SHEA PLANS. ID START SHIPPING
 AT EARLY DATE
Exploration at Verde Central Continues; Expect Action
 on Dundee Property

JEROME, Aug. 19.-Following the completion of the work of straighten- ing the shaft at the Shea mine. it is announced that active ore extraction is to be begun at once and that it is entirely probable that shipments will begin within a few days.
 The raise from the tunnel level is to be extended further into the ore bodies from which the extremely rich tetrahedrites were shipped a couple of years ago and it is understood that stoping will begin on the drift from the present bottom of the shaft which is said to be insa sevenfoot face of commercial ore.
 With all preliminary work out of the way and the workings in the very best of operative condition, it is the general opinion that steady ore ship ments can be maintained
 Verde Central Exploration at the Verde Central continued on the normal scale and there is little new to repuort except | that the tunnel workings have cut q jasper dyke of considerable size and some interesting developments are i expected soon from this part of the mine.
 Good progress is being made in the drifts from the 800 station and some interesting territory is being devel- ] oped Verde Jerome I It will be but matter of a few days unti the shaft at the Verde Jerome has been enlarged to the bottom of the old working when active new ex- | ploration will begin. Every man that can be worked to advantage is em- ployed and in addition to the shaft [ work considerable surface exploration of the manganese-bearing ledge that crosses the property is being made.
 Dundee Mine
 Engineer w. E. Deity of the Dun- dee-Arizona has been in camp almost the entire week and while he has made no announcement of any kind. 1t is the general opinion that there will be an early resumption of sinking at the property. It is we'll known that the indications at the bottom of the workings are of a nature to warrant 1 further exploration at depth and it is entirely probable that sinking will be recommended before many weeks have passed.
 Steam Shovel Work
 The steam shovels at the United Verde are keeping up their regular clip and are making normal progress. ! Work in the various departments of the mine and shelter is proceeding without special incident and the nor nal production of copper is being maintained.-Verde Copper News.

 Among the transfers of property were the sale of the Higgins to the Copper Queen, the sale of the Venture Hill and Verde Apex to the Verde Cen tral and the sale of the Ash Peak pro- perty
 "The position of copper at the end of July was good. Although there are no official figures, it is estimated that the total refined output of copper for the first six months of the year was 550,0O0,OOO pounds, and this was eX- ceeded by sales by 2S1, 100000 pounds U. s. Geological Survey estimates showed 793 ,0OO, 900 pounds above the ground, January 1sth including copper in process. Thus on July 1 the total copper above the ground was but 512,0000,000 pounds.
 "The price of copper held stiffly at IA cents throughout the month, except that at the end quotations were made at IA Co IA Is.
 During the past few days reports have been made of sales for almost every month during the rest of the year, indicating buyers believe the price is due for a rise.

The winze fro mthe 800 level of the Telluride is now down 60 feet and free gold is showing through the rock mass. The average of this ore body has increased with every foot and the impression prevails among the miners that better ore is being opened than ever before found in the property. The sinking of this winZe is import ant as showing that good ore may live at a good depth in that territory
 The drift to the east from the 800 is progressing into new territory and the vein is increasing in width and value. so we are informed. The de velopment of ore in that part of the property adds greatly to the ore re- serves and gives longer life to pro ductiOn. Another feature that is of the utmost importance is the showing in the Tom Reed, the vein indicating a trend into the Telluride at greater depth.

The following brief, but complete, summary of mining activity in Arizo- ma during the month of July has been compiled by the Arizona Industrial Congress:
 "The month was marked by prog ress in several directions in the min- ing industry: The starting of idle plants, increases in production at plants already in operation, and the transfers of several properties.
 Important among the assumptions of work was the opening of the Hum boldt shelter of the Southwest Metals company and the announcement that the Cananea Consolidated would re- sume operations on August 15. Work is being rushed on the Ray Hercules in order to get a production of 1900 tons daily at an early date.
 There were a number of increases in production. The Copper Queens production was placed at S,500,000 pounds, with an announcement that it would be increased to 10,000,000 pounds in August. Work has been resumed in small way at Sacramen- to Hill, at Bisbee. The placing of an. other furnace into commission at the United Verde, at Clarkdale, and the starting of another unit of the Moe teZuma plant also were noteworthy

CONSOLIDATION OF SIX M|N|NG
 GROUPS TALKED
Jas. Layman Announces Plan For Merging Properties in
 South Jerome District

JEROME, Aug. 19.-Plans for a gi- gantic combination of six big mining properties in the south end Of the dis trict are well under way. according to James NJ. Layman. who is again in the district after a hurried business trip that carried him to Fl Paso, Patagonia Los Angeles and other points.
 The groups to be consolidated are the Copper Chief, Equator, Copper Chief Extension. Layman-Washburn Larson-Colbath and Green Monster. They will be merged into the Verde Consolidated Mine and Tunnel com pany, corporatioM having 100000 shares with a par value of 50 cents each.
 Q Layman hopes to start operations with a development fund of half q million dollars and to have 100000 shares remaining in the treasury.
 Options Secured
 Options have been secured on all the groups with the exception of the Green Monster. Most of the present Green Monster directors are opposed to entering the consolidation but Lay man claims to have the support of enough stockholders to force the call ing of a special meeting and put the pending deal through Even without the Green Monster, however, the five remaining groups would give the Verde Consolidated a tremendous min eraliZed area, almost every foot of which may prove valuable under de- velopment.
 With the Green Monster. the Verde Consolidated will have 3200 acres, making it one of the largest single mining properties in the world.
 Sold Outright
 Cash and Verde Consolidated stock are involved in all the deals except that for the Equator, which adjoins the Copper Chief. Senator w. A. Clark and associates, who own the Equator, will receive approximately s2OO. O.OOO and no stock. About the same amount will be paid to the own CTS of the Copper Chief and in addi- tion they will receive a block of stock The principal Copper Chief owner is w. s. Fulton of Waterbury, Connecti- cut.
 F. J. Seeley is head of the Copper Chief Extension company. Layman and K. s. Washburn own the Layman- Washburn ground, while Harry Col bath and Joe Larson hold the old
 A 2,OO0-foot tunnel would cut the Copper Chief at depth of some 1900 feet and the Copper Chief Extension at something like 2,0O0 feet. It would also explore the Green Monster and Equator at varying depths. The gen. eral plan is to run spurs out into Green Monster, Equator and Copper Chief claims as the tunnel passes through en route to the high ground embodied in the Copper Chief EXten- sion, Altogether about 5000 feet of tunnel will be necessary to carry out this idea It is big project and will not be undertaken until after consid- erable development has been done in the Copper Chief, Equator and Green

THE REVIEWS WEEKLY MINING NEWS PAGE
Fl Paso Editor Writes Complete And Thrilling Account of History
 or Ahumada and Erupcion Mines

The Fl Paso Times of August IS, "Wednesday carried one of the most interesting mining stories every pub lished in the southwest, written by Llew H. Davis. mining editor of The Times, about the history of the now famous Ahumada and Erupcion mines at Los Lamentos, so miles south of Fl Paso.
 The length of the article makes it's republication unadvisable, but The Re view gladly recommends the reading of it to anyone who may think that the life of a mining engineer or min ing company officials is all mining and no adventure.
 Referrng to the exciting early his tory O fthe properties, Davis writes:
 In a country infested with bandits and rowing bands of revolutiOnists and a semit-desert, to say nothing of the distance from a railroad, less dar- ing men would have directed their eff forts to other channels. Only men who knew the people and the country would have attempted the develop ment of these properties in such trou- blesome times against such odds. When it is understood that the mine was raided 13 times in one month by different revolutionary bands, the read CT may well understand how difficult it was to keep the workmen supplied with provisions. On three different occasions, every one, including the men, women and children, were driven from the mine and threatened with death if they returned to their work A ifNnA hn tor -hDI 1IGT-c were driven away and the workmen and families were compelled to walk 13 miles to get water. But against all these difficulties the company strug gled on."
 Describes Properties Speaking of the Erupcion and Anu mada today, Davis writes:
 The ore is very desirable for lead smelters, carrying a high percentage 1 of lead and iron, almost no zinc anC very little sulphur. The average an alysis of the 5000 tons already hauled | by wagons to the railroad and shoppeC i to the various smelters is about as fol l lows:
 i Lead, 43 per cent; silver, 7.5 ounces iron, 15 per cent; lime, 3 per cent zinc, 1 per cent; sulphur, per cent silica, 2.5 per cent.
 As to the tonnage in sight, it is diff ficult to determine as the ore lies il pockets or caves, but all the mining engineers that have examined thf property agree that there are man! hundreds of thousands of tons, and al these ores are extracted other ore bod ies will be discovered, and there is nt doubt but that the Erupcion and Anu mada Lead companies properties vii furnish all the lead needed by the F

Metal Mines Face
 Shortage in Labor Says Times Writer
(New York Times)

Although the coal and railroad strikes are having no effect upon the metal mining industry in this country the problem of obtaining an adequate number of competent miners is the outstanding feature as expressed by interests associated with copper, lead and zinc productions.
 In some quarters anxiety is express ed regarding the outlook for the next few weeks or months, but in no quar- ter is it reported that current produc- tion is being affected by a lack of fuel to operate either power or smelting plants. This is partly due to the fact that in most sections of the west hy- droelectric and fuel oil power plants supply a good portion of the power requirements of the mines, and where coal is needed it is being supplied from non-uniOn fields. In the states further east, however, the situation is not so favorable. especially in the copper mining section of Michigan, Wisconsin and the Tri-State lead-zinc region, where the outlook is not so bright for the winter months. The production of copper, however continues to show slow but steady increase

 mated monthly rate of current produc. tion by some of the larger companies

 Incidentally, there is a possibility that the shortage of miners is a bless ing in disguise It is conceivable that if more good men were available the production would be so largely in creased as to affect the metal market unfavorably.

Arthur B.

The real miner is something of skilled workman. In the Michi- gan copper country, Calumet and Hec- la has enough men. The other com panies are short-handed.

The strike on the east end of the Tom Reed, at the 800 level, has de- veloped into one of the biggest things of recent years. The vein is said to have been cut for a width of 40 feet, ten feet of which is high grade mill ore. What vein the strike is on has not yet been predicated. but the be- lief is that it is the Gray Eagle. The new ore body is close to the line of the Telluride and it is probable that it will extend into that ground, es- pecially if it develops as extensively as the other ore bodies along the big lead.
