the new furnaces being located on practically the same floor space.
 No. furnace is being torn down. and in the course of the next month or six weeks another new furnace will De in commission on the same loca- tion. with an increased capacity of 22 1-3 per cent over the old furnace. One Of the main features of improve mcnt will be in the fact that these new furnaces should run for nearly two years without any serious re pairs. whereas the old furnaces repre- sent an expense to the company of from $5,OOO to $10,00Q per month. to keep them in working condition.
 Greene Consolidated development
 work and improvements in the mining division are going right along, keeping race with the. rapid march in other divisions. Superintendent Kirk is steadily getting better and better re- suits from the line of development he has carried on and from extension of the caving and slicing systems which is keeping ahead. Mine production is being kept at the figures required. The workings were never in better shap, which also applies to general condi- tions affecting the mining division. Of new development lately started, shaft F and the new Prieta shaft attract particular interest. Shaft F is mak. ing excellent progress in sinking 10 the 9th level of the Veta Grande on the great Oversight ore body. The Prieta near the north line of the Cauanea-
 Bisbee, is down about fifty feet and will soon be ready for a hoist which
 will be taken to it. A pipe line Tor water which has been decided upon
 for supply of Cananea Central will probably run a branch to the Prieta. in such event giving that quarter Of the district a supplyy which can be made of much convenience.
 Naturally it is the Greene-Cananea
 which will hold the center of the boards in the eyes of the stockholders during the next several months of work preparatory to putting the ores of the property steadily in large quan- titles on the move to the smelter
 Meantime the regular shipments from the workings of the America. made up from ore being displaced through de velopment and the driving of the main delivery tunnel. are doing very neatly in the matter of aiding in the payment of operating expenses.
 Stockholders have occasion to feel good over the. above fact and occasion to feel better still over the way they are opening up more and more rich ground in the Bonanza workings of the property and the way they are crowd ing along all work that has been map ped out to the end of bringing about heavy production at the earliest pOSsi- ble date. In connection with new ore discoveries the third level has now been opened 10 sufficient extent to demonstrate beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Bonanz;. ore is there just as strong as on the upper levels. The Assure which has been cut has let them into the black sUlphide ore body with every favorable condition sur rounding for further depth that pre- vails above This third level work is at ITO feet and there is nothing iu the showing there which would indicate l that expectation might not be reason ably entertained that several more lev | els will find conditions unchanged so
 Iar as desirability may be concerned. 1 En the way of crUwdius work the2e ] ,as been much doing in the new main working shaft which gives indicz tiOI !

 today to a depth of 151 feet and 9 in. l cles and it is exactly that measure

 cap drive ii. Tomorrow cutting of the
 station at this point in the shaft will begin and in a very little while the
 tunnel will be driving from both ends Of course it is a big piece of work
 and and is going to require time. Ii it is got through during the first part of August as is now expected, record work will have been done. As soon as
 it is through the mine will get into heavy shipping for good. Everything
 will be ready for it by that time. The
 railroad is now practically ready for action, tue grade down to the ore bins
 being well underway. At the site for | the ere bins grading has been com menced for them and foundations will soon be going in These bins are to
 have a capacity of 500 tons. They will
 be filled by machinery operated from
 the main shaft. practically automati-
 cally. In turn they will dump directly | into the ore cars on the railroad track, They will be erected at about the cen
 ter of the site which has been chosen, room being left on both ends so that
 additions can conveniently be made at
 any time needed.
 Prospecting continues over the
 ground of the Central with results at
