Bisbee daily review., 1918-02-24

report that a merger had been ar ranged. is the fact that there is aa local knowledge Of any such steps having been taken L. C. Shattucf, treasurer of Denn, as he is also trea- surer of Shattuck. is not advised of merger steps. The St. Paul report con- veyed further wrong statement in the announcement that Denn Stockhcld- CTS had held a meeting in Duluth on Tuesday. Denn's stockholders will as a matter of fact have their regular annual meeting in this city next month In the meantime there mas been no call for Q meeting of Denn stockholders. either regular or spe- cisl. and there has been no meeting of the directors of the company. u is the fairest kind of a bet that there will be no merger of Denn and Shat tuck at this time or later. Both are very able to go on indepenC ently on their own resources and to the entire satisfaction Of their stockholders. Shattuck has over a million tons of lead-silver ore to engage it's attention immediately in addition to its copper resources In preparing the lead silver bodies for profitable extraction, good deal Of attention has bse1 centered for some time The wOrk - considered admirably advanced. Meantime on the surface at Denn the construction os the Shattuck mill to handle its lead-silver ore has been gO- ing on speedily. The mill buildings are all up and practically finished The foundations are in for all ma chinery and some of the latter las been placed Most Of the rest would now be in were it here, but II has been delayed in transportation Andy Engle. who has had charge of the erection of the plant, has carried o'It splendid job in very remarkable time. particularly so in view of the delay which has attended the delivery of all materials the last several months in every part Of the country. The delay now being occasiOned 6y the slowness in arrival of equipment however, is by no means all lost tine. for there is much being done in so- ing over work and adjusting things that it will not be necessary 10 stve attention to after starting up the plant as is generally the case.
 Shsktuck to Be Busy.
 Shattuck when it gets its mill sO- ing will be very busy with lead-silver ore and in this field will make good profit for its shareholders. It has been figured that there is S4 the ton clear profit in the lesd-silver for the
 operators. With whatever advance occurs in the price of silver. and the time seems most oppOrtune to antici-
 pate silver advance. Shattuck Will profit just that much more In this connection it is not amiss to say that Shattuck may be of very much as sistance to Copper Queen in the handl- ing of its lead-silver, Shattuck point ing the way to much in the treatment of this ore that has not been of previ- ous practice but tests of which have demonstrated entire success
 Ore at the Boreas-
 Another important ore development of the last week has been at the Bor- eas. where the leasers have gone 10
 such length that there is no longer
 doubt of their having a very sa;is- factory shipping proposition and one which may make it as considera/s a | discovery of importance in the pro
 viding up of new area as did tae
 White Tail Deer. The Boreas has been shipping regularly recently and
 is demonstrating that the White Tail Deer ore zone has much more scope than a good many were willing to | concede at an earlier time.
