HUMBOLDT PLANT
 MAKES RECORD OUTPUT
(From Fridav's Dailv.l

The Consolidated Arizona Smelling Company's plant at Humboldt. closed the last month of 1915 with a record
 in copper production that reached the astounding figures Of 60O,OOO pounds,
 was the statement made Wednesday by General Manager c. NJ. Colvocor- esses.
 This achievement was accomplished under disturbances taking place owing
 to storms. and with the new smelling
 facilities in operation but portion Of that month. Mir. Colvocoresses also
 stated that a like product will be to the credit of his institution during January, if 1t is not exceeded. The source of this splendid output is the Blue Bell, the DeSoto. company hold ! ings. the Swansea, a custom shipper and other mines of lesser resources. This plant now mas a treating capac- fly of GAO tons per day, distributed to its different methods of reduction. and with the marked advancement going on in mine operations of this field, Humboldt as a custom center, has every possibility within the next few months of being inadequate to handle the heavy tonnage that is freely an ticipated. The local field is not the only patron of this plant, but from Chloride. in Mo,avc county, is be ginning to arrive daily a large ton mage of copper ore. The above out put is a convincing argument of what is prevailing today in reality i1 Yava. pal. and is relieved of any speculative uncertainty of what is to be.
