Much Bullion as Wste IS 6eih9 !
 Turned out-StiII improving The man in charge of the mining ! department of the Review took dash to Douglas Sunday. Several old tim CTS armed with drills, shot guns and demijohns, got of at Slomon Springs where a spur has been provided for the accommodation of the numerous mining enterprises now in full blast in that locality. At Glance station the most conspicuous recent improve ment is galvanized water tank, while the tents and buildings put up by the Brophy brothers and Allie Sowles for the benefit of their men can be seen from the station. The Calumet Silicate bins are provided with a tramway and send about 25 tons into Douglas every day Superintendent Merrill was on the train and the new smelter was his destination. The Calumet and Arizona shelter is just getting smoothly down to business. all the kinks and irregularities in evitably encountered in starting of a new plant have been strengthened out
 
 work It is safe to assert that this new smelter is turning out more bull lion for its size than any other plant of the same kind in the United States. Since getting down to business it has produced an average of 5o,000 pounds of copper every 2i hours. This is due to the rare quality of the ore as well as to the perfect reduction sys- hoc H. ready taken steps to practically double the engiIv S..rcc:::.", ::" the tufa tounda- tions going in for the new extension The company is prepared to increase the capacity of the plant to any eS- tent on the shortest possible notice. The bars of bullion are placed on a truck, pulled by a winch up on the scales which are on a level with tho car floor, then showed on into the car on the adjustable track. The briquett- ing machine is perhaps the most per feet in the territory. converting the fiue dust into bricks under such Ire mendUous nrassn:e iha: inaS are as solid as rocks. The cooling taaks are another remarkable feature where there is a hot shoHar bath liz enn,gh to laundry all the hobos on the coast The feed floor is piled with ore rich enough to east while an elegant heap of matte has accumulated in the yard so high grade, it is absolutely freckled with copper.
 The smelter will soon be supplied with pneumatic tamping machine for lining the converters, The slag dump is not assuming proportions very rapidly as there seems to be nearly as much bullion as slag. The dump is not a very steep affair. but they have all kinds of room, the coun- try being one of magnificent dis tances'' The big 165 foot stack is emitting sulphur smoke in sullen business like sort of a way and the Calumet and Arizona smelter is doing more business for the size Of it than a badger Engineer Henderson is running the electrict slag engine. MT. Kenney from Cananea is manipE- lating the twisting machine which cle- yates the bullion to the scales. Messrs. Yowell and Jack McCuen are perform ing in the power house, while Fred Douglas is recorded as master mechan- ic. Mr. Lemin handles the pump, Aylsworth is furnace man. Foreman McDermott along with MT. Heller, are ready to meet the newspaper man kindly while Superintendent Merrill with modest curtesy makes the visitor feel at home.
 R. C. Morgan in the Mining Field.
 R. C. Morgan, one of the most eff ficient business men and popular gentlemen ever connected with the Fl Paso and South Western system, it is said will shortly sever his relations with those people and interest himself in timing He is already prominently interested in the Gold Treasure. eight miles south west of Naco in the San Jose mountains and finds the mining business entirely congenial. R. c. Morgan is born prince and his num- erous friends in this part of Arizona wish him a grand measure of sue. cess in his new field Of business oper- ations.
 A Correction.
