MINING NOTES
Pertaining to CIiftOn-MOrenci Dis
trict and Surrounding Camps.

Tom Norquay left this week for the
Carlisle mining district, where he will
spend some time working mining
claims belonging to himself and Bill
Spaw. They have already done con-
siderable work on the property and
contemplate making small shipments
in the near future.
The total output of the Arizona
Cooper company for the month of
July was 1920 tons of Bessemer cop
per. The above figures are slightly
under those of the previous month,
caused by numerous delays on account
of the installation of the new smelter
stack. The company had use of but
two furnaces and now there are three
connected. Before the middle of
August the fourth one will be con-
nected and the new construction
work completed. At present 4
small amount of hue dust can he
seen around the works and when the
new stack is finished it is predicted
that it will disappear entirely. Minor
delays may occur during August, but
it is more than pr"bab that a larger
output will be made than last month.
The Shannon Copper company out
putted its usual average last month,
the figures being 80 tons of Bessemer
copper. The plant and mines are OPP
Grating steadily and are in excellent
running order. The recent small in
crease in the price of copper has been
the cause of the company's stock ris-
ing 20 SO ~ per share. which should
be good news to hose who bought it
when it was low during the slump.
Should copper continue to rise in
price, the Shannon stock IS a good
buy at present prices, as the company
i in position to increase its output
upon short notice. 1t Is likely that
another furnace will be added during
this month. which will increase the
output for August.
Word has been received in Clifton
from the camp of the Amargosa
mining company, whose property is
located in Mexico. 1t will be remem-
bered that d tunnel was started on
one of the copper claims short time
ago, in which it is anticipar ed to
strike d big body of ore. Work has
been progressing nicely and the tun-
mel is now in d distance of 80 feet.
In this distance two well defined
Lodges of copper ore have been struck
and passed. The management of the
company does not expect to strike
the main ore Lody until the tunnel
has advanced 100 feet, at which point
100 feet depth will also he gained.
This work has not advanced as rapid
ly as was expected, but the remain
ing 40 feet will be completed within
a very short time, when there may be
some good news for the stockholders.
The com pany has several other cop
per claims with equally as good show
ing as the one on which the present
work is being done. If ore similar to
surface indications is struck in the
tunnel, the AmargoSa company will
be in a position to put in a small fur
mace and make matte, due to the
fact that it is self-huXing. The two
lodges passed in the first go feet are
surprises and may be valuable ad-
ditions to the main ore body. a large
number of Clifton people are inter-
eSted in the company and it is hoped
that the 100 foot mark will reveal all
that is expected of it.

After the company has been or

better athletic training, nor more
congenial than this military-the ar
mory may be had' in either OF two
ways, or perhaps by combination OF
both. There is now bill before the
national congress in Washington
which seems altogether likely to pass
before Congress adjourns on May -,
providing the necessary Appropriation
TO maintain three additional com
panies OF the militia of their state to
work in conjunction with the regular
army troops at Fort Stevens, the
coast artillery. If local company
will get in position there is no reason
why good slice of this appropriation
cannot be secured for Astoria.
There is moreover bill before the
people which will be voted one at the
Tune state election providing an ap-
oropriation Of 100000, $2S,OOO each
wear for four years, to build armories
throughout Oregon. This will in all
Likelihood will become law There
fore If the local company is ready it
NAV get a good portion OF this appro-
priation. Portland military people 40
not expect any Of these possible ap-
preparations because that city IS al
ready we'll provided with armories and
other military equipments.

pany. Those who wish to join should
be present at Monday nights meet

will become law.
