ARIZONA CLAIMS TITLE TO
 BEING ONE OF THE OLDEST
 STATES IN NEW WORLD

PHOENlX. Dec. % - Countless
 tuins of prehistoric culture still exist in Arizona, including old irrigation canals. And the Indian pueblos of today are the most remarkable in the United States. Friar Marcos de Niza was the first Spaniard to enter the limits of this state. He crossed the southeastern corner in 1539. In l540 he conducted Coronado over the same route. One of Coronado's captains visited the Hopi and other reached the Grand Canyon. Early in the seventeenth century considerable progress was made in Christianizing the Hopis In 1860 came the great Pueblo revolt. The Ilopis have ever since remained an independent tribe: they have the privilege of voting, and their women are said to be the original American suffragettes. The Indian reservations comprise 1T.5S6.- oo0 acres. occupied by i105O Indians.
 American traders and explorers penetrated this region early in the nineteenth century. Arizona became . territory in 1863 and state in 1910. The capital is Phoenix. Other important cities are Prescott. Flag. staff. Jerome, Bisbee. Douglas. Tempe, Tucson and St Johns. The name. originally Arizonas, signifies small spring or few springs and was given to q little Papago settlement near Nogales The official flower is the saguaro cactus blossom and the motto is God en-iches Population iy 333227.

RESUMPTION OF ORE PRODUCTION ON SAC.
 BILL IS PROPOSED

BISBEE. Dec. 22-Announcement was made yesterday from the office Of r. G. Beckett, general manager of the Phelps Dodge corporation at Bis bee, that preparations are 10 proceed for the resumption of Sacramento hill steam shovel operations as well as milling operations at the Copper Queen Warren concentrator
 Mr. Beckett. in discussing the an nouncement. advised that. while neither in volume nor price Were the present copper sales such as 10 give occasion for any undue optimism, yet the amount of copper sold in recent months had been satisfactory and warranted the production of a limited amount of additional copper in the near future from Phelps Dodge corporation properties.
 Our copper surplus has been re- duoed to normal proportions, Mir Beckett said, and there appears at the present time to be healthier and stsadier demand for the metal than for some time pas; The re- sumption will he slow on account of the time necessary 10 get the hill and mill organizations together. as well as the completion of the mill. which still needs finishing touches to the equipment. such as installing small parts. the putting on of belts, the trying out Of all machinery and the budding of launders. etc The next few months of the Sacramento hill work will consist largely of drill ing the benches. and it is not ex- pected that actual ore production can be commenced before next May or June. The units of the mill will be started up as called for by the supply of ore from the steam shovel opera tions. Men will be put on gradually and it will be the early summer be. fore the full number Of approximately 500 men needel for ore extraction waste stripping and mill operations will be used
 At the Douglas reductions works there will be no change in the pres ent scale of operations till the con centrat.s from the Warren mill com. mence 10 arrive at which time il will be necessary 10 blow in one or two more additional blast furnaces to take care of the increased tonnage.
 When that time comes the month ly production of the Douglas reduction works will probably be in the neigh borhood of 12.000.o00 pounds per month including Morenci concentrates against the present monthly output Of 5000. GOO pounds.
