Boston Financial News.
c. N. Shannon, OF Clifton, Arizona,
the Original owner OF the property now
owned bv the shannon Copper COM
pany, is in town on business visit.
Mr. Shannon, who has been a resi-
dent OF the Copper Mountain mining
district practically since the first dis
coveries were made thirty years ago,
believes that Arizona will eventually
Outrank all other copper producing
centers, owing to the ability OF the
producing mines OF that district to
turn out copper cheaply, and the
presence OF great copper bearing lodes.
Control Of that portion of the Shan
non property owned for years by him
self was turned over to the prescn:
company in the fall Of 1899, and since
then the mine, which altogether com
prises forty claims, has been extensive
~ developed, and is now within sixty
days OF going upon a producing basis.
The smelter plant is expected to be
ia operation by April l. Practically
all of the machinery Is now on the
ground and, barring unforeseen delays,
the plant should be turning out black
copper by the date indicated.
The plant at the start will treat on
an average of $50 tons of ore daily with
both furnaces going, and the product
70. the current calendar year should be
about 5000, 600 pounds of refined cop
per. Later, when the converter and
Commentators are added, tonnage OF
100 tons daily will be treated, which
should bring the product up to 10000
900 pounds per annum. Eventually
the smelter facilities will be augmented
and the product CORRESPONDENCE in
creased.
Owing to the location of the plant
and the modern quality of the machin-
cry, the cost of laying down copper in
the East is expected to be low.
1t is understood that a group Of
capitalists have under consideration
the erection of refinery at Ell Paso,
Texas, crude oil to be utilized as L
fuel. All the producing Arizona prop
critics, with the exception of Senator
Clark's mines, together with the mines
on the northern border of Mexico, will
be tributary to this refinery.
The new railroad from Bisbee, Ari-
IONA, to FL Paso, Texas, has done
much for the development of the
mineral zone.
Mining interests are watching the
silver mining operations of f. B. Gage

II was the pleasure of representa-

Dairy. owned by, and now under the
management OF NJ. w. Whipple, who
established the business here about
seven years ago. The Dairy is located
about a mile and half south OF town
in Wards canyon, where Mr.. Whipple
has erected substantial proyements,
including a fine brick residence. The
dairy is supplied with water from a
we'll seventy-fve feet deep, and by
analysis the water is shown to be alb
solutely pure. The water is conveyed
by pipe 10 the barn 4JxG0 feet, where
the COWS are watered, fed and MIXED.
AT the present time the twenty COWS,
all high grade Durhams, are being
MIXED. The milk stock are kept 10 All
enclosure, and are fed on bran and
choice alfalfa hay, grown GA Mr.. Whip
pies ranch in the ella valley. The
corral is well drained, and Is kept in
perfect sanitary condition. The milk
ing utensils are hrst rlnsed IN tepld
water, then scalded with boiling water
and aired and dried in the sun. Great
care is taken with the milking, the
udders OF the cows being first washed
with tepid water before milking is com
menced. The milk is put into the de-
livery cans directly after 1t is MIXED
and always without the slightest adult
Grafton or coioring matter Of any kind.
1t is absolutely pure and fresh, and
comes from healthy, well fed and
properly kept cows. and is the equal Of
any milk sold anywhere in the United
