STORY OF ENTERPRISE THAT
 MADE THE CITY OF DOUGLAS

ials used for the lining or the great stands which has to be re- newed daily. as 1t burns out with that frequency.
 Along the way of enlargements and made in the past year We may mention a fifty-four foot ad- dition to the power house and the in stallation of two blower engines and blowers therein, with 750 added horse J power, six miles of additional track laid in and about the works of the company which were absolutely need ed to handle the incoming and outgo- ing cars, indispensable for the receiy- ing and shipping of the supplies and output, an increase of 30 men in the sampling department, new and mod ern reverbratory of mammoth propor- tions, new casting machine for bull lion bars and a new electric crane.
 Thus in it's plant, about mile west of the city, which was started in con structiOn in May, 1901, completed near y three years later in March, 1904, when the first run of metal was made, has this company grown. Then there were five furnaces, each 17X3h feet, four Sx1O feet converter stands while today there are ten furnaces, eight con yerter stands, eight batteries of 500 horse power boilers. Today there is. the power house 4O4x110 feet in di- mensions, with eight converter engines and 25OO horse power, eleven blower engines of 32O0 horse power, four electric engines of 2500 horse power, and compressors of 400 horse power. The electric plant consists of four dy- namos with a capacity of 2O0O kilo- watts, and the capacity of the entire power plant is $500 horse power.
 With machine shops ot 216xS0 feet, boiler shops 144xS0 feet, and found " 16OxSG feet the three departments alone give employment to nearly 750 skilled mechanics and men employed in repair gangs.
 The electrical generating plant was made so extensive at the outset that additions have never been found nee essary and indeed the requirements now seldom necessitate more than hali of its capacity, including the power which is furnished by the company to the Douglas Street Railway com pany.
 The reasons which governed thu company in removing its reduction works to Douglas are to be found il . the geographical position of the cit! on the boundary line of Mexico, wit the great mineral wealth of Sonort to the south, southeast and southwest , the Warren district, where are tn :. mines at Bisbee, but receives conceI Icompany's mines, to the west, and mir - leral wealth being developed to tn north, east and west and contiguous | lit, is undoubtedly the richest sectio !, the world knows. Thus tae Coppe !, Queen reduces not alone the vas !, quantities of its own ores from it ltrates from Nacozari and Moctezum; :. refractory ores from Globe, and ore
 from the Imperial and other mine west of and about Tucson, various otl Ter Sonora points and from many ( the New Mexico camps and it's custoI
 business has steadily shown an il crease from the outset until, as state it has reached this year to 10000 tor lin a month. In this broad and exte isive field which surrounds the Co :, lper Queen smelter with a wealth !. minerals which simply is inestimab lit can readily be seen that there ca
 be no limit set to the future possibi
 ties of the present second greate
 shelter in the world, and the thoug .U becomes too vast for ordinary compr ,Ihension when one conceives that th ~ country is in reality but little dew
 oped. much only scratched ov iand still more absolutely unknown.
 The Copper Queen company Is
 model of consideration for its el
 ployes with a result that labor comp
 cations and controversies have nev existed between it and its army
 workers and the most cordial of re
 tions exist today, as they always haN
 for wages are paid as high as con
 tions existing at the time being p'
 init, fact which is appreciated by t H. operative force.
 Nor does the company forget t 7 beautiful and ethical sides of life. :, religious, charitable and other gifts
