STRIKE IS CONFIRMED Assay of Sulphide Bcdy Cut Over Five Per Cent.
 Copper DISCOVERY MAY MEAN
 A SHATTUCK SHELTER

The news of the strike of body of sulphide ore at tIe end of 65- foot drift on the 1900 level of the Denn. as reported in the Review yes terday morning. has brought gladness to the hearts of the stock holders who believe that the ore body wnich has been sought by earnest develop ment has at last been reached. The strike came a little sooner than had been expected from general indica- tions in this particuia. working. al toough the native copper which was found last week was considered strong indication of the near pres ence of a large copper sulphide ore body. The several recent strikes of native copper had already caused a sharp rise in Denn stock and the news of the strike on Monday tended to still further accelerate this advance.
 Yesterday afternoon a Review re porter saw one of the men who are prominent in Denn affairs and who had just come from the new strike.
 He stated that an assay had been made and that it returned 5.2 per cent copper. He declared that the work of developing this snlphide ore body had been started yesterday and would be pushed but that considerable time would be required to determine the extinct of the body. These sulphides are found in a fault and when this fault was encountered 150 feet higher up in the workings indications were present that pointed to good sulpii- idle body when depth was obtained. It was to again cut this fault on the 1900 level that the drift was made in which the ore was encountered.
 The strike in the Denn Is not O: interest to Denn stockholders alone for it may have a decided influence upon the construction Of Shattuck shelter. which has long been talked of. It was said yesterday that one of the causes for delay in building a Shattuck reduction works had been the Denn, as the Shatuck people were anious to know what might be eS- pected from the Denn property lr,- fore starting the building of the smelting plant.
 It was at one time reported that there was discord in the Shattuck ou the shelter proposition, a site for which was several times rumored as having been selected near the other two smelters at Douglas, but later develments have disproved the rum OTIS of discord. which were then strongly denied. IL is authoritatively stated that Shattuck is awaiting the result of certain experiments which are now going on in the north and which. if successful. will reduce the cost of the erection of a reduction plant here by fully 50 per cent This and not discord Is the reason assign ed by those who should know. for the delay in shelter building. It was stated. however. that Denn develop ments also cut an important part iu the smelter building plans.
 Shattuck is now in good ore on The 600 foot level and is proceeding quiet ly with developing it. When sufficient ore Is acquired in this development work it is shipped to the Copper Queen works in Douglas.
 Thus if the experiments succeed in the north and the development of the Denn proceeds according to present indications Shattuck may be expected to build in the near future. especial ly as the success of the experiments mentioned should be determined by fall or asarly winter
