Coincident with this deal, Mr.. Mar.

OUTSKIRTS COMPETITORS.

Unless something outside the range
Of present probabilities should trans.
spirc, IL may be safely assumed that
Arizona position as the leader Of
the copper producers will be maintain.
ed indefinitely. Last year the terri
tory surpassed Montana by approx.
mately forty million pounds Of refined
copper, but in some quarters 1t was
suggested that conditions in the lat.
ter state had not been normal during
1908, and that the figures for 1909
might disclose reversal of posi-
tions.
IL is now evident that such an
assumption was based upon nothing
more tangible than surmise. The fig
ures for May show that Arizona pro.
duced 27,5I9,0OO pounds, and that the
average for the first FIVE months Of
1909 shows an annual rate of $685.
00O, 900 pounds. For the latter period
the territcry's production was four
million pounds in excess Of that Of its
nearest rival Montana. II is gener.
ally conceded that both Montana asd
Michigan have practically reached the
limit Of production, while il 10 equally
apparent that Arizona may reason.
ably expect TO increase its output by
the exploitation Of new territory al.
ready proven beyond the prospective
stsge.
This year Arizona Commercial will
enter the market with an estimated
output Of nearly 100000 pounds Q
month and tho FL Trio, near the I'm.
perial, will be responsible for an ad.
ditional 100000 pounds a month.
Next year, the Miami, at Globe, with
ore in sight TO the amount Of near.
ly 100000 tons, will be ready for
production upon a large scale and IL
will be closely followed by the Ray,
with present reserve Of $1,000, 900

Last months output was accounted
for AS follows: Copper Queen, $780,.
900 pounds; Calumet 4 Arizona and

United Verde, a,25O,OOO; Old Domin.

leading properties it is unquestion-
ably fact that neither has yet
reached its greatest capacity and that
the various ore bodies will yield even
greater tonnage for many years to
come.
The outlook in Arizona was never
brighter or more inspiring and il is a
crying shame that Los Angeles, its
natural base Of commercial and fnan.
cial supplies, has paid and Is still
paying such infnitesimal attention
to the vast wealth that could be turn.
