The Shattuck mines will close down today. Notification that the mines would close down was re ceived in a letter to MT. Shattuck Tuesday and the work of closing op- eratiOns was begun Wednesday morn ing.
 It is likely that activity at the mines will come to a halt today and except for the shipping of ore al ready on hand there will be nothing doing. The last of the ore on hand will probably have been shipped by next Monday
 The closing of the mines will af- feet about 150 men, that number being on the company's payroll. IL is probable, however. that this mum Der of men may be taken care of at the other mines of the district. It is said about 20 will be retained at the Shattuck property to look after the mines.
 The reason for the cessation of work at the Shattuck, according to company official, is that the stockholders and officers do not feel that the present condition of The copper market justifes them in con tinuing operations. The ore taken from the Shattuck is said to be of a high grade and that it is not good business to mine it at the present price, around 121ac.

in going over lines for the Blodgetts,
