SHATTUCK WILL INCREASE LEAD
 SHIPMENTS
Monthly Report of Mine Su- perintendent Houle Shows That Property Is in a Most Excellent Condition.

The current Shattuck dividend calls for the disbursement of the usual s437.- 800. which will bring total disburse- ments per share on this issue up to $1450, or a total of $5.075.000 for the 350.O00 shares. The par value of the Shattuck shares is S10.
 In his report for the 26 days ending November 30th Superintendent Houle of Shattuck Arizona Copper Co. gives the total development work for the period as 1883 feet He says in part:
 "Ore shipments continue at the rate of 600 tons daily of copper ore and 50 tons of lead ore. We shall endeavor to increase lead shipments 50 tons per day during the month of December.
 The general conditions of the mine workings continue satisfactory. We continue to open up promising oxide ore territory on the 200-foot level in the Southwest Claim. The most inn portant development during the month was encountering the continuation of the 200 ore body in six crosscuts on the l00-foot level. The developments to date indicate an ore zone on the 100- foot level about 40 feet in width and approximately per cent copper ore.
 Development work being prosecut- ed in the Leo and Roy claims conti nues to open up promising looking ledge matter and leached areas. Furth- CT development work will probably open up commercial ore in these leached zones.
 "On the S0O-foot level the ore show ing encountered in crosscut F is semi oxidized pyrite. and is an important addition to our ore reserves. The new ore development gives promises of opening up good stOping territory on the 900-foot level in this section"

SILVER MARKET SWEPT
 CLEAR OF THE METAL; HIGHER PRICES SOON
Metal Authority in London Quoted as Infering that All of the Supplies of the White Metal Have Been Sold.

The silver market has been swept more clear of supplies and further advance in rates is predicted by Sa- muel Montagu X Co. of London. This increase in rates became unavoidable owing to continued strength of the China exchanges which led 10 pur- chase in America and also In London. Inquiries embraced mintage orders, or ders for general purposes. and for In- dian baZaars. The bearish view of the Indian baZaars had led to bearish selling in London, putting the market in strong technical position. which is, in view of statistical conditions. not without danger
 Conditions are now more sound than when the spectacular movement in May carried the quotation to high rec ords. During the intervening time the Chinese stock has been greatly re- duced. America has been relieved of certain accumulations she then held, and the Indian currency figures. not withstanding very large continuous purchases for the Indian hints. show a declining tendency. The silver mar ket has often lived up to it's reputa- ton of doing the unexpected. but the situation is such that further advances may be looked for before the close of the year. provided no new factor in tervenes.

OLD PECK DUMPS TO BE WORKED; IMMENSE
 SILVER VALUES HAD
Modern Methods Will Be Ap- piled to the Waste of Once Famous Producer in Yava- pal County.

PRESCOTT, Dec. 23.-One of the most interesting movements that has taken place in recent years is the re- viving of the famous old Peck silver mine, which again is in operation on a principle in which modern facili- ties in hands of practical people again brings this white metal bonanza of other days into the sphere of great possibilities.
 This property has been taken over by two experienced miners and min eralogists, Henry Braun and Louis Shrade. the main object in resuming being to treat the huge dumps which accumulated during the era of over a third of a century ago. Mine explora- tion is under headway. Success of reduction is evident, from the deter minations of months past. Oil ex- ploration also indicates d still further reserve assured, when developments, is given. Since a new reduction plant has been installed, test runs recently are satisfactory. was the report given yesterday by MT. Braun, who. since the transaction has been closed. is quite free to express himself as to the outlook being decidedly gratify- ing. Cyaniding is the method of re- covery of values, and his principle as tried out recently. shows returns from which success is assured.
 Mir Braun estimates that the old dumps carry over 250,000 tons of a grade which in this day of modern mining is a surprise. but when con trasted with the boom days of silver at over $1 an ounce. is not regarded as unusual from the lax operating methods when nothing in production but the high grade was considered. MT. Braun also imparted the informa- tion that the old dumps are sprinkled with rich chloride ore in small quan- titles from which the Peck in it's ear Her life of production astounded min ing men of the country as being with. out parallel as a silver mine, hun dreds of tons being marketed that ranged to as high as 29,000 ounces to the ton. Behind this movement is the rapidly advancing price of the white metal and the belief prevailing that the price has come back to stay.

MAGMA EX. BOWS FOR POPULAR
 FAVOR
Company Organized at Super for With Name of Magma Extension-Owns 7 Claims Near Famous Property.

SUPERIOR, Dec. 23.-Magma Elk , tension is the latest mining company to be organized in the Pioneer district now famous through the rich ore strike made a couple of months ago on the 1900 foot level Of the Magma mine. The property consists of about l35 acres, situated midway between the Magma and the old Silver King and being adjoined by the Magma Chief
 An interesting explanation of the name Extension" is had in the pc culiar formation of the ground owned by the newly formed company and ai- so that owned by the old Magma.
 The holdings of the Magma come to a narrow neck, near the location of the present surface workings. At the several levels of the mine drifts have been sent southwest. through this neck of ground in an effort to trace the vein of the mine southwest into the portion of the Magma ground which lies toward the mill and con centrator. So far all efforts have been of no avail. The ground has, appar- ently, faulted at this point and eXplo- rations have been friutless.
 On the assumption that the country has faulted and that the Magma vein has been deposited north along north and south line. the new com pany took for its name Magma EXten- sion.
 Some very excellent surface show ings are to be had on the property of the Extension. They comprise sever al Assure veins and development is expected to uncover some substantial ore bodies. Some development work has been prosecuted in the past and some good looking surface ore has been developed. Another feature of the property is its accessibility from the Silver King road which is now in good condition.
 J. J. Neary. James Weary, the latter being the superintendent of mines for the Magma for several years, and George A. Mauk. with the man who owned a part of the ground, consti- tute the officers and directors. It is understood that a promotion cam paign will shortly be started to raise funds with which to develop the prop erty.

SHAFT FOR O'FALION

KINGMAN, Ariz.. Dec. 23.-Sinking of a shaft on the old O'Fallon silver mine eleven miles from Kingman has been begun by A. w. Clapp and asso- ciates who have taken the property over under lease. Ore recently taken from the workings of the old mine ran as high as 360 ounces of silver to a ton. The ore taken from the upper workings in the old days was freight ed to the Colorado river and shipped by way of the Gulf of California to the Selby smelter at San Francisco.

MAKING BETTER HOMES

F. w. Coffin, of the Idaho Metal
Weather Strip company, of Pocatello.
is in town this week placing what ia
called weather strip in doors and
windows to keep cut cold and dust.
In this climate the cold is a problem
part OF the year and the dust is
problem the rest of the time, and
sometimes both. Windows and doors
do not always fit aerfeetly, in fact
very few of them fit so well that
you do not feel the chill when YOU
SIT near one, and it is due to the
leaking of the cold into the house all
around the edges. There is CORES
ponding leakage of Warm air out at
other doors and windows, according
to which way the wind blows, and
1t Keeps one shoveling coal to over
come this waste. Weather strip eff
tectually does it, aud by keeping out
the dust it saves a great deal OF
labor cleaning up the dust that blows
IN, and also saves the wear and tear
OF washing draperies and fabrics that
become filled with it.
An assuring feature about weather.

A disagreeable truth about the mat

thoughtfulness on the outside, void
Of the things that harmonic with 1t

doing that which seems to be need

general harmony. A person having
opportunity creates and preserves
what is in his thoughts and his heart,

with the fine touches of comfort and

Quillin's house, made with his own
hands, described in his letter. is
the expression of what has been in
his thoughts and his heart. And
when we say Mr.. Quillin we include
his good wife, for it is probably the
plan of both.
Mr.. Quillin built his house small,
but what he lacked in size he has
made. up very largely by the con-
veniences named. Mrs. Quillin has
more to work with, more convent
ences and tools, more comfort and
achievement made possible in one
small room than some people have
in a large house. Then there is the
saving of steps while doing the work;
the saving of taking care of greater

The majority of men living on
farms in this county have had a great
deal of idle time the past few weeks
and have more ahead. There is a
great difference in the amount of
living man does, merely waiting for
spring to come, with little to do, as
compared with the way man would
use his time II he were working out
a set of plans as described in Mr..
Quillin's letter. The day would not
be long enough, and he would work
all evening, or be reading up to see
how he could make his work more

the truth when he said The Repub-
lican is the paper that gets the news
and gets it right.
When asked regarding the com
fort of the settlers during the re-
cent SHOWS they said there were
several families who ran out of sup
plies, and that the special train sent
out by the Short Line on the fourth
to take hay and other supplies was
very much appreciated by the set,
tiers. The snow had fallen about
three feet deep, but it was drifted
SO that one had to climb mountains

and Mr.. l.. Davis were out one day

believed to have starved and frozen.

for breakfast. Mr. Kramlich went
out to his stable that morning and
found one sitting by the stable door
SO stupid that he picked it up by
the ears. Mr.. Willicke found one
in his chicken house and Immediately
| served rabbit to the chickens. Those
that were poisoned are not consider
ed dangerous to dogs or stock that
eat them, provided the entrails are
removed. The meat does not carry
the poison in form that effects the
animals eating it. To demonstrate
this matter, one of the government
experts took poisoned rabbit and
had some of it cooked for himself
and ate it. The settlers there have
used $3.50 worth of strychnine
poisoning hay for rabbits.
The winter wheat is in good condi
ton and settlers are hopeful of a
good crop. Messrs Kramlich and
Willicke have leased the BrowneII

have rs acres of winter wheat, and
are intending to put in the rest of
it to spring grain.
