POSITIVE DENIAL

In this weeks issue of the
Mining Journal appears an edi-
tor1al headed: ''Will Shannon
Ever Reopen. The article
proceeds to speculate on the prob
able future operations of the
Shannon Company, and ad-
vances the idea that the Shan
non Company will eventually
come under the control of the
Phelps-Dodge Company or the
Arizona Copper Co. Ltd. In last
weeks Copper Era this paper
printed an interview with Cen
eral Manager Bennie regarding
the temporary shut down by the
Shannon. In that interview Mr..
Bennie expressed his opinion
that the Shannon Company would
resume operations probably be-
tween January 1 and April 1, 1915.
In an interview given the Era on
Friday of this week Mr.. Bennie
stated for publication that there
was no foundation whatever for
the conjecture, as expressed in
the editorial in the Mining Journal
this week, that the Shannon COM
pany would be taken over by the
1'helps Dodge interests, The A. C..
o. Ltd. or any other corporation.
Mr.. Bennie stated that such a pro-
posal had never been considered
in any manner shape or form by
the Shannon company and that
just as soon as the copper market
reyives the Shannon Copper Com
pany will be doing business again
at the old stand and under its
present organization.

THREE r NINE CLOSES

With the closing down of the
Three mine this week and tbe
moving Of the store at that place,
which supplied the families of over
one hundred workmen, back to
Patagonia, the biggest single enter
prise In Santa Cruz County comes to
a sudden termination. The property
mas been abandoned by the Boston
capitalists and reverts back to the
original owners. Probably the Euro
pean war had something to do with
tne shut down. but the chances are
the recent decision of a Santa Cruz
county court awarding the Heneys
an interest in the property. after
their interest had been bought and
paid for long before the mine had
proved Its worth, was the real cause
OF putting Patagonia's one best bet
