H | Prospect Within the State.
 PHOENIX, April 22-A new depart ment has been opened by the Ari- zona Chapter of the American Mining l Congress. It is an information de partment.
 The officers of the Chapter hope be-
 fore long to have on file reliable and
 up-to-date information about practi- cally every mine and prospect in the state of Arizona. To this end they are issuing general request to own CTS to send all essential infornation they are willing to disclose about their holdings to the head office, 117 North
 Second Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona.
 Upon request a blank, to be filled out and returned, will be furnished.
 Every day we receive inquiries about mining properties and about mining districts, or opportunities to invest in mines of certain character, said Secretary John H. Robinson. These inquiries come from all parts of the United States and even from foreign countries. Each one is ans wered carefully Sometimes we have been little slow in replying to let ters of inquiry because we had first | to gather the desired information from the most reliable sources avail able.
 Our desire is to have accurate in- f<@, +, ic 0fG oh all mining properties and districts in the state. Then when we receive an inquiry we can reply without any de lay whatever, giving out the informa- ton exactly as furnished to us and in all cases, of course, stating its source Our conviction is that this will do a great deal to stimulate min ling in Arizona because it will aid the prospective investor in obtaining data regarding available properties and will enable the owner to get in touch with the man who has money to in vest The intention of the Chapter is not to act as broker in any sense of the word but merely to be a friendly medium in bringing investor and own CT together, to their mutual profit. Al ready several important deals have been consummated that are directly traceable to the work of the Chap ter.
 Tt Is not only in regard to mines that we receive inquiries. The Chapter has been called upon to ans wer questions about many other in- dustrfes in Arizona and has done so with the greatest of cheerfulness, for the aim of the organization is to ad- vance the interests of Arizona in every possible way. This office is glad to receive, file and disseminate information regarding any industry that is carried on. or can be carried on, within the state"
 The membership roll of the Arizona Chapter shows steady and satfsfac- tory increase. At present there are over 400 members in good standing and more are joining daily. Local sections have been organized in Globe and Tucson and both are in HOurISh1ng condition.
 Highly encouraging news of the general condition of the mining in- dustry throughout the state is being received at the Chapter headquarters Zinc and copper are soaring in price and many mining men expect the red metal to go to twenty cents a. pound shortly. Copper mines that have been wholly or partially shut down since last fall are resuming on their former basis. The strong de- mand for gold mines, which became so noticeable in the course of the winter, continues.
