Bisbee daily review., 1907-08-28

there was no production in the War ren district in this county except by the Copper Queen. About that time the Calumet and Arizona company was starting active development work in Bisbee. This company now ranks with the important producers of the territory and the present output of 4.O0o. 900 pounds per month is expect ed to be more than doubled within the next year. The smelter of this com pany is now being enlarged to war rant this assumption.
 Another very important producer, which has been put in operation since 1900, is the Old Boot mine at I'm perial, where large smelling plant is being constructed; another produc- ing camp since 1900 is the Helvetia in Pima county and another in the same county is the Twin Buttes.
 Globe has made wonderful advance ment in seven years. The Old Do minion was for many years a doubt full quantity in the territory's mining industry; since it was put under the ownership and management of the Phelps-Dodge company. a new and modern reduction plant, including a concentrating mill, has been provided and ore bodies have been developed during the present year in the lowest depths of this mine to insure it as a dividend payer for years.
 These are only a few prominent in stances of the growth of the mining industry in recent years. It will be remembered that the mines in Ari- zona are now assessed on the ore pro duced, so that s2O,OO0,O0O valuation in producing mines would mean that ore worth sSO,OOO,OOo had been pro duced during the year
 The outlook for the future of Ari- zona's mining industry todayis. not less fiattering than it was a half decade ago. In every section of the geTritory development work is being pursued with good results and it may be safely predicted that during the remainder of the present decade other producing mining camps will be add ed to those already in successful ope- ration in Arizona.
 And mining is not the only industry slated for important future growth in Arizona. The agricultural industry, the one which will endure for all time in this country, is just on the eve of important advancement because of the irrigation enterprises already un- dertaken and to be undertaken here. The Tonto Basin is one of the first irrigation storage dams undertaken in the west by the government. It is expected that this great work will be nearing completion 8 year from now It will insure an abundant wat CT supply for the Salt river valley and give to Phoenix, the capital city, such prosperity and growth as has hardly been calculated in the past. The Tonto Basin dam location is only one of several where the impounding of water may be successfully accom- pIished by the government; that these storage sites will be utilized by the government reclamation service may be confidently expected. A storage dam on the GiIa river, short dis tance below San Carlos. it is believed would be the means of supplying wat, CT for the irrigation of practically all of the great valley lying betwees the Southern Pacific railroad and the |GHa Of which the town of Florence lis the commercial center. Here are more than 100000 acres of land. sec ond to none in the world for fertility, which will. in future years support a prosperous population of farmers.
 The rapid growth of Arizona during the present decade will be duplicated during the next seven years unless all indications are deceptive
