Copper Queen

Copper Queen The most interesting feature is the big. stack where work has been re stunned in earnest. One is compelled to admire the neryy mechanics who handle this work already at,'a height of 200 feet and who from the ground resemble Lilliputians endeayoring to reach heaven in advance of the time card. These calm days the smoke rises vertically which enabres t:le workmen on the .scsffold. to put in full time The steel is cut. rolled and bored in sections and much If not all of IL IS oa the ground. It will be hoisted b' tue winch and rivited above. The scaffelcing will be completed today and the work of placing the metal will be gin immediately The plan of con struction on the extension of the big stack consists substantially of false work reaching to the top of the old stack which in exact figures is POP feet six inches high.
 One might wonder why such heavy timbers and such a system of boitins were employed on this false work but the outcome easily explains it.
 On the top of the false work a plat form will be formed of IF by F tim bers and on this the 60 foot extension will be built and when completed. rolled bodily on rollers upon which t is built. over to the old stack and rivit- ed on.
 The smeiter will not shut down un- til the new extension is ready to be placed. and then but four hours. and if the contractor fails to place il prop eriy in that time he will be responsible for all damages arising out of further delay.
 The steel on the new stack is five sixteenths Medford steel. The false work will not rise aobve the top of the old stack on the outside as the boiler men will build from the inside It was stated by splendid authority that it would require four weeks un- der the most favorable circumstances to complete the stack and that consid- eging the delay occasioncd by the pres ence of smoke when the wind was un- favorable. it would probably require twice that time Thirty more inches uf timber consisting of eye beams re main to be placed when the false work shall have been completed. IL is fit ting that the names of the fearless workmeu vho are handling this peril ous work should appear in the form o q species of roll of honor since il ha' been very difficult 10 secure men witl that particular variety of nerve.

 One man on the work stated tha the men on the ground looked abou five feet shorter than at close range
 This will be the highes steel stack in the west. It pleaSant 10 reflect that this pal ticular feature of the great smeltin plant, exceeds in height anything i the lake country, the tallest structur of the kind in that field being th stack on the Red Jacket hoist, whic is 250 feet.
 At the Queen scene of great ac ivity was in evidence along the track anG among the mixing pits where tn great scrapers propelled by engine were levelling down thousands of tor of ore mixed with Aux and ready respond to the call of the might steam shovels and go to the furnace for treatment.
