 Character of the Bulletin.
 The forthcoming bulletin was pre-. pared under the supervision of Mir. William N. Steuart, chief statistician for manufactures, and it will be re. printed without change as a part of the compendium of the census for Arizona and in the final reports of the Thirteenth Census.

IL also pre- sents tables in which the industries of the territory as a whole and few leading industries are classed by character of ownership, size of es- tablishments number of wage earn CTS, prevailing hours of labor, etc.

These establishments turned out products to the value of sjO.257,O00 to produce which mater ias costing s33, ,6O0,oOO were consum' cd. The value added by manufsc ture was thus $l6,657,0oO, which fig urc best represents the net wealth created by manufacturing operations during the year.
 There was much greater devei' opment during the five year per iod l9Oi.l9O9 than during the prior period 1899 1904. While the number of establishments increased s4 per cent and the value of products " per cent from 1904 to 1909, the av' craze number of wage earners in- creased only 34.4 per cent and the value added by manufacture 2a.o per cent. The comparatively low percentage of increase in value add cd by manufacture is due largely to the figures reported for the copper smelting and refining industry ss it was not always practicable 'o .eparate mining and manufacturing expenses.
