MINI INDUSTRY REMAINS
Iff HIGHJEJI DISTRICT
Miners Cominsj in from North Affords Plenty of Labor
and Copper Production for Month Ls Satisfactory
C. and A. Smelter Geltin g Ready to Take Shattuck
Ore and Shipments Will Start Nov. 1.
C. AND A. DEVELOPMENT IN OTHER DISTRICTS
While the substantial Increase In
Btock of copper on hand and the de
cided falling off In demand shown by
the metal producers report was a sur
prise to local mining men it was we'I
taken and the conditions shown wero
considered quite satisfactory since It
alleviated the fear of Immediate rapid
advances In copper prices that haw
been expressed In some quarters. It
ls recognized, however, that the re
port does not reflect immediate con
dltions as will latter reports. Either
this month or next the effect of the
three weeks loss of communlcatior.
with Cananea and Nacozari are ex
pected to be shown and also the effect
of the strikes at Bingham and Ely.
That either there will be little change
in tho surpluses reported In the com
ing two reports or that there will be
shown to be decreases Is the opinion
that generally is expressed here.
Men Coming In
With the advent of fall and the ap
proach of winter there has appeared
the usual advent of men who have
summered at the mines of the north
and have come south to a old the
rigors of the winter. The labor short
age that was complained of Is conse
quently ending and It is thought that
within a short time there will be
plenty of workers In all the shafts of
the three companies. It is true that
this labor Is not what the companies
desire most, that they would prefer
men with families who can be depend
ed on to stay by the work and not to
drift away again In the spring, but at
that they are satisfied to bs able to
fill places that have been empty with
the best that is obtainable. Increases
In the output of the distrht are ex
pected to be shown through the com
ing winter months.
CALUMET AND ARIZONA
There was nothing of special local
Interest encountered during the past
week in the C and A circle in the
district. Captain Greenway returncj
on Monday from a trip to Chicago and
New York, closing the contract for
smelting the Shattuck ores at the
C. and A. smelter in Douglas while m
the windy city.
Since his return he has had work
started on a temporary sampling
works which will be required far
handling the Shattuck ore until the
sampling works being erected In cor.
nection with the new plant Is ready
for operation. It will require abou.
two weeks to get things in shape at
the smelter to accomodate the Shat
tuck ore and In the meantime the
Shattuck people are adding a few men
already and expect to put a force in
'Hy Nov ember 1 to take out two hun
dred tons dally besides continuing de
Telopment work.
The preparations are coming aloiti.
well for the work of concreting the
Junction shaft which is expected to
start very soon now. This is a big
undertaking and something new in the
AVarren district where new imitation.,
are coming along pretty legular re
cently. The New Smelter
The construction work at the new
C. and A. smelter in Douglas ls mak
ing splendid progress and the accom
plishment up to this time has even
exceeded the original plans and expec
tation. All the men who can be ac
commodated on the various deparc
ments are kept at work and so far
there has been but little delay on ac
count of non-arrival of material. Aft
r lnoklnc over the work Capt Green-
way predicts that the new blast fur
naces will be compieiea ana in oyer
tion hv Mar first and he expects to
see the entire plant ready for action
before- August. This was the ostlmato
of time required to erect the plant
when the work started the first of the
present year.
C, and A. in wtner Lamps
Tho n. and A. is now lust starting
development work on eight-five claims
recent! uuuucu "
trict north of Florence in Pinal conn-
ty. Here It Is now piannea to sinh. u
threercompartment shaft and also niu
a tunnel. Development machinery will
be Installed and electric power Will
be taken from the Hay Consolidated
company, twelve miles away. Forty
to fifty men will be employed here
and Jack Hooper, formerly of Blsbee
will e in charge.
There Is much activity now In evi

The Guggenheim's have taken a
bond on the old Lake Superior anj
Arizona mine In the Superior district
and the property is now being un
varied so that It may have a close ex
amination. In Pima County
The C and A. Is continuing develop
ment work on the .New Cornelia pro
petty bonded several months ago and
located forty-five miles south of G1U
Bend, the railroad station on t!ie
o,iherti Pacific. 125 miles west of
Tucson. Sixty men are employed here
and diamond drill work Is the feature
of tho camp. It Is reported that a
fair tonnage of very low grade ore
has been encountered It ls copper In
the form of carbonates and sulphides
In the form of chalcopyrite. It ls be
lieved that a new process for bene
flciatlng this ore will have to be found
before successful rederation would be
Fossible. Mike Curley is In charge
of this Pima county work.
At Courtland
The C. and A. company ls working
fifty-five men In Its Courtland mines.
Stoplng is being done and two cars of
ore are being shipped dally to the
Douglas smelter. Besides this produc
tion work some development work is
also In hand.
DEVELOPING ORE STRIKE
Jn the Uncle Sam property of the
Copper Queen company wort of devel
opment or the ore body continues and
the Importance of the discovery Is be
coming more clearly recognized. This
property Is In the Southeast country
adjacent to the line of the Shattuck
property. It Is learned that this ore
body has now been cut to a length of
over 230 feet with the workings still
In ore of the same grade and charact
er Such an ore body as this in camps
that are less extensive than Bisbce
would receive much more general at
tention than has been the case here
where Jt Is merely in the da)s wonc
and along the line of past experiences
and future expectations.
At the Dallas shaft development
work in the drifts that are being run
on two levels continue with good in
dications but no announcements of
any Important discoveries have been
made.
At the recently acquired Copper
King property the road up the hill has
been completed and the churn drill
Installed and started. On this proper
ty the running of a tunnel mentioned
last week, is 1elng continued.
Work has been Btarted on the new
change room that is to be built by this
company The foundation is already
laid and actual construction wr.it

LOWER IHSEFTEMBEB
Annual Production Estimat
ed at 17,000,000 Pounds
with $2 Dividend
Says the Boston Financial News
The output of the Shannon for tli
month of September was somewhat
below the July and August figure?,
but the output is bound to fluctuate
more or less with once in a while a
poor month and then again a month
tetter than the average. The develop
ments at the property have teen very
favorable as the lower levels continue
to develop large bodies of good grade
while the outside properties are also
showing up well.
The Shannon output for the calen
dar year up to the end of September
was about 13,000,000 lbs, which would
indicate about 17.000,000 Its for the
year It is expected that the earn
ings for the current year will be about
$3 per share and, with, j continuance
of the present prjces'-frfr copper. Share
non will do better , next-year At the
present time the company is earning
at the rate ot fcetter-than $3 per share.
Thd Initial dividend of 'fifty cents
ner share was declared In August and
thorn ic Yin roflftnn to doubt that thj
(rtlrertnra -in declare another dividend
of 50 cents per share in November.
iue cuinpauj i ou-u wiv"
the $2 ner annum dividend basis seems
very conservative, and, if conditions
are as favorable during the first half
of 1913, it Is easy to believe the rate
will be increased.
As a result of the policy devoting
all earning to improvement of proper
ty for several years the Shannon pro
perty Is In splendid shape and the
treasury has a sufficient amount for
.working capital. Jt is evident, also.
,that the earnings are large enough to
provide for a gradual purchase of the
railway bonds outstanding and thus
relieve the company or me maeoieu
ness. The railway Is earning more tnsn
the interest charges so that It 13
In no sense a burden, but the direct
ors felt that as there was no sinking
fund provision In the bonds It would
be a good policy to appropriate a part
of the earnings for the purchase of
bonds and this year's proportion was
purchased before the dividend was de
clared In AugusL
Shannon pays one of the highest per
centages of the coppers on the cost
and Is earning one of the highest per
centages on the market price for the
stock, notwithstanding the record It
)ias established as a steady and re
liable producer.

TUCSON OCT. 23
Track Lavers Have Steel

Where Connection
Will Be Made
BUILDINGS UNDER WAY
TUCSON. Oct. 12 The El Paso and
Southwestern railroad will reach Tuc
son Octobr 23, according to advices
received a few days ago In Tucson bj
J. S. Harlow, engineer In charge of
the construction work at this point
This is the first definite and official
notice ot the exact time that trade
laying will be cpmpleled.
The Clenega bridge was completed
Tuesday, and the track laying machine
(will start toward Tucson this mornlns
from a point Just east ot Vail. There
is a large force of men on the work
and there is about 20 miles more to
be laid. The engineers have figured
that the machine can lay a mile and
a nan a day ine tracK is periecuy
straight into Tucson from the starting
point at the bridge.
Tracks at Twin Buttes
The connection will be made at the
crossing of the Twin Buttes road. The
yard tracks In Tucson have been laid
to that point The lirst train to come
in will be the work train and soon
following that there will be a material
train. It was stated Tuesday by Mr.
Barlow that the railroad company
would start running trains soon after
the track was completed, and that
some temporary arrangement would
be made In regard to a -depot. Iho
depot will not be done for some time.
The work In the Tucson yards Is
progressing very rapidly The round
bouse will be done in a very shoit
time. The foundations and piers fc
Jt have been poured already Thr
work of constructing will start Im
mediately A brick supply house will
be In the process of construction with
in a day or so
Foundations Being Laid
The freight house foundations are
being laid now. The carpenters have
the forms up and have started pour
ing the foundations The work will be
pushed as rapidly as possible.
In discussing the yards in Tucson,
Mr Barlow said that 14 miles of
yard track had been laid. This will
be as much ard track as tie com
pany will need for a while Later on
when business warrants it. more track
will be put down
In regard to the immediate runninj
of trains over the newly complete'!
line Mr Barlow said "Some temio
rary arrangements will be made In or
der that the company can accommo
date the people in Tucson and alon
the line Merchants will want mei
chandlse from that end of the line and
ne will accommodate them as much
as we possibly can
MINERS INTERESTED
If-
Every Run in Championship
Games Relayed Through
Underground Tunnels
"And shall the lied Sox die, and
shall the Red Sox die, there's three
thousand underground will know the
ho and why," Is a modern adapt'ou
of an old English chant that is aj-
plicable to the Warren district during
the world's championship baseball
series.
Every run that Is scored In the
games of the series is relayed
through the underground passages of
the mines of the Warren district,
from surface to cage, from cage to
levels, from levels to stopes, to the
furthermost workings of the mines of
he district

is Giants and Red Sox.
NO FAIR SPECIMENS
It Is surprising and disappointing
to those who desire to have the min
eral exhibit at the Phoenix fair In
creased that no Individual claim own
ers have seen fit to send specimens to
the office of tho Commercial club to
be forwarded to the Btate capital.
Claim owners are ever complaining ot
the difficulty to bring attention to
their holdings but are slow in this
case to obtain publicity that could be
had with little difficulty or expense.
Specimens are promised the Uir
from Tombstone and also from the
Shattuck company but these are prac
