 Last year the whole Yukon country, inclusive of the Klondike. produced S22o0O,OOO in gold. No other metals We're produced, therefore this repre- sents the total mineral output of that country. In the production of this vast amount of wealth 10000 people were employed, Last year there were employed in mining in the territory Of Arizona not to exceed l2,0OO men and the mineral output amounted to over o30,000, ,00O. Thus it will be seen that Arizona is far the richer country of the two. Without the boom that the Yukon country has had, Arizona every day produces far more mineral, and even exceeds the output of the great state of California. Within ten years Arizona will be the greatest gold, copper, silver and lead produc- ing section of the United States. It is now third in the list of mineral pro- duclng states, being exceeded by Colo. rado and Montana -Mohave Miner.
