TWIN BUTTES CO.
 REGULAR SHIPPER
EIGHT CARS A WEEK GOING TO FL PAso-oRE IS HIGH GRADE FIRST CAR FROM ANDERSON
 APACHE RECEIVED AT DOUGLAS

Twin Buttes ore shipments now total eight carloads each week. The ore is sent to the Fl Paso smelters.
 The weekly shipments now made arc more than double those of some months past. It is stated that fine ore is be ing found in the mine and that it is of sufficient richness to pay we'll even with the comparatively low price of copper.
 Work is being continued on the 300 and the 400 foot levels in the mine and big pumps are being installed to take care of the water on the 800 foot level. Drifting is being steadily continued on the lower levels and toward the main | orc body.
 Superintendent McDermott of the Twin Buttes is at present on business trip to Montana and in his absence Foreman Mike Durrick is in charge of the operations at the mines. Repairs have been made to the Twin Buttes roadbed, which was damaged by floods following the recent heavy rains and the track is in good shape again.
 Anderson-Apache Shipping.
 The first ear from the Anderson. Apache which was shipped into Douglas last week proved better than was ex- /pected by the company, the average be- ing better than 10 per cent copper. What made this ore particularly attrae- tive is that the bi.products met the expense giving the copper clear.
 The company expects to ship another ear this week and will do so from now on. averaging one ear daily. Twenty six men are now employed at the mines and an additional force will be added soon.
 Arthur Houle, engineer of the com pany, has left for the east in its in terest and will spend the next thirty days in Chicago and other points.
 Jerome's New Shelter.
 Jerome will have another shelter running by September |. according to the statement of c. w. Hull, president of the Hull Copper company.
 Mir Hull said: "I expect to have the Hull Copper Company's shelter in op- eration on ores from the Cleopatra mine the first of next month. The shelter tracks and other machinery are now being placed in shape to start the plant. Four hundred tons of ore are already on the dump ready for ueat- ment.'
 Mohave County Mines.
 Fred Stull came in from Chloride Thursday last and departed to Needles, where he is having a forty-ton car of ore from the Lucky Boy mine sampled. The ore is said to be very rich in gold and silver.
 Splendid ore bodies are being opened up in the Goldroad mines. On the 300 level of the Goldroad mine the ore body has been found to be as large as on any of the other levels, although it was not until recently that this dis covery was made, the belief being gen eral that no ore existed east of the shaft on that level.
 Work on the big shaft of the Golden Gem mine, at Cerbat, is nearing compile tion and it is expected that the collar set will be put in sometime next week. The widening of the shaft has been car ried up through 330 feet of hard ground inside of two months. As soon as the collar set is in and the new machinery | in place, sinking below the 400 level will be commenced. The mine is one of the best properties in the county and the company is sure to make sue cess.
