it is simple: He has more brains

WORK ON VANAOlUM
MILL Is BEING RUSHED.
Three Furnaces at Cutter Are in Po-

Cost $4,000.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Dec. 24-"We
expect to have part of the oxide plant
at Cutter running by the first of Feb
ruary and to have the whole works
in full blast by March," said L. S.
White, superintendent lor the Vanadi-
um Mines company in this city yester-
day. Mr.. White is in charge of the
construction of the big sl5O,O00 es-
tablishment at Cutter which will ex-
tract from ore mined in the COM
pany's nearby holdings the valuable
vanadium which is used in the manu-
facture Of the toughest and strongest
steel in the eastern mills Mr.. White
is an experienced man, having been
in charge of the plant at Bridseviae.
Pa, the only similar one in this coun-
try. After transacting a little busi-
ness here Mr.. White will return to his
headquarters at Cutter Sunday
night.
1--WE have three furnaces in posi-
ton and completed" said Mr.. White"
and the lead burner will start the
first of next week. We are working
a big force of men on the plant and
at the mines are pushing operations
along steadily and as fast as practic.
able.
According to the sperintendent, the
mines yield fifty to sixty per cent
lead sulphate with eight to fifteen
per cent vanadium and there is suffi-
cient profit in Che lead to pay the ex-
pense of running the plant While
the ore from Peru, the only other
source OF supply will run almost
twice as rich in the vanadium, never
theless, in consideration of the cost
or importation and in view of the
profitable lead ores at Cutter, the
company which is backed by heavy
eastern steel interests, regards the
New Mexico venture as highly worth
while proposition. New Mexico in a
couple of months will boast of having
one of the only two vanadium mills in
the country.
