the Highland Boy to the smelter by
means Of a Bleichert tramway with
capacity OF 100 tons an hour.
On either side of tho bench is a deep
canyon which will be used for ash and

The ore from the Highland Boy mine.

directly TO the smelter bins by means OF

railroad from the San Pedro junction
and placed in the spacious bins on the
nighttime" These bins will have n ca
paclty OF from 5000 10 5000 tons. From
the receiving bins the orc will he con-
veyed TO the elevators OF the crushing
and sampinE mills by means OF convey
ing belts and the local traction system.
The samplIng mill is built in conjunction
with the crushing plant, and ore from
either can be thrown onto the conveyors
and sent to the roasters or blast furnace
ore bins From these bins the fine ore
is taken directly TO the roaster hoppers
by means OF another system OF convey
ors and cross -converors. The roasters
arc regular 1s-foot McDoussll furnaces.
arranged in two units OF sixteen each.
placed In rows OF eight.
The gases from the roasters go through

long and 30 feet high. It is not deemed
necessary 10 employ any friction wires
or bags in addition 10 this scheme OF
dust deposition. by means OF settling in
an increased volume The roasted ore. or
calcines, is trammed 10 the reverbera tory
scales and then 10 the furnace hoppers
In cars of the d. c. electric industrial
system
There are to he FIVE reverberatories
when the plant starts. and the founda-
furnaces are 102 feet long. 70 feet wide
in the clear, and are patterned after. the
latest Anaconda designs AT either end
of the reVerbera tory building two lines
Of railroad tracks Will be constructed. At
the skimming- door end and seventeen
feet below the hearth Of the furnace, an
crete, equipped with the tracks of the
industrial system. will serve as an out
let for ashes and Stag. which will be
conveyed 10 the canyons on either side
Of the site. Through this tunnel will be
hauled the furnace dust and the boiler
1ue dust from the reverberatory flue and
the five batteries of 750-borsepower Ster-
ling boilers, which are located directly TO
one side and Immediately over the tun-
mel respectively. In these five boilers

engines Will he generated by waste heat

rect-fired Sterling boilers.
Under the same roof with the rcver-
and casting shed Space is also provided
for the blast furnace founda tions. one OF

At present the sampling mill is, com
pleted and the machinery is installed.
with the exception of few light pieces.
The power house. including The erection
Of all machinery. Is ready for operation.
The. dust chamber and it's hues to the
stack are finished. The roastrrs are set
up and about two thirds are bricked up.
The stack is finished and hampers are
placed, All shops have been completed
and in operation for some time. All the
railroad traclaee in yards Is laid and ia
now receiving the final lining up.
All OF the water lines. air lines and
sewer are completed. while the main fine
and ash and Stag tunnel will be finished
In a few. days. The steel structure over
the casting shed and the converisrs s
erected and covered with corrugated iron,
and several panels ~ the reverberatory
building are up. All Of the converters
are installed and pioed up. Work on the
reverberatory building will he rushed
with all possible speed
