COPPER QUEEN
 IS SPREADING
WILL HAVE EIGHT MAMMOTH
 FURNACES LATER ON

FURNACES LATER ON Yards Filled With Machinery Which |
 Will Be Put in Place as Fast as
 Possibie-Other Things Seen
 The Copper Queen smelter has not made any remarkable progress since I last visited by a Review representa- tive. They have had serious difficulty | in getting material on the ground. Just the same every time you visit these works. your impressions grow from interest to amazement and aston | ishment. They are already elaborat 1 ing on their original plans and will have eight mammoth furnaces and converters to correspond when ready for operations. The steel frame for the main shelter building is up and presents an interesting appearance from the Calumet shelter, a mile away. The foundation for the power house is completed with a forest of ponderous machinery. Several locomo
 tive driving trucks being turned out bright and new the day We were there. A 75 foot derrick is built near the electric power house for the pur-
 pose of drilling for artesian. water l uS
 The yards are strewn with massive
 machinery including three gigantic blowers capable of manufacturing cy- clones to order, five furnace founda-
 tions and as many converter stands are in position The steam shovel is scooping out the big mixers, going through the earth as they would handle so much brown sugar. The l Sr~ l.; 1 top of the shelter will soon loom up
 and the immense reduction plant will graudally assume form and proper tions till the whirr of a thousand
 wheels, the belching of sulphur smoke,
 he whizz of hundred tuyars and the red vomit of a dozen converters an-
 nounce the birth of a mighty enter prise.
 Douglas as She Is.
 The indefnabIe protoplasm of enter prise seems inherent in Arizona soil. When the ray of the sun of progress fall upon it, it develops with a sud denness that amazes even ans Ari- zonian and taxes the creuIity of his
 eastern cousin beyond measure. The Apache, the cayote, the gila monster
 and the cactus can no longer feel SC | cure under the turquoise sky of Ari-
 zona. No spot is so thirsty and for bidding but what the hand of pro gross is liable to attach the obstre- | porous pearl oil can to their spinal
 extremeties and start them to the bad lands, then before the track of the feeting cayote fades out in the sur | face of the dark sandy loam," brick
 and stone and steel assemble till ma | jestic buildings cucumber the earth in bewildering profusion, towering smoke
 stacks carry their black banners above
 the clouds. the grizzly cactus is fenced in as curiosity The Gila monster
 is pickled in alcohol that future gener-
 aJions may rubber at his exquisite mug. The Timber jackrabbit hikes to the foot hills and the old timer is rubbing his eyes in astonishment at i the marvellous transformation. All this applies to Douglas, nestled on the
 bosom of the Sulphur Springs valley
 as cute as the composite photograph
 of hundred prize babies. It is i'm possible to mention the new improve | ments in Douglas as fast as they
 spring up. By the time you get through describing the two story brick block | in front of you, they have rushed a seven room cottage together behind
 you, and it keeps you turning round ' so fast it makes you dizzy and you proceed to hold up a horse rack to
 rest yourself. and they say incharitable things about you, and throw up sixth
 street to you. So I won't try to list
 the latest Improvements. Brophy's
 new bank building is going to be a handsome pile of brick, and perhaps
 20 other brick buildings are going up and settling down by turns. Duglas bricklayers union No was organiz- | ed last week with a membership of 20.
 It is the second union in the territory
 the other one being Tucson No. 1,
 They are talking of organizing a K.
 of P lodge at which time and place there won't be mo fun ner nuthin." :" The street car people have built 3
 round house for their rolling stock | which has no. rolled into Douglas yet. They have been unable to get track
 material, and in the meantime their grade comes in very hand for 1 wheelmen. Then the city has a tub on tower about sixty feet high, and
 the tower is getting higher every day. l They are putting a roof over the tub
 to keep the water out.
 We ran into the Dispatch office where Frank Dorr and his better two thirds were up to their eyebrows in
 worR Advertising and job work was coming in by the wheelbarrow load and going out on drays. Brother Dorr and company are first class news |
