Natnar.i, a mining engi neer who has spent several years in liastcm and Southern Oregon and who is now located in Portland, in the Pacific Miner of March ist gives some very valuable advice on the smelter question. He says: "What is needed most of all to promote the mining interests of Oregon is a million dollar smelter located in Portland. This is the natural lo cation for a smelter, and it would not only be a benefit to Portland and the immediate vicinity, but it would also be the direct-cause of the immediate operation of hun dreds of mines which cannot be run on a paying basts under the present condition of affairs. The railway companies have offered low rates to the miners, which will give them an opportunity to bring their ore to Portland to be smelted. The Secretary V. J. Hard of the Ore gon Mining Stock Exchange, speaking of the future possibilities of mines in the State of Oregon, comments in a way that makes one feel that Oregon may reasonably claim for herself a future that even the most enthusiastic and optimistic have hardly dreamed of yet. He says: "Colorado's mines arc the key to Colorado's success. That which is the most attractive is what one wants to put forward, Colorado, though a magnificent agricultural state, advertises her self as a mining state. They said they had gold there. They told the whole world about it. They talked mining. They encouraged mining. They engaged in mining themselves. They developed the mines and they made fortunes out of mining. They built smelters; O. R. & N. has made a rate of, lhe' bu,lt railroads. Last year Si. 70 a ton in carload lots from any Colorado produced in the neighbor point as far east as Boise. Idaho, . uood of $35.ooo,ooo in gold, which and I understand the Southern Pa.; was about one-half of all the min cific has offered similar rates for'eral oluPut of Colorado. It is the southern end of the state. Ii astonishing and hardly credible, the people could have fair treat- but statistics show that even in ment there are hundreds of idle , Colorado the agricultural product mines which would be put in oper-! tn within one or two 'ears aS ation at once, as the ore would exceeded the product of her mines, stand the the shipment of Si. 70 a 1 But agriculture is not the drawing ton and the additional expense of card- is th.e mines that have ... . . I attracted attention to Colorado and pelting. Where one mine j.madherthe- ivnndei- oPthtiliwbole working now there would be a , word. I think I can say without 1 hundred and this renewed activity I dispute that Oregon has as many 1 would mean much to the state and and as large gold mines as Colo- I the entire northwest country. A ral' llU' ? vears aK It is high , , T , , 1 tune that Oregon was putting her .smelter such as I have suggested , best foo fonvard. would have a capacity of from 100 Secretary Hard is evidently right to 200 tons a day, and there is no in the statement that Oregon has danger of a scarcitv of ore for use. i more mines and better mines than We have an empire at our feet if' Colorado had 10 years ago. Colo , r . . , ... rado 111 1880 only produced about we would only stoop to pick it S3,oo,ooo of gold, while Oregon up." If only one-half of Mr. Mc-1 j iQ0I produced close to $6,000,- 1 v .. :.).. n,.t,i 1,,. it would be a wouderful benefit to the state. Yet this is no new idea. Every miner in the state recognizes the necessity for a smelter. The North Fairview Mining Company, composed of Lane county men has recently been incorporated for the purpose of operating in the Bohemia district. They own nine claims in that district and the de velopment work shows up a ledge of first-erade ore. They will in- 000. Oregon needs advertising more than anything else. She has the resources but the balance of the world don't know it. NOTICK FOR PUBLICATION. United States Land Office, Hnselmr, Oietfon, Feb. tM, 1902.
