an opportunity to bring their oro to
Portland to be smelted. Tlio O It &
N has made a rate $1.70 a ton in car
load lots from any point as far east
as Boise, Idaho, and I understand
that the Southern Pacific has offer
ed similar rates for the southern end
of the state. Eastern Oregon and
Western Idaho produce
large
quantities of dry ores, but those are
not the places to locate smelters, as
they have no wet ores with which
to treat the silicious ores. Southern
Oregon is similarly situated, with
” — ------ r -•---- * -*— — ------’— —— - -
which could supply a good amount
of tluxive ores. * Tho upper Lewis
river of Washington is particularly
rich in sulphide, coppet nnd pyritical
ores. Summing all these facts up,
it is easy to see why tho smelter
should be located at Portlaud. We
have water transportation at our
feet, and can get wet ores in any
quantity from Capo Horn to Alaska
at comparative small expense. If
people could have fair treatment
there are hundreds of idle mines
which would be put into operation
at once as tbe ore would stand the
shipment of $1.70 a ton and the ad
ditional expense of smelting. Where
one mine is workiug now there
would be a hundred, and this renew
ed activity would mean much to the
state and the entire northwest
country. In many respects wo are
more admirably situated for a smelt
er than either Everett or Tacoma.
We have dry ore at our disposal
right in the- state, while the Wash
ington smelters are not so near tbe
ore, and tbe most of it has to be
shipped to them from British
Columbia. As far as wet ora is
concerned we believe we are as well
situated at Tacoma as the most of it
has to come from Alaska, and ship
ping charges will be the same to
this port as to the other. A smelter
such as I have suggested would
have a capacity of from 100 to 200
tone a day, and there is no danger
of a scarcity of oro for use. The
supply is ihexhaustible. We have
an empire at our feet, if we would
only stoop to pick it up.”
