PROGRESS IN
 CONSTRUCTION
Building Goes on at Copper Queen Shelter and the City Is Encouraged
 As to c. and A.
(Douglas Internatlonal)


 With copper quoted in Boston al IA cents and the demand for the red metal increasing daily because of the growing consumption, the outlook for the southwest and espe- ciaily Douglas, depending largely on the copper industry for it's prosper ity, is very encouraging
 It was reported yesterday that the Calumet & Arizona directors at a meeting held a few days ago in Duluth gave their final approval to the plans fer the new shelter, which were prepared by Mir Rep path and a corps of engineers and draughtstren in this during the last six months Capt Greenway left Douglas a week ago and was pres ent at the meeting of the directors. When he returns to the city it may be constantly expected that he will give out the fact that construction work on the new plant has been ordered to proceed just as quick as material can be secured from the structural iron manufacturers.
 The new c. & A. smelter, accord ing to the plans, will cost practi- cally $2,000, 900, and it will be one 
 for copper ey erected in the soutn- west It will contain a blast fur mace with a capacity larger than the present plant; the blast fur naces, it is said, will be sixty feet in length and of the usual width. Besides these blast furnaces and a new converter plant, carrying many new ideas. there will be reyerbatory ftnf=p nd Gfz e1r Fn the additions, now being provided at the Copper Queen in this city.
 Already a vast amount of pre- paratory work has been done at the c. & A. smelter in the way of lev cling with slag, the site for the new plant The site is now about ready for the foundation work for the building and machinery, and great quantities of sand has been brought to the site and other material re- quired for making concrete for the various foundations.
 The foundation work will require considerable time, but while that is going on the structural steel work may be proceeding at the factories, 50 that it may be two or three months before any of the erection 
 At the Copper Queen.
 At the Copper Queen smelter the construction work on the addition there, which was started just about one year ago, has been making good progress recently, and now the structural iron work for the dust chamber in connection with the Mo Dougal roasters has been set 1T r,Hu ha F- ing on the erection of the struc- tural steel for like dust chambers between the reverbatory furnaces and the great stack The founda- tions for the reverbatory furnaces are ready and the constFution of these furnaces of brick, fire and clay will be started in the near fu- ture The boilers for this new ad- dition to the great plant are in place and are just north of the re verbatories. Much of the heat re- quired for making steam in this new battery of boilers will be con served from the reverbatory fur naces, an important economy. Steam from these new boilers will be transmitted to the big power house.
 it was stated yesterday that this new addition to the Queen plant will increase Its capacity only about 800 tons per day The new plant consists of two reverbatories and six McDougal roasters. though the dust chambers now being provided would be able to serve sixteen roasters ana five reverbatories. while the great brick stack. which is forty-five feet in diameter at the base and 300 feet high would carry
