The Congress, the ORC Grande and the

Arizona had nine smelters in opera
ton last year, and there are now 9TH
srs. Over one-half Of the wage-earners
tries OF the territory are workers in
the smelters, and three-fourths OF the
capital in these industries is invested
in them. The cost Of the raw material
brought to them amounted to $3.50
SS4, but the value of their output is
placed at 81, ,2S6, 5l7 for the year 1900.

Pima county and Southern Arizona
-han can be accredited to any one 9TH
or mine operator in the Territory, and
the exploitation of the same has given
to the purchasers in every
instance. Some are ungenerous to the
extent of saying Olsen's success is due

have all turned out we'll this assertion
will not hold water" but is attribut-
able to large degree to Mr.. Olsen's
knowledge of mine and the
mining field in which he
operates.-Citizen.
