SHATTUCk IS IN THE CLASS IF
 PRODUCERS
Becomes Shipper in Shorter Time and With Less Cost
 Than any of Them.

The Warren District has another producing mine. The Shattuck-Ari- zona entered this class yesterday, when the final test was made on the new tramway. Just two years after the first work was done on this prop erty with a windlass, preparations for the shipment of ore were complete. Great credit Is due to Superintendent B. M. Pattison for the vigorous man. her in which he has prosecuted the work, and put the mine in the class of producers in so short a tune. On ac- count of the inaccessibility of the Shattuck property for railroad pur- poses, it was necessary to install a tramway to carry the ore to the near est point where a spur could be built This tramway is is 3200 feet in length, and runs from the Shattuck. ore bins. to the railroad spur which runs past the Spray shaft of the Cop per Queen company. The tramway is supported by fourteen towers. varying in height from 12 to 40 feet. The towers are constructed of 12-inch tim Dtls anu al . SGL III COuCTGte IOunQd- tiOns. The moveable haulage cable is made of 5-S inch crucible steel. The traction rope for loaded buckets con- sists of 1 and 3-S inch round steel ca ble with flat strands. The return ca ble is made of steel, and is 7-S inch flat strand. The bins at the loading end of the tramway have a capacity of 1000 tons of ore. The terminal for loading the railway cars is so con- structed that that three steel ore cars can be put in position to receive ore from the tramway, and in case of emergency there is room for the load ing of additional cars.
 It is estimated that a bucket will travel 3S7 feet a minute on the tram way, and at this rate of speed it will be possible to load 800 tons of ore a day. The management expect to keep up an average of at least 300 tons of ore day. For the present, the Shattuck people will ship their ore to the Copper Queen smelter at Doug. las.
 At the present time two large ore bodies are being opened up on the TOO and 500 levels. There are a num- Der of stopes being worked on each leVel, opening up sulphide and carbo- nate ores. Development work is be- ing prosecuted on the 500, and at the present time the drift is in ledge mat ter and iron ore. Quite number of small ore bodies have been encounter ed on this level, but the main body has not been reached as yet.
 On the surface the new steel head frame is in position and ready for op- eration. The old hoisting engine is being moved to afford room for the installation of the hoist borrowed from the Junction. The Allis-Chalmers hoist which was ordered a long time ago, is already four months overdue, but word has been received that it would arrive here on the 18th of Sep tember. The Junction hoist will be used until that time The new 25- drill Sullivan air compressor is ex- pected to arrive shortly after the first of next month.
 space has been cleared for the erection of the new office building. which is to contain rooms for a gener- al office, one for the superintendent, and large engineering room. A sep arate building will be built for the as- savers.
 It is expected that the first car of ore will be shipped over the new spur not later than Tuesday morning.
