 It is not boastful to say that mining is the chief of industries. The metals both precious and industrial are inn mense factors in the development of civilization and energiZe the commerce of the world. There is not an indus try of today in which metal in some form is not d factor in the equation.
 Alexander von Humboldt subse- quent to his exploration in that part of the Great American desert now known as Arizona. said of this terri tory: Here lies the mineral treasure vault of the United States" Suffi- cient mining development has already taken place in Arizona, and particu- larly during the year 1916 and at the present time, fully to give assurance that the distum of the great geologist and explorer was well founded in fact.

Its mountain ranges, extending from border to border, are ribbed with mineral veins and deposits distinguished for the richness of their i ores.

So far the eyes Of the copper world have been centered on the Verde Ex- tension. one of the most wonderful deposits known. Men have staked their hopes and finances on either the Verde Extension or the properties inn mediately surrounding it. such as the Jerome-Verde, Calumet and Jerome, Dundeed-Arizona. Gadsden or Verde Combination While these proper ties have been steadily pushed forward with the stocks played back and forth and a certain doubt and un- certainty prevailing. Joe Matsor. su- perintendent at the Copper Chief mine, in the southern district of this camp. has been on the job every min ute with wonderful results They have found native copper in the mine. one specimen of which Mr Watson is proud was taken from the office by someone prouder than he. Dan Harper found beautiful little gold nugget in the mine, also a chunk ca silver. Mir Harper gave the nugget ot gold 10 a friend of his, who expects was carried away by someone. Mir Matson is proud of his plant and mine.
 Shea Copper Company
 The scaffold for the Shea Copper company shaft is nearly completed. Excavation has been made for the hoist engine, which will be installed within a short time The incline shaft is down ninety feet and well timbered to the bottom. From the east side of the mountain the tunnel is being driven to connect with the shaft and several veins of excellent ore were cut. This property has every promise of becoming a producer short ly. With it's close proximity to the Copper Chief mine and the excellent showing in the tunnel and shaft at shallow depth, the owners and stock holders feel encouraged that it will shortly be a producer.
 Jim Rice is pushing the develop ment work at Grand Island as rap idly as possible. Having prospected the property to his satisfaction he is now going after the ore. Tn a cross- cut at the bottom of the fifty foot shaft near the hoist a vein of high grade ore was cut, varying in width from fourteen to twenty four inches. This vein was followed for about twenty feet with a dip of about 90 per cent until body of water was struck which delayed the work, but the vein continued as far as the last blast hole showed. From the upper shaft MT. Rice is running a drift east to cut the ore vein at the fifty-fo level. The assay returns show gold and copper values. which are very en- couraging to Mir.

He will ship his ore from Aguila station on the A X C., direct to the Miami Products company of Chicago, who are buying practi- cally all of the manganese that can be produced in this section. It is prob able that MT.

The mineral belt of Yavapai county oncthousand square miles. The con taining rock is nearly uniform through out this entire section, producing a continuous yield of gold, silver, copper, iron. lead and zine.
 While this vast mining field has been habited for barely four decades and it's mineral discovery and develop ment are scarcely commenced, it has already added over a hundred mill lionsteo the worlds wealth. Within the boundaries of Yavapai county there have been found and are yet to be discovered rich veins and bonanza deposits of gold, silver and copper suf- ficient to energize armies of men and millions of capital.
 The history of mining in Yavapai county dates from the discovery of the rich placers in Weaver Gulch. In May. 1883 a party headed by the old pio- neer Paulin Weaver. discovered these diggings, which bear his name In the same year, a Mexican in the em-

Here. in depres- sion of the mountain. five thousand feet above tidewater, coarse gold was found lying on the very bed rock. Pieces of pure metal worth several thousand dollars were picked up and upwards of $500, 000 was taken from an acre in extent, within a few months The mountain top, Sulches and ravines running down from the mountain and surrouding country are very rich ir placer gold and ore
