VALLEY FURNACES SHOW BIG OUTPUTS Enlargements at Utah Con. and the United States -Ltead Blasts for tho Kimberly Interests. While the spectacle down among tho furnaces of tho valley la one of unprecedented un-precedented activity at present, enlargements en-largements and tho campaign of expansion ex-pansion now In progress promlso to add materially to It within the next ninety days. At the Utah Con smelter the enlargements, which shall enable the management to reduce at least 750 tons dally, are now so well in band that all doubts concerning their completion com-pletion in June are removed, while at the copper furnaces of the United States smelter work on the sixth Is progressing to an early completion, thus enabling the management to keep five under continuous fire. In addition to this construction at the lead plant, which Is moving on quite satisfactorily, said Mr. Fischer, under whose supervision super-vision the lead furnaces are beinc reared, and It appears now as If the management was to be justified In entering en-tering the market for lead ores In Juno as previously proclaimed. It was said by the gossips yesterday that the Bingham Con's household was considering more seriously than ever the Installation of lead furnaces and that this subject was among others that necessitated the presence of Manager Man-ager MacVIchlo In the East. Mr. Kimberly, Kim-berly, owner of the largest Individual Interest In Bingham Con, and the possessor pos-sessor of similar holdings In the Hon-erlno Hon-erlno of Stockton, has, It Is said, become be-come strenuously urgent and In tho event tho Bingham Con refuses him the relief, will, It is claimed, seek it In tho construction of furnaces Independent Independ-ent entirely of the copper plant and without Its co-operation. He declines, It Is said, to go up against the open market with the output of the Hon-erlne Hon-erlne mines and mill and has admonished admon-ished his colleagues that the Bingham Con, If his purse chall prevent, will not be permitted to do It. Mr. Kimberly, Kim-berly, who controls not a little wealth himself, has said to his colleagues that with the lead ores of tho Dalton & Lark group and the product of the concentrator con-centrator with which that group Is to bo equipped, he Is prepared to go It "on his own hook," exacting of the Bingham Bing-ham Con only such toll In the reduction reduc-tion of its ores as shall afford legitimate legiti-mate earnings on the investment. In either event he Is unalterably opposed to contracts for the reduction of lead ores from either of the properties under un-der present exactions. The adjournment adjourn-ment of tho present conference in the East ought, accordingly, be followed by news of Interest to the smelter world. At tho American smelter at Murray the field battery of lead blasts as well na the bhr battery of roasters are in operation and while nothing recent has been announced concerninc the new copper smelter projected by the American Amer-ican an order to go ahead is hourly expected. ex-pected. At the Yampa 6melter In Bingham canyon the production of copper matte continues steadily with assurances of an Increased supply of ore the present week. |
