The mineral production of Arizona
for 1897, save in the item of silver,
years products are approximate, but
are compiled from the most authentic
information: Gold. 81, l36, 900. The
product was mainly in the form of con-
centrates of rebellious ores shipped
elsewhere for reduction. The main
producers were the mines at Congress,
Fort Una, Brs dshaw Mountains and
Pesrce. Placer a mioe aoD produced dust
to the value Of $500, 900, and about a
similar valuation of bullion was secur-
ed from the cyanide plants in opera
ton on the dumps of old mills. The
silver yield was ], 24O, 900 ounces, main
ly secured as by-prOduct in the re-
duction of gold and copper ores. The
lead output secured in combination
with silver was 1888, 900 pounds. The
copper product was about 81. $50, 900
POUNDS, almost enG1relV from the
works of the United Verde at jerome,
the Copper Queen at Bisbee, and the
Arizona works at Clifton. At those
works there has been q large increa se
of product. more than compromising
for the temporary closing of the fur
naces at Globe and Morenci. Every
importer mt copper company in the ter
ritory is preparing for active opera
lions, and the general estimate is that
the output for 1898 will exceed 100, OOO,-
600 pounds.
