MIAMI SHELTER TO
Be BUILT AT ONCE
Grading for Foundation of
New Reduction Plant Is
Now in Progress.

Word received az the local Offices OF
the International Smelling * Refining
company IL that the new smelter AZ MI
ami, ATlz.. is To be built soon. All the
surveys for the new site have been COM
pleted and grading IS now in progress for
the foundations. The frst buildings Will
include the storerooms offices and ma
chine shops and these will be completed
In time to get good start on construc-
ton OF furnaces for the smelling plant
early In the summer
The plans for the smelter cali for three
reNerberatory furnaces. one blast and six
or seven converter stands. This will be
ample equipment 10 handle the produce
uon being made from the Miami Copper
company and additions can be made
later on when The product from the In
spiration and other properties begins 10
come In The site selected for the smelt-
er is IN the same valley as that occu-
pied oy the new concentration for the In
spiraton company and is about equal
distance between the Miami and Insp!ra-
tlon mill plants. The Miami Is at pres
ent compelled 10 ship It's concentrates 10
the Greene -Cananea smelter, a distance
II is expected that the annual produc-
ton OF copper from the Miami and In
spiraton properties will be worked up 10
loo'VGo.ooO pounds. In addition 10 this
ore the new smelter will have an oppor-
unity TO get q considerable amount OF the
custom product from mines In the Globe
Miami districts. Most all the mines In
that vicinity arc compelled 10 ship con-
siderable distance and the new srnelter
plant Is assured Of enough business TO
make It one OF the largest copper smelt-
ing plants I'm this country.
The Miami Copper company is pro-
ducing al the rate Of 300 tons daily.
and this rate OF production is TO be con-
tinued until next July IL is thought
that by that time the capacity OF the
mill will have been increased 10 1000 tons
per day The ore production at the mine
VIII then be Increased correspoDdingly.
The stock pile was cleaned UP last month,
and all the ore now concentrated Is COM
ing from underground. About 1000 tons
OF ore have been taken out by blasting
pillars between large shrinkage slopes In
both northwest and southwest ore bodies.
In the northwest ore body there are
five Slopes from 400 TO 500 feet long and
so feet wide. They range In height ac-
cording to the dip OF the capping. the
highest being l25 feet All are full OF
broken ore. Between them are pillars

FIND GARNETS BIG
AS A BUSHEL BASKET

The principal garnet mines in the
United States are located in Warren
and Essex counties, in the eastern Adj
rondacks in northeastern New York
says the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal. These mines all lie within six
or eight miles Of the village OF North
Creek, q terminus Of the branch of the
Delaware e. Hudson. The country rock
Is entirely pre.Caulbrian, consisting Of
igneous rock, together with metamor-
phosed sediments. The three mines be.
ing worked at present are the Rogers,
Sanders Bros. and the Hooper.
At the Rogers mine the size of the
garnets is of unusual interest. The ma.
trix is gray medium grained non
quartziferous gneiss, through which the
numerous, translucent, rcddish-bro
garnets are well scattered. Those with
diameters up co five or six inches arc
common and the largest taken out are
said TO be the size of bushel basket.
The remarkable feature is the never.
failing occurrence of rim or envelope
of pure black, medium. grained horn.
blcnde crystals completely inclosing
each garnet. The reddish brown garnets
completely surrounded by the black
hornblende rims, which are in turn i'm
bedded in the gray gneiss, present "A
striking appearance IN the walls Of the
mine pits. The garnet-bearing rock is
fully three.quarters of mile long.

LOUISIANA LEADS IN

In one respect Louisiana stands pre-
enliuently N the lead of the states OF
the union: that is, in the produc ton
Of sulphur. In 1904 the French process
for the recovery Of sulphur from beds
underlying a heavy cover of quic cksand
was put into operation by the Union
Sulphur company of Sulphur City, near
Lake Charles, in Calcasicu parish
Since that time approximately 2,33O.-
600 tons of refined sulphur have been
Prior 10 1904 the only domestic source
OF sulphur in quantity in the United
States was pyrite. from which sulphu.
ric acid Is made direct, and nearly all
of the sulphur used was imported from
Sicily. At the present time the do.
nestle output of refined sulphur ex.
cept from Louisiana, Is negligible
quantity. and the quantity and value
OF the imports are insignificant com.
pared with what they were ten wears
ago. In 1909. one year before the pro
duction of sulphur in Louisiana began

the imports of sulphur into the United
States amounted 10 l9l033 long tons,
valued at S3.7Og, ,69O In 1912 th- i'm

.NENZEL D|SPOSES Of
ROCHESTER CONTROL
New Nevada Mine Has Been
Purchased by Mexican
Consolidated.

According TO telegram received by
Harry II. Hunter, the Nenzel interests
IN the Rochester Mines company have
been sold 10 the Mexican Consolidated
Mining company. This represents the
controlling interest and is said to in
cIude the holdings OF Joseph F.. Men.

which he was the discovcrer. The con-
sideratlon is not gwen, but the impress
sion is that Nenzel got from 100000
to Sl5o,000 for less than two years
work.
John r. Cowan said yesterday that
ne beheved the report was correct: that
he and his Utah associates had made
Nenzel a proposition, and that since
Nenzel left here he had been to the
coast and that they had heard nothing
more OF what he proposed TO do, Mr.
Cowan said that later letter had been
received confirming the deal and stat.
ing that the new concern proposed 20
get busy Immediately after the first of
the year with extensive improvements
NenZel owned outright go 900 shares
of stock and he had an equal amount
of stock tied up in litigation. He has
paid off note for $4,000 at Reno, the
payment being made the day before

The Mexican Consolidated company is
operating one of the big properties on
the old Comstock lode and late report
shows that tho company carries cash
surplus of between 100000 and s400,-

READY MARKET FOR
UTAH URANIUM ORES

Frank Cook has been employed by
the American Radium company as their
representative at Green River, Utah, he
being authorized to purchase uranium
ores for them, says the Dispatch. The
ores shipped from here will be used at
the American Radium institute, Phila-
delphia, in making radium, this insti-
tuition being the only one that is at
America. Two per cent ore, the lowest
grade mined proftably, now brings SO
per ton f. o. b, Green River and the
local product runs as high as 30 per
cent.
Mr., Cook says he can handle up to
six carloads every month from this time
on. This would bring lot Of money
into the community and it is TO be
hoped that the Green River rare metal
field, which is the most valuable and
probably the most extensive in the
world, will be the scene of great actiy-
ity within the next few months.
