NEW OFFICERS ELECTED FOR
 SHANNON co.
ENTIRE NEW BOARD OF DIREc. TORS ELECTED IN BOSTON
 ON MONDAY.
The Disturbing Element Has Been Re moved, and George c, Gill Has Been Made President of the Company.

The Clifton Copper Era has the fol- lowing concerning the shannon Cop per company.
 The many speculation, as to the mysterious buying of shannon, the future policy and the control of the company, were set at rest Monday last at the annual meeting of the stockholders n Boston, which. con trary 10 all expectations. proved most harmonious and resulted in the elimi- nation of the disturbing element. which for years has been the great drawback to the success of the com pany.
 The board elected is as follows: George c. Gill, president; J. W. Haz- en, secretary and treasurer; Chas. F. Broopker, Berthold HochschilGs. Al fred A Coles, G. Ames, Chas Hay den. Dr. Wheeler, W. Verdin, direc- tors.
 Messrs Brooksr, Hochschilds and Cowles are prominent copper men. A A. CowIes Is president of the An sonia Brass and Wire company, and Charles F. Brooker Us president of the American brass company. Mir. Hochs- chilGs is president of the American Metal company, which company han dles thirty per cent of the copper out put of the United States. Chas Hayden is of the firm of Hayden Stone & Co.,, one of the most promi- change. MT. Ames is a capitalist largely interested in Shannon and Messrs. Gill. Hayden and Wheeler are hold over directors, anC are well known as the progressive members of the old board.
 It will be seen from the foregoing that amateurs have given way to ex- peILenced copper men, who have not entered this field through a mere ac- cident O. by chance, but have come into it after thorough investigation of the properties of the company. and future possibilities of the district The mtroduction of a strong copper element into this company, will not only broaden its future policy. but greatly strengthen it's position as a producer. and in the financial world as well. It is only reasonable to expect with infusion of this new blood, a policy of vigorous develop ment and improvement.
 The opening of new ore bodies in the mine, and the recent advance in the price of copper, have placed the new board in a position to take ad- vantage of the many possibilities with which this district abOunds.
 Under the presidency of M- Gill, and the management of MT Bonnie. coupled with the assistance ana expe- Hence of this board. the success Of this company has passed the period of uncertainty. Another point of congratulation to the new beard is the fact of being able to retain the iservices of General Manager Bennie. 10 whose efforts and knowledge of mining and smelting has resulted in placing the Shannon on the high road 10 prosperity. as il is understood that MT. Bennie. on hearing the result of the meeting, declined the splendid cf- | fer made by a large Mexican smelt- i ing company
 The announcement of the personnel of the new board was received by the ! Clifton shareholders and the public generally with strong expressions of confidence.
 There never has been a time in the history of the mine when there was | as much good ore in sight as at the present day notwithstanding the fac; that for many months past there has I been a steady output of 800 tons per
 day, which has lately increased to | GOO tons.
 It is now confidently expected that
 the many improvements needed al
 the mine and smelter will soon be
 made and that substantial buildings will take the place of the dreary look i'.ng tents which have long since pass led the period of their uaefulness lThe Shannon company has. come to
 stay, and can afford to house its em
 ployes as well as any other company
 in the district With additional i'm l provements and equipment and the 1acquisition of further producing prop
 critics the securities of the Shannon
 should soon reach a high value.
