HOT AIR SMEL1ER OF
500 TONS FOR WLISER
After a thorough inspection of
northeastern Oregon aud Couer
d'Aleue district, Idaho, P. ii.
Hatubliu, of Chicago, bus deoided to
put In a large smelter of at least GOO
tons capacity. This morning, after
J ho had returned to Portlaud, be said:
"I bare for tho past ten years en
deavored to find a place where the
situation was such that our people
could put up a large plant, aud be in
dependent as far as ilu.xiug was con
earned. I believe, aud am satisfied,
I have found that location. Hereto
fore the conditions were such that
we could not bo independent in
the fluxing line, aud now wo have
fouud it. The ores of the Coeur
d'Aleuo country are what are known
as wet ores, or those carryiug little
silica. Across tho river ou tbo Ore
gon side is a dry ore, or that cary
ing a heavy percentage of silica.
The lead ores of Idaho mixed with
the copper and silicious iron ores of
Oregon have solved the problem. We
are uow investigating the process re
cently patented, aud will In all
probability close a deal.
"Welser will bo tho point of con
structing the plant, aud wo can
secure all the good lluxiug ores nec
essary for running the plant.
"The people of Chicago, at least
thoso who are interested with me,
have turned tholr attention to mining
instead of tho stock exchanges, and
huve invested much money in other
parts of the country, but uow they
will turn their attention to this sec
tion. C. W. Dtimout aud Harry L.
Hiugham, who are well known in tho
ceutral metropolis, are iutersoted
with me. 1 will euadeuvor to havo
the plant in running order by
July 1."

At the present time, tho Secretary

to building au amay office in Oregon.
Under such circumstances, what

to a

sufficoititly developed to allow them
