The Mining Engineer and the
 Mining Industry In Arizona

f6s,00O,OO0 pounds came from Arizona. which Is the largest producing copper center ill the world. The yearly in crease of the worlds production of copper from 1912 to 1918 was only l35,0OO,00O pounds per year. This in crease Is no more than normal con- dltlons could account for by increas- ing population and industry. Con sldering the present situation over a period of 10 years 1t can be readily appreciated that under normal con dltlons the present production of cop per would be completely absorbed.
 We have stored in the United States over one billion pounds Of refined
 copper which is almost equal to the full years production of 1913. The natural question arises-Why, in the face of this tremendous surplus, should the copper companies continue to operate? The answer is-First. that due to the slight increase of the world s supply of 135,000 GOO pounds a year the amount produced should be absorbed in addition to q normal prouction of over one billion pounds a year. Con sidering these figures the operators have decided that both the copper in stock and being produced can be used by normal world business and that ow-
 ing to the re-adjustment of business conditions itSwould be both unwise and unpatriotic to close down the mines and throw large numbers of employees out of work. The banks are so con- fident in the future Of the industry that they have recently arranged 10 purchase approximately 600, 900, GOO pounds of copper for future export, taking this copper off the American market and giving the companies cash with which to operate. Even with this action it must be realized that the situation with the copper companies is exceedingly critical and that any tightening of the money market may force them to suspend operations un- less cost of production can be reduced.
 These production figures are very bright to the average man but they cannot last. A mine is like a man in fine raiment, sitting on the salt desert with a barrel of water: every bit he drinks leaves him so much less. After time it is gone. Then what value to his life is his fine raiment? In the same way we have our wonderfully equipped mines, with mills and smell

ters showing a capital investment Of over one-half billion dollars, and yet in l940, only 19 years hence, these mines will be well on the way to exhaustion and the value of the huge investment wiped out. mine is a wasting asset The more you take out, the less you have. It is vital to the interests of this state to encourage mining and particularly the development of new areas so that as the old mines are depleted the new may be counted on to take their place.
 Numbers of business men own or have owner prospect. Some of them have paid $100 year for each claim held, over a long period. One man, I know, has paid $10,000 in the last few years for the privilege of holding a piece of real estate '25 miles from the railroad with absolutely no possibility of ever being of value. He, like all of the rest of the owners of prospects, would rather pay these amounts than on his property.
 During my stay in Phoenix I have examined over 500 prospects and mines; of these five were considered of some possible value; and one has been acquired for development.
 The amount of time and money spent by business men on worthless
 
 terested in the development of mines, would concentrate their energies under the direction of engineer in doing actual work on favorable ground we could be sure that new mines would be found. The average man drapes a prospect in a golden halo of uncer- tainty. He dreams of the hidden treasures below; seems to think that all he has to do is to dig. Then he sets out to get somebody else to do the digging. As a matter of fact, a mine is not a dream. The ore is either there or it is not there. With very few exceptions the presence of ore can be determined from the surface. There has always been concrete cause for the formation or concentration of ore This action can usually be traced and a competent engineer can discover special features which will indicate what chances there are for the forma- tion of ore bodies in any piece of ground.
 Let us use the same sense and dis cretion in choosing a mininf. venture that we do in other business and con- centrate our efforts for the good of the state and incidentally our own pros perity.
