ANOTHER FURNACE FOR THE
 SHELTER.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

No better evidence of the immense aineral resources of northern Arizona oan be desired than is seen at the plant ef tho Arizona Smclting company at Humboldt. at which the dnily receipts of ore are now between t5O and 300 tons, with the capacity of the plant Ssing increased as fast as the machin' esy can be delivered. After bciug blown in. in tho early part of April, tAe management of the concern soon rsalized that the capacity of tho plant vas too small for tho treatment of the supplies of orc boring in. and at once ordered large blast furnace. which sAs later installed.
 Scarcely had the new blast furnace bren pressed into scrivicc than it was sscn that tho capacity of the plant was aill too limited to mcc, the increased demand on 1t by the over increasing shipments of ore from all over the northern part of tho Territory, and only few days ago another blast furnace double the capacity of the one recently installed was purchased from tho man. afacturcrs, to bc erected as soon as de- hvcrcd.
 With this new plant in operation the management expects that the daily ore receipts will reach the I,000-ton mark. and this before the frs, of the coming year.
 This month $ production of copper at the plant will be about 6O0,o00 pounds, and it is estimated that tho monthly production for November will reach the 100000 pound mark. Over i5o tons day are now being treated.
 With the completion of the aerial tramwsy from the Blue Boil mine to the railroad that mine has been started with a force of fifty miners. The tramway is running in first class shape, every detail of it working perfect. Regular daily shipments of ore are now being delivered at the Humboldt plant from this mine.
 Contracts were recently closed with the management of the Troy Manhst. tan mines at Kelvin for the delivery at the shelter of 3O,oO0 tons of irony copper orc in daily lots of 100 tons CT over, and with the Calumet Copper company, also of Kelvin, for n 75.ton daily shipment. From 50 to so tons of ore a day are being delivered from the Iron King mine, at Blanchard, and the management of the mine is mak. ing preparation to increase the product Tue Lelan Mining company, the Savoy Mining company and Midnight mine, at Chloride, Mohave county, have recently entered tho list of shippers to the s@elteL the latter mine, owned by Kean tt. Charles, editor of Our Mineral Wealth, at Kingman, being now ip shape to deliver q large output.
 Steady consignmcnts of ore and con. eentrates daily roach the smelter from the Lincoln Gold Mining company, tho Tiger Gold company and Cecil q. Ton. oell, operating the McCabe and Glad. stone mines, his shipments averaging about 100 tons daily. The Poland com psny continues it's shipments of gold iron concentrates and the Do Soto mine is increasing its output. From the Edwards Brothers and Brown and Murphy, operating the properties of the Commercial Mining company, in Cop per Basin, about B tons a day arc re ceived and the National Development company is shipping from 900 to iOC tons month from the Bryan group of mines near Kelvin. Numerous other shipments arc received from time tt time of high grade ore, the ones mon tioned being only the large and steady producers.
 Since tho plant was first blown ir ore from lH different concerns hay, been treated and q number of others encouraged by the good returns Tc ceived by the present shippers, are now getting in shape to enter the shipping list and place their mines in the pro ducing class.
 With silver nt 70 and copper at 22h, and a market for all the ores produce, within easy reach, it Is reasonable {. expect that the coming year will wit ness n revival in the mining industr, or this section unprccendentcd in th, history of the Territory.
