Besides the above. the plant contains
the necessary condenSers, vacuum pumps,
feed water heaters. traps. etc. The steam
for these engines Is furnished by the
waste heat boilers and hand fired boilers
adjacent to the reverberatory building.
Electric Trammlng Systematic equip
ment of the electric tramming system
consists of three Ta-ton and two 1S-ton
electric locomotives: fifty cars of various
kinds for handling ore. coal, calcine, tlue
dust, ashes and Stag. There are about
ten miles OF Industrial tracks In the plant.
Flues and Stock
Flues and Stack-The main nue which
the gases from the reverberatory
furnace and converters is 20 feet wide by
1S feet high and 1860 feet long, One sec
tion OF the converter fue is feet wide
by IL feet deep and 2iS feet long; the
other section has a cross sectional area
OF 1872 feet and Is ISL feet long. Both sec
tons are provided with hopper bottoms
and chutes for removing the flue dust. |
The roasting plant flue is Is feet by 10
ieet ana Is 2Jo leet In length. Ihe main |
and roasting plant flues are rectangular |
and OF brick and I-beam construction, |
while the converter 1ues are constructed |
entirely OF steel. |
The stack is % feet inside diameter at
the top and $50 feet in height above the |
base.
Offices. Shops. etc.-I none end of a |
building "A feet by 34S feet are located |
the offices, At the other end OF the |
building the machine, carpenter shop and |
electrical shop are located. Between the
shops and office end of the building are
ocated the warehouse, change rooms and |
laboratory. The blacksmith. shop and |
BOILER shop is located $50 feet away from
The machine shop. II measures In plan
"A feet by III feet Adjacent 10 the black
smith and boiler shops is located the To-
2omotive shed, which Is ~ feet by 50
eet. The locomotive shed houses the
locomotives and spare electric tramming
equipment.
Water Systematic water for various
purposes in the smelling plant is obtained
rom Pine canyon. The water is con-
eyed by gravity from a dam In the can
ION through a 12-inch pipe. approx
nately 5000 feet 20 standpipe of 80 600
gallons capacity at the plant. The water
s distributed from the standpipe TO the
'arious departments.
Two tanks having q capacity OF 43 90C
gallons each are located at an elevation
uch that ample pressure Is afforded for
ire purposes at any part OF the plant
Water Is pumped into these tanks from
