there are now eleven of the reVeT
beratory furnaces in operation; ant
| in course of few days fourteen
will be running. Each furnace hal
capacity of about 1920 pounds
every twenty-fOur hours, and the
furnaces are charged about every
tsix hours. With nine furnaces {
day, car of matte of between
ten and eleven tons has been
turned out per day for some time
past. and when the fourteen are
| running, this output will be in
creased about fifty per cent. Fifty
per cent. at least, for it is a well
known fact that for some time after
| its completion, very often over
month nothing like its full capacity
of output is reached by new fur
mace. The absorption of metals IN the
bottom is so great that for the first
three or four days, the whole of the
charges is absorbed, and for long
time. only a small proportion of the
charges. though an ever increasing
proportion of matte, is rendered up
until, at last, the bottoms become
solidified, and the furnace yields up
it's full amount of precious metals.
1t is considered that even now,
three of the nine furnaces have not
yet attained their maturity. The
product therefore of the fourteen,
when they become veterans, must
necessarily become very great.
The present plan is to put up
twenty-five new furnaces, making
together with the old ones, twenty
six in all. These furnaces, suppos-
ing they are kept going in the same
kind of ore, and run night and day
should have a capacity of at least
three cars of copper matte daily
and be able to handle 125 tons of ore
each day; which at the present rate
would result in the production o.
$50, 900 in copper matte each weel
the present output being oYel
$4,000 each week.
But the result will be better still
for
A REFINERY
has been planned, laid out and tn
work commenced; and work on /
was suspended only because of Tn,
extreme cold weather, which was
felt as severely at Tintic as any
where else some three weeks ago
This refinery will enable the owner
to extract all the gold and silve
out of the matte before 1t L
, shipped away. and thus expens.
, will be saved. The refinery vii
be put up early in the spring, ant
finished with the same haste ant
solidity which is characteristic o
, everything the new company does.
Immediately north OF the larg
frame building the new ore crusher
: are to be placed, so as to make tn
, transportation of ore from tn
crusher to the furnaces as ligh
as possible, and add to the con
Yenience and efficiency of the Worl
= to be done. The capacity Of the OIL
crusher is fully taxed in keepin:
the furnaces now fired up supplies
, with ore, so that additional crusher
have become an indispensable requl
site to the successful operation
the new furnaces, and three ne'
Blake crushers are now being pu
up at the sight selected, with Cor
} nish rolls and revolving screws.
, CONCENTRATING WORKS
Have also been erected il
5 the same vicinity. They ar
built by Mr.. McKim, who's
new method has been operated
: successfully at Park City. Thes
! works are intended to be used i
: concentrating the tailings, some c
g which, after a careful assay, ar
shown to contain a vast deal of gel
: and silver, and which can be worke
h to great profit. The taillngs O
& which the concentrating works wi
/. operate, were produced by the oil
/ mill, and assays have shown tia
n only Is per cent. of the metal wa
: taken out, the remaining 55 pr
n cent. running off in the tailing'
/. The concentrating works, therefor
n will be a source of profit in then
: selves, independent Of the mine
y smelters. =,
, Other improvements are decide
a upon and contemplated in the san
2 quarter. For instance, 1t has bee
j. so difficult, not to say expensiy
It to secure brick at the mill, that tt
d company has determined to man
le facture its own. The clay is theI

q is needed will be manufactured
g. the ground, and the cost of tran
i portation thus saved. This is pa
g. ticularly the case with reference
E. friedrich, which has hitherto hs
a. to brought from Colorado at a
a. we're expense in freight; whereas
at fine material for friedrich, contail
to ing 95 per cent. of SILICA, lies clio
by, and has only to be quarried al
transported to a kiln, the found
ton of which is low erected on t.
he property. AS will readily he see
Q, this will be a source Of great SAW
10 | to the company, considering Cd
re each brick brought from Colora
in costs liz cents, while those to
lie manufactured will cost just t
ar same as common brit
