The greatest number of wage-earn- CTS employed in Arizona's principal Industries in any one month of 1905. was COPS, and the least number, 4126. giving an average employment of 4Ta2.
 There is enough yirility in the fore going showing of Arizona's manu- lecturers of 1905 to justify the con- clusion that the rapid development of her resources which will follow State haad will soon give her a much high CT rank in the sisterhood of manu- featuring States.
 MINERAL RESOURCES.
 As to Arizona's mineral resources pages could be written. but space for bits predicting that the copper production in the United States in 1905 would be 75 100000 pounds great CT than the s12.59o 900 pounds produc- tion of 1904, IF indeed. not s7.0o0.ooo pF LndS more.

The week just past brings out the opening of a boom on Copper stocks, which has to a certain extent affected the local market. Although there has not been much activity in the local market there has been better spirit among traders, and new life has been taken on, especially those that
 thought the market had dropped out of sight. Coppers are selling alto gether too low in proportion to the price at which the metal is selling. When copper was selling at F and l3 cents copper stocks were selling much higher than they are today, when cop per is selling between 1s and 20 cents. North Butte wa swithout doubt the most sought after stoc kduring the week on the Boston Exchange, reach ing the $100 mark.

Previous to 1890 there was but two years in which time the mines made as much as fifty million pounds in any year. For the company's fiscal year ending April, 1906, production exceeded one hundred million pounds. for the first year in the history of the mine, and 1t Is probabls that both the Calumet & Hecla and Anaconda will exceed 100,- 100000 pounds for the present calen- dar year.
 Among the other laks producers Os- ceola showed a small falling of, due to a combination of adverse factors, and led Quincy by the narrow margin of barely 100000 pounds. the latter making gain of nearly half million pounds over the previous year. Tam arack gained nearly a million pounds but will show a sad falling off for 1906. Champion led all the mines of the district, except Calumet & Hecla, in increase. with a gain of two and a half million pounds. followed close ly by Baltic, with a gain of upwards of two million pounds. Both of these are young and vigorous mines, and have increased output every year since beginning production, early in the de- cade. and will show further gains for 1906. Trimountain, the third of the Copper Range mines. gained only quarter of a million pounds, but is inn proving steadily, and should show a larger gain during the current year.

HOUGHToN. Mich. Sept. 15.--(Spe- cial. .)-As recently as 1903 a copper expert, connected with the Rothchilds, who, as man of long experience and good judgment, predicted that the ulti- mate productive capacity of the Lake Superior district would be reached with an output of about PIE, 5,000,000 pounds of fine copper yearly. With in two years from the date this pre- diction was made the Lake mines were turning out the red metal at the rate of output given by this authority as representing their full productive pos sibility for the entire future, and for the year 1905 the output was more than 6 per cent greater than the limit set. Not only this but 1906 output probably will show gain over the preceding year, notwithstanding sev- eral serious strikes, and the crippling of the Tamarack mine by stubborn fire, the wrecking of the Atlantic and the closing down of the Phoenix mine

The figures of the Calumet & Hecla vary from pre- vious figures published, for the req son that the ficsal year of the Calu- met & Hecla does not end with the calendar year, in addition to which the company reports it's annual output in two sets of figures, one being for the estimated copper contained in the min- eral produced, while the other gives actual production of refined copper. In this case the figures are for the actual amount of fine copper produced turing the calendar year 1905.

Inasmuch as 1t is evident that Ari- zona does not want Statehood in con- junction with New Mexico, nor New Mexico with Arizona, if we may judge by the recent press letter of Gov. Otero of New Mexico, why not Ari- zona alone? Why build up future fric. tion and trouble by forcing a union where such union is not mutually de- sired? There are many important in dustries in Arizona-mining and lum- Der for instance-which need the mor- al, legal and financial strength of in dividual statehood for their solidifica. ton and future development. Ari- zona has the largest unbroken forest in the world, with an area in excess of 5000 square miles, and with virgin
 timber reserves of more than 7,000,- 900 acres. Of Arizona's copper mines, destined at no distant date to be the largest producing copper mines in this or any country, much might be said, and indeed is being said almost daily in reliable publications. Town after town is building up through the copper region of the territory. Large amounts of wages and dividends are being regularly distributed from .his and the timber industries New banks, new stores, additional transportation, and new activities of all kinds neees- sarily follow.

Analysis of the foregoing figures gives a number of interesting deduc- lions. The most important of these is the great increase In production by he Calumet & Hecla, which gained nearly 20 per cent, in output, bringing his mine, from fourth place In 1903 70 first place in 1905, among the cop. per producers of the world. The in- crease in output by the Calumet & Hecla is due, not mainly to smelting reserve mineral, as has been erron- eously stated, but rather to largely increased rate of production, render. ed possible by the great increase in milling facilities provided. The work of reccustructing the stamp-mills at Lake Linden has been under way for three years and is nearing compile ton. The number of stamps in the three mills is not being increased, but the newer stamps are of greater power and there has been a marked increase in the capacity of the dressing machin- cry. As the two older mills have been rebuilt in two sections each, 25 per cent of the ultimate stamping capacity of the new mills, or an average of 20 per cent of the total future capacity of all three mills, has been lacking at all times, and remains lacking. With the completion of the work of rebuild ing the fourth and final section of the two old mills the Calumet & Hecla will be given a further increase of 20 per cent in stamping capacity, in ad- dition to the third section, rebuilding during 1905, hence it is safe to state that within a year the Calumet & Har1a rryi1I cfannnfr0 off fv of at least 125, 5,000, 900 pounds of fine copper yearly, and the mines are amply able to supply rock to the full capacity of the mills, hence by 1908 the Calumet & Hecla should be on a normal productive basis of ten million pounds of fine copper monthly. No copper mine of the world has made as much as one hundred million pounds of fine copper in any year since 1902, and the Anaconda, of Mon tana, is the only mine that ever has made that amount in any year, produc. ton of the Anaconda having reached or exceeded one hundred million pounds yearly for seven consecutive years, from 1896 to 1902, inclusive, with high-water mark of 131, Al, ,127 is probable that both the Calumet & Hecla has averaged about eighty mil lion pounds production yearly, since . >><> >>>>>>>< . 1903 was s415.241.

of it's rock. Franklin and Atlantic pounds, due largely to underground troubles, which have since culminated in the wrecking of the mine, while Franklin also fell oil half million pounds In output. Isle Royale also changed places with Michigan, the former gaining a half million pounds as compared with gain of 150, 900 pounds by the Michigan. The Michi- gan, however, Is beginning mill of its own, and when this is finished, can double its production, placing the mine among the really important pro ducers, with an annual output of five to six million pounds of fine copper. As 1t is, the Michigan is now making more copper than ever was made in any but one year by it's predecessor. the great Minnesota mine, which, in the early days of Lake Superior cop per mining, was one of the two bo- nanza mines of the district.
 Mass showed a falling of of nearly 10000 pounds, due to a change of policy by which the management pushed development, rather than pro- duction during the year. The Ad- venture gained upwards of 100000 pounds, under the capable administra- ton of MT. Brady and is gradually working onto a firmer footing than since the inception of the company. The great decrease in the production of the Phoenix was due to the closing of the mine in the first half of the year. Winona was not a producer during 1905, but will enter the ranks again, before or about the close of the current year. Centennial increased production by s00,000 pounds, and An meek increased more than a million pounds.
