conditions in Arizona improved
early in 1920, though the shipments
OF ore, concentrates and precious
bullion show no great change in
production according 10 the United
States geological survey. The ship
ments of copper bullion from the
smelling plants indicate a greater
production for 1920, but they in
clude large quantity of copper
that was left over from 1919.
The value of the gold silver, cop
per, lead and zinc produced from
mines in Arizona in 1919 was about
SlOS,707 900
The state tax commission of New
Mexico reports that for 1913 the
gross production of thirty-six metal
mining companies was $l0,74423O
and that their gross expenditure
was $10,71O,91O.
About 1921 600 in gold was pro-
duced in Arizona in 1919, which
was much less than in 1918. In
1920 will probably be another de-
crease in the gold obtained from
copper ores. In 1919 the value of
the gold from the United Eastern
mine was $l,97O, sos, and the value
In the first quarter of 1920 was
$542,972. The Copper Queen, CaIu-
met d Arizona, United Verde, and
United Verde Extension mines and
smeiters, the ores from which con-
tain considerable gold, have been
active in 1920. The gold output of
Arizona has been increasing on ac-
count of the large output of copper
and the discovery of gold at Oat-
man, but many gold mines in the
the state are not operating
During the year ending April /.
1920, the Tom Reed Gold Mines
company realized $3.50 per ton for
the ore treated, and the total costs
were $6.6S per ton.
Most of the silver produced in
Arizona is derived from copper ores
and lead ores. The total output of
silver in 1879 was about 4,927,500
ounces, valued at $5,4z9,000. The
price of silver was unusually high
during the first four months of
1920. but unless the smelling of sill
yer bearing copper ores is increased
during the last half Of 1920, the
production of silver will not be
greater than in 1919. The ship
ments of ore from the Bunker Hill
mines at Tombstone increased to
about eighty cars a month in 1920.
The copper output produced N
Arizona amounted to about 522,-
100000 pounds in 1919, against

of the Triangle league seems to be
secure. After administering a decisive
defeat to Wilder, the leader, on Sun

tie and forfeited the game. The

their batting record, Lou Otkins alone
getting a hit every time he batted,
consisting of base hits, two-bag-

i ray Of hope. The government has
gone so far as to negotiate contract
which will make available a water sup
ply. The district will have to raise
the funds to construct dam, but it is
not anticipated this will be difficult.
Bonding houses are familiar with the
district together with contractors, for
they have all investigated it. The
bonds must first be authorized and
residents of the district will vote on
that issue. If. the vote is favorable,
the bonds will be sold and the neces-
sary funds will be available for build
ing.
The government and the district
have specifically agreed to certain
things in the contract so that there
appears to be clear and definite un-
derstanding as to what will take place.
The right to divert water from the
Payette river to the district is re-
served by the government, but when
ever it makes use of the water the I
government will pay its proportionate
share Of the cost of construction. 1t |
has accepted the filing on 1000 inches
of water flowing over the dam for
power purposes and it reserves the
right to the use of the power.
The entire proposition looks salts
factory on its face and if carried to
complexion means the bringing under
cultivation small empire of land and
greater prosperity and contentment to
