the eastern officials of the company These plans contemplate the erection of the sixth furnace, another converter stand. an auxiliary dust chamber to be erected on the hillside above the present dust chamber, and another great stack to carry of the smoke and fumes. The capacity of the new stack will be twice that of the present one. It will be twenty-two feet in diameter (the old one is fourteen feet), and two hundred feet in height, which is the same as the old one, but the new stack will be erected fifty feet higher on the hill.
 The enlargement of the smelter will necessitate an increase of power to operate it. Grading is already under way for a 125-foot extension to the powerhouse Additional boilers have been received and large blower has been ordered, but delivery will not be made for six months. In the mean time, a small blower will be added.
 Concrete walls are being constructed for a new bullion dump about two hun dred feet south of the smelter, the old dump having been removed to make room for the extension of the smelter building. Some changes will also have to be made in the railroad tracks ad- jacent to the smelter.
 The production of coper this mouth has averaged about the same as ir March. and nearly all the ore being smelted Is from the company's own mines. Although the company has been advised of coke shipments to the aggregate of 1400 cars, deliveries are very slow and during the past week there has not been over twenty-four hours of coke supply on hand at any time. The non-arrival of coke is at- tributed to the freight blockade on the Rock Island road
 4 very large force of miners is em- ployed and development work Is pro gressing well. No crosscut on the IA tn level, after penetrating over thir- ty feet of high grade sulphide encoun- tered barren ground, which is believed to be only an intrusion in the vein and it is expected that the crosscut will be in ore again in day or two. Upon the completion of the station being cut on the 14th level, sinking a two-compartment winze 200 feet to open the sulphide vein on the 16th lev ei will proceed as rapidly as possible. Arizona Commercial Copper Company The Arizona Commercial Copper company continues shipping about 120 tons of sulhpide ore per day from the Copper Hill mine to the Old Dominion smelter. The first carload of ore from the Black Hawk mine will go to the smelter today. This will be trial shipment and If it proves satisfactory other and larger shipments will fol low. Another boiler and larger Came ron pumps are being installed in the Black Hawk shaft. which at the depth | of 560 feet shows an increasing flow oi water. As soon ss the new pumps are working sinking will be resumed.
 Superior and Boston.
 Good progress has been made the lpast week in development work on the Black Oxide. Limestone and Great Eastern claims. The west drift in the Blsck Oxide has shown Improvement there bsing an increase of copper in the hematite. A winze will soon be started in the vein and sunk several i hundred feet A small hoist has been Installed at the Limestone shaft and sinking will now proceed faster. The crosscut in the Great Eastern was in eighty feet yesterday and looked bet ter than at any time previous. showins considerable iron in the breast It is expected to cut the Black Hawk lode at ten to fifteen feet further. Sink l, ing will soon be resumed.
 Globe Consolidated.
 An ore strike Is almost hourly ex- pected at the Globe Consolidated i'd either or both of the crosscuts on the 800 level. About $50 feet of crosscut.
