.INSPIRAT TON MILL
 WILL BE COMPLETE
 DURING THIS MONTH
Big Improvement in Producing and Milling Conditions for the Inspiration Copper Company, at Miami.

The Inspiration Consolidated Cop per Company, after nearly five years preparation. will start its mammoth mill at Miami and begin the actual production of capper metal on com mercial scale early this month. says the New York Mining Age.
 Simultaneously, the uv-v smelter just completed at Miami and only a mile distant from the Inspiration and Miami Copper Company mills, has been completed and last week made it's first trial run with very satisfac. tory results.
 The Inspiration mill cons.s,s of IS sections, each of a capacity of 500 tons per day. The mill will have a total rated capacity of l4,4O0 tons per day, and it is expected that the actual capacity may exceed the rated capa. city, in which event the actual out put may be between 150O0 and l6,OOO tons. The first nine of the IS mill sections have been completed and al most entirely. equipped Several of them will be in active operation this month, and all nine will be in full operation about August, according to plans of the company
 The Inspiration Consolidated Cop. per Company, when in full operation, will turn out about 375.OOO pounds of the red metal daily
 Estimates of the cost of preducttou have been as low as Sc. per pound, but it appears probable that the cost may be nearer Sc. especially at the start. The Inspiration will operate on a much larger scale than its immedi- ate neighbor, Miami, and has also a somewhat cheaper mining system than MiamPs. To offset these advantages, Inspiration operates under the disad- vantages of having somewhat leaner and more refractory ores than Miami, and must also transport ores by train from the mine to the mill, located over a mile distant Inspiration, when in full working order slould be able to obtain an Size. cost, under favor able operating conditions. Those who have visited and are familiar with the property are in accord on this point. Miami costs are very slightly under this figure just now between S.4c. and S.5c.
 Inspiration shOld be able to register some handsome portts on it's produc- tion at cost of Slac. On an indicat- ed output of 30,OOO,OOO pounds per annum when working in ruu capacity, the company should shaw profits of $7S0O,OOO This is figured with cop per metal selling at only 141ac per pound, which is the average price for the past l6 years. The present price of copper metad is much higher around lS15c
 The profits of S7,sOO,OO0 amount ex- ceed S6,5O per share per annum on the 1,182,755 shares of stock outstanding, assuming the conversion of the issued bonds.
 The company may not operate to full capacity before 1910.
 The first nine of the IS mill sec tions, part of which will begin this month, and all nine of which should be in the nature of an experiment to determine, certain details of crush ing and Notation, which were not fully settled in the inspirations 6OO- ton test mill, operating during the past two years The results obtained in the first nine sections of the big Inspration mill will determine the pro per treatment method for the remain ing nine sections and the entire plant, which should be in operation early in 1916, and possibly by the end of this year, if all goes well.
