uates after they are settled, until they are discharged into the concentrate box
The main weight Of the machine is entirely supported on ball bearings
which require no fabrication and automatically take up wear
The Aycrhow from the Allen cones and taiings from the Sem concen-
traitors constitute the final mill tailngs.
All concentrates are delivered by gravity to a concentrate handle plant
alongside the mill spur of the A. q N. NJ. railroad and these are loaded into
the cars for shipment to the smeter.
The mill will be steel and concrete throughout, making an absolute ire
proof structure. 1t is modern to the most minute detail and will be tn most
upto-date and efficient small mill in the southwest, comparing in YER re
speet with the chino Copper Company o BuTTo Mountain Copper Company
mills except in tonnage treated.
j. W. Crowdus, f. M. of FL Paso, Tex, has designed and supervised the
construction of the plant, being IN the ground constantly. To Mr. Crowdu3
acknowledgment for the details of this mill data is given. A. j. .Indarrieien
is general manager of the company and has given much time to the study
and the construction of the plant
All of the ore from the IS mine win not be treated in this plant. The
ter in crude state from the ore bins.
It is hoped to have the new concentration in operation by the last Of
February n the first of March, 1918.
