Or the hillside to the left of the canyon and about on a level with the old reduction plant the new concentrating mill is being erect ed The steel frames are being set on concrete foundations which seem to cover acres of the space. This con centrator will be the largest in the state of Sonora and will treat more than one thousand tons of ore daily when complete. Above it a high line railroad has been graded and on this road the ore will be brought from the Pilares mine and dumped into the mill and from there it will go through the various processes of concentration by gravitation from one to another until it is finally dumped into cars on an- other railroad track beneath the mill and started on its way to Douglas, where 1t will be reduced to copper bullion This new concentrator is built on improved and modern plans and mining men acquainted with such matters say it will be superior to any other of the kind in existence
