Mohave County miner., 1912-12-07
Every Mining District
 m State Active.

duction of all metal is greater than ever before in the history of Arizona. There is not a mining district in the state that is not active. New strikes are of almost daily occurrence and work on many new properties is being started. Shut6owns, either temporary or permanent. are no longer heard of.
 The present era of mining prosper slump of 1907. During 1906 and the early part of 1907 the mining industry in Arizona reached heights of pros perity never before attained
 After the slump there was period of quiescence that lasted up to the fall of 1910. It was about that time that the outlook began to i'm prove preceptibly. Work was con- menced on number of properties that had been idle since the panic, The smelters at the copper mines, like the Old Dominion, Arizona, Shannon, Copper Queen and Calumet and Ari- zona, and United Verde began to turn out bullion to their full capacity. The curtailment of copper production was. in 1911, a thing of the past Copper was steadily climbing higher in price.
 Nov copper has been high for more than year, silver is higher than it has been for years. and the market for gold is never diminished. All that is now having it's effect upon mining in- vestments and mining activities in Arizona.
 Mining brokers in thls state are having trouble in securing the kind of properties that their clients demand. Big eastern syndicates, like the Gug- genheims and the United States Steel Corporation, are constantly on the lookout for developed mines. Capital sts usually refuse to take hold of any thing that is still prospect, but at this tune they are ready and eager to purchase anything that has visible ore supply.
 The Vulture, Tom Reeo and Gold Road mines are the principal gold pro- ducers of Arizona. But the Tom Reed and Gold Road, as we'll as several smaller gold mines, are paying big dividends. Arizona is coming into prominence as gold mining state and there is the greatest demand for gold properties. There vas time when no one thought of mining for anything but copper in Arizona, but all that is past. Even the Guggenheims, who have heretofore handled nothing but copper propositions, are now looking for gold properties and may acquire one or two at an early date.
 Oscar A. Turner, who promoted the first successful mines at Ely, New, has turned to gold once more. He has practically closed deal for the Levia- than, near Congress, which is one of the biggest low-grade gold proposi- tions in the southwest.
 Big dividends are being paid by the Sopp0t uiuSo auu all tDS COu pduleS are increasing their production as rapidly as possible. A new shelter is being built at Clifton for the Arizona Copper company and works will soon commence on the United Verde's new plant in the Verde valley The finish ing touches are being given the Ameri- can smelling and Refining company's smelter at Hayden and the Ray Con- soldated concentrator in the same camp is being improved. The Ari- zona Southwestern Copper company is installing a mill at Copperville, Mo- have county. The Calumet x Ari- zona is building new shelter at Douglas.
 Scores of mills are in operation throughout the state and more are being installed. The Vulture and Gold Road companies are increasing their reduction facilities and the Tom Reed will do so shortly.
 Advices from the eastern market centers are that the demand for Ari- zona mining securities is brisk and growing. Wall street brokers and in. vestors are taking much interest in Arizona properties. Arizona copper shares are regarded as stable and highly desirable securities.
