 about SA9239ll; silver at S2,GS4647; lead at s7l0.00O and zinc st s527,972. Lead has generally been an accompa- niment in more or less quantities in the surface ores of copper, silver and gold veins.
 Regarding zine, Arizona has the largest producer of this metal in the southwest. viz: the Golconda mine in Mojaye county. The Copper Queen has the distinction at its reduction plant at Douglas of having the largest plant in the world under one roof The mine of this company alone has pro duced during its existence @ total of 1176.71S gO5 lbs of copper Co Jan uary. 1914 It is difficult to under stand such large figures. but besides its copper production 1t has also to its credit a large and continuous output of lead, gold and silver the two lat ter metals being found iu more or less quantities in association with most of the copper ores in Arizona. Such mines as the last named and others like Jerome have immense ore reserves and tremendous areas Of un- developed ground. msuring many years of future output and activity We have Globe, Clifton district and many otEm properties coming into activity. with prolonged lives before them. Take the porphyries, as they are called. or disseminated ore bod ics .as examples The Ray treats 1000 tons of ore from it's mine per day. the Miami plant now under constuc- ton. will have a capabili-y in treat meot of 10000 tons per diem. These low.erade coppers have long lives be- fore them. For instance, Che mspira- tior has an ore reserve oi 75'O'o.eo' tors and an estimated life Of 20 years Miami 20,3o0000 tons IS years.

In adal- tion to these tonn2ges already blocked out. it unquestionably can be sup posed that additional large tonnaFes will be developed during the working of all these properties There is no similar area in the world today chat produces SO much copper as Ariaon2' and it is wei known tha, ,t leads all states in Inc red m tal production and by the facts given above it is pla.n Co be seen she win retain and increase that lead for many years t2 come
 Eut outside ol our metal production WIG have other non-metalic sub stances that are going 10 be important 10 Arizona iu the near years to come
 We have in our boundaries large untouched deposits of gypsum, lime stone and marble the latter Including some of tue lorg st and finest depos its in the world. Then We have sand stone. granite, mia and slate, anC large coal areas that have not ye been worked In the raror metal. there is tungsten molybdenum, van adium and quicksilver So far le" precious stones have been discovered in Arizona. The turquois property n Maiave county IS now owned by Ill fany Sons. New York. In addition t' uruuoise there is chrysoDhrase Q varied colonngs cream, lavender pale green and other tints These. n' doubt win receive more attention a gem stones in the near future
 With Che above enumeration it wil be readily seen that ge have stat Of varied and great productiFenes. and for years to come Arizona VII be standard of greatness even b'
