FURNACES NOW MAKING
 COPPER
Calumet & Arizona Will h. crease Output With Addi- tional furnace-Eyidence of Further Expansion Visible.

DOUGLAS, Arizona, November IA Four furnaces are now making cop per at the Calumet & Ariona smelter in this city. The fourth furnace was started Monday morning. being the No. !. the first erected ln this plant Heretofore the c. & A. has only ope- rated three furnaces, keeping one al ways in reserve. A new furnace, No. 5, was completed several months ago. but it has never been put in commas sion. It is now held as the reserve furnace to be started whenever it be- comes necessary to repair either. of the four now in operation.
 At the c. & A. there are many signs of expansion which are expected to be undertaken in the near future. The ground has been staked of for the building of the new machine shop; the new shops will be south Of the old one and will take all the space be- tween the present building and the of flee building. which is to moved furth- CT south The moving of the shops win make room for the extension to the west of the power house. An ex- cavation has been completed for . cement foundation for a new blower, which is now enroute and will be in stalled as soon as 1t arrives. This new blower will give the necessary blast for the fifth furnace. The old power house will be torn away and the machinery removed to the new one which will take the place of the present machine shops. The old power house out of the way, room will have been provided for several more furnaces to the west of the present ones.
 Several acres of ground south of the plant Is being clea-e- of stumps cd roots in preparation of planting lawns around the office and other haildings which have been planned. All the details of the expansion have not yet been completed, but 1t is safa to say that the growth at the c. q A. smelter during the next year will be
 marvellous and make it one of the
 most modern smelting plants to be found in the country.
 While the product of the c. & A. has been practically the same drrAg al the first ten months of the presaot year there has been vast expendi' ture in preparation for greater things ] by this company The management, of the c. & A. is inclined to be reti- cent about the success made in the past, but it does not require an ex- pert to see that preparation is being
 made for increasing the stream of red metal which the Calumet is gettins
 ready to pour into the lap of cnnl. merce in the very near future.
 During the past year new steel ore
 bins have been built and an elevated
 railroad has been built which now car
 ries the ore to the feed floor. Many other improvements have been made all pciptins to future "royth
 1 The o..;amzr 6 Arizoaa smelter ir Lflis city has made wonderful recc- l of production since it was started and
 is still meeting every expectation and
 more The product from three fur
 naces last month was very nearly foui
 million pounds of copper. With ar
 additional slrnace the output this
 month will be materially increased With the new blower installed it ma, be presumed that by the first of tht
 new year the Calumet 6 Arizona will have five furnaces in blsst
