Bisbee daily review., 1917-01-28

progressed during the year. although nothing spectacular has occurred The mine is producing copper, lead. silver and gold. The value of the gold. silver and lead is charged against the cost of making copper. and with this large item thus employed. the cost of mak- ing Shattuck copper is reduced to around cents per pound.
 There is a large amount of vanadi- um to be extracted from the mines of the Administrations when the com pany has completed tests on the pro- duction of ferro vanadate. This min eral alone has been estimated to rep resent in value the entire capitaliza- tion of the Shattuck-Arizona Copper company.
 The Shattuck mine is good for many years. as the greater part of it's terri tory is yet unexplored. It has always been characterized by good manage ment although some impatient people have criticized it for not producing and selling copper when the metal was very low. Although the Shattuck- Arizona could easily have earned fair dividends at dull periods by drawing upon it's large high grade reserves. and have made money even at 12 cent copper, time has proven that it was wisdom to conserve the mineral.
 The Shattuck company has probab- ly obtained higher average price for it's copper than any other copper mine in the country.
 United Verde Copper Company
 A feature of the work of the past year of the United Verde Copper com pany has been the blowing in to full capacity of it's new and up to date shelter at Clarkdale and the compls- tion of the model town of CIarkdale.
 A noteworthy change in the opera ton of the United Verde came with the announcement of the resignation of Will l.. Clark. who has been con nected with the organization Of Sena- tor Clark since 1SS9 Mir Clark re- signed to devote his time tO his pr.. vate interests. and he is succeeded 1t the United Verde by Robert F.. Tally who has been mine superintendent fer eight years.
 Recently plans were outlined for greater development Of the United Verde to include the use Of stean shovels in stripping the surface ore bodies in the vicinity of the old sme!- ter. These plans involve the remOv- ing of So to loo feet of over-burden making it practicable to mine this ore from the surface down instead of by underground operations adjacent to and within the fire area.
 The United Verde has been and will continue to be for many years to cone one of the largest and richest of the mines of the stHte.
 New Cornelia Mining Company
 Although it was not planned to have the new teaching plant of the New Cornelia Copper company ready for operation before July 1 of 1917. it is going to beat this time by several months. for the construction of the new 5o0-ton teaching plant is 90 per cent finished. The first steam shovel OsEood type. with a four-yard dipper. is on the ground, and the grading be- tween the mine and mill will soon be complete.
 The coarse crusher building con taining the No 2i gyratory crusher. IS O. of work remains on the four No $ gyratories. Practically all of the concrete work at the teaching plant is finished. most of the tanks lead lined. and the wooden protection put in place At the town of Ajo new city is taking shape and many new houses are being built.
