Ell PasO's Largest Plant
The smelter is FL PasO's largest in
dustrial plant and gives employment to
between 1900 and $500 men, Like many
other industries OF the city. the smelter
started in a small way and has devel-
Oped as the mining industry of the
Southwest has grown. The plant has
always been a custom smelter, never
having been dependent for its ore upon
mines owned by the company. At first
only lead bearing ore was smelted, and
the only product OF the plant was lead
bullion. As the mining industry grew,
there came a demand for a market for
copper ore, and the company installed
one small copper blast furnace.
In 1900 the smelling plant comprised
eight blast furnaces. one Of which was
on copper ore. In 1901 there
was a disastrous fire, which destroyed
the blast furnace building and the
power house. These buildings were re-
built and six large lead furnaces and
One copper furnace were installed

Beginning with 1908, the business fel{
off materially and for two years the
plant worked only at half capacity.
Then, in 1910, the development OF the
southwestern New Mexico pOrphyritic
copper ores began, and 4 contract was
made resulting in the diverting of all
the concentrates from the Hurley, y
n, mill OF the Chino Copper company.
Enlargement Found Necessary.
In order to handle this ore, which
required 4 different treatment. $780,.
coo in improvements were spent Two
years later other additions were neces-
sary to take care Of the increasing bust
ness and since then new equipment has
been added from time to time to take
care Of new business and keep the
plant up TO date.

Draws Ores From Many Fields.
The source Of the supply Of ores for
the plant comes from Arizona. New
Mexico, West Texas and Old Mexico
This territory comprises the largest
mining district in the world While the
disturbed conditions in Mexico has cur
tailed mining, a considerable business
was drawn from below the border dur
ing the past year, and the business
coming from Arizona and New Mexico
was heavy. The high price of CONFER
caused the resumption of operations
on a large scale and also resulted in
the working of low grade mines and
big business for FL Paso's smelter.

Before the internal troubles in Mexico

tives into Mexico and a large business
was enjoyed with the various cities and
mining camps of the republic. Since the

more or less disturbed. but throughout

northern Mexico was comparatively
quiet Some firms dealing in military
supplies have sold largely TO the diff
ferent factions at different times. Cloth
ing. shoes, ammunition and guns have
been sold in large quantities TO the bel

or less spasmOdic and cannot be consid-
cred as a permanent business.

then. as Development begins to take
place in the mining camps and on the
ranches. and merchants in the various

pand, there will be a larger demand for
American goods And when this cOndi-
tion comes about, FL Paso wholesalers
will come in for the lions share OF the

co has undoubtedly demonstrated to the

Rigid Inspection Required.

The national government requires
that all cattle imported from Mexico
pass a rigid inspection for the Texas
tick, against which a quarantine is
maintained For this purpose the
United States bureau of animal indus
try maintains an office in this city in
charge of DR.. T. A Bray. officially
known as inspector in charge Of the
quarantine division DR.. Bray's terri
tory extends as far west as Sasabe,
Ariz., and as far east as the east line
of Brewster county, Texas. and in
cludes the open ports of Fl Paso. Pre-

An Indication of the movement Of
cattle from Mexico into the Southwest
may be secured from the records of
Dr. Bray's office which include i'm
ports through all the portion of his
quarantine division The table also
shows the inbound movement of sheep
and other animals. The figures are as
follows:

FL PasO District Gets Most.

The movement of cattle is many
times larger through the quarantine
division of which FL Paso is headquar-
tiers than through the district which
extends from Del Rio to Brownsville
and includes the ports Of Del Rio. Eagle
Pass. Laredo, McAllen and Brownsville.
In the latter named district in 1915.
59,S23 cattle were inspected, 195, sos
sheep and 5549 head Of other animals.

Paso Union Stock Yards.



The movement Of cattle from Mexico
through FL Paso during the year 1915
was less than in 1914, due to the quar-
antine maintained by the state OF Tex
as during the spring against the foot
and mouth disease. This quarantine
was fully lifted against Mexico in June,
but while it was in effect it paralyzed
the cattle Importation business. Dur-
ing April only 740 head Of cattle were
brought in from Mexico. The disturbed
conditions in Mexico, with Villa and
CarranZa contending for the territory
from which the Mexican cattle are
drawn. also affected the movement, and
since CarranZa came into control OF
Juarez. the chief port of entry, an eX-
port duty Of $50 per head against shes
and SIS per head against males IS al
fecting imports. Importers claim that
they cannot pay such a duty, and ef-
forts are being made to secure re-
duction-
The business of the past year, so far
as Mexico is concerned, was also IN
satisfactor for the reason that much
litigation arose over the ownership of
cattle entered. Presumably large num-
hers OF cattle brought in were stolen
property, and buyers frequently were
uncertain as to ownership. In a num-
Der Of cases suits were filed to test
ownership, and sequestration proceed
ings and injunctiOns were Of frequent
occurrence
Pence VIII Revive Imports.
Buyers on this side are hoping for 2
permanent peace in Mexico TO the end
that the cattle business may become
more stable. The return of peaceful
conditions in the republic to the south
viii also result in an increased produc-
ton which in q few years will bring
about a heavy increase in receipts at
FL Paso, more firmly esta blishing this
city as the great primary market OF
the United States
Imports Reach 111,5O6 Head.
Imports of cattle from Mexico dur
