Charles T. Lummls wrote DOCK about Arizona under the title ''Land of Poco Tiempo," meaning the land of after a while ."Manana," or to- morrow. Perhaps this title had proper application to Arizona about decade ago. It represents a character istic of the people, of the country in- herited from the early Spanish set tiers, but today has as much get there on- the-t top as any section of the union, and the American has come on the scene ito do things" in the erstwhile "Land of Poco Tiempo, " having with him as a motto to dis place the Spanish everlasting "Mana- na, ,'' the new key note "dO it now. "
 The lack of water and the danger from the savage Apaches combined to delay the development of the re- sources of Arizona. The Apaches have gone to the "Harry Hunting Ground" and the water problem has been partially solved, railroads have crossed the territories from east tc west and from north to south.
 There were early day bonanza mines in Arizona. The Vulture located about ten miles from Wickenburg and seventy miles from Prescott wal opened in 1863 and under great disad vantages produced millions for iti owners. Coin and currency were scarce at that time and banks-ther' were none-so the miners were paiC off, not in coin, not in promises, bu in chunks of gold chopped off with [ hatchet from the ingots and weighed out according to the figures on tn, pay roll. The stamped bars of golC from this mine were current all ove central and northern Arizona.
 The Silver King mine not far iron Globe, Arizona, was opened up il 1875, and is said to have produced il twelve years twelve millions of dollar in gold and silver, principally tn former.
 The Tom bstone district opened il 1878, and produced millions in gold Those early day bonanzas, while the, attracted wide attention have not pro duced a respectable fraction of the to tai metallic wealth placed to tn credit of Arizona to date.
 Arizona has come to the front as copper producer, ranking third in tn list; Montana and Michigan only ex ceeding it, and it is claimed that tn next few years will place Arizona a the head of the list.
 This would be the case today if tn production of the American owne mines just across the border in Mexi co, were included in the out put C Arizona. The Clifton, Globe and Bi: bee districts are we'll known as coppe producers. The United Verde owne by Senator W. A. Clark not far fror Prescott is said to produce s9,0O0, 0C per year in gold and copper.
 Arizona is no untrIed field for mir ing, and the energetic mining invest ors of Colorado and the west all spea of Arizona as a mining district with great future, and more recently otht parts of the country have awakened the possibilities of securing undeve oped mining properties in Arizona.
 The invasion of Lake Superior cap tai, particularly in the Bisbee dii trict, is one of the notable features mining circles in the past few year It is true that over nine million do lars from the head of the lakes an upper Michigan have been investe within two years in Arizona minin property.
 The results realized by several ( these Lake Superior companies opel ating within the bonanza circle of tI Warren and Bisbee districts, is | longer problematical.
