Mohave County miner., 1913-01-18
Years Resume at CourtIand.

ne IOllOWlng resume or the results for last year at Courtland and other points in the Turquoise district is talk en from the Courtland Arizonan:
 Again we look back over the past performances and find that for the year of 1912 Courtland has made very creditable showing, having ship ped III cars of ore, I'll going out since the first day of July.
 For the year of 1911, the production of the camp was 462 cars, and the gross production of the Great Western Copper company, as recorded at the office of the county recorder was 323,- 4OSS or an average of 700.00S per car, but during the early part of 1912 the price of copper advanced fully 50 per cent so that it will be easily seen that the claim of the Arizonan that the camp would produce more than one millions dollars during 1912 is easily borne out.
 One year ago, we stated that the pay roll of the camp was S,50OS per month, while now we are prepared to state that 2O,OO0$ will not complete the monthly pay envelope.
 While the shipments into the camp over the Arizona Eastern are not avail able for the last SIX months, for this weeks issue, yet we have a total of 36S car loads shipped into Courtland during the year, in which we find l2 coal, 8 hay, Il ice, 6S timbers and lumber, 3l oil explosives. s flour, 6 corn, l wire, } machinery, cement, barley and 2l3 merchandise, while the total over the two roads for 1911 was 237 car loads.
 With III cars of ore out of Court land, 1900 out of Gleeson and Pearce shipping PIP cars of tailings to the Douglas smelter, this Turquoise dis trict is making showing that is creditable to say the least and is bound to attract more attention to this portion of Cochse county, the banner county of the state.
 The year 1913 promises much more activity than during the year Just closed, and we look forward to the next twelve months to see many changes made in this district as well as others. During the year, the new Commonwealth company have con- pleted their plans for the erection of the new mill. on which the work of preparing foundations are being push. ed as fast as consistent with good work and the close of the year will see modern mill working on the ores of that famous mine. Here in Court land the Leadville company are fast preparing for extensive work besides the other two companies that are steadily operating, and at Gleeson the Tojon Mining company are at present cutting a station at the 425.foot level preparing for active work and will add considerable to the output of that camp.
 And again in Courtland George M Cummings, one of the owners of a large number of claims west of the camp reports that he has just given bond and lease for two years, to Chicago outfit on l4 claims, the price agreed upon being 60,0O0S while he retains another group of 10 claims that are being negotiated for.
 While the ore shipments out of this camp show an increase of nearly POO per cent over the year of 1911, every line of business in camp is reporting equal or even greater advances and our train service has been increased to daily service, and the Arizona Eastern now has two trains each way daily, while year ago that line run three trains per week, with a motor car four days while the E. P. x s. w. run trains here only on Mondays and Fri. days.
 No vacant houses in the camp with the hotels full all of the time, and everybody working, tells the whole story.
