DOUGLAS SHELTERS
 LARGEST MONTH.
More Copper Turned Out Than In Any
 Previous Month in History.

The smelters in Douglas have just closed the largest months business since they were put in commission. Notwithstanding the output for the month is the largest in the history of the two plants operating here, there is promise of steady increase for sev- eral months to come. At the c. & A. the output for May was 3,S00. .00U pounds. Here new furnace has been completed and is ready to re- ceiye the ore and blast as soon as the necessary power can be supplied. The delay in starting this furnace was caused by the necessity of taking two large boilers away from the smelters some weeks ago for use at one of the mines in Bisbee. As soon as these boilers can be replaced the new fur mace vii be started, when the output will be increased twenty-five per cent or more.
 In addition to the new blast furnace now ready at the c. & A. 1t is known that the company is about ready to begin the work of providing a rever- beratory furnace for the treatment of fiue dust, stag and also certain char actcr of ores taken frcm the Bisbee mines. Superintendent James Woods is now in Butte, Montana. where re- verberatory furnaces are used exten- sively and with satisfactory results. Before going to Butte Mir. Wood visit. ed Morenci and made examination of the reverberatory furnace recently in- stalled by the Detroit Copper Com pany. This furnace is said to be giv- ing excellent results.
 The Copper Queen in Douglas are also getting ready to add several re. verberatory furnaces to their plant. The new railroad track which is in- tended to bring ore to the feed floor of the c. & A. is now about complete, the steel rail being laid. but 1t will be some time before this new method of conveying ore to the furnaces is put in operation.
 At Nzeoxari.
 At Nacozari the Moctezuma Copper Company is fast getting ready to be- gin work on the proposed new concen- trating mill. This will be one of the largest mills in the southwest; it's ca pacity will be one thousand tons of ore per day, and its construction will require an expenditure of one million dollars. Several miles of narrow gauge railroad will have to be built to bring the ore from the mines to the mill, and this work is going on now, and also the grading for the standard gauge track which will be carried to the mill
 The plans for the new mill have been completed, and orders sent for ward for large amounts of the mater ial. It is estimated that it will re- rfa ff hfe d. for operation. When 1t is completed it will mean great increase in the output from Nacozari. The present mill at Nscozari is sending forward its usual output of concentrates to the Copper Queen smelter, and sending some to Globe.
 The new smelter at Cumpas is run ming and reports from it are encourag- ing. This smelter is owned by the Transvaal company, though the ore now being smelted is not all supplied by the mines of that company. The Belen Mining Company, operating twenty-five miles from Cumpas, Is sending considerable ore to the Trans yaal smelter, and custom more is be- ing received from other sources.
 The Ei Globo gold mill is making good success, and there Is we'll grounded report to the effect that this mill is soon to be enlarged as a result of its work during the last three or four months. It has already sent for ward several handsome gold bars, and has, in addition, made several ship ments of high grade concentrates to the shelter at Fl Paso. This property Is regarded as an excellent one, with every prospect of yielding fortunes to its owners. The Fl Globo was devel- oped by the Romadka Brothers, and R. A. Romadka is now in charge of the work there.
