CONCENTRATOR INCREASE.
II the concentration this ore is be-
ing put through I'm splendid manner.
Last month the plant managed TO
handle close TO 100,0 goo tons. rms
month it Is likely TO better that rec
ord by between 10000 and 80, 900
tons. The entire six sections are go
ing steadily and doing excellent work,
both as 10 the amount of ore handled
and the savings secured. Increase in
both ways has been steady. Water

At the converter the week wit
messed breaking of all previous rec

10000 pounds of copper for ship
ment on Thursday. That is al the
rate of 100000 pounds for the
month of March. or a car and half
of copper a day at the top loading
limit. Previous TO Thursday the
best days output was about 100000
pounds, on squirt. Probably 1907
600 pounds a day will be attained as
a regular thing before the end of
the month. In April that standard
will be fixed and probably bettered,
the monthly output being likely to
reach the 5000, 600 pound mark in
that month. That figure will proba-
bly, hold until the new unit of the
concentration is completed. when the
next advance will be in order, and
