Another interesting article 011 the Bubject of a custom smelter for Bo hemia is to be found on the front page of this issue. It is a well known fact that a custom smelter, properly equipped and operated, is the most certain source of revenue in the mining business. Its success is not contingent upon the ore output of any one mine or group of mines, but it draws its support from a large number of mines in the district where it is lo catcd. There are a great many properties under development that could be made paying within a convenient distance of a smelter site, and at least 100 more would be developed ifthercwasa custom smelter con veniently located to which ore could be taken for treatment. A custom smelter bears the same relation to a mining camp that a grist mill does to an agri cultural district, with profits greatly in favor of the custom smelter. The usual net profits of a custom smelter are about $3 per ton. Years of careful study with smelting plants have demcrstrated their valued as dividend payers. Risks which exist in all ordiuary mining enterprises are eliminated from this plan. Here there is. abundance of fuel, water, fluxes, an inexhaustible supply of ore' and a dear field to operate in. Custom smelting has the advan tages over all kinds of commercial business in that the product of a smelter invariably sells for cash, the ore smelted is ample security for the expense of smelting, profits are always large, often reaching 50 per cent annually on the par value of the stock, the charges for smelting are always collected before the "matte" or refined ore is delivered from the smelter a custom smelter has no bad debts, a gold smelter's output never fluctuates in value, and is absolutely independent "of any financial stringency, business stagnation, political disturbance or other calamity which often jeopar dize all ordinary classes of invest nicnt. A custom smelter makes money for the stockholder, the miner, the merchant and the laborer It will put the wheels 'of industry here in active and constant motion and re- dound to the great good of all. Too long already has a movement in this direction been delayed and it is high time that the business element of this community awoke to the necessity ol taking immediate ad vantage of the magnificent oppor tunities so lavishly strewn at their very doors. Jyast week the Nugget received a call from Robert H. Wilson, visiting agent of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society of Oregon, whose temporary home or depot is located on the Hawthorn tract in Kast Portland. This society is doiug a vast deal of good on reformatory lines and following the methods of least resistance and best results. It receives and shelters the homeless, negle'cted and abused, finds homes of comfort for them and watches over them until they are adopted into good families or be come of legal age and their future is secure. This society' is doing a grand and npblc work for the up lifting of the helpless little oiies who are thrown upon a cold and bitter world in surroundings of ab ject poverty and brutal natures. Those who may desire to place a child under the protection of the society or take from the home a boy or girl to raise and care for can be iumished with all information by addressing a letter of inquiry to W. T. Gardner, Box 677, Portland,! Ore., who is the .v-ipe-nn'endeiit. I HELENA STRIKE. SOME RICH AND BEAUTIFUL SPECIMENS 'BROUGHT TO TOWN. Charles Bruneau, otm of the owners of the Helena iniuc, came out from Bohemia on Wednesday. He brought to the Nugget office one of the largest and richest chunks of ore that ever came from Bohemia, which he took from the ore body in the upper tunnel. It fairly sparkles with the thousands of specks of gold sticking all over and through it. It is the same class of ore that was uncovered in the Knot mine, owned by Mrs'. Finnican, and also in the famous Stocks, Harlow & Bruslyiroperty. But this is not all. The tunnel is now in 200 feet and the face is in a solid body of base ore that assays $c, 600 per ton in gold. The tunnel is 6 feet high and 5 feet wide and is one solid mass of this ore. They had just run into this shute and cannot tell how thick the shute may be until they go through it but at present this is the finest and lamest body of ore that has ever been uncovered in the Helena, and work is being pushed night and day. The 5-stamp mill is steadily pound ing on good ore, and the extra 5 stamps are nearly in readiness to drop and will be in motion in a few days. From Mondav morning until at noon yesterday the storm of snow, sleet, hail, rain and frost held this section in its icy embrace; but yes terday the heavens cleared and the sun shone forth in its genial warmth. It was so disagreeable to be out that business of all kinds came nearly to a standstill. Twi light comes early these days and the nights have been as dark as a stack of black cats. No electric lights to guide the way and so few people abroad after dark with home made lanterns and patent devices for dodging the holes in the side walks and. steering clear of mud puddles that they could be counted on the fingers. All is changed to day and the streets are alive with farm teams and people from the country side. The stores are being well patronized and the large stocks ofholiday goodsare attracting much attentiou. JL nan ksgi vine is near at hand and the dwellers in this community have much to be thank ful for. All are well clothed, well fed and well housed and mostly all find work for band and brain to do Improvements of many kinds are still going ahead, and taken all in all the people of Cottage Grove are in as good condition if not better than lhose,of some other points. For several days past has stood in the window of Drs. Schleef's new store building a beautiful oil paint ing entitled "Hood River Empty ing into the Columbia." It is the work of a well-known local artist, Robert Lane, and docs him much credit. The picture in the fore ground shows the Hood river with a steamboat plying on its placid bosom and various structures along and on its banks, and in the central distance that lofty 'giant Mount Hood with its peipetual suow- cappedpeak towering aloft into the azure blue. Those who love art and nature should not fail to take a look at this handsome picture. It is framed in Oregon wood which is painted with the natural product from the Simmons mine at Walker. Tlllt BOOK SOCIAL. It was held on Saturday evening it the Opera House and, despite the storm that raged outside, it was a very creditable affair and was quite well patronized. A pro gram was rendered that was fairly good throughout and interspersed with some choice numbers. It is here given: Song, America; prayer, Rev. Crandall; recitation, Bessie Wood; solo, Orpha Ilarmes, Eva Chamberlen;- recitation, Nettie Burdick; solo, Mr. Aubrey; recila tion, Ruby Thomas; Song, Steel Miller; instrumental solo, Wllie Hurt. . 1 XOTICK I' OK rt'HLUWTlON, No-rtcKor Awmcatios or H.
