NEW FEATURES FOR
STATE MINER

AS it has always been our earnest
desire to improve the Arizona State
Miner at all times, we feel that the
addition of selected list of features
prepared by the best authors and ar
lists in America will accomplish that
object in fine fashion.
The wish of the publishers is to
make the Arizona State Miner news
paper for the home, and one which
will please every member of the
family. This, we feel will be ac-
,complished in a splendid manner by
yenlarging our paper, thus permitting
us to add those departments we have
long desired, but for lack Of space
were liable to furnish. This enlarge
ment we feel is in line with the pro-
gress of our city and county, and
with progressive merchandising and
progress in every line of business
that the Arizona State Miner serves.
That we may reach every member
of the family and best serve them,
the State Miner will appear next
week in changed form, with four full
pages of the finest syndicate material.
In furnishing our readers Will all
these features, we do not intend TO
omit any Of the news of this city and
Maricopa county, for we are enlarg-
ing the paper to six columns with
four pages each week devoted to To-
cal news and Advertising We are sure
that the additional fatures which we
have secured and the enlarged size
of the paper will meet with your ap-
proval in every way.
One of the features will be the
serial story Porto Bello Gold" by
A. D. Howden Smith, that well
known author.

OUTLOOK FOR 1926 IN
COMPARISON WITH THAT OF 1926

the Department of Agriculture gives
nine prinipal field crops, not includ-
ing cotton, a total value Of 1851
$40, based on prices December I.
Cotton will be covered in a special
report this month.
Cotton ginning Is nearly ended, to-
tai of 82,411 bales HAVING been gin
ned up to December Is. Ginnings
by counties to that date were re-
ported as follows: Maricopa, 1859;
Yuma, 1924; Pima, 1925; Pinal
2,466; Graham, 1850. Movement Of
winter lettuce from the Salt River
Valley is in full swing, 1850 cars
having been shipped up to January

THE SITUATION IN GENERAL

Business in general held very
good level in December, flttingly
closing year that had seen further
progress for the state. Most retail
lines reported excellent holiday trade
i'm many cases the best in years
and 1926 came into being with en-
couraging prospects for the future.
Results of the year in agriculture
varied. The cotton market did not
come up to expectations, but a num-
ber of crops showed increases in
value, and total value of the years s
farm production will be about the
same as in 1924. Arizona's crops are
given an aggregate value of 1884,
100000. Cotton ginning is nearly
| over, and the first half of the Salt
River Valleys lettuce season ended
with good returns.
| In livestock a more favorable out
look continues. Range and stock
conditions are generally good; the
early lambing has been excellent, and
more activity in wool is expected
when shearing begins this month.
| Cattle shipments outside the state
for the first ten months of 1925 were
100000 head, with indications the
years total would be around 100000,
| hut II; nj
Der shipped to pasture during the
| early part of the year. Lamb ship
ments probably will be about the
same figure.
! Unofficial estimates indicate that
Arizona produced about 700,000,000
pounds of copper in 1925, exceeding
| 1924's peace time record of 676,000,-
| 900, and total value of the states
metal production is expected to ex-
ceed $1O5, 100000. Mining operations
in the state show little change from
previous months.
Construction of all kinds remains
active. Building construction In many
cities for the year was the largest
since 1920, New construction and
improvements made by the Santa Fe
railroad on it's lines in the state dur
ing 1925 amounted to $3,500,00O, with
$6,000,000 scheduled for 1925. Con-
| struction of the Southern Pacific's
new main line through the Florence
Casa Grande, Salt River and Lower
Gila Valleys is expected to be finish
ed next summer, at a cost of $751;
100000. This road also is finishing
! a 100000 program at Yuma in
cluding new bridge, new yard fa-
cilities and new station, and IS
making several other improvements.
Construction of the $4,400,00O Horse
esa power dam of the Salt River
| Valley Water Users Association is
well under way; this association has
started it's extensive canal-lining pro-
gram; work on the 10000 acre Roose-
welt Conservation district project is
going ahead; and the $500, 900 Cool
ldge San Carlos dam which will ir-
rigate 100000 acres in the Florence
Casa Grande is expected to be begun
early in the new year. Good pro-
gress has been mad on the several
, big mine construction jobs under ,
way.
Banking transactions in principal
cities of the state, as reported to the
Arizona Industrial Congress, showed
material Improvement over both No
vember and December, 1924, exceed
ing figures for those months in al
most all cases.

consumption is increasing, while
very few mines are being discovered.
This situation opns the doors of op-
portunity for the small mines and
larger ones of low grade

LIVESTOCK

Favorable conditions TOR early
lambing, and maintaining of fat cat
tie prices at good levels, have main
tanned the encouraging outlook for
the livestock industry Range con-
ditions continue good, aided by pre-
cipitation the first week of Decem-
ber and the first week of January,
and stock is generally in good shape.
Early lambing has been very good,
with a high percentage of lambs.
Desert feed thus far has been sat
isfactory, and with additional rain
during the rest of the winter the
outlook will be excellent. Shearing
will begin within the next week or
so, and more activity is expected in
the wool market once wool begins to
move, since Arizona is the first Of
the new clip to reach the market each
year.
Fat cattle prices have been good.
steers bringing 8 to 81z cents
pound, cows to 515, heifers and
calves to 8. Operations Of the Ari-
zona- California Cattlemen's Co-opera-
tive Marketing Association have been
a great stabilizing factor, and cattle
feeders of the state have experienced
considerable benefits, as have range
cattlemen
Shipments of cattle to points out
side the state were unusually heavy
in 1925, due to forced movement dur
ing the spring owing to range con-
ditions. During the first ten months,
100000 head were shipped, and the
years total may be brought as high
as 100000 head by figures for No
vember and December. Lamb ship
ments were probably about this same
figure, as prices were excellent

MINING


The old year passed into history
with indications that Arizona had set
a new peace time record in copper
production. Unofficial figures indi-
cate that copper mines of the state
produced approximately 100000, 900
pounds Of the red metal during the
year. against 676,000,00O in 1924.
Lead production probably will show
material icrease, with prospects OF
some increase in silver, and, If any
thing, some decrease in gold.
Pending preliminary figures of the
U. S. Geological Survey. value OF
the states mine production for the
year is unoff1cially estimated at more
than $105,O00,000, compared to the
$98,000,00O total for 1924.
There were no developments of i'm
pOrtance in the industry here during
the month. Production continued at
about the same rate, with much ac-
tivity in development work. The
$6,0OO,O00 teaching plant being con-
structed by the Inspiration Consol-
idated Copper Company is reported
about 40 per cent finished, with in
dications that it will be completed
next October. The United Verde Cop
per company has called for bids for
a new concentrating mill. The ST.
100000 new construction and improve
ment program at the Copper Queen
smelter of the Phelps Dodge corpora
ton is going ahead, after some delay
for change in plans

day, April 1, at the home of the pres
ident, Mrs. L. j. Tuttle, SIT Ninth
street. The first was, board meet
ing at which a committee consisting
of Mrs. Carl Cole, Mrs. James L. Has
tings and Mrs. Carl HI. Lund was ap-
pointed to study the local constitu-
tion of the league, with view to
changing it to meet the needs of a
rapidly growing organization. A meet
ing of the general membership of the
league followed, at which time the
secretary read the minutes of the an
nual meeting.

tion discussion, the treasurer stating
that the returns amounted to $1OS.
The president expressed deep appre-
citation of the cooperation by league
members, which made possible this
splendid financial success.
The monthly evening meetings OF
the league will be discontinued dur
ing the hot weather, but some units
have expressed their intention of meet
ing and studying throughout the sum
mer. These plans have been left to
the Judgment of the individual units.
Before the close of the meeting all
league members were reminded OF

a good attendance at both meetings
and the president urged further in
