Wednesday, March 7. 1900 8 THE SUMPTER MINER. I NOW READY TO BUY ORE. Satisfactory Progrctf Being Mide on Smelter Gnutruction. H, Meinhard, who represents the Union Smelter Manufacturing company, of St. Louis, that Is putting In a plant here, ar rived several days since. He will leave in .1 day or two for a tour of all the sur rounding camps, for the purpose of con tracting for the purchase of ore. The main Idea in erecting a smelter here Is to accommodate small producers, who can not get such freight rates on the railroads that will permit them to ship to reduction works at a distance; as well as the owners of low grade properties. Satisfactory progress is being made In the work of construction. The grading is finished, the foundations are Hearing com pletion and the building Is well under way. The latter will probably be finished this week. This Institution seems to be destined to play an Important part in the develop ment of the mines of this district, enabling those who have not ample means to de rive a regular Income from properties not sufficiently openeJ up to operate on a large scale, and thereby furnishing money with which to prosecute the Important work of development.
