While many of the mines have closed down. the mines are there with their wealth of mineral to keep up the valuations, MT.

Miami Copper company is one Of the Gila county properties which has not closed down. Eleven hundred men, out of maximum of 1,400. are em- ployed there, while the mine of the Arizona Asbestos company. 40 miles from Globe. is another property not closed. An effort is being made in GiIa county to provide road work for the men who have been thrown out of work by the shut down of other mines. MT. Howe stated. In Greenlee county an effort is also being made to place the unemployed on road con- struction work. The Arizona Cop per company is operating, but its product has been curtailed to large extent.
 In the mining districts, especially in Gila county, an effort is being made to revive silver mining. MT. Howe claimed.
 In the opinion of Mir. Howe, one of the interesting features in connection with the survey was the trip from Clifton to Springerville. the construc- tion of IT miles of which highway has been completed. The road opens up the most scenic section of the state. located as it is in the heart of an unbroken forest through which it passes, the commissioner said.
