needed nowadays ln order 10 Work at profit these great and almost un- touched placers; for they need the dIedge, a costly apparatus.
 That investments in the mountains of Arizona richly reward the co i'al ist is proved by the results attained by the Detroit Copper Mining eom- pany, the Calumet & Arizona. the Superior & Pittsburg. the Shattuck- Arizona. the old Dominion. the Unit ed Globe. the Gibson Copper the Ari- zona Copper, the shannon, the Imper- Iai Copper. and the Oxide COpper com pany. to say nothing of the United Verde and the Copper Queen. Nor Is this half the list. but time forbids an enumeration of the hundreds of pay inc mines now in operation.
 In the great and growing southwest Is room for every sort of miner. IL is not the capitalist alone that finds fields of usefulness and profit. To the skilled laborer and the common miner Arizona now offers greater opportuni tles than ever before. Nor have the unions obtained the foothold here that they have in California and other estern mining communities. Strikes are almost unknown. Even during the lanic and following the great slump i3 copper. the mines of Arizona kept up activities, employing nearly the usual number of men, with only a slight reduction in wages.
 That Arizona jealously guards tho interests of those that confide in her has been proved over and over again. lfom the days when a fearless gov e,n nor published a printed declaration against fake mining companies. men, tioning in particular one that he be ileved to be merely a drag net for small wage earners, down to the pres soap bubble mining company, as well as the day Of the arrastra and the adobe furnace has passed away, and with it is passing that distrust which men Of means 50 often feel toward the mere territory-the frontier.
 The total value of the production Of copper, gold and silver in Arizona for the year just passed was in the neigh horhood of S55,00O, 900 Nor are these the only minerals We produce. The list Is long and includes asbestos. molybdenum. chalcedony. sapphiFes and other precious stones, as well as common table salt.

 And even with the yat auiount of mining going on, the industry is only In it's infancy here. An observant per son may watch the lines of transPOr- yation and the terminals. and he will bee, daily, carloads of new machinery -rrivinE and being speedily transport cd to the camps of Ray. Kelvin, Wen den, Bouse and tho newer mining camps that are startling the conner. cial and the mining world with their ! lchness. While some of these state mehrs may seem exaggerated to many wHG have even passed through the territory, if the most conservative will visit the different mining camps and mills in Arizona. he will agree with I=aha tAAeAs hatf AAAAlAAA sAl ltEBAA NN~ Ia A4tE territory cannot be exaggerated.
