President Kellar made his annual
report on the work being accomplish
ed in the Garlic Copper Co.'s BUSH
ness in which he sand the San Felipe
mine during the year has been made
into a thoroughly developed and
thoroughly equipped property with
the best and latest machinery obtain
able. The mine, he said, was in a
position to produce up to 100 tons
per day. The ore bodies have in
creased constantly in size and value
with depth. The 500 foot level has
been opened up quite extensively.
The equipment is capable of reach
ing 1900 feet without further addi-
lions. The concentrating mill has
been rebuilt to an estimated capac-
lily Of 100 tons per day and is being
worked up to that capacity at the
present time. There are smaller re
fineries that have been added to the
smelling plant. The mine, mill and
|smelter are all in operation and pro-
ducing metal in good paying quanti-
ties. These each have their sepa-
rate lighting plant and no additional
machinery of one character or an
other is needed. The revolutionary
condition in northern Mexico did not
affect the business there at all, and
would hardly expect it to when it
was 500 miles distant.
