To Use OIL as Fuel.

At Senator ". A. Clark's great United

mire, in Arizona, two Of the largest
copper mines in the world, oil is to he
svbstituted for coal and coke as fuel
Fer several weeks thorough tests have
been In progress, and oil has proved
satisfactory ut both plants. The fuel
now used at the United Verde comes
from Senator Clark's mines at Gallup,
II. NJ, and the United Verde Co. now
pays $40, FER month for freight
charges alone on coal and coke. The
Old Dominion consumption is not
nearly so great, but requires many
thousand tors each year.
Experiments are in 10 progress in
many other copper plants, including
the Shannon property, and that Of the
Detroit Copper Co., in the Clifton dis.
trict. and it is likely that oil will become
generally used In the operation of hun.
dreds Of plants, where the high freight
rates put coal prices SO high that opera.
tion is now unproHta The oil to be
used will come from Southern California
and Texas, althoueh recent petro cum
discoveries In Arizona lead to the be
lief that this territory may provide itf
