CochiSe Is Leader

When it is desired Go think in large figures we can think of Cochise coun- ty. what it has done and what it will do. Cochise county, the home ot the earliest and biggest copper mines Of the state mines situated all over the county with a little agriculture sand wiched. has long been the leader in the states production, but with the advances made in recent years its honors are shortly to be contested by Gila county
 In size Cochise is one of the smaller counties of the state. as a rectangular corner in the southeastern part of the state. But Cochise county is the richest from the tax commissioners point of view Historically, Cochise could write a mighty interesting book
 Warren District First.
 The most important district is the Warren District. a little belt @ few miles square, about ten miles north of the international boundary War ren has produced many millions and
 
 the location of the Copper Queen mine, the Calumet & Arizona the Shattuck, and innumerable other smaller properties.
 Historic Tombstone.
 North of Bisbee and a little south west of the center of the county is Tombstone. historic settlement made famous in the blood and thunder days of Arizona and probably its most notable gold and silver camp. Tomb stones book was written. closed, opened again. followed by another chapter and closed again. Again the book has been opened and this time to remain open until a considerable period of it's history and production is added
 In the northern part of the county we must mention the Dragoon noun tains and the Dos Cabezos mountains. the Mascot mine, the Commonwealth mine and many others each adding their portion to the richness of Co., Chise county
 Fifty-one Producers.
 Fifty-one producers in the county shipped 1559,S74 tons of ore in 1913, an increase of almost 179O0O tons. with a total value of S2S.O323S4. Gains were made in the output of all the metals with the exception of gold. which decreased from Sg103l5 to SSO8.095. The silver yield for 1913 was valued at $l,284S23 and the copper production was 1651O3.854 pounds of the red metal. valued at S25.591. .Og7. Over 10000 tons of lead ore were shipped to Fl Paso and produced al. most s,0OOOOO pounds of lead. All of the above ore except 100000 tons was produced by twelve operators. these twelve producing alone 1,116S43 tons valued at over $2G,OO0OOO, and all this from the Warren District
 "Arizon's Treasure House"
 The Warren District has been truth fully named "Arizona's Treasure House" In its history from 1881 tc date the Copper Queen company has mined over a billion tons of ore. has paid in dividends about S55.OOO 900 and has distributed in wages almost Sl70,000O00. The Calumet and Ari zona in its shorter history has dis tributed almost S2O,OOOOOO in wages These two mines employ about 6OOC men and their activities keep up the cities of Bisbee, Warren and Douglas
 Ten or dozen years ago ther, were those who would venture {, prophecy the termination Of the lif, of the district, but now none can b, found so pessimistic as to express belief that it will end within the nex two or three generations. The ex plorations Of the Calumet & Arizon. 10 the south have produced possibni ties almost unbelievable.
