Several years ago when announcement was
made that the international Smelling and Re-
filming company would build a smelter with a
capacity of over 100000 pounds the Globe
Miami district rose 100 per cent III the estlma-
ton Of the copper mining world. The district
ranked high as a producer, it had It's reputa
ton securely rivited in the annals of copper
mining; but this announcement placed it al
most instantly III the foremost ranks and all
eyes were turned toward the mines Of the
Globe Miami district.
The smelter, as announced proved to be the
second largest smelter in the United States
Over s., 50O,O 900 were spent in constructing the
smelter and the result is the most modern
smelter that was ever erected
Primarily the smelter was designed to
handle the concentrates from the Inspiration
Consolidated Copper company's mine and the
mine OF the Miami Copper company. 1t was
built with record breaking speed fromJanu-
uary y, 1914 until May y, 1915, the great
smelter was III the process Of construction. 1t
was gala day in the district when the great
smelter was blown in and the smoke poured
out Of the huge 300-fOOt stack. The blowing in
Of this smelter meant millions OF dollars to the
district, meant it as much to the small pro-
ducer as to the large producer of copper. The
smelter is well equipped for the handling of
custom ores and thereby is a means between
the small producer and the prospect in inter-
esting outside capital i'll worth while proper
ties
Prior to the advent Of the international
smelter the Miami Copper company shipped
its concentrates to the smeter at Cananea,
Mexico, The saving effected by the new smelt-
er was 81 a ton i'll transportation charges, or
about 100000 annually

100000 Pounds a Month

While the tonnage OF ore treated at the In
ternational snelter is not equal to the tonnage
treated at some other smelters In the country
the new smelter has the distinction of having
a greater copper output than any IN Arizona,
because the tonnage Of the concentrates and
ore treated is small, the copper contents is
high The International smelter is capable Of
turning out over 100000 pounds Of copper
month
The smelter is situated six miles west Of
Globe and two miles east of Miami, on a site
chosen on account of very desirable SLOPE
and place for an excellent Stag dump and
the advantages for handling the concentrates
from the Miami and the Inspiration mills.
Custom and other ores, such as lime, iron
and siliceOuS ore required in fluXing and fet-
thing are received at the steel ore bins prepared
for this purpose. From the coarse ore bins. the
ore is conveyed to the crushing and smelling
plant where it is reduced in size by jaw crush
ers and crllsher rolls
1t is automatically sampled and the fines
are stored in suitable storage bins from which
they may be drawn off and mixed with the
concentrates in the bedding bins. The concen-
trates from the Miami Copper company's mill
and the mill of the Inspiration company are
received in special siXty-tOn concentrate cars.
The bedding bins are three in number and
have capacity of 1900 tons each In these
bins are stored concentrates for the purpose Of
assuring continuous operation Of the furnaces

and to obtain a thorough mixture Of tie ma
terials before treatment.
AT the bottom Of each bin a slotsis provided,
through which the ore is deposited on the con
veyor belts, which carry it to the dryer plant.
Five dryer furnaces OF the Wedge type are
in operation. These furnaces are y feet six
inches in diameter. Each has six sulnrimposed
heaters. 1t is the duty Of these furnaces to dry
the material. The ore is not roasted, as there
is already too little sulphur III the concen-
tlatcs for a satisfactory matter The necessary
heat is furnished from fuel oil furneces near
the bottom Of the dryers.
In order to reclaim the values escaping with
the gases the plant is provided with Cottrell
treaters for enthusiastically precipitating the
dust formed in the process. The dried concen-
trates are collected III bins on the bottom Of
the dryers. From these. entirely -enclosed self
propelled electric cars carry the concentrates
to the rcvcIbcratory furnaces
Arizona republican., 1917-06-17

The shop and warehouse buildings are Of
steel and steel sashcs and provide a large sur
face for admitting light. A full equipment of
~2uachincry, forge plates and carpenter shop
tools is installed for making repairs about the
plant
A concrete office and laboratory building is
also on the grounds. 1t is of neat design and
is situated at the upper entrance to the plant.
Numerous oil tanks, water tanks, pump
houses, track scales and other equipment com
plcte the auxiliary to the smelter.
The rcverberatoIy chimney is steel and
measures - feet inches in diameter and is
300 feet in height. The converter chimney is
similar structure, measuring ID feet in dia
meter and 300 feet in height.

Show Place of Smelter

a modern and beautiful power plant was
built by G. c. Moore & Co., of San Francisco,
according to the design furnished by .Johfi
langton, consulting engineer for the coirl-
pany. This is the show room of the smelter.
It is owned and operated jointly by the In
spiration Consolidated Copper company and
the international Smelling company.
The main units are three Corliss compound
condcnsing blowing engines and the three
condcnsing turbogenerators The former have
a capacity Of $1,000 cubic feet of air minute
and will compress to If pounds Of air per
square inch. This air is delivered to the con-
yerters through - inch steel pipe.
The turbogenerators have capacity of
5000 k. W. each 5000 volts. Steam for operat
ing these is obtained partly from the waste
heat boilers at the reverberatory plant, OF,
when required, can be obtained from the oil
fired boilers adjacent to the power house
However this boiler plant is not used, except
through failure Of insufficiency of the Tonic
power and that from the waste heat boilers
Arizona republican., 1917-06-17
Auxiliary Apparatus Modern

The most modern auxiliary apparatus is
provided in this plant for condensing steam,
automatically measuring steam, feed water,
temperatures and the like. Everything has
been done to obtain the greatest degree Of eff
i'icicncy and convenience.
The smelter has more than three miles of
standard gauge railroad track and 5000 feet
Of rubber conveyor belt. Ninety-two electric
motors serve to make the wheels 90 round One
Of the largest items in the building of the
smelter is the structural steel. Of this there
are $500 tons Another large item is 1000
cubic feet Of concrete serving as foundations.
The capacity of the smelter is $50 tons of
copper day. The smelter is able to turn out
l50,000000 pounds of copper year. The
states production in 1915 was 450,000,00O
pounds. Therefore the production Of Arizona
since the International Smelter came into ex-
istence has been increased by about 30 per
cent

Men Who Did It

The men who brought this great smelter to
the present point of success and efficiency
are c. E. Mills, general manager Of the Inspil-
alton mine and International smelter; Dr. L.
d. Ricketts,, consulting metallurgical engineer:
A. G. McGregor of the engineering firm Of
Repath & McGregor, who designed the
plant; and L. r. Wallace superintendent, i'll

''M0THER OF THE REVOLUTION"

BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD

United Press Staff Correspondent
PETROGRAD, Sept. 1O.-"The best

Russia which would be born with the
Cars exile, now sees her countrymen
bitterly disappointed, sees their armies
crumbling before enemy assaults be-
fore and treason in the rear, and looks
to the United States for help in Rus
sia's darkest hour
Millions of Russians who expected
the millennium to follow the revolution
now find food, money and clothes as
hard to get as ever" she said. ).
Even the great leaders of the peo-
pie find their stout hearts strained.
When | was a prisoner in fortress,
under the Gar, l used to be so sure

MRS. SHEFFIELD APPEALS
FOR PUBLIC PLAYGROUND

| AS president of the Amercus Wom-
ans club, I would like to call the at
ttntion of our public-spirited citizens
to the great need of public play
ground for our children, and to ask
their aid in our efforts to raise the
necessary funds.

people have really stopped to consider
lust what it would mean to our com
runity to have such a playground,
properly beautified, equipped and sup
ervised by one whose business it would
be to direct the children's activities
along the proper channels, and to in
terest and instruct with games and
stories. Just about half hundred of
our earnest women have caught the
vision and banded themselves together
to work for civic righteousness along
all lines, and we are especially anX-
ious to establish this particular
branch as soon as possible. Mrs. Tay-
lor Lewis, of our Child Welfare de-
partment. and Mrs. Frank Cato, Of our
Educational department, have unself-
ishly given their time and talent to-
wards perfecting the plans for the
beautiful patriotic operetta to be given
at the Higfh school auditorium Tues
dav night. Now I feel that it is our
duty. as a community to make this
financial success. The price of ad-
mission 95c for adults and 25c for
children of twelve years ad under, is
within the reach of all, and l call upon
every member of our club to assist in
