STEpToE SHELTER RUN
MING AT FULL CAPA SITY

The Steptoe smelter did not quite
make the six million pounds OF cop
per which was expected as the llarch
production. During the first twenty
days of the month, production was
maintained at rate of about 100000
pounds a day but during the last ten
Guys of March, the output fell off a
little. SO much so in fact that the con-
verter plan. was shut down for two
Sundays, ard the months output was
correspondingly reduced.
Carbonate ore from the fssure
veins at Copper Flat is coming to
the smelter in quantities far in ex-
cess of the present need OF the plant
fer this class of material. A large
tonnage of carbonates is used daily
ir the converter plant, and small
amount is used in the reverberatory
furnaces but the greater part Of the
shipments of this class of ore from
the Flat is being stored in ravine
northeast Of the works where a rail-
road fill of considerable size is be-
ing built entirely of ore.
The regular sulphide ore from the
pit is handled by the mill al the
rate of from eight to ten thousand
tens day with apparently little

(Slecial to the Record)
CALIENTE, Nevada, April 15-This
town is getting active and every day
sees more strange faces on the
streets. The railroad company is
pushing reconstruction rapidly; ev-
cry effort being put forth to get the
main line connected up and in COM
mission before June /. In order that
lie road may not lose out in the
mail contract which is an important
factor in the earnings of the rail-
road company. Application has been
made to the postoffice department
at Washington for reweighing OF
The mails upon the representation to
the government that through traffic
will be resumed by the end of May.
The construction department has
been handicapped for material and
one can readily understand in how
much of hurry the railroad offic-
ials are vi hen it is learned that a
contract has been let to George Fet-
terman to haul by team five car
leads Of Lridge piling from Acoma
to Caliente. 1t is said Mr.. Fetter-
iran gets rs and 20 cents per run
nlng foor for hauling these poles,
which measure anywhere from lS to
so feet in length. At Caliente the
poles are loaded onto cars and con-
veyed down the canyon and there
used in building bridges and in max
ing other repairs along the route
of the temporary track
GETTING PRETTY CLOSE
Today. the end of the track-com-
ing from Salt Lake-is within II
miles of Caliente. Just below this
are some bad stretches to be repaired

IS working day and night forces
and it is confidently expected that
the track will be in condition fol-
use all tho, way to Caliente about
May 5th 1t may be few days latel
than that, yet some of the engineers
on the job have fixed the date stated
when trains will be coming down tht
canyon regularly from the east.
BELOW CALIENTE
Down the canyon south of Cali
ente it is different story. There il
a gap al least 35 miles long there
to be filled and is in country wher'
the flood of January l did rerrif

go soutI. of Caiiente about nine miles
