ITS Immense Construction Work Planned Blu u. S.

of these performance he will have record that other
man concern in the great mining southwest has at
tanned because in that reg on costs go up unaccount
ably high, and muck time lost because of the dis
lance from manufacturing centerS 10 secure material
needs pressure on 9th manufacturers and rail-
way companies. Iron Ore is Informed that Mr. Green
way mas been bringing every pressure TO bear in getting
material workmen and results and that this fine new
Smeltery is TO really be fully completed and in operation
by the time he estimated ould be and that within the
time ne figured would be nee eSsary, and which many
thought was atogehec too short based upon what had
been don't in similar lines in that country.
NEW SHELTER THROUGHOUT There is an idea
in some quarters that this plant will simply be a remod
eled one, using the old Smeter the skeleton There
will be absolutely nothing left of the old plant except
portion of the machinery the power house and the old
ore bins Those familiar with the latest word in copper
selters tell Iron Ore that the plant Of Calumet and
Arizona will be better design that that of the Ar
IONA Copper companyS SmelteT, Clifton or ClarkS
new Smeter at Jerome A brief description is follows
THE PRESENT ore receiving bins will be equipped
with ches for feeding the hopperS of conveyor
feeders The bins will be equipped both sides with
50nch conveyorS which will the directly TO
the crushers located the end of the present
ceving bins having capacity of 600 TONS will be in
stalled and the old storage reste will approach
TO these bins
FROM THE CRITSHERS at the end of the bins,
the will be conveyed up incline the crushing and
sampng plant which will have capacity Of 200 tons per
hour when screening tn large sizes for the blast
furnaces he building is Of steel and concrete through
cut Is 40x4S feet in pan an five stories high. The mill
lis divided into sections hch be independent
y of each other Each section has crushing and SAM
ping department Ore will be four times by Snyder
AUTOMATIC Samples and a Sa mple weighing 10 or 81
pounds as desired per passing through will
be obtained The plant is fl exole and the may be
crushed and screened and charged any desired size
FROM THE SANPLING and crushing plant the fine
material will the fine and coarse material to the
coarse beds The bedding scheme practically dupi
of the Cananea system Three beds of and three
beds OF fine ore are provided each having capacity OF
10000 bed for coke aving capacity of 900 tons
also provided The coke i'll be dumped from the
into the coke receiving bins and from there will be
convened directly the ba s furnace charge bins
coke storage bed Recaimers similar TO the Cananea
claiming machines will reclaim the material from the fine
and coarse beds The coarse and coke will be conveyed
up incline the ore and coke charge bins directly
the blast furnace charge floor The fine ore will be con-
veyed up similar incline to the rooster plant
THE ROASTER plant contains twelve q feet six
inch diameter Herresho asters having capacity of
approximately 80 tons of fine per day. The rooster
plant has file and steel dust chamber OF 60xl4Ox7O
feet high equipped with battles and wires The roof OF
this chamber and the blast furnace is of copper This
dust chamber discharges into brckned steel chimney
20 feet inside dameterbv p feet high The main smet
cry building is 222x460 feet IT, plan and it will contain
two blast furnaces four reVerberatory furnaces six con-
verers the copper casting de partmen Two 4S-nch
40 feet blast furnaces provided Ore and coke will
be discharged DIRECTLY from he hin the charge
floor into charge cars which will rest upon platform
scales and the OF Ike and Tor each charge
will be propelled from the ales the charge doors OF
the furnace by electric steel dust chamber
60xI80x7o high having suitable battles and wire is in
stalled The converter gases will also pass through this
chamber The gases from this chamber and also gases
from the reverberatcry boilers viii pass into brckned
steel chimney 25 feet inside diameter BY 3as feet high.
IN THE REVERBERAT0RY department, four re-
1yerberatory furnaces lor00 feet installed and the
foundation and building for fifth furnace in place.
Each furnace is equipped with 7l2-horSepower Stir
ling boilers making total of eight boilers. With the boil

25-ton pots running tracks underneath and just in
front of the skmming end OF the furnaces
