CENTRAL COPPER
COMPANY OPENS
WILCOX MILLS

An event of statewide Importance
occurred at Wilcox September %
when the Central Copper company
started production from a number of
mines in that vicinity. The start of
production marked the completion
of a construction program that con-
tinued for ten months and involved
the expenditure of more than one
million dollars. 1t is believed that
the opening of the new company re-
fleets the improvement in the cop
per industry throughout the entire
southern part OF the state,
/. new 500-ton concentration is be-
ing used by the company 70 cr~-;n
the ore transported to it from the
imnes. To furnish power FOR the
plant, a new power plant, containing
five 30O-horsepower Diesel engines,
was built at Mascot. The power
house is arranged to permit the IN
stallation of at least 1000 additional
horsepower engines later. A spur
track has also been built from Mascot
to the plant.
The new plant Is receiving ore
from the Consolidated, Elma and other
copper mines of the vicinity. Trans
ulSSiOn lines lFOHl icltl6 power plant
at Mascot connect with all the mines.
The tramways from the Elma and
Consolidated mines have both been
reconstructed and are in operation.
All the main tunnels of the Elma
and Consolidated mines have been
enlarged and placed in condition for
the rapid removal of ore.
T. N. McCauley is president of the
Central Copper company. and John
w. Prout, Jr., is general manager.
An ample water supply for all min
ing, milling and domestic purposes
has been developed at the camp
In order to provide housing facil:-
ties for the mill and power plant en-
ployes, number of new residences
were constructed on the Mascot town
site. They are models of convent
ence and neatness. Water and sewer
systems were installed, and the hous-
es are electrically lighted and fur
nish all the conveniences and com-
forts found in a city residence Sew
eral residences were also built at the
Elma Camp and the Consolidated,
while warehouses and storage rooms
were erected both at the mines and
at the townsite.

REPORT SHOWS
ARIZONA CATTLE
ALMOST NORMAL

According to reports received from
different sections of the state by
the Arizona Cattleman and Farmer,
the cattle of Arizona Row show q
condition of SO per cent of normal.
This figure realtes to- conditions for
September 1, and is four points lower
than figures for September I, 1925
1T is believed that the recent rains
of the past few weeks will bring the
average of cattle to an even higher
standard because of the Improvement
in the range.
According to the reports from the
Arizona Livestock Sanitary board
there were 1852 head OF cart1e
moved toIpoints outside the state dur
which is slightly lower than the
movement for the corresponding per-
iod last year, there was 1896 head
shipped during that time.
To June 80 this year, approximately
50 per cent of Arizona's cattle move
nent was in California. Colorado re-
ceived the next highest number be-
ing 25,350 head. There was 1852
head moved to Texas; 5,074 head to
Old Mexico; and 6,532 to New Mexico
Sheep
The decline in the condition of
sheep during the past month has not
been so pronounced as in the case or
cattle. On August 1 a condition or 80
was reported while for September :,
it was 88. This is points below the
figure reported on the corresponding
Gate last year. Unless conditions arc
extremely unfavorab1e not much de-
cline can be expected the current
month.
There seems to have been the usuai
demand for old ewes for early lamb
ing. Some feed has already been con-
tracted in the Salt river valley.
Heavy, early seeding of grain with al
falfa will probably offer sufficient
amount of green fed for use OF those
who produce Easter lambs.
While few contracts have been re-
Gently reported, prices seem to range
from 10 1-2 cents to II cents. Over
all of the western range sheep coun-
try, lambs seem to be in from good
to excellent condition. Probably
many of the fall lambs offered will
be rather heavy. Feeders of the
middlewest are reluctant to contract
and offers made are considera bly, un-
der the prices prevailing on the
range.
