an interesting meteorological condi-

Machinery For Smeiter
Within the next two weeks orders
will be placed with an eastern foun-
dry for foundations and other equip
ment for the 500-ton smelter to be
installed within three miles of Tucson
by the Arizona Consolidated Smelt-
ing and Mining company, according

site for the smelter and to see To the
signing Of local bond subscriptions,
with the understanding that if pay
slent on the subscriptions by Tue
son men is ever called for il will not
be until after the smelter is INSTALL
ed and in operation. The site is To
be somewhere within three miles of
the city. and along the railroad track
so that suitable shipping and receiv-
ing facilities may be maintained.
Included in the plans for smeter,
consisting of two jackets of $50 tons
leach capacity are other plans calling
for the erection of a concentrator
and sampling works in connection
with tbs smelter. These will not
be built until after the smelter is in
stalled
Mr.. Thompson stated that the lay |
ing Of the foundations for the smelt- |
er will commence as soon as the site
is secured and certain other details |
disposed Of He expects To go to |
