The tremendously increased interest in gold has created a great demand for information about Arizona's gold resources, which this bulletin is intended to supply. Because Arizona has for many years produced more copper than any other state in the Union, it is not generally recognized that gold ores are widely distributed throughout the State, and it is the hope of the authors that the publication of the facts will attract more capital to Arizona for the development of her gold deposits. It is also hoped that the sections on working small gold lodes, on the laws and regulations relating to the location and retention of lode claims, and on prospecting for gold will be helpful to inexperienced prospectors.
