 The manufacture of gas by the De- croft Copper company is conducted on a plan quise different from those gen efally in operation elsewhere, says the | Morenci Standard. There are two LyOmis generators on the plant. which when put into blast are supplied with 0ituminous coal from which the com modity is made. Through these ger | orators is passed in a downward cur rent stream of air and steam, the steam being generated by passing the hot gas through a tubular boiler, from which it is returned tO the LoOmis | generators mixed with air, and in this way the gas is produced. This product then undergoes what is known as a scru o5iug process, which frees it from carb0nic acid, soot ard such other im- purities as are naturally associated with the gas in it's impure state. After it is thoroughly Cleansed it is passed into the holder, from whichi tiS drawn as needed to supply the various de- partments with power. The capacity of the plant is over 2,OOO,OOO feet per day, which is it's actual production
 The cost of each horsepower genera. ted by gas as compared with steam if about as one is to four, but when the added cost of freight and transfer is reckoned it reduces the rates in favor of gas
