 some weeks ago the Independent made mention of the fact that eXten- sivc improvements were contemplated | at the Silver City Reduction works which would double ;he capacity of the | plant. The plans arc now being pre- pared for new furnace, with ca pacity of POO tons, work upon which | will be commenced in a few days. | Another pleasing feature in this con ncction is that it will neccssitate the | employment of much larger force at | the plant. With the new furnace the | total capacity of the plant will be 500 1 tons daily. Another improvement | recently made has been the erection | of large ventilators on the roof Of the | shelter which makes great difference | in tho air where the men work. An idea of the operations which are being | conducted by the company can be ob- | taincd by the fact that thero are now lSO names on the payroll. This in crease in tho capacity of the plant has been found necessary by reason of tho large ore receipts which have for several months been crowding the plant to such an extent that nearly half of the ore of this section has been going to Fl Paso for treatment.
