and one Nordberg, with combined ca pacity of 1900 cubic feet of air to each revolution, running No. 10 Corners vile blowers; one compound Alls- Chalmers engine, running a No. blower: two Buckeye engines, running electric generators; one Prescott con
 densor and two Prescott circulating pumps; two rotary pumps and two high pressure blowers for supplying
 air for pumping water for the plant
 from a well driven 10 100 foot depth.
 The scheme of improvement which was inaugurated in the past year col
 templates the changing of all the con verter stands to the opposite side of the building, the erection of new stand and the making room for two new 5O0-ton furnaces, the lengthen- ing of the present furnaces fifteen feet,
 to correspond with the modern and best accepted methods of reduction,
 as in operation at Butte and else where in the most modern plants, in-
 creasing the capacity of each from it's
 present 300 tons to 800 tons, and gir ling a total maximum capacity of $500 tons and an average of 5000 tons, as
 against the present 1500 tons and l2OO tons, respectively. It further entails the changing of 7sOS linear feet oi lfour-foot railroad track in the track age system, to enable the handling oi lslag and fiue dust in reverbatories anc
 the installing of such reverbratories 1.-two new machine, plate and black
 smith shops, each 4Sxs4 feet, givins employment to about 50 additional me
 chanics; an addition to the powe
 house of 1O0x11O feet, with the installa
 ton of machinery raising the capacit.
 from 173O horse power to 3730 hors
 power, thus more than doubling it, an'
 a general remodelling and an increas of equipment which has been il
 progress the greater part of the yea
 and now goes on uninterruptedly. The greater part of the new machiI n cry is now in and consists of two nov i, Connersville blowers 14-2Sx3G and eac
 with a capacity of 300 cubic feet c a air per revolution; a Nordberg blowin engine 22x4s-4S steam and 52-52x4 . air; a new triple expansion Prescott
 circulating pump S-12-20-22x24, whic equals the combined capacity of tn . two now in operation, and thus double the capacity, 800 kilowatt electri , unit steam turbine engine with mote , generators of 15O kilowatt capacity; 4 Prescott vertical air pump and col ' densor, Admiralty type, 14-25-95x24; ,t 25O horse power marine boiler and il i, dependent blast lines with 42-inc ,s pipes for the new blast furnaces.
 h. As stated above, most of the machil I. cry has been installed or is on tn d ground ready for installation. The tw h. new machine, plate and blacksmit n shops, have been completed and al g in use, each being 4SxS4 feet, th ,el 100x11O feet of addition to the pow; d lhouse has been made, but work hs eInot yet been commenced on the chan r. ing of the converter stands or the is teration of the traekage system. Thu .o will the capacity of the Calumet ,e Arizona reduction works be more tha ,r doubled and thus will room be mat rs for still further expansion which m and has ever been the policy of u k company, although the present capa ne ity of the plant is sufficient to care f i'd everything in sight.
 e. In the past the number of men el ,r- ployed at the works has averaged VI n- over 400. wages have been at t es highest there have been no lab
 troubles and today the operatives fe IT, that they are receiving compensati of to the limit of the company's abilit of and while elsewhere the forces ha er been reduced, here they have done b am ter than remain stationary and req we show an increased force of employ of thus being to large extent respon -as ble for the continued prosperity ,es the Shelter City.
 ,se Heretofore 1900 tons of ore hs sry been required for the average da wo run and later more than twice t ITS amount will be needed; 1so tons
