Show VALLEY FURNACES ARE VERY ACTIVE With tho fourth furnaco in the Bingham Bing-ham Con.'s battery ln commission, tho valley smelters havo reached their prcs- cnt maximum, and to meet tho requirements re-quirements of tho mlne3 havo already started for a new one, tho enlargements nt somo of them well advanced. At each of the copper plants, Indeed, provision pro-vision Is being made for tho reduction of Increased tonnages, whilo tho American, Ameri-can, ln the accommodation of tho lead producer, has access to tho blast furnaces fur-naces of neighboring States, when Its furnaces nt Murray are overwhelmed. Unless the wealth shall prevent the enlargements en-largements at the Utah Con. smelter will have' been completed within tho next six weeks, while at tho United States a sixth copper furnaco Is now nearly ready to go Into commission, with work on Its lead smelter well ln hand. At the Yampa smelter in Bingham Bing-ham canyon a campaign of reconstruction reconstruc-tion Is going on. while copper, gold and silver-bearing matte is issuing from the solitary blast, which has shown ltBelf capable of reducing 240 tons daily, and with Its enlargement tho 6upply of bullion from thnt source will have added not a little to tho production of tho valley. Meanwhllo tho American Smelting and Refining company has found relief for its consignments of copper ores at tho furnaces of the Bingham Con., with which. It is not unlikely, a permanent alliance will bo effected before ground is broken for the Independent coppeT smelter projected some time ago. This will probably necessitate further enlargements en-largements at tho Bingham, for tho American's copper customers are expanding ex-panding with every shift. Whilo there Is talk of a smelter for the Boston Con. of Bingham, there Is nothing from official of-ficial sources to indicate that tho construction con-struction of one will bo undertaken until such a time as it shall be made imperative, while the policy of those already ln blast Is to make such concessions con-cessions that additional plants shall not bo necessitated. At the mills ln tho various camps the 'crushers are now grinding on very heavy tonnages, with the outlet for this class of ore to be infinitely Increased the present year, whilo tho outlook for labor Is correspondingly improved. All the while the producer Is adding to his resources, and It Is not difficult to see how and where ho Is to find a market for moro than double the present output. out-put. Mining' Notes.
