Dull Period in Copper Gives Warren Mines Opportunity for Line of Work That Has Really Been Needed

The local mining situation is prac- ticaliy unchanged since last week in spite of the fact that the quoted price of copper was reported to have fallen to a fraction over 13 cents. In fact, judging from the policy adopted by ! the big operating companies it looks livery much as If the depression in the
 parket has afforded a very good op-
 prtunity for prospecting and the work
 z5k,asveloping ore bodies which were negleAted temporarily, while the price of the tmetal was booming. Although everyorle seems to agree that the price of copper will eventually ps stable at about IS cents. there is a difference of opinion in regard to the length of time that will be necessary to bring about the result. While some are of the opinion that it will take perhaps six months others be- lieve that sixty days will see the question settled.
 The Copper Queen Company is still following the plan of making ready for the changing of its system of hoisL ing and loading ores, as well as di- recting a great deal of energy to pros pecting and development work. On the surface workmen are engaged On the construction of the new power house near the Sacramento shaft, the work being pushed rapidly forward.
 At tte Calumet & Arizona and Sup erior e1 Pittsburg properties matters have been about the same as during last week The management of both of these companies has also adopted the policy of prospecting and deyel- o2ing. without giving any particular attention to the increasing of ore shipments. Considering that the Sun- days in each month are not working days shipments to the smelters at Douglas have been maintained at about the same amount as formerly.
 The Shattuck-Arizona is still ship. ping it's sulphide ores to Globe, aver aging about 200 tons daily. The new ore body which was opened up a week ago on the 600 level is proving to be rather extensive and is high grade. All of the new surface equip ment sin running order and giving the highest satisfaction. There is no doubt that the Shattuck equipment, which is practically all new. is not only as complete but as fine as can be found anywhere.
 The shaft men got to work at the Deun early in the week putting down the pump. and the work of cutting the station is now being pushed for ward. Since the work of repairing the sucker pumps was completed prac- ticalIy no trouble has been experienc- ed with the waser flow.
 Work at the Wolverine is being prosecuted vigorously, the manage ment directing every effort towards opening up the extensive ore body discovered few weeks ago. The in cline on the ore has been pushed for ward as well as in the raise on the foot wall. both of which still show in solid ore running better than 10 per cent No arrangements have yet been made for the shipment of the ore taken out, and no effort IS being made necessary in the c0TEse of driving the incline and raise.
 In the western end of the district activity was resumed at the North Bisbee Development ground. The shaft is now down s9xty-fiye feet and 1t is the intention of the management 60 sink another compartments fact the work has already been commenced. In the compartment east of the old one the granite formation became charged with sulphur and small par ticles of peacock copper. The granite is decomposed. also showing iron It is the expectation of he management that the shaft will be in ere within t<e next thirty feet, judging from the dip Of the ore discovered some time ago.
