While considering the frross value of the vast bodies of ores of various ' kinds in this neglected mineral dis trict and the menus of tlieir extrac tion and trcntment, it is well to lake into consideration the processes that will produce the best results commer cially. The blast furnace process is well known; but in this nt;e of prog ress, when the inventive genius of the world is producing .sensations in al most every department of human am bition, the (treat wonder is that the large interests cnuaffcd ill mining for precious metals have endured the old way so long and so patiently. Anions those locally who have for sonic time been carefully investiuut j',' the field process is Judge V. E. Crews, who is probably more com petent to speak of that somewhat startling invention that anyone else in this district. Concerning it. Judge Crews, in n statement replete with ! interest, said today: Tremendous AVasto. "The tremendous waste occasioned in the extraction, hauling;, shipping and treating of the ores of the Itlue Ledge copper district by the present methods employed by the blast fur nace smelters at Tacoma, Kennel t and . elsewhere, when carefully consid-red, is simply appalling. When you take into consideration that these ores contain over ,'10 per cent sulphur, large quantities of iron and some zinc, as well as copper, gold and sil ver, and by analysis you will find that at least one-third of the true values consist in products other than the copper, gold and silver; and con sidering that all of the values other than the last three mentioned are wasted or lost to the shipper, ami he only receives returns on the copper, gold and silver content, and much of that, is lost on account of the method employed, by reason of the high tem . poratnrc, in the blast furnace prne tfa't ship loss, etc., it. therefore, he comes interesting lo study and con sider the method of treating sulphide ores such as are found in the lilac Ledge district by what is known as the Field processes. Smelter Fumes. "Anyone who has given ore treat ment any consideration whatever re alizes that the great cost, trouble and misery those who employ the blast furnaces have been subjected to on account of what is known as smel ter fumes (which is nothing more than throwing off through their smoke stacks the sulphur, arsenic, and other properties which are destructive to plant life), is an element in smeller operation, to overcome which scien tists have apparently been completely baffled, and on account of which they have not been allowed to erect and operate! such smelters in forest re !ives or other places where vegetn lion or plant life is of any value. 'Now, the Field processes com pletely controls, utilizes and save the so-called smelter fumes, which in fact constitute n very large portion of the real value of the ores, lie ha therefore, after a careful investiga tion by the government agents and through demonstrations on his 'own part by a plant built and operated for that purpose at lledding, Cnl., been permitted by the government to oper ate his plant in any forest reserve or elsewhere, and his company guaran tees that no objectionable fumes or gases or other destructive features will be apparent. And he proposes to treat ores and save even particle of the values contained in the same for a far less price per ton lhan is now charged by the smelters in this coun try. Have Hiwl Their ltay. "A careful consideration and study of this process will convince one that within ten veal's there will not be om the old-time wasteful blast fur nace smeU"rs in operation in this country, but that the clean, econom ical and complete value-saving pro cess proposed by .Mr. Field will take their place. "tine can plainly see that tin amount of ore that can be handled by this process is only measured by Ihr size of the plant. This is in fact not a new process as far as the melal lurgv end is concerned. The new idea consists in the doing away with the funics by simply saving them, who' is a very large part of the ore value The chemical extraction of metal is a verv old anil popular method anil is rin practice in foreign countries when acids are cheaply produced. "If Mr. Field is induced in cro! and establish a plant in southern r- Peon 1 am sati.-ficd that he will he able to operate at a profit on lower grade ores which cannot be done by the present day methods. And when we consider the great tonnnL'e of low- grade ores in southern Oregon thai the smelters can't handle because of their metallic loss occasioned by the high tempera! ure employed in Ibc l)lus.t furnace practice, slag loss and P4GE THREE - "J -' rr ', rVi CHIEF FIGURES IN INAUGURATION DAY SUFFRAGE ACTIVITIES I ii i V'fe.-Vi I i! pi SOUTHERN PACIFIC Mm MAY RETAIN IIS ' M STEAMER LINES ' . fix i m : T GRILLS 4$F SENATORS J REDACTION WERNER HORN practices." the decision says, 4'would leave no basis of record to justify the withholding of thi requisite finding, muter the uet. thut ttie exlstlnj ser vice of these rteamship linos between New York and New Orleans and New Yorl: and Oulveston is In the interest ol the public anri of Edvantago to the convenience and commerce ot tho peo ple.

WASIIIXflTOy, March C The statement issued by the president concerning the action of n dozen sen ators ia killing the armed neutrality bill by filibuster is in part as follows: "The Icrmiiuit.iou of the last, ses sion id' the sixty-fourth congress by constitutional limitaiioil discloses a situation unparalleled in the history of the country, perhaps unparalleled in the history of any modern govern ment. Kails ill ll Crisis. In the immediale presence of a crisis fraught with more subtle and l'nr-ronching possibilities of national danger than any other the government has known within the whole history of its international relations, the con gress has been unable to act cither to safeguard the country or to vindi cate the elementary rights of jls citi zens. "More than odd of the 531 mem bers of the two houses were ready and auxins to act; the house of rep resentatives had acted, by an over whelming majority: but the senate was unable to act because a little group of eleven senators had determ ined that it should not. Physical Kndiirnnco Supreme. "The senate has no rules by which debate can be limited or brought to an end, no rules by which dilatory taclics of any kind can be prevented. A single member can stand in the way of action if he had but Ihe phys ical endurance. The result in this case is a complete paralvis alike of the legislative and of the executive branches of the government. "This inability of the senate to act has rendered some of the most neces sary legislation of the session impos sible, at a lime when the need lor it was most pressing .Mid most evident. "The appropriations for the army have failed, along with the appropri ations for the civil establishment of the government, the appropriations for the military academy at West I'oinl, and the general deficiency bill. It has proved impossible to extend the powers of the shipping board to meet the spec ial needs of the new situation into which our commerce has been forced or to increase the gold re solve of our national banking system to meet the unusual circumstance the existing financial situation.

LOSES APPEAL WASHINGTON, March C Werner Horn, the German reservist lieutenant who dynamited the international bridge near Vaneeboro, Me., in l!).l."t, today lost his habeas corpus suit ill the supreme court, in which he sought to avoid being tried at Boston for al leged transportation of explosives oa passenger trains.' The court did not decide Horn's contentions that, in a belligerent act against Canada, his German army commission exempted him from Amer ican prosecution and made him pun ishable only by the state department. The court said Horn's appeal was not authorized and dismissed it. At the regular Monday meeting of the Ministerial association of Mod ford and vicinity the following reso lution was unanimously adopted: "liosolved, That we express our ap preciation and indorsement of our representatives in the good work that they have done in the state legisla ture; that we likewise express our appreciation and indorsement of our city officials in the good work that they are doing in cleaning up ipics tionalile places in the city.''
