ARIZONA'S WEALTH

The special mining and resources
edition of Cochise county and Ari-
iona issued by the Douglas Interna-
tional is the most complete and in
terestine compilations on the subject
ever prepared in Arizona. 1t is ed
tied by Mr. George H. Kelly, editor,
III magazine form, covering 60 pages
with beautiful illustrations, of not only
the city of Douglas, but of the great
mines, mining camps and reduction
plants throughout the state. Among
the interesting features is the state
ment of Arizona's mineral production.
Eleven copper producing companies
alone are credited with paying during
the present year (1916) twenty-five
million dollars in dividends, the COM
raries being capitalized at $4,000
coo. The market value of Arizona
metals in 1915 is estimated at $685.
Isl, 600. Thirty thousand men are
employed in the mining industry, and
the annual wages paid are over thirty
five million dollars. Over $200,OO0,-
900 dividends are of record to date,
raid by Arizona mines. Dividends
pad from gold, silver and lead pro-
dnction of early days are estimated
at $780, 100000. Total estimated pro-
fits paid by Arizona mines from all
metals to date amounts to $315,000,-
600. Estimated tons of copper ore

timated recovery from ore tonnage in

1t seems a pity that the new state
of New Mexico has not been given
similar publicity. Possibly it will
some day, when its people realize that
such mining publicity pays, and is
bringing millions of dollars into Ari-
IONA for mining purposes, and it will
do the same for New Mexico, if the
people ever wake up to realize that it
paws to advertise its mining re-
sources.

THE Future oE COPPER

Many misgiyings are heard as to
the future of the price of copper, for
it would be a sudden shock to the min
crs of the state if copper should sud-
denly drop and the high prices now
being paid, $3.50 per day, dropped to
So. so. There should be no fear on
that score, however, for it is prac-
tically certain that almost all of the
large copper producers are selling
large tonnages of the metal for de-
livery into 1917, and for some months
have had their entire production sold
for the year 1916. Constant dividends
seem assured for a considerable per-
iod, and the present high wages will
undoubtedly be in force for many
months to come.
The sliding scale of wages is but
another method of profit sharing I'M
satisfactory, on account of it's f1uctu-
atoms and comparative uncertainty,
the labor unions of the west are hav-
ing a period of the highest known
wages, and unprecedented prosperity,
due entirely to the profit sharing sys-
TEN.
Although the sliding scale of wages
applied to nothing over 20 cent cop
per. the mining companies of the
state voluntarily added additional
profits, making the sliding scale reach
10 25 cents, and many of these same
companies have since increased that
scale whit the increased prices.

PASSES BEYOND
After Long and Painful Illness, Form
err Territorial Treasurer is Called by
Maker; Was Well Known in Arizona

E. E. Kirkland, former territorial
treasurer, died this week at st. Louis,
Mo-, of cancer of the liver of which he
had been a sufferer for several years.
NJ. Kirkland, accompanied by Mrs.
kirkland left for the east about ten
days ago, intending to go first to Elk
celsior Springs, Mo-, but his condition
was so bad that sister met him at
Kansas City and took him to her
home in ST. Louis.
1t was the intention of Mr.. kirkland
to spend the summer and fall in the
east He expected to visit Former
Governor Brodie in New Jersey and
later to go into Canada.
Mr.. Kirkland was about fifty-five
years of age and had resided in Ari-
IONA for nearly forty years. He was
first employed at the Vulture mine
where he conducted a store. Later he
engaged in the cattle business in
Kirkland valley. When Governor Bro
die was appointed to office Mr.. kris
land was named as territorial treasur-
rer and he held that office not only
through that administration but also
through those of Governor Kibbey and
Governor Sloan until the admission of
the territory to statehood. There were
few men in Arizona more widely
known and more highly esteemed
than Ed Kirkland.
