There is no single factor in the southwest that contributes more visor- ously to the prosperity and progress i've growth of every phase of human activity than Phelps. Dodge & Co.
 Millions Expended
 The vast investments of the com nany have been made on so eompre- hensive a scale and over SO broad an area that there is no element of the whole southwest that has not felt the potential exDansion of this internatiOn- al corDoration. Millions upon millions of dollars have been expended in re- markable mining operations. in the building of giant smelters. the con- structing of a great railroad system and the development of chain of srlendid mercantile establishments.
 The Conner Queen Consolidated Mining COmnanv is but one of the sub sidiaries of the Phelns. Dodge G Com nanv. and yet this single enterprise has prOduced over one and one-half billion rounds of copper.
 One hundred thousand people are directly concerned in the uninterruDt- ad proprAss. unbuilding and advance meut of the various organizations of this successful corporation.
 Promotes Industry ,

 Ninety ner cent of the total taxes Daid into the state treasury of Arizona are from the corDOrate interests of tho commonwealth. and no small nrO- "ortion cf this amount is from Phelps. Dodge x COmnany. There is not hamlet in the whole state that does not derive scrle benefit from the in- vestments and operations of this strong organization.

 SUPPLY ELIMINATED

Some of the eXtrewe irregularities of supply will be eliminated by the better understanding of economic con ditions which producing interests have acquired in recent years. AS a result copper will not sell as low again as it has in the past; but no restriction within the limit of human forces can prevent it from rising fully as high in future periods of excessive demand as it has during this period of the Euro noan war
