DOUGLAS SHELTER
JULY PRODUCTION
LAST MONTHS OUTPUT LARGER
THAN FOR ANY PREVIOUS
MONTH OF THE YEAR--C. & A.
PRODUCTION AT MAXIMUM.

The production of copper for the
month of July at the Douglas shelters
was larger than for any previous month
this year. The total was approximately
| 12,250000 pounds, of which the Copper
Queen produced 100000 pounds and
the Calumet & Arizona produced 1850
600. This is not very far below the
maximum production at these two
| smelters since they began operation.
The production at the Queen for July,
1908, was only half million pounds
less than the total for July, 1907, though
| a year ago more furnaces We're in OPP
Grafton. 1t is believed that the Copper
Queen has produced more bullion dur
ing the first seven months of 1905 from
its own ores than it did during the sew
en- corresponding months in 1907. This
is explained by several causes. One is
the almost total loss of custom ore
which was coming from the various dis
tricts during the first half of 1907 and
amounted to an important per cent of
the total charge fed into the furnaces.
Another cause for the light production
of bullion in 1907 was the large amount
of low grade ore utilized and still an
other was the smelling of the Stag from
the old dumps of Bisbee.
Seven furnaces are now in commits
sion at the Queen as again nine year
ago. The varying quality of ore may
be illustrated by the fact that the
Queen smelter is now only using $50
tons OF lime daily as fux, whereas a
year ago 500 tons of lime were required
daily to temper the ore in the fur
naces.
The present force at the Queen
amounts probably to about 70 per cent
of what it was when operations were
at the maximum. 1t will be year the
first of September since the financial
slump hit the country, causing rapid
decline in the price of copper. During
September, 1907, production was cur
tailed at the Queen as was the case
with all copper companies. in the west.
However, all the reduction in the force
at the Queen during the year may not
be attributed to the curtailment of pro-
duction; economical features have been
provided which made it possible to dis
pense with number Of laborers, most
ly Mexicans. For instance, the installa
ton Of the crushing plant at the lime
quarry dispensed with a number of la
borers at the ore pits at the smelter
where, under the old method of handling
the lime, it was unloaded from the
ears and spread over the top of the
ore beds by men with shovels, now the
lime rock Is crushed at the quarry and
when it is brought to the smelter it is
dumped into bins from which it is taken
into the small furnace feeding ears au-
tomatically. The two new casting APP
paratus installed at the Queen have
also dispensed with the number of men,
Aside from the sampling works, the
machine shops and ON the ore beds the
curtailment of the operating force has
not been serious. OF course the con-
struction force which was present at the
Queen almost constantly up to a year
ago is not now visible.
The feature at theCalumet & Arizona |
smelter this week was the flooding of |
