C. A. SmeHer Oberating Value to Olu1ers at this Time

fine way. We like the way Clark acts and talks and we are confident the shelter will be favorably heard from under his direction. John Hiil, the foreman, has been with the Calu. met Arizona company for many years, during which time he has held important positions in the plant. He
 shows all along taking charge and other things so necessary to the great. est efficiency and in him Superinten1. ent Clark has reliable, efficient | aid.
 Experiments for the Ajo Mines
 The Calumet & Arizona Mining company is soon to conduct expert. ments having to do with the ores of the New Cornelia mines which prop erty 1t recently purchased. An experimental plant is being fitted up in the shelter grounds. Anodes, At. tings for pipe lines. etc., have been ordered from Perth Amboy, New ter. sey, and in few Seeks there will be start made on the carbonate ores Of the Ajo property. There is already a lot cf ore at the shelter from that
 location and an additional tonnage will be shipped here shortly.
 The people of Douglas are hoping that the ores from the Ajo will finally be brought to Douglas for smelting. It might result that they may be con centrated and treated here. but that isn't the present intention of the com. pany. However, there is no telling what the final outcome will be. We would not, were we Douglas people,
 bank too strongly on the idea that the ores will come here. There are
 pretty good heads working on the teaching precipitating plan which. if successful would be altogether the best for the company.
 Douglas A Shelter Town Douglas is the shelter town for
 this district The smelters of the Cop. per Queen company are also located
 here. this being an efficient pant
 that annually treats a big ore tonnage Mines Are Here Discussed
 h Douglas one hears much of mines. There are men with mines from Ill , over Arizona to say nothing of Me>i- CO., We believe the Mexican contin- gent is the larger. Douglas is close to the international border and the Mex lican troubles sends many Americans from theat country to the American side Of the line. It's a better atmos- phere just now.
 Plenty of Water
 [. Douglas is blessed with plenty of , water for shelter and other purposes.
 Sulphur Springs Valley, in which it is located, produces water abundant ly. The smelters have artesian wells : that flow constantly and this iE all ; item of the greatest importance ir . Arizona. The water is of good quality, ] too, pleasing to those who have to do [ with steam boilers.
 ! Has Silica and Limestone Deposits. ) The Calumet & Arizona has its . own silica and limestone quarrles. where it produces all of these ele- ments it desires for it's own needs anu III duullloh ll dioO SuPPilSo SAiiNo to other smelters in this district. 4 Down Hh Haul on Ore. : From the mines at Bisbee twenty six miles away, there is a decline ot elevation so that the loads are made easier for the locomotives than If the pposite were the condition. Douglas is therefore the ideal location for the smelters.
 The Business Will Increase
 The business of Calumet & Arizona and Copper Queen in the smelting line will continue to grow. The mines Of these organizations well warrant this prediction, and there will also be an increase in the amount of customs ores as the district is better devel- oped. There are ores still to be un- earthe1 and the copper industry, as Iron ore has frequently stated is only now getting a fair start Its stride I is yet to come. The Calumet Ari- zona smeltery Is well balanced, up- to-the-minute plant highly efficieLt. worth all 1t cost. and the gratifying financial item is that 1t Is all paid for and that without disturbing the regu- lar dividends. The shelter. like the mines of the company, is all right.
