Arizona's Metal
Production Gains
Heavily In 1885

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-(AP)
Arizona metal production in 1885
showed a 63 per cent increase with
copper responsible for the major
share of the advance, the bureau
of mines announced today.
Reports from mines, mints and
smelters, although incomplete, the
bureau reported, placed the value
of recoverable gold, silver, copper,
lead and zinc produced by Arizona
mones at $37,382,989.
The increase, for which greater
production and higher average
prices of copper, silver, lead and
zinc were credited, was $14,O90,839
above the 1884 production vale of
$23,292,15O.
Arizona copper production in 1885
amounted to 279, 100000 pounds with
a value of $23,215, 100, which was
an increase of 60 per cent, or nearly
7S,0S2,213 pounds, worth $14,246,-
577.
Production of other principal
metals with comparative 1884 fig
cures included
Gold, 242,680 fine ounces COM
pared with 167,O24; silver, 6,222,Oo0
fine ounces compared with 4,448,-
474. lead, IS, $4,000 pounds COM
pared with 6,S77,216; and zinc, T.
632, S74 pounds compared with l.
S1O,279.
The bureau listed the principal
reasons for the increases as:
"The reopening and continued
operation of the United Verde mine,
which had been idle for nearly four
years; the large increase in the
production of copper from the New
COrnelia mine at Aio and the Miami
and Inspiration mines at Miami;
the substantial gain in the output
of siliceOus gold ore from mines
at Oatman, Katherine Mammoth,
Hillside, Prescott, Cordes and Oc.
tave; and the increase in the output
of lead from the Eagle -Picher prop
erty at Ruby and the 79 mine in
Gila county. Steady operations of
the Eagle-Picher mine resulted in
notable zinc production from Santa
Cruz county"
Largest Producer Named
Tie bureau reported the largest
Arizona copper producer was the
Cornelia mine. Next were the Cop
per Queen branch at Bisbee and
the United Verde mine at Jerome,
both operated by Phelps Dodge, the
Magma at Superior, Miami at
Miami and the United Verde ex-
tension at Jerome.
These six properties produced
about 100000 pounds of copper
or 90 per cent of the states total.

Beckett Gratified
BY Present Status
OfCopper Industry

DOUGLAS, Aug. 21-(AP)-The
present situation in the copper in
dustry gives a sound basis to the
price and production structure, P.
G. Beckett, president and gen
eral manager of Phelps Dodge Cor
poratio said today, adding that he
had not been advised of any con-
templated increase in copper pro-
duction by his company.
He said that "the present appar-
ent balance between consumption
and output of copper and reduction
of surplus stocks is gratifying"
"If general business, with the
consequent demand for copper, can
be increased Or even maintained at
present levels there is no reason
to feel that the present improved
position of copper will be disturbed
in the near future" Beckett eX
planned.
81 rather look for a continuation
of approximately the present out
put scale.
"No major improvemep pits, con-
struction work or general change
in operations are contemplated (by
Phelps Dodge at the present time. '
Phelps Dodge, Arizona's largest
copper producer, operates proper
ties at Bisbee, Douglas, Ajo, Jerome,
and Clarkdale.
Plans for increased production
as a result of the stronger demand
and approaching depletion of stocks
were announced earlier this week
in New York by the Kennecott Cop
per Company.
