 Tucson Aids Mines
 or the larger realization that the affairs of many mining interests cen ter in Tucson and that their business requirement. call for more attention on the part of the city. the recent organ ization of the Tucson bureau of mines gives an important demonstration The bureau of mines has the membership ~F inc nfa- orators and a directorate composed CT someof the best known and most sub- stantial minine men of the west. They appreciate the growth in development and resources of the mining country contiguous to Tucson. and will un- doubtedy be a large factor in develop ing mining machinery and mining sup plies lines here. which will fix the citv as the real mining metropolis Of the state. A mining machinery and supplies city in Arizona has been it's cchief lack in the past. It is an ac- commodation the industry needs badly and that will find immediate and large support from every corner of the state just as soon as the service. becomes available.

New Cornelia, coupled with the smelting operations Of the American Smelling and Refining plant at Sasco and the transaction of the business of this shelter and its shipping mines in Tucson, makes of Tucson an actual copper center responsible for not far from six million pounds of the red metal tho month.
 Valuable Plant
 Within the city is tine rare metals separation plant or the Randolph ln- terests. engaged chiefly in the hand ling of molybdenum. but so patterned and with the support of such metal lurgical resourcefuiness that it is only a question of time until manganese. tungsten ,vanadium and other metals of the rarer sort that have become indispensable in the steel industry will find treatment here on a large scale, with accompaniment of wonderful as sistance to the development of various mineralized zones in the Tucson ra- .,Sius. and indeed throughout the state and northern Sonora.
 BeneGCent results carried by this plant have had marked demonstration in the opening up of the old Nam meth country. where recent transac- tiOns in mining properties, prepara- lions for new mechanical equipment. inclusive of mills together with the undertakins Of much new develop ment. have given it standing as that district in the state wherein greatest advance has been made in seizing rOon and taking ndvantage of the
