Snakes infest the locality.
The workman wore felt boots. He

The snake coiled UP and ratified. II

the most astonished snake in Pike

Then. as the effects Of the whisky
worked upon It's system, the snake
began to strike at everything within

About FIVE o'clock in the afternoon

At their approach the snake lifted

The Steptoe smelter OF the Nevada
Consolidated and tae Cumberland Ely
Copper Co. is now making from Is
10 20 tons OF blister copper a day and
has made as much as 80 tons in one
day. With a unit and half in prepar-
alton, the amount of ore that is going
through the concentrator, according to
the Expositor, is 1000 tons a day.
The engineering department has
finished running the lines for setting
the shafting in the first section of the
third unit and the machinery is being
put in place. The work OF grading
for the fourth unit is being pushed
vigorously by large force Of men and
teams
The barrel converters in use have a
maximum capacity of eight tons OF
matter at a charge and are much larg-
er than those used at the Garfield
smelter, which have a capacity of only
five tons. The maximum daily capae
ity Of one barrel converter is reckoned
at As tons, which gives tae converter
plant capacity of about 12O tons OF
blister copper a day, or at the rate OF
100000 pounds a year.

and the ore that is now being shipped
will be. supplied to the concentrators.
Normal shipment win be resumed
about Sept. 10, at the rate of $500 tons
day. one-third of which will be first

All of the mines, with the exception
OF the Pennsylvania, of the Boston
& Montana Co. are now working and
the latter will be in operation about
Sept. Is. A great deal of important
repair work has been done in all OF
the mines operated by the company
and the output from this time on,
unless something unforeseen happens
will be heavy. -.
