Washington. August 1O-President
Wilson's currency plans will meet their
first real test tomorrow. when the ad-
rninistration currency bill will be laid
before a Democratic House caucus. The
bill goes in with three adverse Demo-
cratic votes from the Banking Com
mittee and with well-organized op-
position against many of its features
within the Democratic ranks
The President has been assured by
his advisers In Congress that the meas
ure can be passed in the House with
out material change; and he has not
altered his purpose TO insist upon cur
rcncy legislation at the present spe-
cial session. The House caucus is be-

The efforts OF the President and Sec

the Senate in support OF immediate
currency legislation have been less sue
cessfui than in the House. However.

considerable developments that proved
the existence Of much good ore.
Developments were carried on
throughout the northern part of Ari-
iona, and one Of the important new Op-
erations is that of dredging corpora
ton which is working in the Colorado
river north of Flagstaff, for gold.
In the Chiricahua mountains, between
Ell PaSO and Douglas, considerable rich
ore was also prOSpected and the district
contingent to ROdeO, on the Ell Paso &
Southwestern railroad, was converted
into region Of proved mineral worth
as a result of this prospecting.
Mining Production.
The production of the established
mines was larger than a year ago, the
monthly output of the Warren dis
trict smelters at Douglas averaging IS
100000 pounds of refined copper each
month. This is the biggest producing
district in the state, with the Clifton
district (CllftOn and Morencl) coming
second, Jerome third, and Globe next,
while the Ray-Hayden district will
rank fifth and closely crowd the Globe
district. The consolidation of several
important properties in the Miami dis
trict, which is really a part of the
Globe district, being only seven miles
from Globe effected during the year,
copper camps in the west
installation of mills and additional
machinery at Copper Hill, four miles
from Globe. is expected during the
coming year.
Building New SmeIter.
At Jerome, in northwestern Arizona,
the home OF the United Verde, senator
CIark's rich Arizona property, there has
been the usual steady output for the
year and work has progressed on a
new smelter in a more advantageous To-
cation,tO cost of 81, 600, 900.
Crown King, Poland and other dis
trictS in the same region as Jerome,
have shown steady gain and many ac-
tive producers have been making heavy
shipments during the year, while Con-
gress and other old time camps have
been keeping up their output.
Much new work was done in Para
disc camp during the year and oil op-
eratiOnS were pushed near Benson
continued active operations and the
mines in the district have shown steady
Improvement as a result
In the ClftOn-MOrenci district IN the
extreme southeastern corner OF Arizona
the Oldest copper district in Arizona
there has been continued steady &C
tivity during the year and the output
this year was cOnsidably above that
of last year. when the output was H.
100000 pounds.
In Clifton District.
The Arizona Copper company, with
headquarters at Clifton, and operat-
ing both at Clifton and Morenci, has
spent a large sum Of money during the
year in the construction of a new
smelter just outside of Clifton, which
VIII be completed this year a a cost Of
$4,000 600 and will have a capacity Of
$50 tons daily. It takes the place Of I

the acreage of dates. There has like
wise been a big increase in the acreage
of deciduous fruits during the year.
The increase in the ostrich farming
industry of the Salt river valley has
been another big factor in the COM
mercial life of the state. There are at
present over 5000 of these gigantic birds
in the valley around PhOeniX-SO per
cent of the ostrich population Of the
United States-and this is an increase OF
several hundred over a year ago The
birds are raised principally for their
feathers, which command a high price
in New York and other fashion CEN
ters But all Arizona products appear to
have a particular attractiveness for the
eastern consumer. as the Arizona can
taloupe, orange. lemon and date bring
higher prices in the market than any
other product of a similar nature.
Sugar Beet Industry.
The sugar beet in the Salt river val
ley is another big crop and plans are
under way to put in a bigger acreage
than ever during the present year, al
though the production during the year
Just closed was enormously large. the
refinery that cost 100000 and has a
of 800 tons Of beets daily, is
operated at Glendale, near Phoenix, and
the company will increase its capacity
next year.
In livestock and sheep. the increase
Curing the past year over the previous
years, was marked, and the conditions
were particularly favorable.
The output of timber from the virgin
forests of the new state was also the
largest on record
The banking business of the territory
was much larger in 1911 than ever be-
fore, and the general financial and
