 chemune.
 The Chemung has two main shafts No. 2 and 3. At present they are about a mile of drifts on the lode at the 100. 200 and 300-foot levels, ana one and one-half miles of drifts d; No. 3. It is estimated that 1000. 900 tons Of per cent concentrates, 27 by 100 feet, run better than per cent With depth it is looking bet ter. Some samples run as high as 20 per cent. At present they are drift ing on the 40O-foot level to cut the ore body about 200 feet from it. The other three levels are in ore. There are two distinct formations. a lime and a granite, with the ore between and the walls. are one-half mile apart.
 Denn.
 "The Denn is a three-compartment shaft, down 1900 feet, with two levels, the 1000 and 1100-foot, and about 200 feet on each. The 1000-foot is con
 ected with the American Saginaw The 1200-foot level on the Denn is about the same as the 100 to 200-foot levels on the Czar and Holbrook They have 1200-gallon mine pumps on the 1000-foot level and a sinking pump on the HOO. They intend in- stalling two large Prescott pumps on he 1l00-foot level. The pumps are now at the property. At the present the only work is at the 1100-foot lev el. The diamond drill here is down vertically about 200 feet There is considerable lime on the 1100-foot level with occasional stringers of ore The showing on the 1100-foot level is a considerable improvement over the
 900 and should the improvement continue in the next 300 feet. as com pared with that between the 1000 and 110O-foot levels, the Denn can be ranked as one of the big producers of this camp. Their surface equip ment consists of a compressor hoist, boilers and ore bins or chutes. suffi- cient to handle big tonnage daily,
 Shattuck.
 ''The Shattuck has a great proper ty and there is no reason why they should not be ale to produce 1000 tons monthly at fair cost. It is surprising why they are delaying the building of smelter as long as they have, even though a good percentage will have been saved in cost of con struction. The annual report, though 1t does not go into the details of the cost of production, etc, is such that the stockholders think they are en- titled to know, and shows that ouI lns the II months the company was pro ducing through the Copper Queen smelters the gross receipts were ST. 500,000. From reliable information received this was with an average production of about 360 tons monthly
 While the cosl of production was a trifle high, when the plant is work ing to fullest capacity and with their own shelter, the Shattuck will be in position to put copper on the mar. ket for around cents. With a smell ter they will nave one of the most complete properties in the district. Their shaft of three compartments is down 930 feet. In all they have five levels. with three and one-half miles of drifts. stopes and crosScrts. On the 500-foot level there is a 3007oot drift south. with some ore showing and the 300 drift northwest on the 500 level they hare about TOO feet of l drifting with several good ore bodies mostly oxides In the station on the 500 level there is a 50foot ore body. oxide. averaging about g per cent, but which has never been crosscut. At the 700-foot level some large ore bodies shipped From this level, but mostly from 800 At No. stope they have body 300 by 100 feet, av. eraging $ per cent oxide No 9 crosscut shows an ore body 80 feet long, sulphide, running per cent copper and about $7 ton gold and silver. This is one of the finest Aux. ing ore bodies in the camp. No. 6 stope shows ore 100 by 30, sulphidc. 6 and per cent. No has oxide ore. 15 by 20, running IS to 19 per cent. No. ' has black sulphide 60 feet of sulphide, 12 per cent, and as higa as 42 per cent copper aosay's have 15 per cent, 75 feet long, No. s has been taken from some of these stopes and drifts. On the S00-foot level No. 1 stope, l30 by I2o. per cent sulphide, one of the largest in the camp. No. ?, oxide, 900 by 100, about , per cent, intermediate stUpe, ( cent No. 3. 60 by 30, oxide. aver ages 6 to per cent. No. l crosscut on S00-foot level, 75 feet long average } per cent Main drift in nearly 400 feet. One body penetrated 6 feet, 1z to 15 per cent oxide.
 This drift is towards Roy claim. Besides these mentioned there are several smaller sulphide bodies and native copper, one drift penetrated 75 feet of native copper that will run very high percentage. On the 900-foot level they have a main drift 219 feet from the shaft, also No. crosscut 102 feet long southeast and No. 2, l12 feet north west Good ore is expected to be en- countered in the main drift on S00- foot level at the Roy claim. Their surface equipment Is first class, one 3 drill compressor. five 150 h. D. boil CTS, electric light plant, hoist round cable. This is the only one in Bisbee built by Allis Chalmer Co. There foot stroke IS by 4S capable of hoist ing 25O0 feet They have run as high as 19 drills, but now only 2. They have an aerial tramway for taking ore to the railway and bringing up water by gravity. capable of handling 1000 tons in 24 hours. At high as 450 tons have been handled over this in eight hours. They also have a saw mill Tor facing timber at the railway At the mines the ore bins will hold about 1000 tons. Everything Is ad- justed to the best possible adyan- age in regard to holding down cost. It is possible in time the Shattuck will be mining ore practically up to surface and 1t is hoped that in time satisfactory arrangements may be made to tunnel in, which would ne
