GIANT STEAM SHOVFLS BITE SWIFTLY
 INTO SACRAMENTO HILL; TREMENDOUS
 ENGINEERING FEAT IN FULL SWING
Month of April Sets Record for Leveng Mountan Over 500 Men Engaged in Task; Superintendent Notman
 Gives Interesting Warren District News.

Sacramento Hill is gradually being devOured by the steady pressure oi men and steam shovels Last month a record was set in removing the mountain. Arthur Notman, superin. tendent of the Phelps Dodge Mines announces that during the month oi April 175,000 square yards were re moved from the hill which thus far exceeds all previous marks.
 The reducing of Sacramento Hill is an engineering feat difficult for the mind to grasp without enlightenment of few of the figures incidental to its reduction Each day more than one hundred train loads of dirt and rock are hauled away to a dump near which a big concentrator is being erected in Warren. To accomplish this work more than 500 men are engaged and tons of dynamite are used daily to loosen the earth and rocks. The big mountain continually trembles under the concussion of the huge blasts of dynamite. Steam trains and men remove the earth and rocks as fast as giant steam shovels can be swung into position for handling.
 Lay mIIeS or Track
 Miles of new railroad tracks have been laid since the work on reducing the hill was commenced. As the mighty steam shovels eat their way into the sides of the mountain the tracks are extended, and keep follow ing in the wake of the shovels.
 The reduction of this huge hill is a tremendous task that involves mil lions of dollars The grade of ore that is being found is not of high average. Nevertheless a big concen- trator is being constructed at War ren to handle this ore, but according to MT. Notman the big mill is now marking time"
 "Sacramento Park" Future Suburb
 Sacramento Hill when reduced, in accordance with the plans and speci- fications fthe Phelps-Dodge con- pany will make room for hundreds of homes. The city is sadly in need of acreage for homes and when the re- duction of Sacramento Hill has been completed the present perplexing situ- ation that confronts the community will have been solved. Some day there will be incorporated in the limits of the city of Bisbee a suburb of fine homes and it will be known as Sac ramento Park"
 To Enlarge Dallas Shaft
 Preparatory to the development work which the Phelps-Dodge cort poratioD plans from time to time dur ing the present Hull in the copper market, work is to be started on en- larging the Dallas shaft. This shaft at present. contains only two com partments and the company plans to enlarge it to five.
 Even though the copper market is now uncertain, it is thought that with. in the next six months a great period of reconstruction will take place in Europe and copper will then come into it's own. During the great war the entire copper, output was practi' cally consumed for war needs. Great guns and war material had to be made and as a result the flow that went through private channels dur ing times of peace was virtually sus' pended and when things start read justing themselves the demand for copper on the open market is expect ed to be huge and of steady volume
