Five Hundred-I Ton Blast Will Be Added to Plant at
 Humbolt.
SHIPMENTS OF ORE
 CONTINUE TO POUR IN.

Scarcely in operation two months 1 the capacity of the new smelting plant
 of the Arizona Smelling company at
 Humboldt is to be increased by the ad- dition of a 800 ton blast furnace. al ready purchase by the management and to be installed as soon as deliv- cred on the ground. says the Prescott Journal Miner.
 The new furnace will be of the most improved pattern. modern in every de tail, and still further contributing to- wards placing the reduction works
 among the leading institutions of it's kind in the entire country.
 The new concentrating plant known as the De Sota mill, immediately ad- joining the smelting plant, has been finished and started on steady run. This plant has capacity of 100 tons daily, is considered to be among the best of it's kind to be had and special ly adapted to tho concentration of ores peculiar to the districts tributary to the new smelter city
 The impetus given to the mining in- dustry already in many districts by the blowing in of the smelter can be hardly estimated.
 Copper Basin, which boasted of only a few prospectors within it's borders less than year ago is fast becoming one of the busiest districts in the county.
 Edwards & Co. are pushing work with a vim. and increasing their ship ments daily, while Brow & Murphy who started opening new ground but short time ago, are now shipping from IS to 20 tons day, which they expect to increase to 40 tons daily by the 18th of next month.
 The Iron King, within a mile of the plant, which has been idle for long period up to the time of the starting of the smelter, is now giving employ ment to a large number of men, and realizing from it's product a handsome profit. Shipments from this camp, amounting at the present time to 60 tons a day, will be increased to so tons daily by the first of June.
 Eight mining concerns in the Gun ningham Pass country near the line of the 4. c. railroad, recently made a carload shipment in eight different lots to the Humboldt plant, to enable the management to determine the character of these smelling ores, and the reduction charges on the different grades. This indicates that there are eight properties in that district developed far enough along to be con- sidered in the producing class. Com plete assays and analysis will at once be made on the lots so that reduction prices can be given on the different ores.
 The Valensuella Copper company, which is operating a reduction plant in the Quartzite district, will com- mence the shipment of black copper to Humboldt sn short time, and the Arizona Smelling company recently closed contract with the Union Smelling company at Chloride. which is operating on ores from the Mid night mine, for its entire output of cop per matte.
 Consignments of ore of various sizes continue to pour in from Mohave, Maricopa and Pinal counties as we'll as from the several mining districts of Yavapai, almost all of which are. either awakening to the great advant- ages now offered or enjoying a pros perity unprecedented in the history of mining there.
