The cumulative effect of the foregoing is made manifest by gen eral speeding up of mining and milling operations throughout the country. More mining properties are Dems worked at this time here than ever be- fore, and more ore is now going to mill and shelter than in many previ- ous years.
 Ore Production Effects.
 Increased production of ore has ne Icessitated numerous alterations and additions to mine and mill machinery more particularly the latter. To ill- ustrate: The pronounced increase in ore production al the Bluebell and De Soto mines, owned by the Consolidated Arizona Smelling company. has made necessary an increase in the capacity of the oil-flotation plant in the con- pany's shelter at Humboldt. The present plan is to raise the efficiency of the plant from 25O to 600 tons of ore per day, but it is stated an even larger addition 10 the Notation auxili- ary may be made.
 Production of Mines.
 The company's BluebeI mine is now shipping to the Humboldt smelter an average of six carloads of copper ore daily. The company's De Soto mine is shipping four carloads of ore per day to the same plant One shift of min CTS has been laid off temporarily at the De Soto because the increase in ore production is in excess of the cap- acity of the aerial tram which conveys the ore from the mine to Middleton station, one mile distant This defect is to be Temedied by the time the cap acity of the smelter has been ncreas- ed.
 Copper Outlook Bright.
 The prospects are bright for a long sustained copper market at prevailing or higher prices. Eastern advices are practically unanimous in so predicting. What may reasonably be accepted as an even more potent sign of future copper prosperity is the decision of former United States Senator Clark to largely increase the capacity of the Clarkdale smelter and the output of the United Verde mine. The allied plants are two of Yavapai county's most caluable assets The United Verde mine is one of the largest pro ducers of copper ore in the world: and as the Clarkdale shelter handles the larger portion of the United Verde's tonnage. it follows that the Clarkdale IS considerable of a smeter. The fact that former Senator Clark. who doubt less is in close touch with the present copper situation and with future cop- per prospects, has ordered the improve ments mentioned. may be accepted as indicative of continued high prices for the red metal even though the Euro pean war suddenly terminates.
 Valuable Copper Prospects.
 In the vicinity of the United Verde mine are located the Little Daisy (Un- tied Verde EXtension). the Jerome Verde and the Green Monster copper properties. The Little Daisy. already in the shipping division. presents strong promise of developing into a replica of it's famous neighbor. The rapid advance in the price of it's shares of late would appear 10 presage the arrival of that strong bull movement in the low and medium priced coppers which is being predicted by New York and Boston brokerage houses. Tn less than six months United Verde EXten- sion has advanced from 8 to upward of S25 per share.
 Green Monster Active.
 The Green Monster Mining company owner of an extensive copper acreage in the same ore belt as the United Verde mine. will issue 5000 treasury shares on April | The property is considered one Of the best copper pros poets in Arizona and is very popular with the mining men of the South west. So popular. in fact, that the en-
