arranging axis within plotting area

Dear useRs,
I have defined two matrices "prop" and "ELE" in the following manner
structure(c(122.466666666667, 87.1500875, 94.3647755102041, 84.8471625, 95.2767755102041, 84.15558125, 121.846666666667, 90.75970625, 98.2028979591837, 87.1500875, 88.2953043478261, 72.81219375, 88.234, 85.73326875, 82.4549743589744, 82.6041125, 96.1123888888889, 62.77575625, 86.9222790697674, 64.74370625, 57.2601860465116, 58.98126875, 91.7883555555556, 84.8471625, 92.170347826087, 84.15558125, 91.398085106383, 91.79875, 108.423025641026, 72.81219375), .Dim = c(2L, 15L), .Dimnames = list(c("ori", "sat"), c("Ba", "Gd", "Ko", "Mu", "Mz", "Bg", "Do", "Gk", "Ka", "Mn", "Na", "Rw", "Rb", "Kh", "Sk")))
c(995.4, 813.5, 614, 2291, 702, 1038, 2571, 461, 700, 171, 2500, 1615, 587, 1209, 1981)
Then I gave the following commands to make a plot
colours <- c("black", "grey")
barplot(prop,ylab = "Numbers", cex.lab = 1.5, cex.main = 1.4, beside=TRUE, col=colours,ylim=c(0,250))
axis(side=3,xlim=c(0,45), at=c(6,12,18,24,30,36,42), labels=c("Gd","Mu","Bg","Gk","Mn","Rw","Kh"))
axis(side=3,xlim=c(0,45), at=c(6,12,18,24,30,36,42), labels=c("Gd","Mu","Bg","Gk","Mn","Rw","Kh"))
par(new=TRUE)
barplot(ELE, pch=15,  xlab="", ylab="", 
    axes=FALSE, type="b", col="red",yaxt = "n",ylim = rev(c(0,4500)))
mtext("Cell Density",side=4,col="red",line=1) 
axis(4, ylim=c(0,7000), col="red",col.axis="red",las=1,cex.lab=0.5,cex.axis=0.7)
The problem is that the second Y-axis is somewhat located outside the plot and not visible. I kindly, require your help on it.
Thanks in advance,
Eliza
