It is provided with a traveling crane, and no expense has been spared to make this, as all other parts of the plant, complete in every respect. The main conductors from the generators pass out through a tunnel into a brick and steel lightning-arrester house, from which point the various distributing lines go to different parts of the plant. _Blast Furnaces._—There are seven large lead furnaces, each having a capacity of 200 to 250 tons of charge per day, and three large copper furnaces, each having a capacity of 250 to 300 tons per day. All of the furnaces are enclosed in one steel fireproof building, the lead furnaces being at one end and the copper furnaces at the other. Each of the furnaces has its independent flue system and stack. An entirely new system of feeding these furnaces has been devised, consisting of a 6 ton charge car operated by means of a street railroad motor and controller with third-rail system. The charge cars collect their charge at the ore beds, lime-rock and coke storage, and are run on to 15 ton hydraulic elevators. They are then elevated 38 ft. to the top of the furnaces, traveling over them to the charging doors, through which the loads are dumped directly into the furnaces. This system permits of two men handling about 1000 tons per day. The same system and cars are used for charging the copper furnaces, except that, as these furnaces are much lower than the lead furnaces, the charge is dropped into a large hopper, from which it is fed to the copper furnaces by a man on the copper furnace feed-floor level. NEW PLANT OF THE AMERICAN SMELTING AND REFINING COMPANY AT MURRAY, UTAH BY WALTER RENTON INGALLS (June 28, 1902) Murray is a few miles south of Salt Lake City, with which it is connected by a trolley line. The new works are situated within a few hundred yards of the terminus of the latter and in close juxtaposition to the old Germania plant, which is the only one of the Salt Lake lead-smelting works in operation at present. The new plant is of special interest inasmuch as it is the latest construction for silver-lead smelting in the United States, and may be considered as embodying the best experience in that industry, the designers having had access to the results attained at almost all of the previous installations. It will be perceived, however, that there has been no radical departure in the methods, and the novelties are rather in details than in the general scheme.
