Arizona Metal Production ln 1913.

at SEQ, ,O27, against $67, ,050,7 ,784 in 1912. The increase in value is due mainly to the greater production of copper.
 The production of gold in Arizona in 1913 was 194, ,656.69 ounces, valued at $4, OPS, 911, an increase in value of S26l, 7O1. Of this output, $50, ,691 came from placers, $2, 553, 426 from dry or silicious ore, and $1,332,O ,O3S from copper ore. The largest production of gold was made from Mohave County STA, LAY in 1913, against $1, S99, 131 in 1912. Gold from ores amalgamated amounted to $S02, l20 and from ores cyanided $2,OO7, 7O4. Concentrates contained $3O3, O9O and ores shipped to smelters $1, 362, 5O4.
 Silver from Arizona ores increased from 3,49O, 387 ounces, valued at $2, 146, 5SO in 1912, to 3,94S, O91 ounces, valued at 2, 384, ,647$ in 1913. Of this output, 2,8S5, 115 ounces came from copper ore, 392, 413 ounces from dry or siliceous ore, and 498, 457 ounces from lead ore. Bullion recovered from gold and silver ores, principally by cyanidation, yielded 72, 899 ounces of silver in 1913, concen- trates produced 393, 553 ounces, and crude ore shipped to smelters contained 3,4O3,OO8 ounces. Cochise County mines produced 2, 127, 191 ounces of sil- yer in 1913, against 1862, GA ounces in 1912, and Yavapai County S54, 049 ounces in 1913, against 748,S7 ounces in 1912.
 The copper produced from Arizona ores increased from 365, O3S, 649 pounds, valued at 6O,231, 377 in 1912, to 4O7,- 919, 4O2 pounds, valued at 63, 22S, 127$ in 1913. Thus in 1913 Arizona continues to rank first among the copper pro- ducing States. Concentrates yielded 147, 327, 295 pounds of the output, and crude ore shipped to the smelter pro- duced 255, 1867, 509 pounds. Cochise County, which includes the Warren or Bisbee district, produced 165, 103,s5 pounds of copper, against l47, 7,654, 661 pounds in 1912. Greenlee County, em- bracing Copper Mountain and Greenlee districts of the Clifton Morenci region, produced 69, 466, 56O pounds of copper, against 76,s4S, 299 pounds in 1912. Yavapai County, including the Verde district, produced SS, 7l9,979 pounds of copper, against 34,O43, OO5 pounds in 1912 and 36, 1O3,64 pounds in 1911. Gila County, including the Globe and Miami districts, produced 71,609, SAY pounds of copper in 1913, against 69,- 969, 423 pounds in 1912, and 49,226, 341 pounds in 1911. In Pinal and Gila Counties, the so-called low-grade schist and porphyry ores yielded 87,O73, 4O6 pounds of copper, against 6S, 753, 553 pounds in 1912 and 30, 666, 5l5 pounds in 1911. The copper output of Greenlee County is largely from the same class of deposits.
 The output of lead in Arizona in 1913 was l6, IA, TYP pounds, valued at TO- 370$, against 6,8O6,44 pounds, valued at 3O6, 29O$ in 1912 and 1O,274, 552 pounds in 1911. Cochise County was credited with 7,S44,2 pounds, valued at 345, 145$, against 3,776, S67 pounds, valued at 169, 959S in 1912. The largest part came from the vicinity of the cop per mines in the Warren district. Mo- have County followed with 5,315, 646 pounds, Pima County, L,O15, SO3 pounds, and Santa Cruz County with 541, 522 pounds. Concentrates yielded 5,392,- 323 pounds of lead, and 1O,752, 499 pounds of lead were contained in crude ore shipped to smelters.
 In 1913 the spelter production from Arizona zinc ores was g, 42S, OCT pounds, valued at 527, SIPS, against an output of 8, 75S, 243 pounds, valued at GOA, 319$ in 1912 and 4,562, ,9S4 pounds in 1911. Mines at Union Basin and Chloride, in Mohave County, yielded 7,O31, 400 pounds of spelter in 1913, against s. BOA, ,462 pounds in 1912 and 4,476, 542 pounds in 1911. Zinc ore mined in Pima County yielded 2,127, 56S pounds of spelter, against Ill, ,737 pounds in 1912. Production of zinc were also re- corded in Cochise and Yavapai counties.
 There was 438 mines producing gold, silver, copper, lead, or zinc in Arizona in 1913, against 445 in 1912, and the total quantity of ore sold and treated was 7,931, 1862 short tons, an increase of 1,091, 780 tons.
