Tom Reed. Gold Roads, and Vulturc.
The Tom Reed output was about the
same as in 1912, the Gold Roads ha
a slight increase, ana the Vulture a
substantial increase. In Yuma county
operations were resumed at the La
Fortuna mine.
The mine production of silver in
creased about per cent, amounting
to more than 3,773.000 ounces, against
! B. is0,3S7 ounces in 1912. Most OF
the silver was derived from copper
ore, but in 1913 the increase is due
largely to shipments Of lead ore and
! the concentrates from Coehise and
Mohave counties. Much silver also
comes from siliceous ore. About 500
tons Of ore per month was shipped
from the Tombstone property and a
large tonnage of old tailngs was taken
from the Commonwealth dump. A
S50-ton cyanide mill at this property
was completed during the year.
] With a mine production of about
4l5,59S,000 pounds Of copper IN 1913
Arizona led all other copper-produc-
/ ing states. The output in 1918 shows
ian increase of more than 100000
pounds, or about / 2 per cent over that
of 1912. which was 3G5,03S,649
pounds. As the price Of copper was
slightly lower in 1913, the value OF
/ the metal increased only about 49,
+ 100000. There were eleven active
copper mining plants in the state. AMI
/ ore and concentrate were also sent tc
six copper and lead plants in other
states. or the former, the greatest
