Smelter Building and Foundry to be Enlarged - Other Improvements Also PlanneG-Silent on Nacozari Extension.

Douglas, Sept 6-Walter Douglas, general manager of all the Copper Queen interests at Bisbee and Doug las, was in this city Sunday for the first time since his trip to the woods of Quebec.
 MT. was seen by reporter, says the International American, and was asked what Improvements were to be made at the smelter in this city.

The furnace capacity is large enough at present, but converter capacity is lacking and two new converters will remedy that. as well as the foundry. Other inn provements will be made later.

Just what will bring about this very de- sirable condition he did not state but Mir. Douglas knows what he is talk ing about and the Phelps-Dodge com pany may have something up its sleeve that will bring a prosperous season.
