 six months ago to convince people that
 the 1899 output of copper in Arizona
 would probably exceed 15O,00O.000
 pounds, and inquiries from mining
 men as to the big strike at the Crowned King and the recert strikes
 and developments in ether parts Of the territory were numerous. The
 Republican was complimented in vari- ouS quarters for the valuable work
 done in keeping the mining interests 50 well to the fore, and it was evident

 ing fruit and will be of the greatest
 aid in the further and rapid develop ment of the territory's metallic wealth. THEY ALL WANT IT, NJ w.
