CIRCLE MINES PROGRESSING Great Warren District Prop critics Attract Much
 Attention

The editor of Iron Ore at Ishpen- ing. Mich, carries nearly one page in it's last issue. telling of the mar vicious developments of copper ore by the Calumet & Arizona and Superior X Pittsburg companies in the War ren district. from which the follow ing extracted:
 Plans have been prepared for marked changes in the Calumet e~ Arizona smelters at Douglas, Ariz., which are located twenty-siX miles away. and there is a down bill haul from the mines, which IS important At this location the company has a fine site, and is favored with abun- dant flow of water which boils up through artesian wells sunk close by in the Sulphur Springs valley. This site, including its water, is Of incai- culable worth to the company. water being scarce in Arizona To secure such a quantity of pure kind so close to the mines is a combination not often secured in the Southwestern region. Not a few concerns are forced to use mine water, and mine water, holding sulphur and other metal-eating clements in suspension, is not the most desirable, but 1t has frequently to be employed becausa none better can be had. The Cop per Queen company secures its wa ter supply for smeiter plant purposes close beside Calumet C. Arizona's and together these organizations OWL a considerable tract Of land here that is worth millions to them.
 Will Have Reverhatories.
 1T this proposed improvement oi smcltcr plan is voted hy the di- .rectors Of Calumet 6e GTi-o1a there win be a revsrb2tory furnace a5-cd to the line This will be important in treating the fines and VII quickly pay its construction price. One has been considered for several years past, but the company has been awaiting developments at the mines as well as in other directions before building one, or more. These re- verbatories work spleudidly at Cana nea and at the Wtshoe plant. where they have been carried out to great length from the original sizes as practiced in this country. Smel- terman lTatthewson of the Anaconda plant. who is one of the foremost in the world in his line. tried the experiment of doubling the original size of the reverbatory and he dis covered it worked out just as he had figured. So that now these fur naces are of great capacity and of .cosequently greater producing value. 1t is altogether probable that the improvements designed for the plant will be adopted and that work of al iteration and addition will be com menced soon after the annual meet ing shortly to be held.
 Why the Shelters.
 The addition to the smelling plant lis designed to take care of the in naturally draw this ciBclusion, but there have been organizations that have constructed stamp mills and .smelters and built villages and other things to support which there was practically no mineral But Calumet & Arizona isn't this sort of concern.
 One Sample sf the Reason.
 Tn the Junction. shaft of the Su perior & Pittsburg company there is a great body of high-grade ore being developed on the 4th level No one knows just how big it is They have followed it up for a distance Of be- tween 40o and 500 feet, and 1t has a width as far as now prospected of 60, 70 or 80 feet, and it holds cop per at the rate of s to 10 Ier cent, and 1t is richer III gold than anything being taken from the Bis bee basin, well known for it's sub stantial holdings in the precious metal Those who have seen this ore body and who have talked to us about it say 1t looks like a great big hennfiia irnn ore nine
