 It will be noted that the Phelps Dodge properties Cooper Queen De- troit, Old Dominion United Globe and Moctezuma) produced more than 46 per cent of the total. The company's Copper Queen smelter ct Douglas is the greatest in the southwest and is being added to continually. Already it has equipment for handling 5000 tons of ore day, though it is run at only about two-thirds it's capacity. As has been the custom in previous years. the Nacozari output is included in the fig ures for Arizona. The output, in the shape of highly sulphuretic concen- trates, valuable for mixing with car bonate ores, is shipped to the Douglas and Globe smelters. The shipped ores noted in the production table have gone to smelters at Fl Paso and in Colorado from the Clifton district, from Globe. from the Superior mine in Pinal coun- ty, from the Dragoon mountains of Co., chise county, from mines in Santa Cruz county, from the Bradshaw mountains near Prescott and from the Grand Can yon district. In the estimate also is in cluded matte from smelter that has been operated somewhat on the northern side of the Grand Canyon.
 There is little doubt, if the price of copper holds up, that the bullion pro- duction of Arizona will be fully p Der cent greater in 1906. The Detroit and Arizona Copper companies, which have mountains of low grade ores, are doub- ling their concentrator capacities. The shannon lately installed converters saving transportation of matte to the Arizona Copper company's smelter. The Globe shelter, one of the best in ex- istence, has been in operation only part of the year and is capable of 50 per cent greater output. A concen- trating mill and furnace, with initial capacity of 300 tons a day, will be built by the Imperial Company at Silver Bell, Pima county, thus trebling its bullion product. A new furnace was added lately to the Calumet and Arizona smelter at Douglas, and it's greater neighbor, the Copper Queen, is capable of doing far more than during the past year, even with its present equipment. Improvements now being made at the United Verde smelter will permit Of fully 5O,000000 pounds of copper pro- duct in 1906. At Humboldt. in Big Bug district, south of Prescott, will shortly be blown in" great custom shelter, handling, besides sil- yer and gold about 300 tons of copper ore a day. In the same vicinity the Rigby plant is approaching completion and the Treadwen smelter is showing signs of renewed activity.
 This shows enormous smelting ca pacity, but there is no doubt of the ability of the copper mines to keep the furnaces well supplied with ore. It is probable that the close of 1906 will find Arizona leading the world in the production of copper"
