sOlutely finished and. if the power line
was finished from the Colorado mine
over the hills TO the works, these fur
naces could be placed in commission
within a few days time. As it is, Su-
perintendent McCaffery declares that
he will have bullion running out by the
end of this month, without question
These furnaces have a capacity of 210
tons each, and everything is ready for
extending the building on the north
end and installing two more.
On the south end of this building the
ground is all prepared and everything
is ready for the raising of the steel
structure that will enclose the copper
furnaces. The structural steel is on
the ground and the raising of the
building is now under way. On
the south end of the copper
furnace building everything is ready
for the raising of the bullion house. in
which will be located the great metal
pots and devices for giving the metal
the finishing touches before converting
it into bars and sending it to market.
South of this is the big compressor
plant. already so nearly completed and
equipped that it can be made ready
for business with ease by the time it is
needed. Here the very latest machin-
cry and devices for supplying COM
pressed air for the furnace blowers is
being brought into requisitiOn, and En-
gineer Saunders states that it will be
the most economical and up-tO-date
plant of its kind in the country.
To the north of the main lead smelt-
ing building is located the hand rooster
building, and the nearly 200 feet of
great dust ffues that lead TO the main
stac,, from the balloon flues of The lead
works and the dust chambers behind
the copper furnace building. The hand
rooster building is a steel structure
about 100 feet square, and in it sui
phide ores and concentrates will re-
ceive their preliminary roasting before
going into the charges of the main
furnaces.
West of the main smelter buildings
a great space has been graded off for
the Stag dump. Around this an cleo
trio railroad viii operate the Stag
trains and, as the equipment for this
is nearly all on the ground, it is evil
dent there will be no delays on that
account. South of this dump the big
machine shops are nearing completion,
and the equipment for this plant has
been received. In the same section OF
the property are located the office
building, StOrehouSe, transformer
houses, etc. while east of the main
smelter building, and back of the great
stretch of bedding floors" are the
company's sampling mill and ore bins.
sampIing Mill Is Ready to Run.
The sampling mill has been COM
pleted several days. 1t will compare
favorably with any like mill in the
state. both as respects sOidity of con-
struction and detail of equipment. Ores
intended for treatment direct in the
