CASA eRANpE DISTRICT

The company operating the Lake Shore copper group and the company
 operating regular shipments of high
 grade copper ore from Casa Grande depot and large number of teams are engaged in hauling in the ore and in hauling out supplies and ma
 chinery. The Copperosity company
 Is still installing hoists, compressors pumps and air drills and prosecuting development work on a large scale. At the Jack Rabbit and Desert Queen mines development work is progressing rapidly and yielding very satisfactory results.
 Preparations are making at the Turning Point mine and mill for an early resumption of work on thet prop erty.
 At the Compton mines, formerly
 known as the Els & Chamberlain group. work has been discontinued but

ss+ATTUcK 6 ARIZONA.

The officers of the Shattuck & Ari zona company in Bisbee are still re. ceiyiRg bids for the erection and com. pieting of their S00-ton capacity smeI. ter. together with a converter plant. which will soon be under course of construction at Douglas Bids con tinned to arrive this week, and it is the expectation of the officers to have all bids in by the latter part Of next week. following the receipt of all the hsds they will be forwarded to the board of directors of the company at Duluth, CT 1t is possible that the board of directors may come to Bis bee to award the contract. Manu- lecturers of structural steel for the Shattuck & Arizona smelter, have stated that they will be able to begin shipment of material for construction within forty-ive days after receipt of crders. and the steel furnaces are ex- pected to arrive from four to six months after the order has been plac- ed. II is the intention of the Shat tuck & Arizona directors to have their shelter in operation within one year after work of construction is started. As beginning the plant will consist of two furnaces. of 400 tons capacity each. with power plant of sufficient capacity for an additional third fur mace. Two converter stands are also included in the specifications. The smelter buildings. trestles and ore bins are all to be constructed of steel and the plant will be modern and up-to- date in every particular.
 At the smeiter site in Douglas the ground has all been surveyed for the buildings on the 160-acre tract which the Shattuck & Arizona company re- ceived from the Copper Queen com pany.
 At the Shattcek 6, Arizona property during the past month the shipments have been steadily increased to the smeters of the Copper Queen at Doug las. and more men are at work on the first day of June than at any time pre- vious to the so-called strike on April 9th. It is now the expectation of Superintendent Pattison to make the month of June the biggest production month on record On May 31 the Shatt1ek 6 Arizona shipped 365 tons to the shelter at Douglas, which is the biggest tonnage shipped in any one day since the Shattuck & Arizona began production. It is the intention to ship on an average of 360 tons dai- iy during June. Development work on the 800 level of the mine is being crowded along with splendid results, cnd drifting has also begun on the 900. The ore going to the smelters now comes from the workings on the 7th and Sth levels. Preparations are being made also for the installation af the Shattuck of g Coriiss eompres- sor

SILVER THREAD.

At the Silver Thread some develop ments are looked for in connection with the recent copper strike made there. The water level has been suf- ficiently lowered to permit of exten- sive exploration of this find and with in a few weks drift win hay opned same at the lowest s1pth of the present workings. when the extent of the deposit may be determined
 Many miners are of the opinion that a vast bed of copper underlies the en- tire district and the Silver Thread de posit may lead to some remarkable copper disclosures below the watery strata that is being rapidly penetrated. Altogether the outlook for the Tomb stone district looks very encouraging and hopeful for still greater strides forward.

COPPER MARKET WAITING ON
 BROOKER
Small Consumers Want to See If He Pays High Prices for His Hundred Million Pounds Order This Year

Boston.-As June l approaches there is an increasing demand for copper coming into the market. but not until after that date should a large volume of orders be recorded on the books of the selling agencies.
 Charles F. Brooker. the president of the American Brass co, is in Europe, and is not expected to return before early in June and as he has in charge the buying of over 100, 100000 pounds of copper annually, it is thought that many of the smaller brass manufact- urers are waiting to see if he pays the prevailing high prices for his require ments for the balance of the year be- fore they place their orders.
 We know several members of the American Brass Association who have written one of the largest copper pro ducers in the country asking that June deliveries of the metal be post poned into July. It is quite likely, how ever, that these requests are made for effect on the copper sellers, as they are arriving coincident with com plaints from other large manufactur- CTS regarding slight delays in the re- ceipt of shipments, and asking that pains be taken to see that no more delays are permitted to occur
 The Calumet & Hecla Go. is sold up to July 1 and is making small sales at it's full price of 26 cents per pound. It may be of interest to state that one very large German manufacturer recently asked the Calumet & Hecla Co. to name figure at which it would sell covering requirements for the bal ance of the year, but no better price than 26 cents was quoted.
 It is inevitable that copper must eventually come down from its pres ent abnormally high level, but there is nothing in the general business sit uation to cause any apprehension re- garding the immediate future. The largest copper interests maintain that with decline say to 20 cents per pound, there will appear a sufficient demand from sources which are pro- hibited from paying 9 cents, as to prevent anything more than fraction al recession from the 2e-cent figure.
 The world has been educated to the use of copper and brass to an extent which is not generally appreciated when attempts are made to measure consumptive requirements. Some of these requirements cannot be placed at 25 cents, but they can be at be- tween IS to 20 cents, and it is this deferred demand which is expected to let copper down easy when the de cline actually sets in.
 One of the largest producers says: At the worst. do not see how it is possible for copper to decline below 20 cents between now and January l. There is an actual scarcity of available supplies and I look to see full prices paid when next the con sumers enter the market, and this they must do within the next two or three weeks"

STRIKE AT JOHNSON CAME.

One day this week at the bottom of the 100-foot vertical shaft of the Elm pire Gold Mining company's property at Johnson rich body of green car bonotes was encountered which Is thought will assay at least 20 per cent.
 Later reports received state that since striking this ore they have driy- en crosscut from the footwall into twenty-seyen feet of ore. Also they have carried down the shaft twenty five feet further and are stin in ore. As they have not reached the hanging wall the width of the vein Is not known The vein was struck between the lime and porphyry. The forms- tion is soft to such an extent that augur holes could be driven easily. the miners making four and five feet e day.

Duluth Man Speaks Well of Mines and Mining Here Surprised at the Progress of BiSbee,

DULUTH, Minn., June 1.--Fred H Merritt and George w. Waite have re. turned from the Southwest, where they spent the past three weeks look. ing over the mining camps of Globe and Bisbee, Arizona.
 Martin RosendahI started out from here with them, but gave it up and re- turned before Globe was reached. He was indisposed and concluded that home was the best place for a sick man. so he came back forthwith.
 Things are looking well at the Globe and Bisbee camps.'' said MT. Merritt. The mines at Bisbee arc shipping just about as much ore nuv as they were before the strike. The miners have not given up their strike but most of them have left the camp and new men have come in and gone to work
 Miners are not plentiful, howe yer, so that development work is being re- tarded somewhat The companies are placing all of their men at work at the shipping mines and only carrying
 
 gagged in the actual mining.
 Shattuck-Arizona is a corking good mine. They are shipping about 20 tons day now Denn-Arizona looks well although of course, they have not started shippink there lately.
 ''The town of Bisbee looked a great deal better now than 1t did the last time I was there. The streets have been paved and other improvements made in the general appearance of They have a population of about 9,00U there now and it is growing all the time Real estate is away up.
 ''1 was under the impression that Old Dominion, Arizona Commercial. National, Globe Consolidated and Su- perior & Boston constituted the Globe district but these really comprise the northeast corner of what will in time be the largest copper camp in the country.
 The mineralized zone is from one to ten miles wide. There are several producing properties about which we hear nothing in Duluth. The Gibson mine is hauling about fifty tons of high grade ore a day, sixteen miles to Globe. Much low grade ore is de- veloped in the mining The same is tire of Black Warrior, Continental and several other properties. which are shippin enough high grade ore to pay the development expenses.
 Globe Consolidated has a vein known as the Bird vein from which sufficient ore could be extracted to nearly pay for the sinking of both the Gem and Mallory shafts
 The National Mining company's property is located on the strike of two distince faults. both of winch cross the entire property. Superior & Boston is we'll located, too.

May Shows the Largest War ren Production of Any Month This Year with Only One Exception,

Despite the bombastic claims of the would-be disturbers of conditions in the Warren Mining District, the pro ductIon figures of the three large min. ing companies for the month of May, show that there has been on decrease in the amount of copper being pro duced at the two big smelters at Doug las, but on the other hand the pro- ductiOn figures at the Copper Queen smelters at Douglas record the largest output, with one exception, of any month this year.
 The production figures for the War ren district for the month of May are as follows:
 Copper Queen Shelter. .9,500, ,0OO
 C. < 4. and s. & P.... .4,00O, ,O0O
 Shattuck & Arizona .... e50, ,O0O
 All the operating mining companies in the district report the same amount of men at work as were employed this time last year.
 The Shattuck & Arizona reports an increased number and the outlook for this company for June is the biggest production on record.
 At the Copper Queen a new engine is being installed at the Czar shaft and il is the expectation of the man agement to have this cid reliable pro- duceT back in commission within fortnight.

 New prospectors are invading the district and making new discoveries. The future of that section now looks exceedingly bright. There is every indication that it's former splendid record of silver and lead production will soon be surpassed by it's output of copper The district is yet in its in- fancy and it's magnificent possibilities not yet properly understood or ap- preciated-Florence Blade

The way in which things are being crowded along about Cananea Central main working shaft gives every ground for expectation that there wall be earlier completion of the big work there preliminary to the getting at extensive production than was antici- pated. Vigor is in evidence on all sides. In the main tunnel, driving to make connection with tho delivery shaft from the Bonanza workings. rapid progress is being made. At the site for the ore bins filling is going ahead rapidly and the next week should see the foundations ready for the commencement of structural work. Trains commenced operating the first of last week to the Cananea Duluth end of the new railroad line. The latter has been finished in fine man ner. The ballast is slag and the job from end to end reflects high credit upon those responsible for its con- struction. The roadbed is sufficient ly wide for double track should it at later date be required. Trestle frames are set in cement beds and stability stands forth throughout the work.
 Final settlement of the Cananea Duluth controversy which came up a year ago is reliably understood to have been brought about The best evi- deEce of this is probably found in the fact that work has been resumed on the property. A new shaft is being sunk and steps being taken to add this property speedily to the producing column along with the America mines of the Central Cananea Duluth un- doubtedly has a fine ore body which it can produce heavily from when ever requirement is made Plans considered some time ago in connec- ton with it's being put in shape for permanent operation called for a large main delivery tunnel It is not known whether changes will be determined upon from this plan after little fur ther examination of the property or not, but it is considered safe to say that there will be definite conclusions and action upon final lines at no distant date.
 H. E. Larkin. of Fl Paso, is here to look the camp over in the interests of Texas people who desire investment in copper properties MT Larkin came to Cananea from visits to Cliff ton. Globe and Bisbee. Cananea, he states, gives greater evidences of ac- tivity and general prosperity than either of the northern camps, though at Globe there is much going on in the way of new development and large confidence is felt that the camp will develop a great amount of valua- ble new country in the next few years.

Progressing at the rate of about 100 feet per month the drift on the HOO is being hurried forward as rapidly as possible toward the point where the ore body was encountered on the 1000
 The drift should reach the ore zone within sixty days and the result of these operations is being awaited with great deal of interest by an army of small stockholders in this section as we'll as at Duluth The drift is now in ledge matter with occasional punches of ore. Two cross-cuts now being run from the HOO are in red 2orphry. In the shaft the pumps are now handling about three hundred gallons of water per minute, and it is the intention to commence the sink ing of the shaft to the 1900 level i'm mediateiy.

 B. N. Norton left last Sunday for Douglas and Fl Paso, following sev-
 
 local mining interests which he holds. MT. Norton has lately spent considera- ble time in the Fronteras district, -where interests he has acquired and business which has come to him have occasioned his opening of a branch engineering office in Douglas. Two cars of ore were loaded during the week and shipped from here to Fl Paso for the Chispas. These cars with others shipped from the city in less | than two months since shipments were commenced from here by the Pedracinni Go. had total value Of more than s100,000. During the same time the company has been shipping to the Sonora railroad by burro trail it's trains of several hundred animals be- ing kept busy.

He stated on departure that the outlook in Cananea dfstEict appeared better to him on the occasion of each visit and that he believed that with the ac- quirement of titles which will be in within the next few months the camp will witness the greatest activity which has ever prevailed among it's individual operators. Of news of the south quarter of the district, Mir. liar rington said he was advised of noth- ing further than continued promise of successful termination of work in progress, the country he visited look ing well and exhibiting only signs of encouraging character.

INTERESTING NEWS ITEMS.
 FROM CANANEA DISTRICT

' (From the Cananea Heraldl | in development of properties in the vicinity of Imuris which give promise of making important mines His headquarters are in Los Angeles, where he will go during the present
 week from his visit to his properties. Regarding the construction of the | new c. R. I. & P line from this city. to Imuris, MT Hazeltiue said while here that the road would undoubtedly
 be of much benefit to the country it trayerses as well as to Cananea. In the Imuris country are a number of properties extending much promise which the new road will directly ben eft and in doing so will increase the
 importance of Cananea as a mining center.
 At Cananea-Bisbee the week
 brought about developments which
 are to say the least very encouraging to expectations entertained of the
 making of mines by several companies operating in that quarter of the camp. In the No. shalt the good outlook which has obtained from the begin ming is now more favorable than ever In the crosscut from the first level of No shaft the ground has softened
 materially and the character of the
 rock indicates that the ore body is near. The crosscut is now in 15O feet. The station for the second lev el in this shaft has been cut at 255 feet and the crosscut from this sta
 tion is in about 25 feet The ground has better appearance than that in
 the upper working Tn the No. 2 shaft the second level station is being
 cut at 25O feet, from where a cross cut will be run to the vein which has been opened on the level at 16O feet. From the crosscut on the 130 level
 of No. shaft a raise has been started in the rich sulphides encountered there some time ago Two new pros pect shafts were started during the week by Manager Watson, one west of No. shaft and the other between 2 and 3 shafts. Considerable new road has been started to facilitate get ting over the property with heavy hauling. In the camp proper painters are at work on the houses and will much improve the general appearance of things
