 1 That the government takes much in- terest in the development of Arizona's mineral resources, and intends that important mining districts shall have their full share of attention is evi- denced by the fact that geological survey has already been completed in the Bradshaw district, and two parties are now in the field, one at Globe and one in the Clifton district. The Globe district is being handled by Dr. F. l.. Ranson and J. B. Irving, of Harvard l University. A preliminary reconnois sance ot this district was made in the summer, and the work is now being ca rried out in detail.
 | Geologists [. Lindgren and J. M. ] Boutwell, are covering the Clifton Morenci district, and for the present have their headquarters in MOrenci. The work was begun the last part of October, and the geologists have just returned from preliminary trip or which they have secured a good gener- al idea of the country. Soon will be made the detailed study of the surface when all surface formatio,s will be plotted and the geological history of the country studied. When this is | finished, the work will go on under ground, and the ore deposits will be studied, with special attention to tho history and manner of their formation. GeolOgist Boutwell, states that from the reconnaissance already made, it is clear that the district is an unusually interesting one, and the work promises to be productive of facts of unusual inn portance both from geologic and economic standpoint. When these facts are fully worked out they will be published in Bulletin of the Division of Metalliferous Deposits at Washing ton.
