camps. The recent completion of the large smelting plants at Clifton. the Calumet and Arizona at Douglas. the United Verde at Clarllsdale the A S. and R. Co. smelter at Hayden and the contemplated erection of a large smelling plant at Miami by the h. ternational Smelling and Refining Co. Will largely increase the copper pro duction. The Inspiration concentrat- ing mill and the future one in Ajo and the Copper Queen mill to be erected at Bisbee will enormously swell this copper output.
 During 1913 the concentrate yielded 147, 7,32l,295 pounds of the copper out put, and crude ore shipped to the smelters produced 255,S67,5O9 pounds of copper. Cochise county, which in cludes the Warren or Bisbee district, produced 165, ,103,S54 pounds of cop- per, against 147,64766l pounds in 1912. Greenlee county, embracing Copper mountain and Greenlee dis tricts of the Clifton -Morenci region, produced 69,446,5G0 pounds in 1913 as against 76,S4S,229 pounds in 1912.
 Yavapai county, including the Verde district, produced 3S,719,073 lbs of copper, against 34,o43,OO5 pounds in 1912.
 Gila county, including Globe and Miami districts, produced 71,609 SAT pounds of copper in 1913, against 63, 969,423 pounds in 1912. In Pinal and ha q schist and porphyry copper ores yield ded S7,073,406 pounds of copper in 1913, against 6S,753,553 pounds ir 1912. The output of Greenlee county
 is largely of the same class of orc deposits.
 Arizona Lead Output
 The output of lead in Arizona 1T
 1913 was 16,144,772 pounds valued al $710,37O against 6,S06,443 pounds 1T
 1912. valued at $306,29
 Cochise county was credited witt 7,S44,204 pounds valued at $345,14j as against 3,766,S67 pounds in 1912 valued at S169,959. The larger part
 came from the vicinity of the copper
 mines at Bisbee and was shipped tC the Fl Paso shelter.
 Mohave county followed Cochist
 with 5,315,646 pounds of lead; Pima county next with 1,015,S03 pounds; and Santa Cruz county with 541. .52. pounds. Concentrates yielded 5,392, 323 pounds of lead and 10,752,44l pounds Of lead were contained il crude ore shipped to smelters. -E In 1913 the spelter (Zinc) produc- ton from Arizona ores was 9,42S,06' pounds valued at $527,972, against ar
 output of S,757,243 pounds in 191- valued at $604,319 The mines al
 Union Pass and Chloride, in MohavC
 county, yielded 7,O31,40O pounds ot
 speltcr against 111,737 pounds in 191-
 principally from the mines recently purchased at San Xavier by the Elm
 pire Zinc company. Production ol
 zinc was also recorded in CochisC and Yavapai counties.
 Arizona Has 438 Producing Mines
 There were in 1913 in Arizona, 43>
 producing mines, yielding gold, silver l copper lead or zinc and the tota
 quantity of ore sold and treated was | 1881 S62 short tons, an increase oi l,091,7S0 tons. Greenlee county alonI 1 had eighteen producers and it's meta
 output for the year amounted to $10,- i SO6450.
 Arizona's Gigantic Reduction Plans
 Arizona has eight great copper
 smelling plants and six minor plants | $25,000000 The annual payroll az gregates about one- third that amount
 Arizona has also seven great copper
 ore concentrating plants and also
 150 ore reduction plants of various sizes, the largest being the Colo
 Roads stamp mill and the Tom Reet mill in Mohave county with daily ca- pacity of 300 tons. There are sever great ore concentrating plants anL | two or three more are to be erecte( | in the near future, such as the In | spiratiOn mill at Miami, the Concen- | trating mill of the Copper Queer
 company at Bisbee, and the Calumei l Ajo mountains, each of which vii
 cost over $2,0O0,0O0 each. Severa | others are planned.
 The smelting plants are as follows
 the Copper Queen shelter at Douglas the largest in the world under q
 single roof, employing 1000 men; the
 new Calumet and Arizona, at Doug | las; the new shelter of the Arizona l Copper company, at Clifton, recently completed at a cost of nearly three
 million dollars; the Shannon Copper
 shelter at Clifton; the Detroit Cop l per company shelter at Morenci; the old Dominion Copper company smell
 ter at Globe; the United Verde Cop per company smelting, Clarksdale; | the American Smelling and Refining
 company smelter at Hayden; oper- ating for the Ray Copper company
 ores; the Humboldt smelter of the l Consolidated Arizona Smelling com pany in Yavapai-with a capacity at Swansea is now idle. At Miami there is in course of construction one of the largest smelting plants in that state, of the International Smelt- | ing and Refining company, now said
 to be controlled by stockholders of
 the Anaconda Copper company of Butte, Montana.
 Arizona-Concentrat Plants The concentrating mill of the Ray Consolidated Copper company at
 Hayden is the largest one in Arizona
 and one of the largest in the world.
 It has eight units, each with daily
