COMPANY MAKES A
FINE SHOWING FOR JUNE

BISBEE, Aug. ls.-It is reported
from Calumet, the headquarters for the
Calumet & Arizona and Superior &
Pittsburg mining companies, that the
latter company for June earned $s5, 1000
net above all opera.' ~ expenses.
It would be surprising if the Super.
Tor q Pittsburg company has done as
well as this. Earnings Of $4,000 on
an output Of 100000 pounds per
montn would indicate a cost of eight
and half cents per pound Of copper,
figure which is almost incredible in
view of the high operating costs. An
enormous amount of underground dead
work has been necessary to open the
ore bodies at depth.
The Superior & Pittsburg has out.
standing 100000 shares of stock par
value $40. Earnings Of $4,000 per
month would be at the rate Of 20 cents
per share per annum for tae stock.
The Superior & Pittsburg company
has ahead of it heavy expenditures in
opening its mines below the l2OO.foot
level. 1t has expended millions in ere
ating forty miles of openings above the
l2oo'foot level in the five properties in
the consolidated company, which ex.
penditure proved unfruitful. Recent
developments would indicate that the
real ore bodies are below the 1900. foot
level.
