PRAISE R OF
REALTY HEARD

The underlying factors of COM
petent appraisals we're outlined by
William L. Beale In charge of the
real estate department of the Amer.
lean Security and Trust Company
at the regular weekly Y. M. C. A.
real estate class. In beginning his
lecture Mr.. Beale stressed the fact
that proper appraisals are primarily
the result of experience in this field
and a proper study Of property
values. In his lecture the speaker
said that it is necessary to under.
stand what is meant by the word
valuation" This he said can be
found In a decision rendered by
former United States Chief Justice,
Charles Evans Hughes, laid down
in the Minnesota note case. volume
$50. u. s. $50.
The normal market value is the
base upon which values are made
together with special values that
NAV arise and fair market values
for particular vicinities. Appraisal
at a market value, he said. was
that value for which the property
would be sold in cash by one who
does not have to sell. The average
sale is the best evidence OF value.
and this sale is controlled by the
age old principle of supply and de-
-nand. Boom and depreciation fac.
tors, however, must enter into the
study of what the property previ..
ously purchased at and what its
STABILITY price is now.
The elements entering into the
proper valuation Of land are: /. Los
cation. 2. Utility. 8, Size. 4. Shape
of lot. In regard to location and ac-
feasibility it was pointed out that in.
most cities the highest valuations
are in the downtown business dis
tricts and districts that are visited
by the most people. and utility
chiefly concerns the use of the lot,
the desirability of the ground In
respect to special purposes. In deal.
ing with the size, 1t mutt be taken
into consideration the assembled
plottage and the depth and the
utility of the size for specific pur.
poses.
Zoning regulations, particularly IN
the District OF Columbia, also enter
as a large factor in appraisal mat
tiers. These regulations govern
height of building. amount of land
which can be used and the type OF
building that may be placed on the
ground. Zoning rust be particular
" studied and understood in order
to have a proper appraisal arrived
at, said the speaker.

ARIZONA MINES PAY DIVIDENDS

Washington, D. C.-The value
of gold. silver copper, lead and
zinc produce by mines in Arizona
in 1925 was $114, 1927, 100, an in.
crease from 500, 61O, 379 in 1924,
according to estimates made by
V. G.. Heikes of the Bureau of
Mines, Department of Commerce.
The output of copper, silver and
lead compared favorable with
that of the war period, though
metal prices were lower and the
output of gold, especially from
Oatman, was decidedly less.
Arizona retained it's place as the
leading copper producer of the
United States and made an out.
put close to that of 1918, despite
the fact that market conditions
did not warrant a record output.
The dividends paid in 1925 by

poration, which operates the

critics in Arizona and other mines

which bring the total amounts of

The output of gold fell off
from 81, 1873, 465 in 1924. to 81,
315, 200 in 1925 as result of a
large decrease in the production
of gold ore from Oatman in Mo

shown in the district gold output,

Gold from copper ore was nat

Marked increases in gold from

INCREASE IN QUANTITY AND
VALUE OF SILVER

The output of silver increased
from 66, 1892 ounces in 1924 to
about 7,322.6CO ounces in 1925,
and the value Increased from
$455, ,O15 to $5,052,600, as the
average price of silver in 1925
was about 2 cents higher than
that of 1924. Though Arizona
has not been considered a large
producer Of silver compared with
the other western states, it made
a record close to that of Idaho
in 1925. The United Verde mine
was by far the largest producer
OF silver in Arizona. but other
| large producers were the Copper
/ Queen, Magma, Calumet & Ari-
zona, United Verde Extension,
Shattuck, Bunker Hill, New Cor
nelia, Old Dominion and Iron
Cap mines.
The output of copper increased
from 677, 752,015 pounds. in 1924
to about 725, 900 5000 pounds in
1925, and the value increased
from $88, 1851 to $102, 298, 700.
E ght smelling plants within the
state were active throughout the
year and considerable ore was
also treated at El -Paso, Texas.
The Old Dominion smelter was
closed in December, 1924, but
the output was handled at
the Internationa plant at Miami.
Though the price of copper was
not high and there was some
talk of curtailment, several Of
the large properties such as the
| United Verde, Copper Queen,
Ray Consolidated, Calumet &
Arizona, and Morenci mines de
cidedly increased their output.
The smelter at Humboldt was
idle, but much ore and concen
trate was purchased in anticipa
ton of active operations. The
largest producers of copper in
1925 we're the United Verde,
Copper Queen, Inspiration, Ray
Consolidated, New Cornelia,
| Miami, Morenci, Calumet & Ar:-
zona, United Verde Extension
| and Magma mines. Other mines
that produced more than 1,OO0,
loco pounds of copper each were
the Arizona Commercial. Iron
Cap, El Trio, Night Hawk, Mid
land, Shattuck, and Superior &
Boston.
The prod of lead in Ari
zona increased from 1852, ,314
pounds in 1924 to about $23 900,
600 pounds in 1925, aud the value
increased from, 81, 491 1886 to $2,
O63, 300. The Copper Queen
mine, at Bisbee, was the largest
producer, and the Shattuck mine,
(which was operated throughout
the year, was second. The
Calumet & Arizona property was
a large producer of lead from
zinc lead ore shipped east
Other important producers OF
lead were the Bunker Hill mine
at Tom bstone, including flotation
concentrate from the Grand Cen
trail lease, the Eignal mine in
Mohave. county, the Mystery and
Hilltop mines in Cochise county,
and the Sheldon property in
Yavapai county.
No zinc material was shipped
from Arizona in 1924, but in 1925
regular shipments of zinc. lead
ore were made from the Warren
