tained the following article about the Calumet and Arizona Mining company:
 'The new smelter for this promin- ent Bisbee organization grows to con- pletion very fast and will be finished well within the estimated time. It will be one of the most complete smelteriss for the reduction of all classes of copper ore in thi, country and that means the world. The com pany has been besieged by various mining organizations to take ores on the customs plan, the applications be- ing made by those who appreciate that the new smelter will be able to make very close saving and to give miners about all there is in the ores. The favorable contract made with the Shattuck.Arizo has attracted the at tention of other miners who are with out smelters of their own.
 There has been some criticism be- cause the company does not use all of it's new furnaces for the treatment of it's own ores, but there's another side to that. Copper smelling, blsed on prices prevalent throughout the south- west is profitable business and, in foreign ores are needed for the best furnace practices. It is very seldom that a mine produces all the elements for the best smelting results wholly within itself. It has to import ores containing clements it's own lack, and that's one reason why Calumet X Ari- zona may be developing new mines as we'll as taking the ores of other con. cerns. The company, for illustration, is working one property where there is an ore that is ideal for converter Innings, having enough precious metal iu it to pay all the costs of the lining material. Then there's another bunch of claims being prospected for ores that will be valuable as mix with the very rich ores from their Bisbee properties. Still another of leaner grade may be mined with steam shovel. it having elements that would be ad- vantageous to working with the rich oxides and sulphides from the various Bisbee property shafts.
 There's a certain mixture that will work little better than any other and it is this the company desires. h selecting its custom patrons it will un' doubtedly favor those that will con- tribute the most of the particular kind of ore the company desires.
 Calumet and Arizona has been very fortunate in producing within itsell ores that are particularly self-huAing direct smelling grades that give the most for the least cost, but that it has worked deeper in it's shafts, finding more sulphides with each succeeding level, changes have to be made h the furnace feed. so that in the new smelt CT there are wonderful reverbatores and there are also roasters in which certain ores will be treated that are the very latest type, giving the great est efficiency.
 Calumet x Arizona, if it receives outside ores IS always looking to the interest of it's shareholders. The ores it receives under the head of ''custum' will be such as it can handle to the greatest advantage to itself as well a. to it's customer. The directors arc certainly competent to best serve tho interests of the stockhOlder and they always do.
 In the meantime Calumet and Arr zona is steadily adding to it's ore re serves at it's mines in Bisbee. It ha. developed a great valley of ore, yer, rich in copper and in gold and it now has enough of which it knows to keel the new smelter going for many years more than the youngest shareholder o today will live to see exhausted The directors have their eyes open t, the available good things, and lose n, opportunity to pick up any bargains that may be offered in that great min ing district.
 Calumet x Arizona have been bull up in big perm anent way and is on, of the best investments in the coppe list of which we know. It isn't
