ENORMOUS FIGURES

GLOBE. Ariz. Jan. sO-The enor- nous program of mining and construc- ton begun by the Inspiration Con solidated Copper company at Miami is the most salient oint Of interest Tn this years mining The scale of tae work that must be finished before the 50,0OO,OO0 tons of the mines ore have been blocked out and the min that will have to handle the 2.OO0 G9O.- O00 pounds Of copper will be butt. is the most expressing news in copper circles in the southwest.
 The number of employees who are creating an industrial empire in the Miami district will be augmented Iv several hundred when building of the 7500 ton concentTator and the work Of blocking out the ore body begins in earnest.
 Now Employs BIO Men
 At present the Inspiration Consoli- dated Copper company is enjoying 270 men at underground work ani about 40 men on surface work. This force of BIO men is merely the number employed at the preparatory mining work, the hundreds Of men engaged in the mill construction and railroad grading being employees Of contractors The last measurements taken in the inclined shaft showed 1t to have reached its objective point. the 34SU level (the upper tram leyeD. lt has now been decided to continue the In- clined shaft to a depth of 100 feet be- low the upper tram level for the pur- pose of lifting a raise from that depth to the 34S0. where a 1SO ton waste pocket will he cut. the waste to he dropped through the raise and lifted through the inclined shaft to an upper level through which it will be con veyed to the surface. 4 drift is nov being driven from the Joe Bush per ton of the Hnspiration property 10 connect with 34SO foot level Of the 'n- clined shaft
 Work at the Mil Site
 At the mill site the steam shovel ing and blasting already have made heavy inPoads on the 300,OOO cubic yards of earth that must be removed before chief engineer Fl. Kenyon Burch can begin construction of the mammoth mill that will handle the millions Of tons Of ore that have been developed in the Inspiration. Four
 
 task of designing the plan and details Of the huge concentration Because of the similarity Of ores in the Inspir- alton and Miami properties the h. spration mtal undoubtedly will be modelled to a great extent on the plan of the Miami concentration
 Al the old Dominion the completion of the new 50 ton unit of the O. D. concentrator depends largely on when the shipments of steel come through from the east. but if there should re no delay the concentrator should be running in the late fall of this year In construction work. excavation for the crusher plant is completed and the forms are in place for the concrete. Excavation work is proceeding at the site Of the sampling mill and concrete ore bins. The foundation for the new Nordberg compound geared hoist at the "A" shaft was completed early this month and is ready for the hoist which has been delayed in shipment There are no new important develop ments underground. although work has been started cutting pockets on the 500 and 1900 foot levels The ore bins at the Kingdom shalt l consist of 100 ton capacity Dockets or 400 tons in all. A new air line will be laid from the.0. D. smelteT power plant to the Kingdom shaft soon. and the air will be relocated in an air re- heater before use in the hoist.
