Jack Stewart Shot.

What may terminate in fatal shooting scrape occurred at the Celtic group of mines near Met calf Friday evening.
 "Scotty" Camron and Joe Mo Quarry were doing some contract work on the claims, when Jack Stewart, a we'll known miner of that section and Joe McQuarry came to blows. McQuarry was getting much the worst of it when "Scotty" inter fered, and succeeded in separating the combatants. Stewart then took after "Scotty" with piece of gas pipe. "Scotty" ran into the cabin pursued by Stewart. "Scotty'' picked up pistol lylng on the table, and took shot at Stewart, the ball passing through his body, making a dangerous, and perhaps fatal wound. ''Scotty" then went to Metcalf and surrendered to the officers.
 Stewart was then brought down from the mines on a ladder, and is now at the A. c. hospital, and is in critical condition.
 Camron was given an examination before Justice Campbell and placed under bond to await the result of the shooting. Dan Lynch and Archie Morrison, who own the Celtic mines, made his bond, and he is now at liberty.
 The sentiment of the community is with "Scotty."

NEW PRESIDENT FOR THE SHANNON.

NEW PRESIDENT FOR THE SHANNON.
 At the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Shannon Copper company which was held in New York last week, M. L. Amster was elected president of the company, and Messrs. Hayden, Hochield, Mo Neil, Davis, McKelvy and Payne directors. The three first named were of the old board. Manager Bennie, who was called east to at tend the meeting, was retained as manager under two years contract, which news was received with much satisfaction by the many share holders in this section, as well as the public in general. MT. Bennie while regretting to part with his old friends of the former directorate. is exceed ingly we'll pleased with the new men who are now at the head of the com pany. He is quite enthusiastic over the future of the company. He ducing at the rate of 18,0O0, ,000 pounds of copper yearly, ,and when the new 1OOO-ton furnace is completed, which will probably be in February, the production will be in creased 30 per cent. The output for the next fiscal year will therefore be between 22,OOO,OOO and 25,OOO,OO pounds. The increased facilities for smelting will materially reduce the cost of production, and correspond ingly benefit the shareholders. Con- sulting Engineer Watson estimates that 300, ,O06 tons of ore will be taken from the Shannon mine during the next year, which now averages be- tween 34 and per cent. The Shan non company is now in a position where it will forge rapidly to the front, and, and is destined ere long to become one of the leading Com- panies of the territory. It passed through number of lean years, but thanks to an honest set of officials and able local management, it was able, even at the low price of copper Cucn Iu1lhg, Io MCCI dlA O"IiS oeAOHo, retire it bonds, and at the same time improve its plant and general equip ment. With its present splendid success it will no doubt expand it's sphere of usefulness in this com munity, until it is treating ore from all sections of the district, as well as from many parts of Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico. The stock of the company is rapidly rising in value, being now quoted at nearly $19. It is likely this advance will continue until it reaches S25, or even more.
