Ihere are those who believe the Utah
Copper company Will be tho big holding
company for the gigantic copper merger
which is one OF the next stops ON the
bcred that the company absorbed the
Boston Consolidated company, and IL
now holds in its treasury enough stock
TO give ii safe control OF the Nevada
Consolidated company while tho Nevada
Consolidated company has eaten up tho
Cumberland Ely company. This much OF
the programme, therefore. has already
been worked out. The Utah Copper In
terests hold the control OF the Ray Con-
solldated and the Chino companies, tho
Ray Consolidated already having secured
over 30 per cent of the ella Coppes stock
interests on the way to a merger In that
part of the country.
From the standpoint OF developed and
indicated ore tonnage. and from tho
copper Tor very low cost per pound.
taking further into consideration the
large amount of copper controlled an
mually by the Utah Copper interests, the
Utah Copper company is pre- -eminently
fitted for the task OF marshalIng to-
gether the porphyry propositions OF the
country In the process OF establishing a
copper combination fashioned along the
Steel trust lines. Tho recent addition to
the mill capacity at Garfield certainly
gives greater prestige to this organiza-
ton and, by the way, places the COM
pany in ideal shape to reap the logical
rewards OF conditions resulting from the
current policy OF copper curtailment.
