FIRE AT MAGMA
MINE DAMAGES
ELECTRIC PLANT

SUPERIOR, Ariz., Damage
amounting to approximately $780,
900 resulted from a fire at the
transformer substation of the
Magma copper mine here Sunday.
The transformers which convert
electricity from the Roosevelt
dam power line for use in the mine
here were consumed in the fire,
which is believed to have had it's
origin in an overheated trans
former.
The power throughout the mine
was stopped until 6 O'Clock, when
the electricians completed new
hook~up which made power avail
able through a new transformer
unit which is being constructed in
some improvements being made
here. The total possible power
was not available to the use OF the
mine Sunday afternoon, however,
but officials of the mine predicted
that all the machinery could be
worked within few hours.
The building in which the trans
formers were housed was of little
value but the electrical equipment
which it contained was costly.
Electricians said that the total
loss would probably be about
100000.
The structure and equipment
which was burned is known as the
Magma copper mine substation. 1t
is not known to what extent a re-
covery on the loss can be made by
the company. The regular work
of the mine will begin as usual on
Monday morning.
