BILLION POUNDS THIS YEAR GOAL OF COPPER
 PROPERTIES OF STATE
tContinueu from Page one)


 Consolidated and Van Dyke developing companies at Miami are extending
 much promise. Miami Consolidated. however. is in the list of those which face the need of additional financing.
 The property has the merit to justify such assistance. based upon drill hole results. These last two are but frac- tion of number Of meritorious rfcp- critics in the district which have large local investment, and the success of which will mean great deal in many
 ways to the community at large. If they are not hindered in their advance
 ment they will make Globe e-Miami a
 bigger center of activity than Jerome
 was during last winter and before her
 strike agitation began to put on dampening effect.
 Globe Miami will add a couple of
 million pounds or more to her monthly output before the end of the year, pro-
 vided there is no interference Miami
 Copper company will take care of L. 100000 pounds of the increase, being
 looked to for monthly production of
 6,0OO,OO0 pounds before very long by
 those who are familiar with the situa- tion of the mine and mill. The mine is
 in readiness @ go forward now with
 the increased output of ore. Some
 shortage of stulls will soon be over come and remove the only difficulty. | In fh. mil .,-1--. .l and rapid progress with remodeling that has been under way, and with ex- perimental work which is promising much. Inspiration is doing splendidly, and Old Dominion gathering headway steadily. Conditions in the district in all respects as to mining, milling and smelting are in splendid shape to war rant the expectations which are req sonably held for a fall and winter O. unparalleled advance, greater than that witnessed in the history of any
 other district in the state in point Of general participation in the benefits attendant. The brightness of the out
 look can be dispelled through local interference, which there is no disposi. ton to permit, or through collapse which may be an end of the war flea ture, but which is not probable
 The Ray-Superior district is a close second to the Globe-Miami in point ot rapidly widening and importance gain ing activities. In production, Ray Con solidated is gaining steadily. Critics of the properties in the past are eacn month finding occasion for revision oi their theories. provided they make . study of improved mining and milling results that are being obtained and which are putting the situation of the Company constantly to the better. IL has only been question with Ray Oi time in which to work out its problems, and the time given to their careful and permanent solution will in the end have paid back handsomely. Magma in the Superior district, is coming along most desirably. The research there is on the lower levels and from these is coming good results. Feeling that this is the making of one of the biggest and richest mines in the state is not abating. About both Ray and Magma the successes scored by the parent companies are giving the en- couragement required to gain general development and production from the surrounding mineralized zones.
 On Threshold of New Development.
 The Ajo district, with New Cornelia l engaged in production and each ds! i adding increased success to the high | record for efficiency far in excess of | capacity of plant as rated when specifi- | cations were first made. IS fixed in prominence and due for a great deal i further consideration.
 In the Warren district there is main tenance of the tremendous develop ment and production activities of the Copper Queen, Calumet & Arizona and Shattuck mines. These properties cen ter in the Warren district the greatest activities along perma- nent. fixed lines that are entertained in any of the Arizona districts. Ave nues are opening through new develop ment which may wonderfully increase the work and production of the ais trict within the next year Or two. which will be filled with exploratory work and new investment put little will be required to set the district rae ing away 10 place lar in advance Ol II all others, a position it maintained in the state until the coming in of h. spiration, which has brought the Globe Miami district up to almost neck-and neck standing. Meantime the Warren district Is the backbone of copper pro ductiJn in the state and oi its strong est business and investment enter prise. It not only puts a great deal oi money into mines. put Is heavy con -ributOr to Iarm and range develop nent. Anything affecting its strength would be the greatest blow to all Of the state that could occur at this time, by reason of the diversity and extent )t the investments which would be 1 checked.
 Like the Warren district, the Clifton Morenci district is upon the threshold lf much new development of impor-
