Volume Ii.

With this issue, the PLAIN DEALER
commences new year, its fifty first,
having with its issue of August 9th
completed half century of existence
in Howard County. All of this time it
has been owned and conducted by the
Mead family, and F. j. Mead, the
senior member of the present firm and
who works at the case every day, has
been at work in like capacity all
these years with the exception of two
trips to the West in the early gold
hunting days.
The coming year finds the PLAIN
DEALER with better equipment than
ever before in its history and with a
subscription list much larger than ever
before and larger than any of its COM
petitors. We have no glowing promises
to make for the future, but will con-
tinue to keep the PLAIN DEALER in the
lead in every respect.

Daily Arizona silver belt., 1909-11-02

the two principal mines of Bisbee (the great Copper Queen and Calumet & Ari- zona) is as low, and probably slightly lower than in the Calumet & Hecla of Michigan. It is publicly stated that the Calumet & Arizona of Bisbee is now producing at cost of 1-2 cents per pound. This statement is probably true, but refers to only a brief period and is an official statement. It seems fairly safe, however, to state the cost of production of the only two fully de- veloped and equipped mines in Bisbee at close to z cents pound At Globe and Clifton, the cost is considerably higher, but pretty certainly within 8 l-2 cents.
 It seems fairly safe to state that the average cost of produced copper for all Arizona is 7 1-2 cents per pound, and no other copper region in the world is able to produce an equal. quality of cop per at as low cost as that, nor within cent a pound of that cost.
 This is the whole secret for you of Arizona's assured pre-eminence as a producer of copper.
 Yes, Arizona can certainly hold her rate of increase for long time to come and if ample capital can be enlisted she can greatly increase her pace al most immeditely. It is true she has so far been skimming the cream of her great mines, but there is a great deal of such cream in Arizona yet to be skinned and all the other mines arc holding out well at depth.

Is WORLD BEATER SAYS
 F|Tz MAC
Gives Reasons for Suprem- acy as Low Cost Cop
 per Producer

TUCSON, Nov. 1.-The following article by Fitz,Mac, covers the situa- tion in Arizona copper and answers the question whether it is the result of natural growth and development. That Arizona will maintain her present lead and no doubt largely argument it is the opinion of the best informed cop per men in the country. Arizona s position in the copper world is assured for this generation at least, and prob ably for longer period. Ftz-Mac s article being as follows:
 Stripped of all confusing verbiage the secret of Arizona s assured supremacy in copper can be fully and correctly stated in four worlds" lowest cost of producing"
 Arizona produces her copper at a lower cost than any other region in the world.
 To avert any misunderstanding, let us restate that assertion in this way Arizona produces the sum total of her output at lower cost than any region in the world produces an equal quantity -or than any region at present known will ever be able to produce an equal quantity.
 This will prove a surprising statement to many pretty we'll posted copper ex- perts, therefore it should not be left to rest on mere assertion, and I will state thereason from the official rec ord further on.
 But the first thing to determine is what the cost of producing copper. The question looks very simple to simple minds, but it is actually very involved and there is no way of determing pre-. cisely the total cost of the output for the whole country.
 But as to individual mines it can be determined pretty closely if there is any candid desire to SO determine it and the final test in the United States is the price at which the refined copper can be laid down and sold in the city of New York (the American copper market) without any gain or loss to the producer.
 That -ule covers every i'oSsl.lo ite1 of expense and any other statement i: partial and misleading.
 That is the rule applied in my asser tion that nowhere else in the world ii an equal quantity of copper produced al as low a cost as in Arizona.
 The great advantage that Arizona pos sesses over Michigan or Montana lies il the low cost of mining arising from tn, fact that all of it's deposits lie relatively close to the surface and that the ore: are mostly very docile in treatment. Al the deposits worked up to the present have been mostly in lime, they are quite largely self ,huxing, an item of great i'm portance to cheap smelling. This is ar advantage tbat no other extensive cop per district in the world possesses.

WORK PROGRESSING ON EXTENSION ID
 COPPER HILL
Satisfactory Work Is Being Done on Heavy Rock
 Excavating

With force of 40 men and many teams at work, progress on the build ing of the road bed of the new Copper Hill branch of the Gila Valley rail road has been so rapid for the past few weeks that three-ffths of that work is now completed.
 The work of grading for the new line was commenced at the connection with the Gila Valley line, at the south end of the local yards. Work has pro gressed toward Copper Hill for dis tance of three miles, through Box can. yon to what is known as the Summit.
 The work has been difficult for a good part of the way, as much rock work has been encountered. In spite of this fact, however, the progress of the work has been entirely satisfactory according to statements made yester day by representative of the Crandall Construction company.
 Barring any unnecessary delays, the work will be completed by the first of the year, ready for the laying of the steel rails.
 The greatest difficulty which has been encountered is that of securing and equally as hard to keep. The gang which is now at work is staying with the company almost in a body and no further difficulty along this line is ex. pected.
