increased from s17.356,346.7O to s22.-
491 ,98O.66, an aggregate increase Of So
O45, 1886. Deposits increased from
1S,955.461.1S to s1S,4S7, 512.5S, an ag-
gregate increase OF s4,532,051.39.
There were no bank failures during
the year. All territorial banks are
closely examined by the bank comp,
troller at intervals.
The prosperity of the mining indus
try in Arizona is always notable and
during the past year and half it has
been without parallel.
The various mine operators, in their
statements Of productions made to the
county assessors and to the territorial
auditor in April of this year, acknowl-
edged an output for the calendar year
1906 of the value Of s53,S01, 1927.
These statements were made for the
purpose of fixing the valuation of the
mines for taxation, one-fourth of the
value of the product of last year being
taken as the value of the producing
mines for this year.
AS in former years copper mining
overshadowed in Importance all other
branches of mining in the territory.
According to the assessors returns,
the production of copper aggregated
55,012,155 pounds; of gold, 125,015
of silver, 2,7O4,O44 ounces. 1t
is certain, however, that the output
of gold considerably exceeded the ag-
gregate found in these tax statements,
as mining properties yielding less than
$3.50 per claim for the year are not
required by law to furnish statement;
and a large number of quartz pros
peets,, as well as numerous produc
ing placer claims, fall within the clas-
.sifcstion of "non-producing mines," al
though their aggregate output must
have been very considerable.
Copper properties also which fail to
produce 1880 OF more per claim are
not taxed as producing mines, and
the output from them must be estimat-
ed from other sources than statements
for taxation. The returns Of the Unit
ed States geological survey give the
copper output for Arizona for the cal
endar year 1906 as 263 200, 900 pounds
or 100000 pounds in excess Of the
statements that later were made in the
returns Of the assessors. All evidence
at hand warrants the assumption that
the estimate Of 10000 pounds was
conservative.
The price Of copper during the lat
ter half of 1900 and until the mid
summer Of 1907 was the highest on
record for a Ike period. and stimulated
to an acute dsgree the activity which
had already marked the copper Undue
try and the exploitation OF new copper
companies. Rains widely distributed
and at good intervals provided water
in the arid mining districts. New
strikes of copper were announced in
various localities from time to time.

GOV. -KIBBEYS
~ ANNUAL REPORT

The annual report of Governor Kfb-
hey Of Arizona for the present year is
very interesting document dealing
with every phase Of territorial govern
ment The main points are as follows:
The last year was, undoubtedly, the
most prosperous the territory has
ever known. The leading industries
are mining, farming Cor, as it rs
termed in the west, ranching), and
stock raising, and good fortune at
tended each. The production of cop
per is the leading feature of the min
eral industry, and the extraordinarily
high price of this metal throughout the
year had its good influence in every
locality The supply of water for ir-
rigation was good. and most crops
yielded an attractive profit. High prices
for cattle, sheep, horses, hogs, and
wool made all branches of the live
stock industry exceptionally profitable.
Many of the towns exhibited a remark
able growth The value of farm lands
advanced every where, and many
ranches in the Salt river valley were
sold at advances of more than 100 Per
cent over the figures at which they
were held year previously.
It has been my privilege each year
to report the financial condition of the
territory as better than ever before.
and l have again TO repeat this state
nent. on June 80, 1907, the cash in
the treasury amounted to 1885,, 015.65,
against s279,1976O on June 30, 1906.
The latter sum was the high water
mark at the time.
The large amount of cash on hand
does not indicate that money from
taxes accumulates in the treasury in
great excess Of the public needs. We're
that true, very large cash balance
would, OF course, be hurtful to the
public interests. Fixed expenditures
and special appropriations made by
the late legislature viii during the
year absorb TO a large extent the
funds on hand and the funds to come

has met with the heartiest local ap-
prevail
The legislature achieved especial dis
tinction for legislation in promotion Of
public morals. The first act, and per-
|haps the most notable. of the session
was that Of repeating the law which IL
eensed public gambling. The effect Of
this legislation was to make gambling
Iof the percentage" or rake OF" class
a felony. The act went into effect on
the LIST Of April, and on that day every
gambling house il the territory was
closed. IN effect this made April 1,
1907, historic date in the history Of
the territory and until then gambling
had been conducted anywhere in a
wide open" manner, the doors Of the
gaming houses being open every day
and night of the year. The abolition
of gambling was in response to pro-
nounced public sentiment, and regard
it as fact most creditable to our peo-
pie that not only was the law instant
ly obeyed by the gamblers themselves,
but there has been no attempt any
where to evade the law.
Speaking about the election on the
question Of joint statehood, the gover1-
or says;
Nearly year has passed since that
election and deem it my duty to e
port the fact that public sentiment in
Arizona is even stronger against joint
statehood with New Mexico than it was
last year.
