'dustry As it is Seen at Cop- por CUE Today--How the Forces of Nature Have Been Uilissd in Conver Nature's Raw Material Into Wealth~The Refining of Co- balt Ores. NX Copper Cliff, March 17.---Back in 188% a little smelter was started in a clear- ing in the bushes about five miles from Sudbury, A few roast beds were laid out, and in a very 1 way the production of nickel in Canada was begun. The next year another smelter was added and a few years several more. These were litde old-fashioned furnaces, capable of melting 100 10 150 tons each a day. At the present time they would be regarded very mich as children's toys, but in those days they were consi both big and import ant. At first the Canadian C company had an agreement with - the Orford Copper company, in accordance with which the latter agreed to take all the nickel matte the former could produce, refine it and return the nick el. This arrangement held for a time, but jn 1900 the Orford Copper eom- pany decided that it would be a good poliey to have as much of the refining a Ronaible dane in Canada, and so t tario Smelting works were built at Copper Cliff, to roast and resmelt the Canadian Copper company's matte and nickel, They built three large roasting furnaces in which the matte was roasted to remove the sulphur, and two other large furnaces in whioh the matte was melted down. This gave a product which carried about seven- ty-five per cent. copper and nickel, and. 5 per cent, iron. This was sent io New York for final treatment. Just as it an to. appear that the problem of the Micconl production of mickel had heen solved for the Can- adisn Copper company, the smelting works took fire one night and burned to the ground. The Canadian Copper company appeared for the moment to be helpless. They could produce plenty of nickel matte, but not of the requir- od, quality. The smelting works which had taken that matte and reduced i: to the proper grace had disappeared in the night. Luckily the Mond Nickel company's smelter was just then clos ed down preparatory to some changes being made, and the Canadian com- pany succeeded in securing a lease of it. In a 'short time the company was producing a higher grade of matte than had ever been possible at the Ontario Smelter Works, The best use to make of a misfor- tne is to turn it into a blessing, and this the Canadian Copper company, decided to do with the destruction of the Ontario smelting works. The eom- pany had learned a lesson from costly | experience. It was decided to build a new plant, which should be as nearly as opaseilsle fire-proof, which should he complete and self-sustaining, and should have facilities for bringing wp the matte to the highest possible standard, This has now been accom- plished. : About eighty-five per cent of the work of retming is now done at Cop- per Uli, For the final touches it is still newssary to send the matte to New Jersey. If you ask why the whole work of refining is not done in Cana- da, the answer given is that a very great additional cost would be entail ed. We have glrendy seen that in the Process as it is carried on at Copper Chiff quartz is largely used. If there was no quartz at Copper (4iff, and it had 10 be hauled a long distance, the cost of the quartz would be an important factor in the cost of the re fining. Now, in the final process a ma- terial is used which is a by-product of another industry. It can be had prac tically for nothing in New Jersey. Jt would cost a good deal of money to haul it to Copper Cliff. It is a ques tion of ways and means, they tell you. Men are constantly at work experi- menting with a view to the discovery of new ideas and new methods by which a saving may be made in the production of either matte or nickel: bul up to date no improvement in the present system ol producing refin- ed nickel has been found. Dr. Mond has to send his matte to Swansea, Wales, after it has reached a certain stage, just as the Copper Cliff people have to send theirs to New Jersey, There is another consideration. There is a duty of six conts per pound = on all refined nickel going into the Unit: ed States; there is no duty on nickel matte, Thus it is the American mar- ket is practically reserved for Cana- dian nickel, Caledonia nickel is debar- red by the fact that the freight rates on any but the refined article would he prohibitive, 8a much of the work of refining is done in Canada, and so LP A RRsat) MARTYRDOM DESCRIBED Kingston Man Tells How He Suf- fered and Now He Was Released.

The riv- | er at this point divided on either side | of a beautifully wooded island, and swept own a fall of sixty of seventy feet in height. Heretofore this power had been going to waste. The ques tion was, could it mot: be utilized to solve the coal problem ? The matter | was referred to Messrs. Ross and Hol gate, two of Canada's most competent engineers. They went over the ground, reported satisfactorily, and the mat- ter was left in their. hands. ' Their idea was a colossal ones Instead of removing the island, they.degided to strengthen it, and: by so doing raise the river twenty feat, and render it ea pable of producing from 10,000 t, 12,000 horse power. It was one of the most remarkable feats of hydraulic | and electrical engineering ever at- tempted on this continent, and it has now. been satisfactorily accomplished. Already a plant has been installed ca- | pable of producing 6,000 horse power, | and the plant is so laid out that the | problem of incrensing the power, even to the extent of doubling it, is only a matter of simple detatl. A splendid power-house has heen erected at the Falls, which breaks on the view of the through the wilderness at night like a scene of enchantment. The power is carried to Copper Cliff, a distance of thirty-seven miles six lines of wire. At Copper Cliff it is received in a power station, which is one of the st and most perfect concrete buildings on the continent, and by means of an immense 'step-down' trausformer is rendered available for use for all purposes. The great and costly steam plant, which ix thus supplanted, is for the present kept as a reserve. It is the intention to carry the power to the Creighton mine, so that in a short time glectric power generated by the forces of nature will he doing: practically all the work that was formerly done by and coal. "The over cost of utilizing this water power so far has heen about $550,000. That is a lot of money, but it will save a lot of coal, and will eventually be a paying investment. Mr. Ross, who had charge of the elec. trical end of the work, is an old Woodstock boy, a nephew of A, J. Melntosh. He ranks among the best electrical engineers of the contiamt. as Mr. Holgate ranks among the best hydraulic and construction engineers.
