SHATTUCK ID REBUILD AT ONCE THE BUILD
 INGS DESTROYED
Company Making Record Time in Reconstructing and
 Shipments Good.

With hustle and hustle character istic of Superintendent B. M. Patter- son, the reconstruction of the build ings at the Shattuck mine. consumed by fire Saturday night last, are to be rebuilt and remodeled at once. To night. Or tomorrow at the latest, will find the blacksmith shop fully restor- ed and built anew throughout. Work on the office building will be commenc- cd within the next two days. The new office building which is to replace the one destroyed. will be built of plas- ter instead of frame. thus lessening the chance of destruction in case of another fire. Superintendent Patti son takes a philosophic view Of his loss, saying that better buildings will result from the confiagration.
 In the meantime, every wheel that can be turned is being propelled to build up the output of the Shattuck. Where but three weeks ago the output of the mine was approximately 125 tons daily, today, 1t averages 275 tons and the installation of the new AlliS Chalmers hoist will materially increase this output.
 It is expected that the new hoist will be in place aud working within the next three weeks. Work is now progressing cn it as rapidly as pos siblc.

The railroad and mining companies in this section find themselves short of fuel oil. and for this reason some of the pumps at the Junction and tac Briggs shaft of the Superior & Pitts burg have been stopped. Just enough pumps are being kept going to enable the work to be continued, and economy in fuel oil is the watchword that has been passed around the mines. A re port to the effect that all pumping at the Junction and the Briggs has been discontinued was circulated yesterday. but when traced to headquarters it was found that pumping operations had only been curtailed so far as prac- tical without interfering with the w-rk, pending the arrival of more fuel oil,

 A very small crowd attended the rop- ing contest which was advertised to take place at the park on Sunday af- ternoon, barely barely 100 people being present.
 The first number on the program was an exhibition of broncho riding by Jim Kinney and he demonstrated that be is able to do the stunt without any trouble.
 There were five entries in the calf tying contest ana good time was made. First money was won by Jim Kinney and Buster Gardner who tied and branded their calves in less than seven minutes.
 Kinney and Gardner then made an other attempt each, and Gardner was successful in carrying off first money.
 It was decided to have another trial for the championship, for side bet of $50.

 He is back on the road now taking orders as usual just the same as 1T nothing had happened, but there are great many people in San Francisco who will not soon forget the good work done by Gus Hevman during those trying days following the fire when men who were willing to do hard work were few and far between.
