To this smelter house an ex- tension is now under construction the full width of the building and 150 feet long, in which when completed three new furnaces, the largest ever constructed, will be installed. The three new furnaces will have capac- ity more than doublv rnat of the larg- est now in use. There will be room for as many additional converter stands as the development of the business from time 70 time may de mand. The installation of these new and larger furnaces is not so much for the increase of the outp.- f cop per as to enable the company to han dle much lower grade ores than they are now smelling. The entire run of the mines at Bisbee will be put through the furnaces when the big new furnaces are :n blast The lowest grade ores will be treated and nothing lost or permitted to go to waste. All of the converters are lined in the smelter building and five car loads of copper bullion are loaded and started on their way to New York every twenty-four hours.

 Even to those who have had much to do with smelting plants the Cop per Queen plant is a marvel of com lowest and smallest detail. Every thing moves along with the precis- ion of clock work, and the production runs regular from day to day. The company smelts now not only it's own ores from Bisbee, but the concen- trates from Nacozar. and is in the market for custom ores.
 The efficient working force of the Copper Queen is large one. The men who are at the head of this vast in- dustry and are responsible for. it's management and produce the results make a small company of trained captains, everyone of whom under stands his work. in its. every detaik and fits like a cog into a Wheel in this great human machine. The ros- ter of the working force down 'eo the bosses in the various Aepartmentsf is as follows: ,isATJ35V Pr'@az | Assistant General scaaHaxaT, s. Fl.
