Copper smelter venture eyed in Pacific district by Girdler
Mr. Charles A. Girdler of the Black Hills, formerly of Nevada, travels to the Platte Cafton mining district to inspect developed claims and measure ore with a view to building a 30-ton-per-day smelter. He plans to organize a company, invite others to join, and has sourced figures for a $15,000 plant from Montgomery & Corey for a furnace that may use Shawnee creek coal if it cokes. The San Francisco Mining and Scientific Press lauds water jacket furnaces for efficiency, low downtime, and high bullion output, noting Copper Queen works at Bisbee and broad copper ore prospects across the West.
