SHELTER HAS
INCREASED IT'S
COPPEROUTPUT
Arizona Commercial, After Be-
Ing Shut Down on Account
of Leaking Water Jackets,
Has Resumed Operations.

GLOBE, Feb. I5.-Since the Arizona |
Commercial smelter resumed running |
after the temporary shutdown neces- |
STATED by leaking wa.er jackets on
the furnace. from goo to go tons OF
ore has been treated daily in which
has been included, for the past few
days. fifty-.on daily shipments Of ore
from the mine of the Superior & Bos-
ton Copper company. The Arizona
Commercial ore making up tne pres
ent smelter supply averages about
per cent copper. The smelter a pres
ent is running smoothly, and although
the repairs made on the old water
jackets will probably not prove perma-
men,. the new jackets already ordered
will, of course, not be kept on unit,
circumstances make it necessary. The
trouble on the water jackets is ad-
nit ed by the manufacturers TO be due
TO defective workmanship. and not TO
any circumstance in connection with
the running of the smell -er.
