SAYS SMELTER IS
BADLY NEEDED
The following interesting
article appeared in the curreni
number of the Engineering 6
Mining Journal, published it.
New York City.
“It may tie of interest to the
mining fraternity to know tha!
the Ketchikan mining district
of Southeastern Alaska affords
a.te xeellent field for the in
stallation of an electric smell
ing plant. Such a plant should
be primarily for the purpose
of smelting the copper bearing
rnagneties of this district. Eb
this means a large to/Mage of
i"on ore could be priofitabh
converted into electric steel in
-lead of being thrown over the
slag dumps as waste. Abundant
hydro-electric power and suit
able charcoal may be obtained
at a comparatively low figure,
and the smelting of copper
concentrates and other ore
should be found practicable b>
this means. By utilizing Mi
slead of wasting the magnetite
ores of this district a material
factor would be introduced,
making for the reduction of
iron and steel prices on the
! acific coast.
“An effort twill be made to
I ave such a plant installed and
operated by the governmen1
i nder the Bureau of Mines.
Inasmuch as his will make for
the popularization rather that
I e monopolization of the min
i g industry, it is tio be hoped
I tat the plan will be approved
1 r the mining press 'and pro
fession generally.
Under the circumstances ex
i Mng in this district an elec
t ic smelting plant operated
der the direction of the Bu~
r an of Mines should yield the
; ivernment a substantial rev
t me, to which it is entitled in
r turn for the sums expended
i i geological and topographical
work. It would also stimulate
id assist mining and develop
i ent to a greater extent than
has been so far done by the
geological survey, and would,
therefore, bring graeter r3
turns on the money invested.
A plant of this kind with its
occompanying laboratory would
have the advantage of immed
iate contact with actual con
ditions in a developing miu
i ig district, so that nt*w pro
< esses and discoveries and the
i lilization of natural resources
< mid be developed under real
conditions and be made of
practical use and benefit to the
industry, as well as a source
of direct revenue to the govern
rneiit.
'Pile nearest smelting works
( i llie American side are lover
< 00 miles distant so that it
i mnot be said that the field is
now occupied by any American
enterprise.
As further justification for
e government smelting plant 1
' n say from ten years’ exper
i nee in this district that since
the smelling of Alaska ores is
< ther done or contriolled by
but one company, its policy is
now to ruin the independent
] roducer, eliminate him from
business, and at leisure secure
Ins property for a trifle. Dur
i 'g the last three years I have
> utisfied myself by repeated
f upeals to smelting officials
I or justice and honest returns
t iat all such efforts are a mere
\. iste of time and energy. The
1'illest advantage has Jieen
I ken of the wreck of the cop
1 dr market to bleed the inde
l'Sn lent producer to dealh.”
