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
