1917. Two of the men who were de ported at that time. John Stanfield and Mickey ScanlOn, several weeks ago filed damage suits against a long list of defendants whom they alleged had a hand in the deportation. h. cluded in the list of defendants were Sheriff Joe Young. Undersheriff John nie Robinson and Ed Block. and it is these three men in particular that the local attorneys propose to defend and show the world that the organization has slight sympathy for things that smack of WObblyism
 In both of the suits above mention ed, some defendants are copper com panies or other corporations who have their respective staffs of local attor- neys and the interests of these defend ants are to be looked after in the usuai manner. but the attorneys believed that it would be a patriotic thing to do if they offered their services without charge to such defendants who had no regular attorneys in their hire and who might otherwise be put to the expense of hiring legal talent to de-

smeltery, at Douglas. The Copper Queen plant here has never approach ed these figures in tonnage with the same sized furnaces. Consequently, H. H. Stout, now superintendent of the Copper Queen plant. working with the object of increasing tonnage, decided to enlarge the size of the reverbera- tory uptake at the Copper Queen plant from 33 sq. it. to so sq. it. outlet, on account of the low draft in the up- take of his furnaces. The result was that there was an increase in furnace tons per day from approximately $50 to 500. The increased area of outlet reduced the gas velocity from 75 1t. per second to 40 it. per second. After the furnaces had been in operation about three weeks, the front and up- take burned down, on account of not having control of the fire zone.
 At this time I increased the uptakes on the furnaces at the Calumet & Ari- Zona plant from 30 So. 1t. to 70 sq. ft. outlet, which augmented the furnace capacities from 400 to $50 tons per day. With the benefit of Mir. Stouts experience with his front and uptake, We started experiments with the con- trol of the smelting zone by the ad- mission or non-admission of air through dampers al the burner holes. with the result that our outpost was increased to over 900 tons per furnace day. This enormous gain over the old operation was accomplished by be- ing able to burn 200 additional bbls. of oil or a total of 500 per day in the same furnace, when previously it was possible to burn only 300 bbls. per day. The combustion and the control of the fire zone by dampers was perfect. con lining combustion to the first 90 ft of furnace and preventing the flames from carrying through to the front or uptake end, as had happened before, with disastrous results to the brick. Of the total charge. 92I is delivered in the first 30 it. of furnace; the re- mainder is for protection of side walls only. All material is side charged
 The temperature at the fronts is from 23OO degrees F. to 2400 degrees F., or the same as when the fire zone was not under control. Another point not to be overlooked is the conservation of heat in the calcines between the roasters and the reverberatories. We have always watched this point care fully. and it is a vital consideration when dealing with large furnace ton nages and aiming at fuel economy.

JULY TONNAGE
 HIGHER THAN THAT OF JUNE
Manganese Shipments Show Increase Also; Southwest Ore Body Continues to Open Out

The tonnage made by the mines of the Phelps Dodge corporation here during July was somewhat higher than that of June and the production of copper from the smelter at Doug las proportionately greater. It is probable that August production also will be heavy though many things may intervene between now and the end of the month to cause some dimin- utiOn in the proposed output.

WORKERS START TO REPAIR GREAT
 SMOKE STACK
IN ORDER TO RE-RIVET BIG CHM NEY AT PHELPS-DoDGE POWER HOUSE, BLOWER FROM DAW- SON MINES IS INSTALLED TO CARRY AWAY SMOKE

One of the most unique pieces of lrepair work undertaken in mining cir cles in this district for many a day is the re-riveting of the huge smoke stack at the Phelps Dodge power house, preliminary arrangements for which now are well underway Though ordinarily the smoke from a battery of boilers would be going up this great flue, q way has been found to prevent this, while at the same time operation of the power plant remains uninterrupted. Soon the stack will be in good repair and will be thrown into use as before.
 A short time since it was discovered
 that fumes passing through the stack had made serious encroachments upon the rivets in the big steel tube, and while it was not in a precariOus con dition. there was danger that if al lowed to go on too long without rem edy. a very heavy repair bill would have to be met.
 Several problems had to be solved before the work could proceed, the chief of these being to repair the stack without closing down the power plant for a time, at least In order to do this a large blower which wOulc afford the proper draft was brought here from the coal mines at Dawson, N. M This was connected with one end of the draft chamber, at the rear of the boilers, last Sunday. The stack then was flOored with eye beams and earth so as to make it smoke tight" The scaffolding on which the iron workers will stand while riveting then was put in place and shortly will reach the top of the stack, when actu- al repair work will be started.
 As soon as the repair has been made the boilers will be closed down for few hours, the floor removed from the stack, the blower removed frcm the end of the draft chamber, which then can be sealed. In the meantime, smoke will rCil out the end of the draft cham Der instead of through the stack as it normally does, which circumstance doubtless will arouse considerable curiosity among the people of the dis trict who do not know the nature of the repair being done.

It is a well established fact in east ern metal circles and in government circles that the holding up" was done by the government; that federal en- bargoes upon shipments of various kinds over the railroads during the last quarter of 1917 reached copper among other things and that practical ly every shelter yard in the west carried large stocks of copper which could not be shipped during that peri cd. At the same time copper was sidetracked all the way from Seattle to New York while priority materials occupied the main lines. The em- bargo loosened only when the need of copper for immediate war contract uses became desperate.
 While copper was kept out of ship ment in the last quarter of 1917 it was necessarily kept out of sale, and the remarkable thing is that in con- nection with belated deliveries on con- tracts held by producers who were kept out of production during the sum- mer and fall by strikes and were able to get only small part of the actual smelter production during the last y cries and recorded as sales, the dis parity between the record of sales and of production was not vastly greater. Another thing is that while 100.00O0O0 pounds of copper looks large when set by itself, it is as a matter of fact no great item in the total annual production. Arizona alone produces more than two-thirds of the much emphasized hundred million pounds each month when going nor nal
 With reference to copper profits, the Federal Trade Commission report says: 'The average profit was 244ct. Probably over 70et of the production is marketed at profits over 20Cs on investment. These same companies show an average profit of only 11.7Gs in 1913, which may be considered to be a normal year. Thus the average profit in the industry has more than doubled" In the copper share and metal circles it is remembered that 1913 was not an average year. Metal prices were low and money very diff. ficult to secure for copper enterprises. because investors have always figured that the risks incurred, the fluctua- tiOns in price and the attendance of constant necessity for large expendit- ures for development and additional equipment, entitle them to at least 15fS on their money after the period of from three to six years. and often more, during which they have to wait for return of any kind from money put into a raw nrOnprtv
 While the government report shows that 1917 profits were more than dou- ble those earned in 1913, it is to be remembered that risks have multiplied and money is far higher since 1913. A much more important fact escaping general observation is that under pressure of war. combating strikes influenced by the German propaganda which has assailed all war industries in the country overcoming shortage of technical men, mechanics and other skilled operatives who have been drawn into the war as volunteers or by draft, the copper industry has been obliged to an extent that perhaps no other has to reach into and deplete its exhaustible supplies. Extraction of high grade ores from limited areas of the latter has been at unprecedented rate and has cut down the life and

HARRY CLARK OF [. & A. SHELTER
 WRITES LETTER
Tells of Big Gain in Reverber- atory furnaces made by Modern Plant at Douglas in Daily Output

Endeavor to get more from raw ma terials and at the same time reduce the expenditures of labor, time and supplies required in treatment has been general among all industries dur ing the war, but in none have more highly organized and earnest staffs worked to this end than in mining, milling and smelting in Arizona and in none has there probably been as wide a range of general advance.
 These achievements have been in- dicated from time to time in reports of increased results being obtained at various plants within the state, not a one of which but has achieved higher efficiency in its practice since the war. One of the most important, which is finding copying throughout the smelting industry with result of large saving of fuel, has been brought into prominence because of some dis cussion as to the place of origination of the improvement. A letter recently issued by Superintendent Harry A Clark of the Calumet & Arizona smel- ter. and published in the Mining & Scientific Press, settles this point and at the same time gives a clear and valuable statement of the results sought and how obtained and which incidentally places Douglas properly in the fore front in shelter advance ment The letter follows:

HEAVY FLOW STRUCK
 ON UPPER LEVEL
 OF SILVER BEAR MINE

A most peculiar circumstance in the recent development operations of the Phelps Dodge properties here was the striking of the so heavy flow of water in drift on the 600 fcOt level of the Silver Bear mine that it was found necessary to pipe it down to lower levels in order to keep the stopes from getting water soaked and heavy. It is particular ly strange in view of the fact that very little water has been struck in the lower levels. the 500 and 900 levels being practically dry.
