TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND De- LARS TO BE EXPENDED ON NEW CON- GENERATOR AND NEW
 SMELTER
TWILL SHUT DOWN TEMPORARILY
Good News For the District, Meaning Phelps Dodge Corporation Fu- e ture Policy Will Mean En-
 ', Iarged Operations

It has been definitely decided by the Phelps Dodge Corporation to build a new mill for the treatment of it's Mor- enci ores. The exact location of the mill has not yet been decided but two possible sites are under consideration. It will be complete, up to date con centrator of 2000 tons capacity for the present, but will be constructed in one thousand ton units and in such a man ner that additional units can be added as desired.
 A new i've compartment shaft will also be sunk through which to ex- tract the low grade ore bodies. New hoisting engines and underground tramming and electrical equipment will be installed. A vigorous intensive campaign of underground development work will also be entered upon immed- lately.
 The smelling plant will also be eith. CT completely remodeled, or a new plant erected, as in this department also it is vitally necessary to intro duce economics, which can be done by adopting the latest and most up to date smelter. practices.
 On account of the diminishing grade of tie ore, th"sc changes Ia '> become absolutely necessary, if tn. proper ties are to be kept in operation at a profit, as with the present old type Of machinery, both in mining, milling and smelling it is impossible to ob. tain reasonable costs.
 It is estimated that it will be nee essary for the company to spend from $2,500.O00 to $3,000 % in order to place +he properties on an economical producing basis
 ! It has been decided to cease pro duction at the mines September 9th also to close down the mill and sme1ter until such time as the new work can be completed. A large number of the men around the mines will be placed on development work. It will be nee. essary however, to lay of portion of the mining department, as there is not nncught work on development for all.
 Closing down the mill and smelter will throw out of work, temporarily, a number of men However construc tion upon the preliminary work of the new concentrator will be started as quickly as possible and as far as can be done, the old employees of the com pany will be taken care of.
 The above will be good news to the citizens of the district as indicating that the Phelps Dodge Corporations future policy will mean enlarged oper. ations and employment for larger number of men when these changes are completed.

COMMISSION DENIES APPLICATION FOR
 AUTOSTAGEL|
Mountain Aute Company Is Denied The Privilege Of Competing With CansIer and Webster on Cliff ton-Safford Run at Present
 Time. :.

The Arizona Corporation Commis- sion, as a result of public hearing held n the court House three weeks ago, on the application of The Noun tain Auto Co, for a certificate of eon- venience and necessity, for the oper- ation of an auto stage line between Clifton and Stafford, handed down a decision this week denying the appli- cation for the Clifton-Safford line, but granted the application for a schedule auto line between Clifton and Morenci and between Clifton and, Metcalf
 The application of the Mountain Au- to company was contested by Cansler and Webster, who have been operat- ing auto stages in this district since 1914
 The commission fixed the schedule service between the towns of Clifton and Morenci for the Mountain Auto Company as follows:
 Leave Clifton g a. m., Il a. m., 3 p. m., 5 p m
 Leave Morenci 8 a. m. 10 a. m 1 D m and 4 p m.
 In denying the application for a license to operate an auto stage be- tween Clifton and Stafford in opposi- tion to Cansler & Webster, the Com mission says:
 Following the hearing, the Commis- sioners sitting in this case made the trip from Clifton to Stafford over this road and they were entirely convinced that the operation of the stages is very expensive The traffic up to this time has been light and we do not think that it is sufficient to jus tify an additional line at this time Assuming that the traffic is now bare ly enough to meet the operating ex- penses of one car in each direction daily, it must be realized by even those seeking to enter this field that until there is greater volume of bu-
 siness, the operation of two lines
 would mean material loss to both We, believe that the, volume of traf- fic will increase and perhaps within a short period. The carrying of passengers over this line will mean great saving of both time, and money tc those finding it necessary to travei | between the populous districts of Graham and Gila Counties on the one
 hand, and Clifton, Morenci and Met calf on the other hand. The roads will doubtless be improved and the
 public will become familiar with the advantages of travelling this route. When this time arrives, we antici- pate that there may be ample justi- fication for the operation of two lines but from the evidence submitted and the observations of the Commission CTS, we must conclude that for the present, the application of the Noun tain Auto Company for permission to operate between these points cannot be granted. It will therefore be de- nied without prejudice and with the i understanding that it will be given
 further consideration at any time that
 circumstances justify, after a period
 of ninety days from date hereof.
