suit of six days run. Mr.. Conger
stated that he could have increased
this considerably by making .
thorough cleanup OF The mill, which
was not done on account Of scarcity
OF tune. The 5000 brick was the
cleanup from medium and low
grade ore. Richer ore will be run
naxt week. The company paid of
on Monday Of this week.
The Pueblo smelters claim to re-
ceive over 5000 tons q month OF
lead ores from Socorro aid the
MagdalenAs. The Billings smelter
at Soccoro does not want these ores
because II has plenty OF the same
class of Its own. Cerrillos would
he much nearear and cheaper
point to treat these ores than Pu-
eblo, and this furnishes another
link In the long chain Of evidence
confirming this the best location fer
smelters now open in the country.

Journal, Is as follows: Forty tons

Kemp, the company's metallur-
gist
"During the month Of March we
smelted 1882 tons of ore from the
old stock and 4l2l0 tons from the
new stock and 1009S tons OF con.
centrates less 10 per cent. moisture,
making total of 8Sl. 10 tone. The
ore averaged 770 per cent. copper,
The new ore averaged 1l.S0 per
cent and concentrates 9.20 per cent
1891 tons Of coke, 6l.56 tons Of iron
ore and silly tons of limestone were
consumed. The per cent of coke
was 1880 on the copper ore smelt-
ed. This could have been consider.
ably reduced had the furnace been
smelling day and night. The con
sumption of both coke and iron ore
was considerably reduced under the
past smelling, and at the present
writing we are using no iron as y
fiux. When smelling continuously
the ore can be treated with 1856
per cent. coke. Three days wal
lost on account of water jackets
leaking. We produced twenty
tons of fine dust during the month
which will be made into bricks at {
cost OF 75 cents per ton, and re
smelted. There has been consider
