Arizona is doing some excusab ble boas5ing just now because of the fact established by last years performance, that the copper yield has more chan doubled during the past three years. The production in 1903 was 147,- GAY 26O pounds; in 1906 the product ion with the month of December esti- mated is 30O,O00.0OO- pounds. The Copper Queen of Bisbee is turning out as much copper now as the whole territory did four years ago. When it comes to going ahead in the copper industry Arizona may surely be said to bs "going some.'
