Mines of State Show 123 per cent Gain During Past Year; Red Metal
 Produ -tion Lauded By U. S. Official

N HE production of gold, silver l copper, lead and zinc from mines in Arizona during 1916 had a record total value of nearly 2O3,OOO,OOO, compared with S9O,- S06,3i9 for 1915, according to the estimate of Victor C. Heikes. of the United States Geological Sur vey, department of the interior. The notable output of copper and the high prices of metals both as- sisted in this increase of 123 per cent.
 The production of gold from Ari- zona mines increased from S4.. 166,025 in 1915, to approximately s4,427,000 in 1916, an increase Of over per cent. The production of gold from copper ores in most counties was naturally greater than in 1915, but there was a marked decrease in the output of bullion from amalgamation and

Government Report Shows
 That Gold and Silver Pro-

 Slowly Decreasing.

While the production of copper in zona, increased by leaps and bounGs during the last year, other metals fared not so good. Gold and silver production in the United States in by sS,719,3O0 for gold and 2,077,275 ounces of silver. The director of the mint announces that the total gold production for the past year was S92,- 316, 6,4O0, and the silver production 72,- sS3.S00 ounces.
 California led the union in the pro- duction of gold with 1,069,5S6 ounces valued at s22,11O,30O Colorado was second with SIS, 1865 ounces, worth S19,- 0O9, 100, and Alaska third with 7S0,721 ounces, worth S16,242, 300.
 The other chief gold producing states are given as Nevada, with an output valued at SS,42S,20O; South Dakota s7,512,2OO; Montana $4,575,4O and Utah s3,59S, 400.
 The minimum fifteen ounces, worth S300, was produced in South Carolina. Twenty-eight states produced no gold.
 Montana led in silver production with 14,171, 900 ounces. Other leading states were Utah with 12,965,7 700 ounc- es; Nevada 12,7S4.60O ounces; Idaho 10,504, 100 ounces; Colorado 7,771 300 | ounces; Arizona ,600 ounces; New Mexico 100000 ounces, and Cal ifornia 1937, 300 ounces.

Secretary of New Company Believes Arizona's Mineral Possibilities Surpass Those of Any Other State.

''No state in the Union surpasses the astonishing extent of Arizona's mineral possibilities" Said Secretary J. o. Tonkin, of the Santa Cruz-Bisbee Mining Company when interviewed re gently.
 ''It is truly marvellous the great de velopment that has been made in the state in a few years" he continued land the future is assured of even more remarkable activities in mining operations than at any time in the past"
 One of the new companies formed in recent months to operate in field Of rich mineral deposits is the Santa Cruz-Bisbee Mining Company, an or ganization that is ready to support its representations with affidavits or oth CT endorsement Of prominent and hon ored citizens
 Officers of Company
 The officers of the company are !. F. Walker, president; C. V Hudson Vice-president; j. O. Tonkin, secretary and Chas Albert Smith, treasurer. All of these men are Thoroughly experienc- ed in mining operations. and of un- questioned ability and judgement in matters of this character
 "The property of the Santa Cruz Bisbee Mining Company in the Santa Rita mountains" said Mir. Tonkin, ''is located in the highly mineralized Tyn- l,I -so or ten claims in all, and on this prop erty is a large Assure vein from 40 10 50 feet wide that is highly mineralized on the surface and assays from S1 to $126O in gold per ton.
 Returns Are High
 Recent assays of ore from the main vein gave returns in lead. zinc and silver of $6193 per ton. In the tunnel now being driven the assays gave a value of $75.55 per ton and the average is increasing as we proceed with the work.
 "The Santa CruZ-Bisbee mine is 9 reality; the ore is there to be seen by and one interested. and it is to be de velone5 by tunneling and not by costly shafts, hoists and pumps.
 "The location. the advantages in timber and water. together with acces- sibility, make the development of this property one of the most unusual in the history of mining operations in the state"
 The company is capitalized for one million dollars, divided into one mil lion shares. par value one dollar, and the stock is fully paid and non-asses- sable

extracted from these ores with less waste or untiliZed to better advantage in advancing the gen eral prosperity of the country. Even as written in the plain fig ures of 1916 production the won- derful record of our mines sets forth degree of national indus trial independence only hoped for a few years ago.
 Again copper stands out as the best illustration of how American mines can meet a world demand. The output of nearly two billion pounds of the red metal is double tat of ten years ago and it's value is twice that of the copper pro- duced in 1915. Add to this the facts that. in value copper now contends with iron for first place among the metals and that togeth- CT the amount of these two metals produced last year had a value of

a larger output and @ larger leach ing plant was being constructed at AJo, in Pima county.
 The nine production of lead in- creased from Z1,73S,969 pounds in 1915 10 a record production of over 26.00O,000 pounds in lSI6. The value Of this output increased from $1,021,132 to $l,76S,O00, or 73 per cent. The Copper Queen and Shattuck-Arizona mines in the Warren District, and the Tennes- see mine in Mohave county, con tinue to contribute the largest part Of the lead output.
 Two Zine Shippers
 The production of zine from the mines increased from 1S,220,S63 pounds, valued at 92,263,3SI m 1915. to about 20,JSO,OOO pounds, valued at S2,S74,2oO in 1916, an increase of nearly 2f per cent in value. The greater part of the zine ore ana concentrates was shipped from the GOlconda and Tennessee properties, in Mohaye county. There were, however, two new and important shippers of zinc Ore-the Magma Copper company in Final county, which opened up zinc ore and construct cd a conCentrator late m the year, and the DuquCsnc property in santa Cruz county. Shipments were also made from Che Kinsmm Zine company near Kjngman. the San Xavier mine in Pima county, and the Gommill-Raudolph t1ilinss at Grown King Possibly 2S.O00 tons of crude zine ore and concen- trates were shipped from the state during the year.
 Dividends paid Co December. amounted to nearly $34,OO0.000. The contributors were the Copper Queen. Inspiration. Calumet & Arizona. United Verde, Ray Con solidated. Miami. Shattuck-Arizo- ma. United Globe. United Verde Extension and Grand Guich. Add ing Utah. Montana, Nevada and Idaho dividends Co those ol Arizo- na. We have a total ol over Slu0,- OO0.0Oo in dividends paid out of thc mines oi these five western states i'm a siusl" year.
 These arc some of the impress sivc facts brough, out by the re- port Of the Geological Survey to Secretary Lane just made:
 "Industrial Independence"

more J1an one billion dollars and we have a measure of what this country can contribute in useful metals.
 "The output of zinc from do- mestic ores increased last year 5000 tons. which makes a new record for that metal, the total value of spelter from United States ore being 15O million dol lars. Lead also shows large in crease, the 75 million dollar out put being a gain of more than 50 per cent.
 With all this activity in metal production the coal mines have had to meet a reavy demand. so that the bituminous coal output has now passed the half-billion ton mark, an increase of 12.5 per cent over the previous year. Coke production increased 90 per cent and it is gratifying to note that by-product coke made the largest gain, which means correspond ing gain in benzol and other valu- able by-products.
 Oil Increases
 Again the oil wells have given a new record for petroleum yield, the estimate of marketed produc- ton of crude petroleum for 1916 being 292 million barrels. or II million barrels more than in 1915.
 Another mineral product which furnishes an index of business conditions. is cement. the 1916 production Of which is estimated tO be five million barrels in excess of the output of the previous year. while the shipments were even greater. aggresating 9l,50O GOO barrels. with the outlook reported as good for the new year
 The reports received from the Surveys western offices contain most significant mining records. Every western state shows large increase in yield Of metals. Arizo- na leading with a gain Of 100 mil lion dollars over last year. while Utah and Montana together report another loo million dollar gain. Alaska also had its best year. con tributing a total value ot more than $5Oo0O.o0o this year. or over % per cent in excess of any pre- ViOus year
 These advance statements not only show that 1916 marks new advance in the mineral industry of the country. but this remarkable increase promises to be approSi- matcb 25 per cent over the 1915 production so that VIC may expect the hnal hgures 10 show 9 total of thre- btillon nor

cyanide mills, particularly in Mo have and Maricopa counties. Sev- eral new gold mines were added to the list during the year, es- pecially in the Oatman camp, Mo- have county. but the production was not sufficient to offset the de- cline in the output of the older properties. A new 200-ton mill was being completed for the Unit ed Eastern property, and consid- erabie ore was opened at the Big Jim and Gold Ore mines.
 The production of silver from the mines increased from 5,6A9.- O20 ounces in 1915 to a record out put of about 6,S23.OOO ounces in 1916. As the market price was much higher. the value increased from $2.S64,053 to nearly $4.490.- 000, an increase of nearly 57 per cent in value. There was no great change in the production from the Commonwealth property, which is principally a silver producer, so the increase is to be credited largely to the remarkable output of copper ore.
 All Records Broken
 The mine output of copper sur passed all records and estimates, as it increased from 459.972,295 pounds in 1915 10 approximately 693, ,000,G00 pounds in 1916. The value of the output on account of the unusual market, increased

It figures safely. howev- CT. on a product yielding IF per cent copper.
 United Verde Extension
 Probably the most spectacular of all the mining operations in this state during the year 1916 has been that of the United Verde Extension Mining company. which jumped from the first of the year from an undeveloped pros- pect to full-hedged dividend paying mine the latter part of the year. Not alone is development work going on
 steadily and rapidly, but new con struction, a new shaft. new hoist house and power plant. and tramway have been put we'll under way Now comes the announcement that the first of the year 1917 will see shelter. to be To- cated in the Verde valley near Clark dale. which smelter will probably pro- duce in the neighborhood of 5000, 900 pounds of copper per month. Many wild guesses have been made Verde Extension mine; a recent re- port of the board of directors stated that the ore in sight between the 1900 and 400 foot levels is conserva- lively estimated at over 100000 tons. assaying better than Is percent. At 16 cents per pound for copper. this would have a value of approximately SS6.00O.0O0; at 9 cents for copper content the value would be more than S56.000 ,0O0. While no estimate can be made of the size of the ore body above the 1900 foot and below the 1400 foot levels. the aggregate tonnage yet 10 be proven in all probability will be found 10 exceed the tonnage develop ed between the 1900 and 1400 foot lev els and the value of the mine will be propOrtionately greater. Thus it will be seen that there is sound and ample reason for the spectacular actions of the Verde Extension.
 Old Dominion Copper Mining q Smelt-
 ing Company.
 Every day the Old Dominion is add ing to the supply of copper at the rate of about 45 tons per day. The plant is being worked to the utmost capaci- ty. and at the mine about 1900 tons of ore are being hoisted daily. about two thirds of which is concentrating ore. and One-third direct smelting ore Nothing of a spectacular nature has occurred in the progress of the old Dominion. but more ore is constantly being developed.
 The water troubles that the old Dominion went through during 1915 are taken care of. and the water com ing into the mine has decreased until it is now below five millions of gallons per day.
 Plans are being made to install a new Notation plant on the lower floor of the old unit of the concentrator. and at the same time a modern black smith and carpenter shop will be put in on the same floor In pinal creek the drilling and grouting work is be- ing continued with the idea of effec- tiveiy scaling up the porous area which provides a means oi letting the creek water lnto Jle nlae.

SPLENDID SHOWING
 OF BISBEE-AJ0 IS
 ACCUSING INTEREST
Property is Located in District Conceded to Contain One of the Greatest Continuous Ore Bodies.

50 great is the mineral wealth of Arizona that it now leads in the pro- duction of copper" said President Ed ward Sweeney, of the Bisbee-Ajo Cop per & Development Company, ''and it is little wonder that the residents of the Warren District are optimistic of the future"
 The splendid showing of the Bisbee- Ajo Copper & Development Company properties is emphasized in the recent report of President Edward Sweeney. who carefully investigated the entire holdings of the company. His report lives enthusiastic support to the de- termined plans of the directors to con tinue operations and push forward the work thus far ably carried on.
 Copper Content High
 The assays of ore taken promiscr- ously from the property Of the com pany and from the outcroppings of several claims show the copper con -ent to be as high as 32.1 per cent, the lead assay 7.3 per cent, and silver 9.4 ounces.
 q have carefully gone over the ground MT. Sweeney writes, and have found many of these croppings. Some of these are extremely rich and nave every indication of permanence."
 Two single shafts are now down to depths of IS and 36 feet, and g double compartment shaft has reached a lepth of 100 feet. It is planned to con- inue sinking the shafts for distance If five hundred feet.
 District is Famous
 The twenty-four claims of the com 1any are located in a district conced- d to contain one of the greatest nown copper ore bodies in the world. Some of the oldest and ablest mining men of the district have expressed heir confident opinion that the Bis Hee-Ajo holdings are among the most promising in the district at this time.
 The company also owns Is addition al claims immediately adjoining the -ornelia Extension and the Ajo Con Folidated mines at Ajo. This is an asset to the Bisbee-Ajo company ac- luired since its formation. six of the ,laims being located by the company, nd twelve having been acquired by 1urchase.
 Officers Well Known
 Capitalized for $650,00O, divided into 90 900 shares, tine company is selling stock to sufficiently finance it's needs and place the property on a dividend oasis without delay. The officers are: Edward Sweeney, president, for four teen years with the C. X A. company; ohm Perry, vice-president. a practical 1iner of experience and ability, and ohm Caretto, secretary and treasurer, 'or many years a mining and business man of the district and of sound judge ment and unquestioned standing in the community.
