What Arizona Brings Us

Arlzona, soon to become the forty. seventh star on the flag of our glorious Union, brings us an area of 113, ,O20 square miles (72,- 332, 800 acres), enIitling it to rank as sixth in size among the states.
 Arizona also brings us vast mineral resources ofcopper, gold, silver, coal las yet but little worked), lead, mica, fuorspar, molybdenum, nickel ores, marble, limestone, granite, sandstone in limitless quantities, chalcedony, tungsten, turquoise, vanadium, garnet (pyrope) and other min erals, and there are numerous hot and mineral springs.
 Arizona brings us some of the grandest scenery in the world; the world famous Grand Canyon
 
 of the Colorado and the wonder ful chalcedony forest near Hol- brook, Navajo county, with trunks four feet thick cracked into exquisitely colored blocks, being prominent features!
 Arizona brings us valley after valley of marvelously fertile lands, experiment demonstrating that in the southern part, under favorable conditions, the yield per acre is 215O pounds for wheat, 4OOO to 5000 pounds for potatoes, 1900 pounds for tomatoes, 5000 pounds for strawberries, 27 ,000 pounds for melons and 1735 for corn. Under the reclamation work now in large and active progress by the federal govern ment, total of ten million acres, or forty times the present area under cultivation, will be re- claimed and put to marvelously productive use. The staple crops are alfalfa, wheat, barley, sor- ghum, kaffir corn, root crops, sugar beets, green vegetables and small fruits of every variety, apricots, grapes, oranges Judged by many to be the finest in the world), lemons, ngr, almonds, olives, etc. Experiments in the cultivation of Egyptian cotton fof which the United States has to import about ten million dol lars worth year) are also being made, and it is expected that vast tracts of alkali lands in the south. hitherto believed to be waste, can be utilized for date culture, says F. w. Hodge Uf the Smithsonian Institution in Amer icana.'
 Arizona brings us a climate which, though hot in the sum- mer, is not very oppressive, while in winter it is usually delightful.  Heavy snows occur in the moun- tains north, and sharp frosts are frequent, even in the Salado and Gila valleys; but nowhere are the mountains perpetually snow capped. In recent years Arizo- ma has become popular resort for those suffering from pulmo- nary tuberculosis and catarrhal ailments.
 Arizona brings us mountains and meSaS in the north which are generally covered with nu. tritious grasses, forming excel lent pasturage for cattle and sheep, while irrigated pastures in the south afford means fol fattening for market. Ostrich farming, some 5000 birds a Phoenix and Yuma, has become profitable industry, particular ly adjacent to the city of Phoe nix-the capital-to- be of the state till at least 1925. (The ostricl

KEANE WONDER PUTS
OUT BULLION STEADILY

As regularly as the months roll
around. the Keane Wonder mill makes
its usual cleanup, and about the same
regularity prevails in the amount of
bullion produced, says the Rhyolite
Herald.
The twenty stamp mill grinds out
every month from $1100 to $1,000 for
each stamp, depending, of course, upon
the average value of the ore.
For the past six months, this aver
age has yielded about 80 per cent in
crease over the previous six months,
the present average running from $lS
to $40 per ton, which is a fine grade
of milling ore.
Wednesday, Homer Wilson and
John Keith, manager and superintend-
ent respectively, came to Rhyolite
with a partial product of the month of
April, amounting to about $4,000.
While this represents the full
month yield Of the mill by amalga
nation, it includes the yield of only
three weeks by cyanide lixiviation.
The bullion was very good, being Of
a high degree of f~neness.
Everything is progressing smoothly
both in the mine and mill, with the
approach of summer heat making itself
felt.
Mr.. Wilson has almost completed a
full detailed report of the operations of
the mine and mill since the starting of
reduction, particularly for the informa-
ton of stockholders. In another week
or two this report viii be printed, and
mailed to all interested, when every.
one will receive %anxiously looked for
