 PRESCOTT, Ariz.. Dec 30.-Copper gold, silver. tungsten, lead and zinc to the value of s32,2O2.12 were pro- duced in Yavapai county during the and value follows: Pounds of copper. 1OS. S.62s.e 500; total value. s27,157. 400.
 Ounces of gold, 145.s64; total value. s2,567,624.
 Ounces placer gold. 1000; total val ue, s6O,O00.
 Ounces of silver, S.6s6,02s; total value. s2,297,1O2
 Lead and zinc concentrates, total value, s100,000.
 Tungsten. $29,00O.
 Grand total, $32,202,126.
 The total value of the ores treated is based upon copper at p cents per pound; gold reclaimed at smelters at s19 per ounce; gold taken from plac- CTS at s15 per ounce, and silver at 621a cents per ounce. The values placed on lead and zinc concentrates and on tungsten in the foregoing table are estimates. and apply only to ship ments made to smelling points out side of Yavapai county.
 Gold and silver are what might be not inaptly termed bi-products of the ores of this county to a considerable oyf Ia, t--- ar-ftf la Fl nf he ores of the Verde district and else where-and in compiling the produc- tion figures for 1916 their presence in all of the base ores has been recog- niZed.
 Prosperity on the Job
 That prosperity has followed the peripheries of the mine, mill and shelter circles of this county during the year just rounding out is due to concerted mining effort, and to the conservative publicity accorded the local mining industry in the mining and general news press of the state and county. That results have justi- fled the mining and publicity efforts is demonstrated by the county's min eral production. by the large amount of capital invested here during the year and by the extensive mining. milling and smelling operations now in force.
 At the outset of the year 1916. min ing. milling and smelting operations were by no means so general as at present With the passing of the months, however. Yavapai county caught it's stride in the march of min ing and general business prosperity that is sweeping over Arizona, and be- came a banner-bearing county among the counties of a state that stands we'll to the fore in mining and busi- ness importance. The good work ac- complished during 1916 is but mark CT for that contemplated during 1917 by the men who are establishing the county's mining industry On a copper bottomed base. The plans for the coming year include enlarged mining, milling and smelting operations and an increase of at least one-third in mineral production over the record ~ade the current year.
 A Good Pair to Draw To
 The United Verde and the United Verde Extension mines are a good pair to draw to in the local mining game That is to say. they offer an incentive for concentrated effort with out which no game is either interest ing or remunerative. The men who played" the market with Verde Ex- tension shares the current year are away to the good financially. and the opportunity for further winnings is yet open to them and to others.
 United Verde shares. to the con- trary, are unavailable for speculative purposes as they are for the most part held by former United States Senator w. A. Clark, who plays lone hand in most of his mining ventures. It is. however. not amiss to state that the Senator's ventures are almost al
