MANAGER BENNIE MAKES
 ANNUAL REPORT 0F SHANNON CO

that warrants our statement tha there is a probability of an extended life to the Shannon mines which wa. heretofore doubted.
 Our costs of mining per ton were lower by cents than those of tne year previous, the saving being il lower cost of extraction. and cheaper mining timbers. This saving would have been greater, but we increased our miners wages in June, thus add ing to our labor bill We also had an additional expenditure of cents per ton on ore extracted in develop ments. Our total costs, therefore, were approximately the same as last year. During the coming year we do not anticipate there will be any material change in our costs. The only addi- tional extra expenditure contemplat- ed is for new office for engineers and superintendents, our present quarters being Overcrowded.
 There have been few changes in our blast furnaces plant, the plant was thoroughly oVerhauled, ana is now in frst-class condition. Our costs of smelling were materially re duced, due to the reduction in amount Of coke and fues used, and less cost of power.
 DuiIuS IuS COIIIS year eApSIi- ments in the use of basic, instead of acid-lined converters will be car ried out, and we anticipate mate rial reduction in our converting costs. These experiments will be undertak- en as soon as we install a new blow ing engine, which we consider now as essential.
 The costs of concentrating show a marked improvement over the previ- ous year. The supply of concentrar- ing ores is, however, very irregular in quantity, and our costs of operat- ing, therefore, are much higher than they otherwise would be. We hope to remedy these conditions during the coming year.
 The power plant, including pump ing, has been kept in first-class con dition. As stated elsewhere, we will install another converter blow ing engine during the coming year. Owing to lower freight rates and cheaper fuel oil, our costs for power were materially reduced.
 Experiments commenced last year leading to an attempt to solve the economic treatment of low grade, semi-oXidized ores, have been con tinued, with every. re-assurance that the problem will be solved. Several months time was wasted in our anxiety to rush these eXperiIn ents and we are not, therefore, much fur ther forward than we were last year. We can state positively that the pro- cess we are experimenting with is suc- cessful to the extent that it renders the major portion of the copper con tents soluble in water.

The annual report of the Shannon Copper company for the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 1912, shows net oper ating profits of $560,615. Adding other income of $2O,4OO and S15, ,732 profits earned by the Shannon Ari i for the year were $596, 73S "t~
 The balance sheet shows cash copper on hand and accounts re- ceivable Of S611,726 against which are current liabilities of $326,S34. The directors announce that the i fiscal year has been changed to cor { respond with the calendar year So that the next annual report will GOV CT the sixteen months ending Dec i 31, 1913.
 General manager Bennie in his re port says: Considerable above the average expenditures were entailed on exploration and development, H. 031 feet of work driven during the year. Of this 4600 feet of drifts were driven on the lower levels, 796 feet on the upper levels, 4700 feet on the intermediate levels, and SS0 feet on outside workings.
 Developm ents on the lower levels of the mine have been of very encouraging nature, and whilst at present, we are only mining 125 tons per day from these levels, we an ticipate doubling this output in the very near future.
 Developments on the outside claims will be continued during the coming year. Nothing of any consequence has been opened up from our previ- ous developments, but we consider there is still possibility of good ore being obtained in quantity from the Fl Paso and adjoining claims.
 Important new work to be com menced during the coming year will be an exploratory tunnel to be dri[ en from a point 9 feet above our ore bins in Chase Creek for a dis tance of 1900 feet, crosscutting our main ore formations at a depth of 800 feet vertically below our Carter level This tunnel was contemplated ten years ago, and whilst discussed at various times since then, it is only now that we consider ourselves warranted in recommending it as a iustifiable development scheme. Our past policy of confining devel- opment expenditures to searching for new ores instead of opening up known ore bodies has been continued during the year and as already stated, with gratifying results. espe- cially in our lower levels. In previ- o-s reports it was pointed out it would be a very expensive propOsi- ton for us to open ore reserves with. no advantage except that of ap- proXimately estimating the same.
 Geological conditions are better understood as each year passes, and it is this better understanding, added to results of recent developments

 Dividends are IncreasinJ.
 Oscar A. Turner, who omored the first successful mines at Ely, Nev. has turned to gold once more. He has practically closed a deal for the Leviathan, near Congress, which is one of the biggest low-grade gold propositions in the southwest.
 Big dividends are being paid by the copper mines and all the con- panies are increasing the produc- ton as rapidly as possible. A new shelter is being built at Clifton for the Arizona Copper Company and work will soon commence on the United Verde's new plant in the Verde Valley. The finishing touches are being given the American smelt- ing and Refining company's smelter at Hayden and the Ray Consolidated concentrator in the same camp is be- ing improved. The Arizona South western Copper company is installing a mill at Copperville, Mohave county. The Calumet & Arizona is building a new shelter at Douglas.
 Scores of mills are in operation throughout the state and more arc being installed. The Vulture and Gold Road companies are increasing their reduction facilities and the Tom Reed will do so shortly.
 Advices from the eastern market centers are that the demand for Arii- zona mining securities is brisk and growing. Wall street brokers and in vestors are taking much interest n Arizona properties. Arizona copper shares are regarded as stable and highly desirable securities.

had been supplied, the local market
 quieted down and some odd lots were offered under the current asking
 prices, but these odd lots appear tc have been absorbed now and the price is strong at 1 73-4 cents for electrolytic. The same figure might be quoted for next years deliveries on Lake, but spot Lake probably would command IT IS.
 In November and December last year there was a decrease of 45,000,- 900 pounds in the American stocks and a decrease of 6O,OOO.O00 in the worlds stocks. On account O. the production in the last two months of 1912 may not show so large a decrease, but it must be remem- bered that the effect of the Bingham and Ely labor strikes will be notice able in the statistics for these two this year.

CALUMET AND ARIZONA.
New Shelter May Re Completed Early
 Z: Next Year.

It is stated, that there is every req son for the belief that the new Cal umet & Arizona smelter will be com pleted early in the new year. When work was authorized last January it was contemplated that the work would take two years, but there is every expectation that it will he com pleted much sooner.
 Two important new ore finds arc reported from the Calumet & Arizona, one at the Junction and the other at the Oliver. The Junction is opening some of the richest and best deposits ever found in the Bisbee district and this property more than bears out the promises made for it at the time of the consolidation with the main Cal umet &, Arizona.
 In the 15nn 1evel Of the Oliver shaft an i'm nortant strike has been made but. it has not as vet been opened sufficiently to warrant any ba- sis for predictions relative to it's merit. except that the first assays showed high grade ore.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1912-11-29

More mines are active more men are employed in mining and the pro- duction of all metal is greater than ever before in the history of Arizona. There is not mining district in the state that is not active. New strikes are of almost daily occurrence and work on many new properties is be- ing started. Shutdowns, either tenn porarye or permanent, are no longer heard of.
 The present era of mining prosper ity surpasses that which preceded the slump of 1907: During 1906 and the early part of 1907 the mining indus itry in Arizona reached heights of prosperity never before attained. :. After the slump there was a period of quiesence that lasted up to the fall of 1910. It was about that time that the outlook began to inn prove perceptibly, Work was com menced on number of properties that had been idle since the panic. The smelters at the copper mines, like the Old Dominion, Arizona, Shannon, Copper Queen and Calumet and Arizona, and United Verde be- gan to turn out bullion to their full capacity. The. curtailment of cop of the past. Copper was steadily climbing higher in price.
 Silver Also Rises.
 Now copper has been high for more than a year, silver is higher than it has been for years, and the market for gold is never diminished All this is now having it's effect up- on mining investments and mining activities in Arizona.
 Mining brokers in this state are having trouble in securing the kind of properties that their clients de mand. Big eastern syndicates, like the Guggenheims and the United States Steel Corporation, are con- stantly on the lookout for developed mines Capitalists usually refuse to ta.c hold of anything that iS still prospect, but at this time they are ready and eager to purchase anything that has a visible ore supply
 The Vulture, Tom Reed and Gold Road mines arc the principal .nld

IMAM l.
Output in 1913 Should Approximate
 3,5OO,oCO Pounds Month.

A director of the Miami Copper company is quoted as saying: The Miami mill has been treating 5000 tons of ore daily and obtaining a production of close to 3,OOO,OO0 pounds of copper monthly. The bet terments that are taking place at the plant should result in an output early in 1913 approXimating 3,500,0G0 rounds per month. This will be eff fected by higher extraction from ore treated.
 '''The result of diamond drill work has been most encouraging and the new developments will no doubt greatly increase the life of the prop erty beyond the 20 years already in sight at present rate of extraction
