 total Arizona tonnage. Manganese, of
 which there is much in the Warren
 District of high grade, will also get
 more attention. A manganese stack.
 and also a lead stack at the Douglas
 smelters are more likely of early real
 ization at this time than ever before
 in the years of consideration they have
 mad as possibilities
 Molybdenum Deposits Are Worked
 By way of doing some very import
 ant pioneering and possibly of build ing up an extensive concern, is a,CoGI-
 paratively small reduction plant at Tucson. which is doing a very sue. cessful work in the recovery of mOiy
 bdenum from ores which are being eX- tracted from the old Mammoth mine,
 now in the hands of the Col Epes
 Randolph interests The Mammoth ores run to lead, with molybdenurI content The Randolph process ot sue cessful extraction at Tucson is some thing new. First the ores are smelt- ed. and the lead content removed. The remaining slag is retreated and finally teaching, by which means the mOlybde- mum content is wholly recovered. Tail ings of the Sld Mammoth, acquired by the Hereford interests of Tucson. are being successfully treated for the re- covery of molybdenum values under q,
 of the Mammoth's development of
 values in this very much desired me
 tai may be far reaching in opening up other apparently predominant values. or considered of no value because of difficulties attending recovery.
 Chino Valley Oil Field Developing
 The metal districts proper may not
 be alone in adding greatly to the min eral resources of Arizona at early date. In the Chino Valley, ten miles north of Jerome Junction, there is at tendance of constantly more encouras- ing conditions in connection with de- velopment having the opening of
 commercial oil field as it's object
 Cleaning out of the Meslet well. which
 is down 1860 feet. is resultin" in more and more confidence on the part of those interested Last week taere was undoubted oil and gas brought up from near the bottom of the hole, and as they lower the gas brought eYl- dences grow steadily stronger that the more than 100 feet of, oil sand cut just before the present bottom of the well was reached is very much alive. They
 will before long have the water ce-
 mented off, it is hoped. at its point Of entry to the well around 1I0a feet new ehole has been put down outside the old casing to enable reaching ana closing of the water strata. Mean time there has been highly favorabis report rendered on the deid by
 Etienne A. Ritter. a geologist Of very high reputation in the WyonlnS, Colo
 rado and Oklahoma fields.
 In consequence of his report, further
 capital has been enlisted in the gold
 and a new rig is now being brought
 there by the Del Rio Oil Company, headed by w. w. Hays, r. l.. Muffin and several other prominent mininS and business men of the northern part
 of the state, upon the land holdings of whom MT. Ritter mas passed reconi-
 mendation. In his report ne states that the Chino Valley formation is dis similar to the east. A pdTatline base prevails and the pr2ducc or the heui, If it develops commercial content ot oil, will be of exceptionally high value.
 Just at this time It ,S more realized than ever before that an Arizona od field would be a tremendous gam to industry in the statae. ProDaDlS twenty thousand mine and smeiter em-
 ployes, and railroad and other work CTS in large number depended solely upon the successful conduct of the
 hines for their employment, drawing upwards of six million dollars the month, would be much easier III mind as regards uninterrupted employment If they were drawing the necessary
 daily fuel supplies for the mines, mills
 and smelters from the Arizona field instead of being dependent upon the | fields of other states.
 Silver King Is Coming Back Strong Beside the uses of oil in Arizona for fuel purposes. another important requirement. has come about in the last few years through it's employment in ore Notation processes. To the humber of these now operating in the
 state there is another just being added
 "a 5O-ton plant at the old Silver King | in the Superior district. The Silver
 King. incidentally, is giving excellent
 promise of coming back. It may be | that it will yet stand dp alongside its | old time rival, Magma, wi;h the LIS tory of which it IS laStiusy inter
 woven. Silver Kins and Magma came into silver production more than forty
 years ago at practically the same t,me. Their rich period ran tine same duia- | tion. with development conditions practically identical And they went | into the leach ore, witl copper com
 ing into predominalce, at the same time. Because of the copper anu h"
