WHAT IS NEEDED.
A CUSTOM ORE SMELTER
WOULD WORK WONDERS.
A Movement on Foot to Build one
in Bohemia Next Spring.
Measures are being taken and
energetically pushed with the busi
ness men of Cottage Grove to the
end that funds be raised to provide
for the construction at an early day
of a custom smelter for Bohemia.
A letter from one of the miners of
Bohemia is herewith given, which
ought to be read with interest and
given the utmost consideration:
"Now that election is over arjd
four more years of prosperity are
assured, let us see what the people
of Cottage Grove are going to do to
make the four years to come the
most prosperous in the city's
history. First, to begin with, let
the people awake from their Rip
Van Winkle slumbers and reach
out and grasp the opportunities
that now lay within their reach
The city has forged ahead during
the present year to a remarkable
extent. New buildings, both busi
ness and dwelling, have been built,
but not enough to supply the de
mand. Many people come here
who would make desirable' citizens
if they could either buy or rent.
Many do not, want to buy on the
start, therefore there ought to be
more dwellings put up to rent.
We will soon have the -finest
streets in Lane county. Let the
good work go on. Improve the
city. Cottage Grove is the only
outlet to the greatest gold fields in
Oregon, and with proper push and
energy on the part of the citizens
this could be a second Cripple
Creek.
We now see how Portland is
pulling for the mines of the north
and in Eastern Oregon to the detri
ment of Bohemia and this part of
the state. They are figuring on a
big smelting plant at that city, but
hrst tuey try to down our mines to
get control. Then how much good
will a smelter at Portland do our
mines. First, there.comes the cost
of mining the ore, which is usually
about $3.00 per ton; then comes
$10 freight from the mines to the
railroad; then about $12 shipping
and smelter charges from here to
the Tacoma plant, making a total
of $25 per ton before the producer
gets anything. This causes a Joss
of time and labor to the average
prospector far beyond his means
and besides furnishing employment
to labpr outside the state which
does not benefit our city, besides
the largest per cent of the ore iu
Bohemia does not give an assay
value high enough to admit of so
much expense. A vast amount of
ore running generally about $10 or
$20 per ton can be worked at a good
profit, with proper facilities at
home, to the smelting company,
and leaving a handsome dividend to
the owner ol the mine, who in time

will take his money to buy supplies
from the merchant and employ
labor to take out more ore. In this
way a good market will be found
for the product of the mines owned
by the prospector who is not able
to put in reduction works.
There are dozens of good
properties in our camp of the latter
class which are owned by poor
prospectors who are barely able to
do their assessment work. Besides
they think there is no use doing
any more than is actually necessary,
for the kind of investors who'come in
are the kind generally driven away
from, legitimate mining centers for
their rascality. Mind we do not
class all of them iu this line, but
the majority are of such that the
man of honor turns from them iiii
disgust, for the miner is generally
a man of good judgement, who
know a good think when he has it,
and don't like to put in two or
three years of toil and privation and
give away what he has found to
the unscrupulous scamp for noth
ing, and this, to my knowledge,
has been tried more than once by
slick-tongued rascals in Bohemia.
So to make a success, let the
people of Cottage Grove organize a
good company for, the express pur
pose of erecting a custom smelter
right in camp, a small one to start
with. Elect their officers from
among our own business men.
Make the principle place of busi
ness Cottage Grove. Then put a
good practical man in charge and
the main object is reached. In
this way there is no exhorbitant
charges of gilt edge experts and
general managers, who don't know
enough about mines to fill the ordi
nary fountain pen.
When this is done the eyes of
the mining world will be turned on
this camp to see if it be a success,
and if found to be such others will
follow and soon there will be such
a rush of legitimate capital as was
seen in Cripple Creek or Leadvillo
or Joplin and other good smelting
communities.
The writer can distinctly re
member the obstacles thrown In
the way of the first promoters of a
smelting plant for Joplin, Missouri.
Some said, just as they do here;
"Let the prospector do more work,
and show there is something here."
Others said, '"A fool and money is
soon parted." But today the man
who built that plant for Joplin is
worth $5,000,000 and is running a
large plant at Cripple Creek, an
other at Joplin, another at Lead
ville. Look at the dividend-paying
mines in other states. See the
amount of capital invested and the
amount of precious- metal turned
out. Then look to the cause, and
you wilfsee the ore producpd Is of
no higher grade than ours and in
many instances of a less'cbmmercial
value. But in most cases their re
duction works are situated in the
camp from whence comes the
supply.
Statistics show there is a greater
area of mineral producing territory
