Joseiihouite, a tuiueral pcolinr to Joseiihiue comity, au alloy of uickel anil iron, , tins attracted widespread uotice but liaa hitherto been looked uihiii mere as a curiosity than s a possible wealth reducer. A new iiiftliod(it t rent in g uickul morea how ever is in process of dH.Tmc tiitiou which may give a new impetus to uiiuiuK for this metal. "KefluiuK iiickcd by elictrioity in a metallurgical development of the. near future which will have au important bearing ou the prospective uickel in dustry of your stale," said J. K. Ilcukle t The Port laud Journal. "Ahitjli itrada matte in may to tie-1 core from nickel ores, hut the refining process, by which the metal is made available for commercial uses, liai been costly, because tho practice in the past has been to reline with chemicals. The New Jersey plant has had a monopoly iu this work, aud weiteru uinttc had to lie shipped east aud the reliutd product returned where required iu western manufac tures. "The Canadian Kiokel company is limiting exhaustive experiments with electical refining, ou the same princi ple as a copper refining process. It appears to have been thought that electrolytic) work with uiokei was Im possible, hut tho Canadiuu company Ins entered into a contract to smelt nud refine the product of the big Lake Superior uicknl-coppcr mine near the Shoo. What is of greater signifi cance to the industry, the iimimge merit of the International company, which has had the only nickel tellnnry iu the county, is eilHiriineiiliug w ith the purpose of adopting electric pro- censes in preference to clicuiicalri. "Nickel being a low-grade metal the uicessity of making it marketable near the mine is apparent. If electric reflniug is possible, using a less ex pensive plant than with the chemical process, there is no reason why a : matting plai t on the big Douglas couuty deposit of this state should not be a good investment for some com pany. I am alio oontldeut that the Josephluite float fouud in Josepliiue couuty will load to important nickel properties there. If the matte from the Oregon properties wero baudlsd in conjunction with the product from well-kuowu Washington and British Columbia mines at an electric refinery established on the North Pacific coast, there should be sufficient business to fouiuiaud general attention. Kluctri city is thi great factor of Northwest development, aud any iuveution utilizing it means much to this re gion, I think llrat some day we will see au important nickel industry in the PaciUo Northwest, which will meau more to the country than the mere value of the metal put on the market."
