J I OVER THIRTY MINES J I SHIPPERS TO MASON I tf We understand t'lat the enlarging 0 I or the Xo 2 furnace at the Mason Val- 0 ley smeltor Is proceeding well, and tU barring some unforeseen delav, this 0, work should be completed at an parly 0 J date. This furnaco will then be blown J( In. while No. 1. which is now operat-J operat-J Ing. will be shut dovn and thc work 1 of lengthening and enlarging begun, I savs Thompson, Towle & Co. I When t-hese alterations have been completed No. 2 furnace will handle iS50 tons per day. which will enable both furnaces to handle at least 1.S50 tons per day. This compares with the ! original rated capacity of each fur- , nacc of 400 tons per day, or a total i capacity for the smelter of S00 tons. I ; From this it will be seen that the en- I largements which aro now In prog- resa will give to the plant double Its 4 original rated capacity. '4 Custom ore Is coming in steadily. I ; Thirty mines are now contributing, Jj! not Including the Nevada Douglas rf- property. These shippers have been I sending to the Mason smelter an av- Ij eragc of from 95 to 100 tons of ore 3 per day, while- during the month of 9 June the Nevada Douglas sent on an I average of about 390 tons of ore per B day, which would indicate that the aj total custom ore coming to the smel- y ter In June was close to 500 tons per I day. I The copper production from the y Mason Valley smeltor is now aver- J aging about 1.500,000 pounds per I month.
