| duced by the Calumet & Arizona com
pany.
| Extensive high grade ore bodies
have been opened up in various por-
lions of the Superior & Pittsburg
property, and have proved beyond
reasonable doubt, that in the not far
distant future this company will rank
well up in the class of producers,
and probably be successful in a dis
| Bute with the Calumet & Arizona for
| second position. The ore bodies
/ which have been opened up have
been in widely separated portions OF
the property, indicating that there is
an immense mineral bearing zone
which has not yet been touched.
Very little trouble is being expert
| enced with the water flow, the pumps
at the Junction serving to take care
] of practically all of it.

! The detailed reports Of what was
done at the meeting of the directors
/ Of the ShattuckAriZOna and Denmark
IONA companies at Duluth on Febru-
! airy. 10, which reached the district
during the past week, have further
+! in creased the confidence of the To-
cal stockholders in the future of
! these corporations.
That smelter will be constructed,
| and that the work will be commenced
within the shortest possible space of
! time has been definitely decided.
! The reduction plant will have I ca
! pacity of 500 tons of ore daily from
1.-The first viii reconstructed
I that additions can easily De made
from time to time as the outnut Of
! the mines demand them. This means
| to the Warren district the employ
mant of larger NUMBER q miners
on the property than ever before IL
its history. and for the city Of Doug
| las big addition II its Industrial life,
with its consequent increased pUpu-
lation and pay ron. II is estimated
! by men we'll acquainted with the
| Shattuck property that 1000 men will
! be employed there as soon as copper
! reaches reasonable price, as extern
/ sive high grade ore bodies nave al
ready been encountered and blocked
out, awaiting shipment to the r2duc-
| ton works.
1t was also decided at the meeting
to retain B. NJ. Pattison, as manager
OF the Denn-ArizOna company, AID l..
! c. Shattuck was selected fOr the
management of the Shattuck. On ac-
count of the growing importance Of
! the two properties it seemed best to
have a manager for each. The news
that Pattison was still 10 be in
charge OF the operations Of tie DEM
proved to be very popular to tho 10
cal stockholders, because Of tie en-
viable recocd he established in the
! development of both the Shattuck
and DEM properties since the time
work was started on eae.i. Uuder
Pattison's direction the Shattuck
mine was proved in a shorter time
and more economically than, any 9TH
er mine in the district, and Nsha his
tory Of work at the DEM has been
| the same.

the United Arizona Copper company,
Ltd. but is bonded to the Casa
Grande Development company for
two and a half years II comprises
forty claims, and was worked as far
back as fifteen years ago. but during
the past six years was idle, until the
local capitalists secured the bond and
resumed development few months

The shaft is now down 600 feet,
and drifts are being run on the 400.
500. and 600 levels. In two Of these
workings copper ore running Il per
cent and carrying considerable silver
has been encountered and several
shipments have been made to the
smeIters at e. PasO. At the present
time there are 100 tons of ore on the
dump awaiting shipment The silver
contained in the ores practically pays
the smelter costs.
| Although situated 80 miles from the
nearest railroad point the Casa
Grande is worked without any serious
disadvantage. because of the fact
