Ton Copper Per Day . to Ite Worked. Spokane, Feb. 20 The smelter which the Alaska Smelting k Refining Company Is erecting at Hadley, Prince of Wales Inland, Is expected to be com pleted by the end of the month. The furnace will be blown in either In April or May. The plant has been built primarily with a view of treating the low grade copper and gold , ores of southeastern Alaska, raul Johnson, who was recently In New York on bus Inean tat connection with' the smelter, state that the plant will surely begin work In the spring. "This smelter will probably be the most up-to-date plant In the country, say Mr. Johnson. "It Is the finest that I ever built, and I have construct ed a number of them throughout the country. Our blast furnace will handle from 400 to 500 tons of ore a day, and will have a capacity of 2000 ton per day.) At first we wUl ship matte, but e .pect, to put In converter works and we will turn out blister copper. t i "There are very large bodies of cop per and gold bearing quarts ore In southeastern Alaska, which will supply the smelter. We have at one place a vein 150 feet wide and runs from 2 t 9 per cnt In copper and carries from $4 to tS In gold and two ounces of stiver. We will have our own barges and steamers to bring the ore from the mainland to the smelter. - We have three or four hundred thousand tons of ore In sight. The fllmate Is milder than In Spo kane, and there will be no difficulty about 0(ratlng all whiter. We will get our coke from Wllkerson and bring It up In our own ships." The cost of smelting w ill be lower than any .place In the country, though I do not care to give out the exact figures, "A we shall turn out about 40 tons of coppr a day the company Is figur ing on erecting Its own electrolytic re fining works near Seattle and creating a market for our product In the west.

SIGLER, Rec. Rainier Mill. & Lumber Co. Cincinnati, Feb. 20. Terrace Park, the pretty village twelve miles east of Cincinnati, is In the throes of a post ofllce row that beats any that President Roosevelt has succeeded In stirring up by his appointments1 of colored per sons. ' .. , ' ,..;' ; Terrace Park has a postmaster who refuse to be dismissed. Charle Gegner la his name. ; , . Gegner Is an old soldier, crippled, and well known. He has been postmaster since the mind of man runneth not to the contrary. f Several months ago an inspector ar rived and found things in the affairs of the office that. resulted In a report to Washington, That report resulted In the removal of Gegner, notwithstand ing friends tried to save him. Lucien Conklln was appointed to succeed Gegner. He took hold, ap pointing his son as an assistant.' But Gegner did not let go. He kept up the sign "Postoilice" until the government ordered Its removal. Then he kept on receiving mail, while Conklin protested, but could do nothing. It is claimed Gegner, after appealing to almost every one In the village to prevent his removal, and fall ing, started a system that has made the office of Terrace Park practically valueless. , :; . , Friends of Conklin say Gegner col lects all the mall he can and takes it to the Cincinnati postofllce, thereby de priving the Terrace Park postofllce of a big part of its legitimate business. ' Conklin is protesting, but up to date ha not found a way of stopping Geg ner. It Is also claimed that while Geg ner was postmaster the receipt were such that the position paid about ($00 a year. Since then there has been so much of a decrease that $200 will be . about the limit salary. Alterations of Hotels, Seattle, Feb. 19. Fire Marshal Kel logg, Fire Chief Cook and Building In spector Place devoted the whole of yes terday afternoon to an examination of the condition of First avenue hotels, south of Union street, with a view to determining what additional equipment for the safety of guests In the event of fire will be required. More or less material alterations were found to be necessary in the Ar lington. Cecil, Vendome, Stevens and Palace hotels, all of which are equipped with fire scapes, but not all with the character of escapes which the com mittee approves. In this connection the question has arisen as to the power of the city to require the owners of buildings equipped with escapes an.t other safety appliances once approved by the building inspector, to adopt the more modern escapes which have come Into vogue since the structures were erected. The comm!Uee will consult the corporation cou!?JI on the subject , and in the event It Is advised that their powers are discretionary numerous al terations and changes will be required . . The committee Is especially desirous of supplanting the old-fashioned iron lad der escapes, which were universally used up to a few years ago with Iron stairways down which women and children can descend with both safety and dispatch. , v Mysterious Circumstance.

That blood poison existed amon the ancients has been proven beyond question. It has been traced back thousands of years, and is as old as the Pyramids. This blighting curse has been handed down front nation to nation and from individual to individual till it has spread to all parts of the world. ' v Contagious blood poison, as it is called in modern times, begins with a small sore or ulcer through which the virus enters the blood. This is followed hv in flam. mationand swelling of the glands of the groins, a red eruption breaks out on the body, sores appear in the mouth and the throat becomes ulcerated and as the disease takes a deeper hold and the blood becomes more thoroughly ' v"-"""" "j uus mc bK.in is spotted witn copper-colored splotches, the bones and muscles ache, and it seems to the victim of this monster scourge there is not a sound spot in the whole body. The horror of this awful disease v Can never be told. The one who con tracts it suffers in body and mind, and if the poison is not eradicated transmits the taint to his children, and, Contagious Blood Poison thus becomes responsible for many of the ills of childhood Skin Eruptions, Catarrhal Troubles, Sore Eyes, Scalp Disease, White Swelling, Scrofula and others just as bad. S. S. S., the great vegetable blood purifier and tonic, has long been recognized as a radical and safe cure for Contagious Blood Poison. It counteracts the deadly virus and cleanses and puri fies the diseased blood, and under its tonic effects the general health im proves and soon all signs of blood poison are gone. The strong mineral remedies, Mercury and Potash, wh!ci are so often prescribed for the disease, dry up the sores, skin eruptions and au external signs, but leave the stomacat and digestion ruined and the system is such condition that the disease usually, returns in worse form than ever. J S. S. S. is guaranteed a purely vegetfj ble remedy. i,ooo is offered for proof th ) it contains a single mineral ingredient. 1 , , yon have blood poison write for our spat!
