 Production of gold in the world since the discovery of America has been something over S13, 100000. 900. which ia for period of AIS years. The products of the farms in value in the United States in the last half dozen years have averaged considerably more than half the production of gold in all those four centuries and more. These statistical facts show the principal source of the worlds wealth and of the maintenance of human existance.

 A phenomenon in the mining his tory of Bisbee was a recent ore strike in the Sacramento Hill of the Copper Queen when ore was found in porphyry, hitherto considered practically an i'm possibility. Thirty feet of this ore. said by miners to be a good grade of oxide, has been gone through already. The discovery of this body once rhore seems to set at naught the theories of mining engineer. concerning forma- tions in this district. Hitherto it has been thought pru uctically impossible for ore to occur in any other formation than lime, and although porphyry has been considered fine indication of mine raliz ltion other wise it was useless.
 Don't forget that Arizona is hecom. ing the most widely known of all the mining states of the Union, it's con- sistent high production of copper. gold. silver, lead and zinc, attracting min ing investors from all sections of the globe. While American investors were passing up the mines of Arizona for those of Mexico, European investors were disbu' sing millions yearly in divi dends from the copper mines of the territory. Now. the big fellows of the United States are looking the territory over for likely property, and do not appear to care just what the metal is, so long as there is a possibility of a dividend behind it when properly f- nanced and equipped. Arizona with in five years will be the banner pro- ducer of the base and precious metals, every part of the territory experience ing boom in it's mining industry. -Mohave County Miue.
