CLIFTON SHELTERS REPORT INCREASE
 IN PRODUCTION
There is a Noticeable Increase in the Activity of the Entire District Shannon Marks Up Total of 700 Tons For Month of
 August.

The mining industry of this district is advancing with the usual material strides of progress. It is not an eX- travagant statement, which is ire quently made by all who have observ- ed the activity of this section, that TO other mining district throughout the state of Arizona, has proven more sub- stantial and permanent. It is an old saying that we always know where to find the producing mining properties of Greenlee County.
 It is certainly source dissatisfaction to see the army of employees pass ing to and fro to their daily work three hundred and siXty-five days in i the year and all moving with the gen eral knowledge that work is perrnan- ent. There are no up and down fur ries and disposition of unrest aris- ing from an uncertainty of the spas modic mining camp here, but there is the absolute certainty, which is al ways prevalant in a proven camp. The mining and smelling here is proven and lends a general contentment to the laborer and business man alike. During the past week reports come in from the mines that in addition to the output of ore there and tie eXplo- itation of new territory aug ments the future output and adds to the permanency of the mining fields. There is the same work continuing at the new shelter plants which are in course of construction for the purpose of taking care of large production Of ore which will be mined for years to come insuring the employment of large numbers and the outlay of eX- tenSive capital.
 Just now Clifton and vicinity is enjoying a special period of industrial progress. The construction work which is in progress has brought many new faces into the camp, men of high mechanical attainments who stand to the very top of their trade, to swell the pay roll and to put new money into circulation. The merchant as well as the laborer is already en- oying the benefits and a new, bright CT business era is in our midst. Two years is estimated to complete the construction work which has been mapped out by the companies at the expiration of which time the district will be upon a more substantial foot ing than ever in the history of it's building.
 As an earnest of the recent growth by the advent of new families into the community, houses are at premium and not few have been inquiring in vain and deem themselves fortunate to secure a single room.
 The output of the A. c. Co.,, smell ters for the month of August totaled ,630 tons. This was an increase of i 30 tons over the month of July. An average of 1,600 tons will be the out put of the A. C. Co., until the new i shelter is completed next year when i this production will be materially in- creased at a reduced cost.
 1 The output of the Shannon con- pany for August was TOO tons, an il- crease over the month of July by
 reason of the blowing in of an addi- tional furnace about the middle of the month.
 Good reports continue to come form the Twin Peaks Company where an other rich strike was made during the past three weeks. Work of in stalling the mill is going forward without interruption. With the con- tinued progress of the development
 work it is becoming more apparent that Twin Peaks is destined to make
 good.
 It is reported that Mr.Bcwnan, who has been in Clifton during the past few weeks, has purchased from Mrs. Pitt group of claims upon which de- velopment work will be started in the near future.
