MINES, MINING LOCAL STOCKS AND COPPER

[ have been made. The smelling ques-
 ton in Yavapai is rather a puzzling
 one. the United Verde at Clarkdale.
 and the Consolidated Arizona at
 Humboldt, already are taking care of
 about all the ore that can be handled
 without enlarging the plants. Shelter at Prescott
 Residents of that district. however. have placed considerable faith in Eng fish capitalists who have announced their intention of building a shelter I at Prescott. Representatives of the syndicate have been looking over the
 entire Yavapai field and in reports to
 the Londan men who are back of the proposition. have stated that they are confident there are enough properties in the district that will be producing by the time the shelter is completed to make it paying proposition al most from the start. The city of Prescott has granted the smelting company a site for its plant on the city farm. about four miles out of Prescott, and arrangements have all ready ben made by the company's rep
 resGntatives to adjust any damage
 that may possibly be done to recla- nation and colonization projects now under way by the construction of the shelter.
 Sonora Mines Producing
 The condition of the mining indus try in Sonora at present is better than for months and more than S2.- 100000 worth of ore was shipped to Douglas through Agua Prieta last month. General P Elias Gales and Governor Adolpho de la Huerta. of Sonora, have done everything in their power to further the industry and. with the internal conditions of the Mexican state slowly becoming nor nal, the mining game is again getting on its feet in northern Mexico. Good wages are being paid for labor at Can anea, Nacozari and other eenters of the industry. and the next 12 months should bring about a remarkable change for the better in mining.
 What might have proved a serious stumbling block for the development of mines in Sonora was avoided the first of this month when a decree was issued by the powers that be at Mexi- co City that all mining machinery. tools and various food stuffs should be placed on the free list of Mexican imports. It is believed that this will prove encouraging to promoters and will also keep the cost of living in Sonora down to minimum.
 Chile Production Big.
 During the first ten months of the year Chile produced about S4.OO0.O00 pounds. Its costs are very low and arc given in Wall Street as cents a pound, while its ore reserves at pres ent have a capacity sufficient for 300 years. It is proposed to enlarge the plant to bring the daily milling capa- city to 30.000 tons. and the ore re- serves in sight on that enlarged out put are good for B years. Chile's output in October was 4.542.000 pounds, or more than 500,0O0 pounds greater than in September
 The output of the Greene Cananea Copper Company last month was 6.Q30,000 pounds of copper. new high record and an increase of 1.13O,- 900 pounds over the production in September. The output has shown a . healthy increase since January's pro- duction, 3.34S.OO0 pounds. In June . and July the mines were worked inter | and with Mexican labor, and yet the production in those two months was 4.500.O0O and 1000. 900 pounds respectively. In the ten months ending October 31. Green-Can- anea produced 49.652OOO pounds of copper and on the basis of the produc- tion last month the output in 1917 should be approximately $500 900 pounds In addition to the copper. produced last month l77,999 ounces of silver and 915 ounces of gold.
