 10 Outside newspapers seem to take a delight in referring to the plant of the Arizona Copper company of Cliff ten, in rather unpleasant language. These reports perhaps do not embar- rass the Arizona Copper company, but il should be given credit for what iJ is doing in the production of copper. ' The Arizona Copper company is the heaviest producer in the Clifton-MO- renci district, producing an average monthly output of nearly 5000, ,000 pounds at a cheaper cost than most i of the companies in this territory. Another advantage of this company is the ownership of unlimited ore bodies actually developed. II might be true that the company could increase it's output to considerable extent and al, so cheapen its cost of production, but. judging from what copper is costing other companies. there seems tO be some doubt of it. This company has been operating in this district many years and has always continued active operations whether copper was selling :, st 10 Or % cents i,cr pound. which ' ,is more than can be said of some iof the other fiourishinS copper camps of the United States.
