Burger, consulting engineer of the New England and Clifton Cop per company, who arrived in camp last week, announces that the compa- ny will commence shipping ore about the first of December.

It is the in tentiOn of the management to ship from 800 to 1000 tons per month This ore will be brought from the mines to North Clifton. where it will be stored in bins to be drawn upon as needed by the smelter. The com pany expects to be able to ship at a profit ore of as low grade as 10 per cent The general average of the ore on the dump is much higher than that. It is also the intention of the management to at once commence development wor kon the Antetam and Ohio and .Sharpshooter mines, situated near Metcalf. Ore will also he shipped from these mines. which are so situated that they have an out let via three avenues, either through the ShapDoH tunnel, the King incline or by wagon road. These mines have made a remarkable showing for the amount of work done, and they will sooD be heavy producers. Mir Burg CT also states that the probabilities are that the company will soon com mence the construction of a concen- tTating plant. The company will put quite a number of men to work on their various properties, which with those engaged in hauling and hand. Ing the ore will make a perceptible difference in business affairs in and around Clifton.
