam was" completed the headgatcs to the raceway would be closed the river above would then rise to the top of the dam. The banks of the river permit the dam to be made 60 feet high, "which at . low water would afford, according to the company's engineer, 43,000 horsepower. This great dam will back up the waters in' Rogue River and create a great lake that would extend so'me four miles up the river, about to Wppdvllle, and will be a safe place for booming logs for the sawmills that will be certain to be erected along Its banks as soon as electric railroads give access to the great bodies of timber in the not-distant foot hills of the Cascade Mountains. A. great electric power plant will be put in at this dam. Such power as will be required will be transmitted to the smelter, but the greater part of this great power will be used to operate elec tric railroads. This system of electric railroads that eventually is to be built will embrace a main line from Grant's Pass to Crescent City, with branches, one up the Illinois River to the great Takllma and Preston Peak copper districts, one down Illinois River to the gold and cop per mines on its lower course, one down Rogue River to the Gallce mining dis trict, one up Applegato River to the fa mous Blue Ledge copper mines. A line would be extended from the smelter on the south side of Roguo River, skirting the foothills, to Jacksonville, to tap the Foots Creek, Gold ' Hill, Black well Hills, "Willow Spring and Jackson ville mining districts. Another line would go up Evans Creek and over the divide to Jump-Off-Joe Creek, to give access to the mines and to the vast bodies of timber in the two valleys. Indications of extensive coal deposits have been found in Evans Creek Valley. There coal measures will be prospected, and if found to contain coal in paying quantities, they will be developed to se cure a near-by fuel supply for the smelter. For the present, such mines as can reach the Southern Pacific will ship ore In cars to the smelter, but most of the mines will have to depend on freight teams. Ore contracts have already been secured for more than double the quan tity to run the smelter, so, counting de lays in transportation, the smelter will be v able to secure all the ore that can be handled. - IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT SMARTLY DRESSED MEN WILL WEAR THIS SEASON, ASK BEN SELLING A' 3 '--- CONE MAY BUILD AT DAIjTjAS Asks $2000 Subsidy lor the Erection of Imrgo Sawmill.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. M.-(SpccIal.- Asslstant District Attorney R. V. Whit ing,, who has been handling the Collins case, received a telegram from Frank HIgglns yesterday stating that,tho fugi tive Collins had decided to give up his fight for further delays and to submit to extradition. While it has been known for some time that Collins was out of funds. the news came as a surprise to the Dis trict Attorney's office. Collins' statement, made in an inter view at Victoria, that he had consented to return on condition that the bigamy charge be dismissed, is indignantly denied at the District Attorney's office, where it Is classed with the fugitive man's second reason for returning, that is, that, it -was on account of pressing business engage ments. Collins holds his nerve well. The real reason for his giving himself up to the law Is that he has been 'abandoned by Mrs. McCurdy and her daughter. He had. no more money to pay his board at tho hotel, and would have to go to jail at once if he had not determined to aban don his futile proceedings in the Cana dian courts and surrender himself to American law.
