Pt. 1 of 2 00:29:47 Title: “Rich copper ores, and the concentrates from copper mills, must be smelted...McGill, Nevada. 00:30:04 LS pan across smelter w/ chimney, steam, smoke & mountain behind. 00:30:17 Title: “Another at Garfield, Utah.” Pan larger buildings & heavy smoke; other chimney & tailings piles. “At Douglas, Arizona”.
