May Show Mineral
 COchise shaft from now on will claim much interest. It is getting down to where the outsiders expect they may any day wander to the dump and pick up evidences of another big mineralized zone being opened in the district. Its bearing may be very i'm portant for a considerable outlying territory. It may open up zone that will vie with the best yet developed in the district. There are many who believe that it will. Asked to bet acquainted with the district would turn down the proposition with the same manner of feeling that he would exhibit in the presence of an old fashioned shell game. They all be lieve the ore is there, and there in great plenty.
 On the Sacramento Hill work of Copper Queen the progress being made is probably not quite up to ex- pectations. Greater difficulties than apparent in the beginning always ac- company this manner of development. Tn the case of the Sacramento Hill there is reward Outweighnig such ex- cess difficulties in handling the forma- ton as have been encountered. this reward existing in the opening of ore lifting the average above the figures originally entertained, as gathered from the drill holes. As much, at least. is the intimatlon gathered from various sources of information. This work. it may be added, is the most expensive piece of preparatory enter prise in progress in the southwest at the present time. Some several mil lion dollars will go into it before returns will commence to make much of an impression. With the aid of a vast amount of mechan.cai equipment and the application of some new and very advanced metallurgical ideas, the enterprise will be made 10 pay a fair return, barring the unforeseen, whcih is always a risk that the mining in than any other.
 Shattuck Report
 A significant statement appearing in the annual report of the ShattucS Arizona Copper company is the fol- lowing:
 We confidently anticipate securing some attractive new ground in an ore bearing district in the near future for our company, it being the firm inten- ton to perpetuate the name and carry on the work of the Shattuck with un- abated energy and the same integrity that has characterized its past"
 In what district the Shattuck may be interesting itself in additional hold l. L. r- 1-~.~ ur several of it's officers and engineers have in recent months paid visits to the Verde district. but these visits have on the surface appeared to be merely in conformity with the routine of keeping posted as to various min ing practices followed in the state.
 New Shannon Mine
 The Shannon Copper company ac- Quirement of the Yeager Canyon prop erty in proximity to Jerome recently, however. has led those who watch mining affairs to suspect that Shat tuck is also looking Jer0mewards. as did the Calumet and Arizona organiZa- tiOn when it picked up the Gadsden for a prospecting campaign a year ago
 Coupled with the ShannOn's expan- sion. the Shattuck announcement of expectation to likewise pick up new country presents a great deal of en- couragement in. the early part of the year for belief that the larger operat- ing companies of the state will pick Up the burden of development which many smaller operators have been obliged to retire from because of frightened money conditions through out the country and the high cost of all materials and of labor. These con ditiOns are not in the way of any early improvement. closer times and higher costs. on the other hand. being practically certain. In such case, only the means and inclination of the larger producers to keep development going and the mineral resources of the state expanding stand between se- riOus depletion of resources under wartime pressure and the mainte- nance of development that is badly needed to protect the industry from temporary collapse at the end of the war period, if not before.
 Mexicans lncensed
 A good deal of resentment has re- sentiment has recently developed among Mexican residents of the better class in this and the MOrenci districts because of renewed efforts on the part of pro-German Mexicans to advance their ideas on this side of the line. That there has been such work going on here and elsewhere in Arizona since long before the declaration of war is well known. but for some req son has not been the subject of more than occasional comment except among Mexicans.
 It is now indicated that comment will take a much broader form and that patriotic Mexican residents of the southwest will be enlisted in an az gressive movement against those who lack of loyalty to the country in which hey are. Many Of the Mexican resi- dents of this part of the state are citizens. and it is said a good many more are eligible for citizenship pa pers. which is also declared to be true throughout the southwest
 Should the loyal MeXicans in the country be brought together and plain ly announce their purpose of stand ing by the government. there is no doubt but that they would be able to bring a great change in the public attitude toward them and greatly ben
