as a source of power in seward peninsula alaska tons of coal were imported in 1912 in spite of alanskas great coal resources not over tens were mined in the entire territory in 1912 alaska is sadly in need of a statute allowing her to mine her ow own coal under adequate terms the report of the south hecla mining company operating at alta utah for the year ending august 31 shows that there were fifty feet of shaft enking sn sl king lhing feet of 0 drifting and feet of raising for the purpose of exploration there were mined and marketed pounds of dry crud cru 1 ie e ore for which the company received the sum of about two thirds of this ore was scoped from the no 1 above the dwyer level on the wedge vein the balance coming from different points on the dwyer level and below the dwyer level the production of gold in arizona in 1912 was ounces valued at an increase in value of of this output ounces came calme from placers av 11 ounces from dry or ore and ounces from froin copper ore from froin bullion recovered in gold and silver mills ounces were produced concentrate yielded 10 ounces and crude ore sent to smelters shelters sm elters contained SS ounces the largest production of gold was from mohave county 1899 in 1912 against in 1911 the production of lead in arizona in in 1912 was pounds valued at 1 against pounds valued at in 1911 cochise county is credited with pounds valued at 9 the largest part of which was derived from tile the copper mines in ill the warren district mohave county followed with wath pounds increased output was made in 1912 from yavapai county but there was a decrease in santa cruz county concentrates yielded pounds of lead in arizona in 1912 and pounds were contained in ill crude ore sent to smelters shelters sm elters second among adiong the mineral products of arizona is gold in which the state ranks seventh another important mineral product is silver in which arizona ranks sixth in production the three metals cop per gold and silver constitute nearly 98 per cent of the total production of the state the god production in 1912 was fine ounces valued at and the silver production was ounces valued at nearly one third of the gold output as s obtained in the reduction tion oi of copper ores and most of the silver also comes from copper ores montana ranks seventh among the states in the total value of its mineral products and second in the ithe production of copper for which arizona stands first the production of copper in both states according to E W parker of the united states geological survey increased notably in 1912 in montana tana from pounds valued at in 1911 to pounds valued at in 1912 and in arizona from pounds valued at in 1911 to 1 pounds valued at in 1912 the total value of naneral maeral production was in 1911 and in 1912 an increase of the copper output approximates 70 per cent of the total the lucky deposit mining company L G hardy manager operating at aurum is highly pleased with mine conditions at the present time the main tunnel level has been in a good grade of ore almost from its portal recently a was started and this has already been sunk to a depth of twenty feet without cutting the of the deposit and the ore carries values of from 8 to 17 per cent copper and from 9 to 12 ounces silver to the ton this is on ono 3 1 of the largest bodies of high grade copper ore ever encountered in that section the vein is a contact between lime and quartzite with a 45 degree dip and is at least twenty five or thirty feet in width the outlook for the company is most encouraging arizona ranks first among the states in the production of copper and copper mining is by far the mainstay of the mining industry of the state according to E W parker of the united states geological survey the recoverable coverable le copper content of the ores pro raced in arizona in 1912 was rounds pounds a million pounds a day the value of this product was in 1911 the recoverable copper content of the ores produced in arzona arizona was pounds valued at tile the increase in 1912 was pounds or per cent in quantity and or per cent in value the total value of the rii mineral products of the state in 1911 was in 1912 it was an ail increase of over 50 per cent the large increase in the production of copper was due principally to the development of steam shovel operations on oil the low grade and porphyry
