Th* object at which Mr. Vaughn haa
t*-*-n aiming la to bulk! a am*'t*r ao amaii
and almpt* that It ran h* p*/-k*d on the
Iwka of hora** for km* distances into th*
mountain* and *reet*d at th* rnln**. H*
want*«l each a «m*!t»r to treat iow grade
auiphid* or** at th* mine* without using
any except to start Ih* Sr«. relying
upon th* *ulphur which th*y contain to
k«-*p th* fir* x<'in* and sustain th* h*at.
Th* fir»r r*ouUlt* for stmplu-11y and port
ability waa to do away with th* wat*r
Jacket, which baa hitherto h**n n*e*a**fT
to pr*v*nt th* lining of furna<*ea from be

atacJ* to th* transportation of ara'tters for
Unix distance* w*r lh* tralla. For ncn
aulnhld* or*a hr had to find a cheap and
caally portable f»»*l.
To prevent th* burning out of th* fur-
nace, Mr. Vaughn adopted a mineral found
In the f* scarie mountains, whirh can be
either mixed Into a planter or molded Into
briega and with which he lines hi* fur
nace. The peculiarity of this material la
that. Instead of expanding with heat. It
contract*. and will neither crack nor break,
growing harder as the heat in"r<a»fc«.
The temperaiure required for fluxing Is
4 «*» degree*, and this waa attained yester
day In a iihort time with no 111 eff«-ct».
Where the ore la non-*ulphide. or do~s not
contain enough sulphur tx> act mm fuel, he
lnjec»a generated from RMWHW. Thi*
produce* an Intenae heai In a short time,
sufficient to anted any self-fluxing or* 1 ?*, but
not no gr*-ai a* to »urr out th«- furnace.
Belf-fluxing was. according to Mr. Vaughn,
arc »uch a* contain frum 3f» to 27 per cent,

centage «f Iron required decreasing In pro

The experimental furnace with which the
teat waa made yesterday I* built of hrlcfc,
rtirrounded with sheet iron to hide the
roughnesa of the structure. The body of
the furnace I* four feet In diameter and six
feet high. Including the legs. From this
rise# a smokestack twelve Inches In diam
eter arid four feet high to the elbow where
It turns to pass out of the building, and in
the side of thla stack Is the door through
Which the furnace is fed The lining of fire
brick Is plastered with the patent fire-proof
composition described shove. A cold blast
I* furnished by a blower operated by an
electric motor, and enters through tuyeres
tapering from 4 down to IV* Inches where
they enter the furnace. The gas for fuel is
Introduced through m %-tnch pipe, which
enters through the tuyeres, and Is fed from
a tank beneath the floor. At one side, near
the bottom. Is the vent through which the
metal Is tapped Into molds. In which It Is
cast Into Ingots. The furnace has been
erected In the rear of a storeroom In the
old Bank of North Heatlle building, at the
corner of Itattery street and First avenue,
and power is furnished by a three-horse
power motor, although only one-horse
power Is needed
The crowd of onlookers was k»pt back
from the furnace by ropes when Mr.
Vaughn began his test at 2 o'clock yester
day afternoon. Assisted by E. C, Byera.
general manager of the company. Before
the furnace the floor was covered with
piles of matte, with which a little lime
stone was mixed, and with piles of coke.
Mr Vaughn threw in alternate shovelfuls
of matte and coke, set the blower going
and turned on the gasoline Then the
furns« e began to roar He soon stopped
feeding £oke and fed nothing but matte
For thirty-seven minutes this operation
continued, and then the vent was tapped
and a stream of molten metal poured into
an Ingot mold The vent was ag;Un
closed, more matte was shoveled in and
In thirteen minutes more another Ingot
was molded After several Ingots had
in-en thus " ast. crude copper sulphide ore
from the Copper Queen claim near Index,
owned by the I.oat Creek Mining Com
pany. was fed in The sulphur in this
ore being sufficient to generate the r
quired heat, the gas was turned ofT and
the spectacle was presented of ore fur
hlahlng its own file! More ingots were
cast and the furnace was proud a prac
tical as welt as theoretical success
The advantages claimed for this furnace
were thus sMtcd to the Foat-Intelligencer
representative by Mr By» rs
"To erect a plant of ten ton* In twenty
tour hours at his mine, a miner would
have to park in about 2i*» Are brick for the
lining, a furnace bottom composed of two
pieces of iron weighing at >ut sixtj pounds
ea<-h; a very light blast pipe in sections,
and tuyeres of the same material; the
patent material for lining, which would
be cither in four cans about the sixe of a
flve gallon oil can. if It were to be used
as plaster. or In the ahap« of S»i bricks;
s blower; a three-horse pow>r electric
motor and a water wheel If the ore does
not contain enough sulphur, he would re
quire gasoline In live gallon cans. The
quantity used will depend on the charac
ter of the ore, but the c >st would be small,
for we r i"iH only use c'ght gallons Tn
hours this afternoon. The miner will
build hia furnace of the rv> k found on the
ground, line It with fire brick and with
the patent brick or plaster, connect his
l>la»t pip< and gas dine pipe. c«nt\eet the
motor and water wheel and *et the ma
> hlnerv c 'lng, \ fuel to start the Are he
tan use eilh-r char -val r wood. All the
material that will be required from out
side will w»igh from I,'"* 1 to pounds,
and can be packed on ten horses or hauled
In a single wagon load. A ten ton plant
w'll co%t Ft <*«o In battle, exclusive of the
power plsnt. and the romjpanv wi!l «. t It
up aud guarantee it to run. Mr. Vaughn
estimate* the c.*t of reducing a ton of
sulphide re at ft. and It would be pro.
port! <nste'j le?.s for a larger plant This
plant will *uve the cost of packing or
hauling or* out of the mountains to the
railroad, the freight and smelting charge*
and the building of costly wagon roads.
The furnace produces matte ready for the
reflnerr."

Primrose A. Writ Tonight.
The cry I* frequently heard that ' There
ar* no minstrels like the good old-time
minstrels," and while Messrs. Primrose &
West, who bring th» ir gr» it organisation
to the Seattle theater tonight, will no
doubt grant the truth of this proposition,
still they will very probably claim that
they are giving the public that waich is in
every way better and grander.
Negro minstrelsy Is purely an American
institution, and. Hkf all other American in
stitutions. the tendency is to combine and
consolidate. There Is enough material In
Primrose & West's present company to
hav* made ftt least five of the old-style
companies or "troupes." as they were
known. While this tendency to consolida
tion may be reprehensible in some great
lines of trade, it can hardly he called so in
the cas* of these gentlemen, who have thu*
succeeded in banding together such a great
aggregation of this class of talent In their
case It is the amusement-loving public who
are the gainers, as no attempt has been
made to Increase the prices of admission.
The great feature of this enormous attrac
tion is. first, the fact that they really have
a double company, two separate and dis
tinct organixations. numbering over sev
enty people in all. Of th* great specialists,
first and foremost, of course, is George
Primrose, who Is too well known to need
commendation; George Wilson. "Walts Me
Again, George." a funmaker who has been
before the public for twenty-five years;
Howe. Wall and Walters. Jimmie Wall,
and others of equal note. A novelty In this
season's programme Is a new march called
"The Phantom Guards." Invented and ar
ranged by William H. West, and put on by
the firm at considerable outlay for cos
tumes. light effects, etc.
"A Ran on the Buak."
Ward and Vykes. as "Percy and Harold."
have probably caused more gf-nulne laughs
and more favorable newspaper notices
than any team In the theatrical profession.
For years with that great amusement ca
terer. Tony Pastor, they received the best
possible schooling, which brought out their
great store of rich humor and spontaneous
wit. Burlesque was their fort, and an
evening spent hearing and seeing them and
their company In "A Run on the Bank'" is
one of the pleasantest things in store for
theater-goers. The piece is magnificently
mounted, and rwenty-six ladies and gentle
men are required In Its presentation Their
Initial engagement Is announced for two
nights. commencing Sunday next, at the
Seattle theater. Charles Guyer, the acro
batic comedian, who attracted every one
by his work in Hanlon Bros.' production of
• Superba" last year, is playing Row Legs,
the bartender. In Ward & Vokes' satirical
success. "A Kun on the Bank."
~%t the Third Avenue.
Not only have Johnson and Lundin
caught on at the Third Avenue theater in
their remarkable feats of Juggling and
exhibitions of strength, but Frank R«>ad
l< k and his company in "The Smuggler"
seem to have met with popular favor.
Judging from the large audiences which
greet them nightly. The play is a strong
one and the jompany Is cast to the tv-st
P -siblf advantage Miss Wolford 1* do
ing much better work than last week, and
Hiss Nettie Abbott as Polly has the best
opportunity that she has had since ner
opening here, and she is improving it.
"The Smuggler" will hold the boards for

general management of thr Oregon Rail
way A Navliratton affaire from Mr. E.
M< N>ill to A. L. Mohler. and thr removal
rf the former's headquarters to <mm*'
point tn thr Ea»t. The announcement
furnished food for gossip on railroads and
politic* amwn thr wise one* in Portland.
"Jim Hill Is behind that appointment."
said one "Mr. Mohler served under Mr.
Hill many years." said another, "and the
Napoleon of Western roads fully appre
ciate the value of his .services, although
it is said that Mr. M<>hier and Mr. Hill
have not ala-ays agreed In the past."
The opportunity for renewing the
prophecies of the gigantic combination of
all the overland roads with "Jim Hill"
as master of ceremonies over them all
was made the most of. and discussed and
received with many vivid additions and
variations. Said one railroad enthusiast:
"This more than Jim Hill. Of
course. It is the first throw In the deal by
which the Great Northern, the Northern
Pacific, the Oreron Railway A Navigation,
the Short Line, and may be the Union
Pacific will tie consolidated under one di
recting head, but it m*>ans a still greater
power behind Jim Hill. I mean the Van
derbllts. They have for some time been
stretching out to secure control of the
Western lines, and this looks as though
they had at last secured an opening. It Is
ar. open secret that not long ago the Chi
cago. St. Paul. Minneapolis A Omaha and
the Chicago A Northwestern closed a traf
fic arrangement with the Great Northern
similar to the one existing between the
Union Pacific and the Chicago A North
western. and as the Chicago. St. Paul.
Minneapolis A Omaha and the North
western are both Vanderbilt roads, it is
easy to reach the conclusion that an un
derstanding exists between Mr. Hill and
the Vanderbilts. In other words, it means
a combination of the German bankers and
the Vanderbilts. which will result In ab
solute control of all the transcontinental
rottds In the Northwest, Including the
Eastern lines In the Vanderbilt belt. It
does not follow that these different inter
ests will be under one gi«antic manage
ment. On the contrary, the policy of the
Vanderbilts has always been to run each
one of their roads separate, with a sepa
rate set of officers for each system, hold
ing each accountable for results, but all
under the all-powerful influence of one
head to see that no rate-cutting Is carried
to the Injury of the property. This, t
think, you will find will be the policy
adopted by this new combine."
Mr. Mohler already has hosts of friends
In Portland among the older railroad
men. all of whom have worked under and
tfith him for feriods covering from live
fo twenty years, and all ex.pr.ssed their
delight at his coming. Said one promi
nent railroad man, who objected to be
lnjr punted:
"Major McNeill and Mr Mohler will
make the finest railroad team that any
directors could possibly wish for who have
the true Interest of their property at
heart. They don't make 'whiter' men
than Mr. Mohler. 1 am speaking by the
card. 1 worked with him for fifteen years
and I consider him one of the best rail
road men on the American continent,
aside from the fact that he ts a gentle
man In every sense of the word. Even
years ago. when I worked with him. he
vi ls then an able, sagacious and far-pee
ing man. and I am sure that he has not
deteriorated in that time. He certainly
will be a great addition to the railroad
contingent of the Pacific coast, and Port
land merchants are extremely fortunate
to secure so able a m.tn for a cltlxen."
Mr. H C. Eikeobergj*. a well-known
railroad man. has known and been asso
ciated with -Mr. Mohler for over twenty
years He said:
"Mr. Mohler ha® had a most thorough
railroad training in both the operating
and traffic departments, and he is in
every sense of the word a first class rail
road man. Aside from that he is ex
tremely popular, not only with railroad
men, but with all who are brought in
contact with him In other words, he is
very democratic In his way®, and
you enter his office and you feel as If you
were meeting an old friend. I am satis
fied th.it he will bo very popular with the
business people of Portland."
Mr E. S Jackson, who was formerly
with the Great Northern under Mr. Moh
ler. and a personal friend of long stand
ing. added his mite to the general eulo
gies heard In all the railroad offices. He
said:
"I knew Mr. Mohler most Intimately,
and always found him a straight-forward
up-to-date, thorough-going railroad mm.
liorh in the operating and traffic depart
ments. He is an excellent man to Ret
alone with, most srenial and always ap
proachable. His door is always open,
and he abominates excluslveness. I think
the people of Portland will be satisfied
with him socially, as well as from a com
mercial standpoint."

The days to be devoted to a celebration
of July 4 were last night changed by the
executive committer having the enter
tainments tn charge, to Thursday. Friday
and Saturday, instead of Saturday. Sun
day and Monday. This was done at the
Instance of the business men. who seemed
to think such aa arrangement would fur
ther their interests.
From expressions heard at last night's
meeting, it would appear that on none of
the three days of celebration Will the
business houses close. Thi* will natural
ly affect the attendance at the various
places of entertainment. The Queen City
Good Roads Club, which had planned at
Its own expense a grand bicycle meet for
Monday afternoon and evening. »in the
supposition that on that day business
houses would be closed, considers the
change of days as putting a material ob
stacle in the way of a successful meet.
It was decided that a committee made up
of B. Schoenfeld. W. H. Lewis and Henry
Hensel should visit the merchants and
ask them to close up on Friday or Satur
day, allowing everybody at least one holi
day. J. B. MacDougall stated that he
had never closed on the Fourth and
would not do so this time.
The meeting was really called to ascer
tain the amounts needed by the various
committees. While there was not a large
representation present, the amounts asked
by the leading committees footed about
M.IOO. For the fireworks committee. Chair
man Crichton asked K.iOO for a two nights'
display. The sports committee sought s"io.
This would be distributed in prist s for the
competitive militia drill, the Lake Wash
ington regatta, the contest of hose teams
and other sports. The expenses of the
bicycle meet will be borne by the Queen
City Good Roads Club. Other committees
asked the following appropriations: Yacht
ing. $350. mining, S2OO, Illuminating, 1500,
and music,
Will A. Steele, chairman of the press
committee, reported that the expenses of
advertising the celebration throughout the
fctate would amount to about fclW. On mo
tion by Oilson this amount was allowed,
and the committee was authorized to go
ahead.
The sum so far contributed is Jl WW. This
has been raised from a careful canvass of
First and Western avenues. Second ave
nue and the lower part of town are yet un
tried.
The question of soliciting funds for the*
celebration has proved such a knotty prop
osition that it was deemed necessary by
the executive committee to appoint a so
licitor. Amoe Brown was chosen to act in
this capacity.
Those present were: Chairman I. Ro
senthal. Amos Brown, Will A Steel, Jules
Redelsheimer. W. H. Lewis. J. B. Mac-
Dougall. Henry Hensel. L. B. Younts. G.
N. Gilson. Dr. J. E. Crichton. M P.
Barnes, Will H. Parry and B Schoenfeld.
The next meeting, to be held Wednesday
nUht. will be a general one. at which all
committeemen are expected to be present.
