 People who are not familiar with mining operations have but a vague conception of the magnitude of the copper industry, the great capital that is employed in the development and equipment of copper mines. the mar vicious and practically unlimited ore deposits of the leading copper camps of North America, the millions in profits that weItestabhshed cooper districts are paying to fortunate shareholders. and the enormous amounts of the red metal now used in industrial and commercial circles.
 No matter what the fluctuations in the quotations of the red metal may b, its use will never be restricted. As a matter of fact, the utilization Of copper will continue to grow and grow. and to such proportion that the best informed. the faTseeing mind. cannot grasp the copper situation as 1t will exist at a period only ten or twenty years in the future.
 So absorbed has the general pub lie been inthe production of gold, sil- yer, and lead, during the past quarter of a century, that the importance of the wonderful growth in the produc- tion of copper has been largely over looked, to saS nothing of the millions that have become interested in this phase of a most fascinating and prof itable industry and pursuit; which to begin with, is somewhat slow in un- timate results, and requiring the ex- penditure of large capital; but which, eventually, leads to lifelong and heavy incomes.
 At the present time the copper miBes of the United States produce GO per cent of the annual copper out put of the world, and about one-third of this comes from Arizona. During the past twenty years the mines of Butte, from limited area, have pro duced s900, 100000; the Calumet & Hecla. of Michigan, paid $7 GOO, 900 in dividends in 1906 and it's profits have been over $100. 900 GOO since 1871; and the toher big mines of the Mich igan field have been almost equally productive and profitable.
 During the past ten years Utah and Nevada have been much in the public eye because of the growth of the cop per industry in these states. Of the two, Utah has made wonderful strides to the front because of it's increased and ever growing copper productior by its two leading copper districts Bingham and Newhouse; while Ne vada, with It's large and growing fields, notably Ely and Yerington, are expected to make enviable records in the not very distant future.
 A section that cannot much longer be overlooked, however, is Arizona, from whose copper mines, it is es- in conservative circles, al least 50 per cent of the entire cop per production of the United States will be recorded inside of the next few years. Many new prospects are rapidly being developed, and from the showing, it is the opinSon of min ing experts, that a number of new large producers of copper will be added to the Arizona list, especially, in the Jerome dlstrleJ wnere acJIyIty is at it's highest. it is in Arizona that some of the steatest copper pro ducers in the world are located, and it is here that we find the Calumet & Arizona paying $2,40O,000 yearly in dividends; the Copper Queent with a net annual earning of about $10 0,000,- GOO, and the great United Verde, at Jerome. Arizona, the profits from which are so great as hardly to be even estimated; and these are but a few of the many bonanzas to be found in the extensive copper zone of this vast but little known territory. in dividends during the past ten years, and in whose workings. it is stated, all of $500, ,000, 900 in ore ss now block ed out ready for extraction to be sent to the mill or the market.
 From almost nothing, during the past twenty-five years. the copper in- dustry of the United States has grown to magnitude that is almost inconeeivable: and still. in reality, t Is now only in it's infancy; anii the wealth that 1t Is yet to bring to those who wisely become identified with 1t can hardly be estimated or told in dollars and cents.
 Arizona has some grand copper mines. but of them all there none better than the Calumet & Arizona. It has record of production and div Housekeeping in mind that t Ia only six years of age-that has never been equaied. nor even approached, by any other copper mine. That is a great deal to say, for there Is no lack Of copper mines that are making millions of money for their owners. The original nine of the Calumet & Arizona's holdings, was known. and IS still. as the Irish Mag" We are told that God is good to the Irish nor is there reason to doubt it. Rather are there many and good reasons for believing 1t is al together true. When the Calumet & Arizona people got possession of the Irish Mag they got something which may well lead them to believe that not only is the Lord good to the Irish, but fo everything that bears al Irish name. Irish Mag" is the one claim that has been chiefly instru- mental ip making the Calumet & Ar zona company the successful and rich company 1t is.
