Mines and Mining Stocks

entire ground. about 10000 tons. at one
blast
The cost will be twenty-five tons dyna-
mite, $625.
Labor. literally estimated, $500. Total.
S2125.
Here is a mining cost of triffe over l
cent per ton. to which can be added the
item of loading and the general cost of
working organization, taxes, etc
/ think after reading the above you will
see prospective mining cost of within
2 cents per ton, and this is really what
the management is aiming for.
Passing from the mine end l wish you
to note that the Utah Copper owns its
entire system of tracks through the por-
phyry, and, what is more important the
sO-called high line leading from the mine
10 the d. & r. G. yards at the mouth OF
the canyon. The high line is about four
teen miles long. while the actual distance
thus reachedtby an air line is less than
five miles. The companys entire output
Is forwarded via the high line to the d.
az r. G.. tracks at the mouth of the can
yon, thence by the latter to Garfield. Not
a ton of Utah Copper ore is hauled
through the base of the canyon. The Utah
Copper also owns all of its track APP
proaches to the Garfield mill from the D.
* r. @. main line.
Note, then. the strong position-any time
the Utah Copper desires they can have
their OWN track built and in complete OPP
Grafton within four months. This does
not look much like being at the mercy of
the ID. & r. g.
TIE Boston Consolidated shipments are
also forwarded by the high line of the
Utah Copper.
Regarding the Utah Copper mill, ore
shipments to this plant alone the past
two weeks have exceeded 5000 tons daily.
To be more exact $500 tons The nine ac-
tive sections. when operating full time.
have shown daily capacity of about 5000
tons. But the necessary shut-downs for
various reasons cause a loss of service
varying from 10 to Is per cent. The conf
pany is now treating total-both mills
of about $500 tons daily. Tenth section
starts next week.
When in complete working order the
Garfield plant win have a maximum daily
capacity of 5000 tons, but the best re-
suits in the way of recovery will be eff
fected from treatment of 5000 tons. Were
copper to rule at very high figures 1t
would be considered good business policy
TO disregard the most effective recovery
and draw to the greatest possible on the
ore reserves; in fact, TO the maximum
capacity of the plant. The mill recovery
is being carried to the furthest point that
viii permit of a profit. Thirteen thou
sand horsepower is provided at the COM
pany's electrical power plant at Garfield,
the largest in this country west of Chi

BUllI0N-BECK GETS
MONEY FOR DIVIDENDS

As a result of the deal by which the
Bullion-Beck company agreed on a YER
teal division line with the Centennial
Eureka company d short time ago and
decided to the latter certain fractional
portions of claims for a consideration
variously stated at s135,000 to $4,000, the
company was able to post a dividend of
10 cents a share, or $4,000. Monday. The
books closed yesterday and payment will
be made on Saturday.
While the sale of the fractional pieces
of ground to the Centennial Eureka COM
pany does not detract at all from the
value of Bullion-Beck ground, it makes
possible the establishment of a much
straighter line of demarkation between
the two mines, and it was largely for
that reason, 1t is said, that the Centen-
nial-Eureka was willing to pay the mon
ey necessary to close the deal.
1t has been understood that the Bull
lion Beck company was, previous to the
consummation of this deal. something
like $4,000 to $4,000 in debt 1t has there
fore been able to clear the slate of all
outstanding accounts and still hold a re-
serve OF probably more than $4,000, or
five months dividends at the rate of the
distribution just ordered. Like most of
the Tintic mines. there has been little
doing at the Bullion Beck since the drop
in the price of metals made Ii undesiT-
able to operate the mine.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Colorado Strike and Smelter Outlook
Makes Lively Market.

1t looked a little more like old times
at the stock exchange yesterday. There
was an unusually large number of spec
tators in attendance and the way stocks
moved was good to see. There was
natural reaction in the afternoon, but for
all that everything closed well above the
prevailing prices Monday Colorado
came within a point of reaching SO, and
Uncle SAM Beck Tunnel. Crown Point
and a number of others helped to raise
the general average of the days prices
The move shows how delicately poised
the market is; it shows, also. that bot
tom has more than likely been reached

calls a total of 1O7,1 35 shares of stock
with a selling value of s66,54S.50, changed
hands Following is the list of final
