foronoou. Interned lately after register,
ing at Hotel Sumpter, ho enquired
where Dr. Mueller, manager of the
Smelter here, could be found. At

learned that he was at the Standard
mine and would not return before
evening. The trust representative la
waiting over until tomorrow, his
only purpose being to have a talk
with the goneral maniger of the local
amolter.
Now, Mr. Johnson is a smooth
article and declined to be interviewed ;
refund to state tho naturo of his
busiuess, but did not deny to a
Minor representative that he la
negotiating a purchaso of the plant
for his big company. It is known
that tho institution hero has a great
and profitable future before It; that
the mining Interests of eastern
Orogou havo assumed such vast
proportions during rocont mouths that
tthis auction can no longor bo quietly
ignored by tho greatest smelting
aud oro buying concern on earth.
It is, therefore, not Improbablo that

sponds his time at tho best hotels,

cently roturuod from a prolonged stay
in the Orient; securing statistics, he
atated to a coast papor on his arrival,
ou tho lead consumption of China
aud Japan. Tho truth 'of tho matter
is that ho was Boiling load to the
Japan governmout, to bo used in
shooting holes in tho Russiaus, if
noooHHiiry. Ho is tho diplomatic
roprcHiitativo of tho smelter trust,
and is hero to negotiate some kiud of
a deal, of moro importance than buy
ing a carload of oro or mat to.
