Bisbee daily review., 1907-05-12

 and A, the important features notice able are the many evidences of growth of the plant. During the last two weeks the extension to the smelter building on the east end has been erected and the work of putting the roof on is going forward. This exten- sion is 125 feet and like extension is to be put on the west end oi the mon ster building as soon as the present work is completed. The foundation for the fiftyfoot extension of the pow erhouse has been completed, including foundations for the ponderous engines and blowers which will occupy it Nine furnaces are now constantly in ser vice and the new one, No. 10, is about completed and will be blown in as soon as ready. A mammoth furnace is under consideration and is expect ed to be under way very soon after tho completion of No. 10; this furnace will have a capacity of about 1900 tons of ore daily or more than the ca pacity of three of the present furnaces. The proposition to install rererbera- tory furnaces for the treatment of the 6ue dust and fine dust ores is yet under consideration. The demand on the Queen plant by custom ores is gradually growing and the number of men required to operate the plant is increasing steadily, this week 1t be- coming necessary to add ar additional man to the timekeeper's office. Here tofore five men in the timekeeper's of fee, including Timekeeper Henry haua haaT1 a ahle tn lrnan rannrd of the men at work, but from now on six men will be required to do the work During the week there has been some uneasinesS on account of the scarcity of coke, but during the last few days increased arrivals of coke cars has restored confidence. A large number of new cars for the Fl Paso and Southwestern railroad have just been completed in Pittsburg and they are being loaded with eastern coke and forwarded to Douglas. When these cars begin to arrive in addition to the regular shipments from Dawson it is expected that good reserve pile will be possible.
 THE SHATTUck.
 During the week the work of the surveyors from Bisbee of surveying the site of the new Shattuck Smelter was completed and the stakes for the main building have been set. The first work will be the sinking of a well which is to supply the plant with wat CT. The experiments of the Copper Queen and Calumet and Arizona in developing water is an assurance that the Shattuck will have no trouble in securing an abundance of water con venient to the works. The final plans for the Shattuck smelter are now be- ing gone over by the officers of the company and as soon as they receive final approval they will be placed in the hands of contractors who will con struct the buildings and supply them with required machinery. The Shat tuck will have a beautiful location, southwest of the Calumet smelter and almost due west of the Copper Queen. The Douglas Street Railway company is already planning to extend their line to the Shattuck; it will require about one-quarter of a mile of track to reacn the site. The Shattuck company continues to send to the Copper Queen regular shipments of ore and will con tinue these shipments. it is presumed, until the new plant is completed.
 PLENTY OF ORE COMING
 Whatever has been the effect of the strike of the Federation miners in Bis bee it can be truthfully said that no real injury has been done to Douglas. The smelters have not lost even one furnace for an hour since the strike was inaugurated. Reserve piles were relied upon partially for few days. but daily receipts are now ample Q keep the charges going into the rno,1fhe nf fi.a crraaf furnace
