A blind lead of copper ore yield
ing a commercial grade of sulphide
has been struck On the Merritt claim
Of the Keystone group, by drilling
through a surface of clay and lime
stone. There were NO sbrf ihdi-
cations Whatever Of ore; which goes
to prove once more that the location
of ore is not indicated at the surface
in all cases
In the Celtic group sulphide ore has
been taken from the surface which
with depth attains commercial value.
At this point there is a 300-fu0t flow
ef granite Gaping quartz porphyry
which extends downward several
hundred feet, all of which is more or
less mineralised.
On the Wedge claim samples of
copper glance that will average
around 80 per cent. has beeh found.
A thnhel viii be run to cut this out
crop at depth of $50 feet.
About eighteen or twenty new
claims have recently been located in
Silver Basin, Southwest of Morenai,
owing to promising surface indica-
tions.
The Shannon output for April was
$50 tons, average price 1913 cents,
making total of about S165, 700.
The April production of the Ari-
IONA Copper company was ITO tons.
March Was the biggest of the past
seven months, with pr6duction of
1443 tons. The total output for the
seven months from October first to
May first was 9,273 tons. This
amount at 12t cents equals 81, 318, 25O
President Amster CT the Shannon
is quoted as follows, III an interview
after his return east from visit to
the properties:
cat Shannon L was greatly pleased.
At the expense of using a hackneyed
phrase, [ am sincere when 1 state
that Shannon is today a larger and
richer property than at any previous
II ne, and by the introduction of ad-
ditional economies here and there we
are in shape to make pound of cop
per at lower cost than ever before.
eve are not touching our high
grade ore bodies in the bottom of the
mine, but we shall soon be mining
them. We have made some new
freighting arrangements which will
be very important factor in reduc-
ing our transportation costs both as
respects our ore and the supplies and
other material which are being ship
ped into the camp"

The Name Cuba.

Cuba is the name by which the Is
land was originally known TO the Lu-
cayan Indians. who were with Column
bus when he discovered it. One of its
villages or cities was called by them
Cubanacan. and it is reported that
from the similarity of sounds Colum-
bus. still supposing himself to be on
the coast of Asia. imagined that this
must be a city of Kublai Khan. the
Tartar sovereign celebrated by Marco
Polo. The survival of the original
name for Cuba is a remarkable in
stance of persistence. as the island has
been baptized and rebaptized many
times since its European discovery.
Columbus first called it Juana in honor
of Prince John, the sou of Ferdinand
and Isabella. After Ferdinand's death
it was called in his memory Fernan-
dina. Subsequently this name was
changed to Santiago, after st. James.
the patron saint of Spain. Still later
