LABOR SUPPLY IN DIS TRICT MAY EXCEED DE-
 MAND BY COMING OF MEN FROM UTAH AND NEVADA TRO UBLED DISTRICT

1t is reported that many men have left Bingham and Ely, but as yet these have not made their appear. ance in this camp. If the strike is prolonged, as there is reason to an ticipate that it will be the usual win ter influx of workmen to this dis trict will be greatly increased and the labor market is likely, under these circumstances to be over sup. piled. Thus far there has been no indication of this, although quite a number of miners have come here from other districts, attracted by the wages and hours that prevail here, and have readily obtained positions on their arrival Generally men can obtain work without difficulty, but there are some in the camp who de- sire to pick the shafts in which they will work and that gives the appear ance of idle men in some places. In general, however. it may be said that there are more men employed than usually at this time of the year and more demand exists for competent miners than has been noticeable for several years.
 Better Air Conditions.
 Production,a n,adevelopment and ex- ploration are not the only matters that are receiving the attention of the Copper Queen company at it's Bisbes mines. Bctterment of work ing conditions for the men under ground is also being given considera- tion and it may be expected that some Of the plans of the company in this respect will soon be learned.
 It is learned that the Copper Queen company has had for some time and now has an expert on vea- tilatiOn of mines here studying To- cal conditions and preparing plans for better ventilation system than now prevails. It was in connection with such plans that two air shafts are being sunk and it is said that the further plans will entail the in- stallation of much massive machin- cry. It is understood that in some respects the plans being formulated are based on methods employed in some of the best ventilated coal mines of the east. It is intended that when the system is worked out the Copper Queen mines shall be the best in air conditions of any to be found in the country.
 Shipments About November |
 It Is learned that before the end or the present month the increased force required to take out and shin 200 tons of ore per day from the Shat. tuck mine to the C. and A. smeiter Will be put to work and regular shin ments are expected to begin by No yember l. The Shattuck could pre. pare for and begin shipments sooner than this but before operations are begun under the new contract it is necessary for the C. and A. company to complete sampling works. These are now under construction and are expected to be completed in the course of the present month and the Douglas smelter will be able to handle the ore from this property.
 Local Stockholders interested
 There has been more local inter- est shown in the stock market for the past week than in a long time previous for there are numerous holders Of Shattuck here and there were would be investors who only awaited the word that the company would be an active producer before purchasing some of the shares of the company for investment When the stock reached 90 there were some local sales but more purchasers. There is a sentiment among some of the small holders to await 40 as a selling price and the advance to 90 was not sufficient to cause them 70 unload. The larger holders are well satisfied to hold for investment and are not disposing of any of their holdings or contemplating so doing.
 Enables increased Output.
 That the receipt of POO tons of oxide ore by the C. and A. company will enable it to handle larger pro duction of oxide ores from it's own properties has been manifest to all but as to what quantity of such ore might me thereby utilized there has
