 Molybenite, or the suphide of mo- lybdenum, is more difficult to obtain for in most cases within this stata it is associated with copper. which ia detrimental to it, but the solution Inf the metallurgical problem of the sepa. ration of molybdenite and copper nv. rites will make valuable large demos. its
 Vanadium.
 Vanadium again is well scattered within the state. principally as the ore Vanadinite. This is found at numerous places associated with lead ore. in cochise County near Fairbanks. Gilo County. Globe district at Lockwood | 'laim Clark & Stewart claims near ] Old Dominions mine; Pima County 1 Old Yuma mine, IA miles northwest | Of Tucson; Pinal County, Mammoth mine at Schultz. Royal Dane claim. miles southwest of Oracle. Blacl, | Prince mine, Pioneer district and at 1 Kelvin; Yavapai County, near Silver l Bell mine, Big Bug district; Yuma 1 County, Red Cloud mine.
 Although vanadium has enjoyed better market than molybdenum. the ! development of this market is the one thing that has renedered its progress. What has been said regarding rnolvb- denum in Germany may be applied with equal force to vanadium. but the ! increasing uses for many kinds of steel have made a higher price and better market, but without the cor ! responding increase in the develop. ment of vanadium prospects. Arizona has vanadium to hear from
 Tungsten.
 . Tungsten is found in many parts of l Arizona. As huberite it occurs in veins and placer deposits near Ora goon, Cochise County; these pIacers are mined. In Pima County. 1t is found in quartz veins at Arivaca. As i Scheelite, 1t occurs in quartz veins north of Dragoon, associated with gold and silver at the old Maudina mine. Old Hat district and associated with Iwolframite in Santa Cruz County about 71A miles north of Nogales As wolframite, it occurs in the Whet- stone Mountains. 12 miles south of Benson, Cochise County: at Cave Creek, about 90 miles north of Phoe,, nix, Marcopa County; in the Aquarius Mountains, 30 miles southeast of ] Kingman, Mohave County; with gold and quartz in Arivaca district, Pima County; in the Tip Top mine, Brad shaw Mountain, Yavapai County.
 The situation regarding tungsten has been rather peculiar owing to , the lack of development and wishing !, 10 assure themselves of a regular sup ply. the manufacturers of tungsten i alloys have purchased and developed . their own mines within the state. . In as much as such mines are pro- - ducing considerable quantities with = the addition of many properties from which they may purchase ore, l steady supply is available although it g is not nearly up to the demand
 Molybdenum and vanadium are in . the nature of partial substitutes for tungsten: hence. the alloy manufac- { turing companies are rather loath 10 ] push the development of molybdenum = and vanadium properties which would be to the detriment of their own tung- .sten property, preferring to sell their own products at higher prices be- cause of a shortage in the supply. For D this reason, little encouragement is , given to the producers of vanadium and molybdenum from the people whom we would naturally expect to be , purchasers.
 Manganese.
 It is rather a mistaken idea that manganese ores are being sought b for in Arizona. It is found in many I places, the ore pyrolusite being found ] at Tombstone, Cochise County, in the CIifton-Norenci district, Greenlee b County, and as secondary ores in the ! Bradshaw mountains Reports have { been prevalent that there was a short 3 lage of manganese, but the prices have ] mot increased as would be expected of } short market To be of commercial ! value at the present time manganese ? Iores would have to be exceptionally pure and have exceptionally good ia lcnities for transportation. However, manganese in Arizona has a future coming-a large number of very pure
