G. G. 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

pelting. Where one mine j.madherthe- ivnndei- oPthtiliwbole

to 200 tons a day, and there is no in the statement that Oregon has

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-

A bill has been introduced by
Hon. S. D. Woods into the House
of Representatives creating a Bu
reau of Mines and Mining and
making the secretary of said Bu
reau a member of the President's
cabiuet. The necessity for such a
Department, is well understood by
all who are connected with mining
in any way. Under the control of
this Department will be placed all
matters pertaining to mines and
mining industries and the geologi
cal survey, and all matters com
mitted to any of the bureaus, offices,
departments or branches of the pub
lic service. The present methods of
handling, by the government, of
those subjects pertaining to the
greatest of America's industries, is
to say the least, hap-hazard, aud
the results obtained are not worth
the effort and money expended.
