aside from the copper mining in
dustry there is little to be consid-
cred in Arizona or northern Sonora.
In Nevada your other metals, gold,
silver and lead, make for a brighter
view of life on the part of the Wis
itor than he can possibly bring him
self to see in the southwest. | have
heard a great deal of enthusiastic
talk wherever l have been in the
state, excepting Ryholte, which APP
pears to have failed to come up to eX-
pectations, though it is still maintain
ed that it will make a big low grade
camp, there is no talk of other than
sanguine character, while one occa-
sionally hears that Goldfield is not as
good as it was, a visit there and con-
tact with the actual figures of pro-
duction and with the records of ore
being obtained at depth, dissipates
such an idea. At Phoebe things are
looking very good. The formation
there and along the new railroad into
the camp is certainly of kind to Gre
ate enthusiasm.
improvements Impressive.
"An impressive feature in the
state is the large amount of new rail
road building and betterment work
being done. The latter is particular
ly true on the Clark Salt Lake line,
which is getting its trackage in splen-
did shape and operating its road in
manner that is winning much ap-
probation from the travelling public.
This road is pulling a great deal OF
ore to smelter from it's main and con-
Meeting lines. At Crucero, where the
Salt Lake crosses the track of the
Tonopah and Tidewater, surveyors
are now at work making final sur
veys on a smelter site. The smelter
is to be built by the Fisher Bros. of
Los Angeles and it is said that ma
terials are now on the way. 1t will
have initial capacity of $50 tons.
Announcement that it is to be built
has occasioned much new prospect
ing in tributary country and lately
a large number of new claims have
been filed, some of them covering
what is said to look like excellent
gold, silver and copper ground.
T. & r. Nearly Completed.
Upon the Tonopah and Tidewater
they are pushing construction to con-
meet with the branch line into TonO-
pah with all possible speed. 1t is
the expectation that connection will
be made before the end of this month.
Only about four miles of rail remain
to be put down. The Las Vegas and
Tonopah line is probably now through
with its construction. The Phoebe
road will be completed into that camp
early next month.
In conclusion, | can say no more
than | did in the beginning. Nevada
looks exceedingly good. She is I'M
questionably making great Roadway
despite the strenuous times preva-
lent throughout the country AS for
this district, the general tone is bet
ter than in other copper camps have
visited. Copper should adjust to a
fair figure during the winter, unless
those in position to express opinions
of worth are all wrong, and in that
event the fact that your smelter will
not be ready to blow in before some
time in the early months of the new
year can be counted fortunate cir
cumstance, for its output will thus
be enabled to go on a buying and
profitable market. The district, from
what | have seen, has occasion to
count itself in luck in many ways,
particularly ii can be said. in the
fact that she has the money in the
treasures of her big companies to
keep straight ahead with the work
as outlined for development in more
prosperous days in financial circles
of the country
There are mighty few copper dis
tricts today which are so happily
fixed in this respect"
