Any tool that could be used was not overlooked by the boss. He was paid to hire men for a purpose. In groups of from ten to thirty the scattered aggregation made its way to Sterling and mingled with the workmen after hours. A sinister restlessness grew and spread insidiously among the smelter hands. Men laid off before pay-day and were seen drunk in the streets.
But I tell you what I will do just to protect my other property and avoid any future complications I'll give you a thousand dollars for your claim." "Whooo!" jeered Denver, "I'll get more than that for the ore I just sent to the smelter. No, I'm no thousand-dollar man, Mr. Dodge. I've got a fissure vein and it's increasing at depth, so I guess I'll just hold on a while.
O'Neil, a tremendous mountain of ore, located at tide water, on one of the world's finest harbors. The climate is superb; we have coal near at hand for our own smelter. The mine only requires systematic development under competent hands." "I was in Cortez when Lars Anderson made his first discovery here, and I had an option on all this property.
When the news editor walked out of the office that morning, he owned, besides the Smelter City lots, which were mortgaged to the hilt, and six "kiddies," who had to be fed, precisely the five dollar bill in his pocket, the clothes on his back and the duster coat that he carried out on his arm. It was a mere detail, of course; but it was one of the details he didn't tell Eleanor.
"Why, as to that," began Jepson his eyes opening wider, "there is quite a sum in the bank. Some three millions, altogether, but the most of that is set aside for the construction of the smelter." "Ah, yes! Exactly! But that was set aside before the Old Juan claim was jumped. A smelter's no good now, if we're going to lose our mine it would be just like making a present of it to Ike Bray."
We're going to have an early dinner, and start at one, so we can go through the smelter, after we come up. Cousin Euphemia is making her will now, most likely; she didn't want to go, but papa talked her into it. You'll be on hand; won't you?" "We'll be thar," responded Howard, with a twang that might have done credit to Janey. "Isn't it fun to go!" said Allie delightedly.
Though he had often been to the smelter with Ned and Grant, it was the first time that Charlie had visited the place alone. He felt very small and insignificant, as he stepped inside the enclosure, with its array of great buildings, mammoth chimneys whence rose the smoke from countless and undying fires, and its throng of busy workers.
Wild flowers covered the casket, pearl everlasting and the wind flower and the white Canada violet and the painter's brush vari-colored as a flame; and a wreath had come up from Smelter City. Sights and sounds that have been a setting for sorrow, haunt the mind.
On a little isolated isle we have a great powder-factory. Near the iron-mine, which is on the mainland, is a smelter, and on the eastern shore of Anoroc, a well equipped ship-yard. All these industries are guarded by forts in which several cannon are mounted and where warriors are always on guard. "You would be surprised now, David, at the aspect of Anoroc.
As you doubtless know, the long haul to El Paso, and the smelter charges at that end, have materially reduced our net profits. The greater part of this loss is preventable and I therefore recommend that the Company construct its own smelter." He went on with estimates of costs and the estimated saving per ton, but Mary Fortune allowed her attention to stray.
