Since the iEst OF the year heavy
ralus have caused a great deal OF
trouble Ia the reduction works at Cliff

both smelters was a lack OF ore, caused
by the Coronado road being washed
out. The Arizona company lost less
time than the Shannon company be-
cause IL could bring ore from the
Longfellow, which is lower down the
mountain than the Shannon niue,
and the track would be open to the
Longfellow first.
