BIG SMELTER
IS BUILDING
Will Be Ready for Alaska Smelt-
Ing Company by End of
the Month. '
PLANT WILL BE UP TO DATE
Idea la To Have Smelter In Op.
oration Ry Hprliifr Forty .
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.

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. ,

That blood poison existed amon the ancients has

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.
