In July, 1901, the El Paso, Texas, plant of the Consolidated Kansas City Smelting and Refining Company[52] was almost completely destroyed by fire. The power plant, blast-furnace building and blast furnaces were entirely destroyed, and portions of the other buildings were badly damaged. The flames were hardly extinguished before steps were taken to construct a new, modern and enlarged plant on the ruins of the old one, and on April 15, 1902, nine months after the destruction of the former plant, the new furnaces were blown in. In rebuilding it was decided to locate the new power-house at some distance from the other buildings. The furnaces have all been enlarged, each of the new lead furnaces (of which there are seven) having about 200 tons daily capacity. These and the three large copper furnaces have been located in a new position in order to secure a larger building territory. The entire plant is modern and up to date in every particular. One of the interesting features is the substitution of crude oil as fuel in the boiler and roasting departments. It is intended to use Beaumont petroleum for the generation of power and the roasting of the ores instead of wood, coal or coke, and it is expected that a considerable economy will be effected by this means.
