Copper smelting breakthrough in New Baltimore
A late Wisconsin Enquirer report states W Alford and P W Thomas of New Baltimore achieved copper smelting success. They built a simple furnace for ten dollars and on September 28 smelted 2,500 pounds of ore to yield about 700 pounds of pig copper deemed superior to South American copper. The process took nine hours and both men had no prior smelting experience. This milestone boosts Derroin territory with rich ore. Population 9,000 per census.
