Scheme o( Sharpen lo Rob the Public on Stock Sales. ("or some week's past tunny mining papers I i:yc been publUliinKlrUlctloits of .1 Krc:it revival on the Comstock. On this subject, the following from the S.m l:rant,isCD Mining Review, tinder the head, "Will the Pine Street Pirates Succeed?" is Interesting and pertinent: It is rumored that there is a movement on loot lo create a big boom (or the stock of some of the Comstock mines, leading with the Con. Cat. and Virginia, on the strength of the completion of the electric power plant. We hereby again warn the stockbuvers not to be deceived and hoodwinked by the Pine Street Pirates, who have hitherto nilnrd the public more than the Comstocks. And the editor of this Journal duly serves uotke here that he is not only aware ol the manager's contemplated high-handed robbery, but is also cognizant of wh.it mines may be worked at certain levels tor a pre tit. Since the installation of the pumping plant, the Review has been oileut regarding the street manipulation ot the stocks, for the reason that It was de sired to give the managers a Jiaikc. to be honest; then came the suggestion of elec tric power Horn the Review, whkli was acted upon. Now, we know tti.it it is not onlv pos sible, but an easy matter, to pay dividends Itoni some ol the mines w ith electric pow er, and if the management do not proceed in a business way to extract and mill the oiesaud pay dividends, instead of entering into schemes to rob the public, patience w III cease to be considered a virtue. Largest Smelter In the World T. I'. Spurr, of Anaconda, in speaking ol the new Anaconda smelter, said: "It I will be the largest smelting plant in the1 world. The time was when it used to be said of the Grant smelter in Denver that it was the largest smelting plant under one roof In the world. The new smelter of the Anaconda company will cost be-1 tween ) ,000,000 and f 4,000,000, and will have a daily capacity of 5000 tons. To give an Idea of the magnitude of the plant, the advertisement for bids call for 10,000 yards of excavation and 2,500 yards of masonry for the foundation. 'I he superstructure will be enthely of steel and the building will be absolutely lire proof. The construction plans are framed upon the idea of having the plant as nearly automatic as possible, and in this respect it will be far ahead of any thing heretofore built. The ore will be dropped from the cars directly into the ore bins, and will thereafter be handled by gravity and will not require any shoveling until the bullion is run out of the Macks. Knglneers have been at ' work for nearly two years upon these pl.ins.wliicli were liuallv approved by Daly prior to his departure for Europe. It is estimated that the saving in labor will p.iv the cost of the plant in less than four years. I he mine is also to be improved witli modern appl.auces at a sot ot more than ft, 000,000. When all these im provements are completed the company will turn out more copper than any oilier copper mine in the world." 1:.. Investors Come In Winter. When I asked .Mr. llartiou of the Sumpter Transportation company, the other d ly how business was, he replied tint it was better than ever. He said they had put on four more four-horse teams for freighting purposes. The. weather Is delightful. There have been, a tew hot days, but the nights are not only cool but cold.jnan wearing over-1 coats late in the evenuuV. It Is the ideal . time for those looking for mining invest ments to come and look the country over. ' I have just returned from a seventy-live mile trip through the mountains and am more than ever Impressed with the out look. Investors are slow in coming. They always aie In good weather, when the grass is green and the roads are good and everything' Is convenient and com fortable, and the prospects and mines can be seen to advantage. The greatest stampedes I have ever known occurred in the winter time, when everything was disagreeable and it was necessary t get around on snow shoes. If I am not much mistaken there will be a good market here for snow shoes this fall and winter. K. R. Caspter in San Francisco Mining Review. LINES OI: THE Sumpter Transportation Co. CARRYING U. S.
