smelter companies made or are making, important, betterments. Among the big porphyry com companies - panies companies the Ray Consolidated completed and put in commission the last unit of its 8000-ton con concentrator - centrator concentrator in 1913, and its product is smelted by the American Smelting aud Refining Co., which blew in a new smelter at Hayden in 1912. The Miami Copper Co. completed a 3000-ton concentrat concentrator - or concentrator in 1912 and it is recently re reported - ported reported its capacity is to be in increased - creased increased twenty-five per cent. The Inspiration Consolidated com completed - pleted completed a 600-ton test mill in De December - cember December last, and after the best concentrating process is proven up, will build a 7,500-ton plant. The International Smelting and Refining Co. broke ground at Miami in November last for a new smelter of 90,000,000 pounds capacity and will smelt Inspira Inspiration - tion Inspiration concentrates. The aforementioned improve improvements - ments improvements represent millions of in investments - vestments investments and indicate an in increased - creased increased smelter capacity in 1914 of about 15 per cent over that of 1913. During the past few years the annual gold product has fluctuat fluctuated - ed fluctuated between $2,500,000 and $3,- 900,000, the value of the 1913 output. Many gold mines in the State have produced from SIOO,- 000 to $20,00*/,<loo and been aban abandoned - doned abandoned as worked out, and out of the hundreds of prospects today, old and new, many will doubtless be future fortune builders. The old Vulture, discovered in 1863, produced about $15,000,000, was afterwards closed for years, re revived - vived revived in 1908 and is at present producing handsomely. The La Fortuna produced about $600,000 was closed in 1907, and reopened last year, and is now making ex extensive - tensive extensive improvements with good tonnage of ore developed. The old Commonwealth completed a new 300-ton reduction plant in 1913 and is now operating at full capacity. Of the more recent big pro producers, - ducers, producers, the Gold Roads changed hands in 1911 for $1,200,000 cash and about $400,000 indebtedness assumed. The new company in increased - creased increased its milling capacity in 1912 from 225 to 350 tons daily, and its continued big bullion shipments tell the story of its prosperity.

The values of this yield are grat gratifying - ifying gratifying and in speaking of the initial operating of the machinery, Col. L. W. Getchell stated yesterday that the future of the property seemed to be assured. The concentrates, carry values of from $l5O to $250 in gold, silver and lead to the ton, with a 47 per cent product of zinc as an additional asset In short. After nearly a month of testing the zinc yield in itself proves re remunerative - munerative remunerative and gives the undertak undertaking - ing undertaking a decidedly interesting mineral rating. The plant makes three different separations, and all that is lacking to handle the iron condition is the installing of the cyanide treatment to recover the gold in these ores This will be done in a short time when a complete saving of all min minerals - erals minerals will be effected. The initial yield of this company comes from ores in the mine of low grade, and from the old dump that accumulated years ago and from the assays made the recovery was satisfactory. Beginning tonight the plant starts up. on a continuous day and night run, instead of one shift as heretofore. The old levels of the mine will be opened and the high grade ores extracted as well will sinking be actively prosecuted into zones that gave good values before the present company assumed own ownership. - ership. ownership.

The average value of ten of the leading stoks, among the most active of the listed, January 1. 1913, was $24.10, at the end of the year $21.00, and on first of present month was $22.40. There was fair market at home and abroad for the small produc producing - ing producing mines but the average non nonproducing - producing nonproducing prospects were neg neglected - lected neglected and stock values based on such were, in the majority of cases, almost wiped out. On the whole the State's in industries - mining, - dustries - mining, industries - mining, farming and stockraising - have borne the im impact - pact impact of the depression with steady - going prosperity and again emphasized the point that Arizona's chief industry marks the nation's greatest and most profitable mining field. The metallic product in 1913 reached a valuation of about $71,0000,000 of which $64,000,000 was in copper and $7,000,000 in gold, silver, lead and zinc.
