About 400 tons Of ore of grade
between 81 and per cent copper
per ton and nearer the latter, which is
considerably higher than the average
treated at Utah Consolidated for sever
al years. is being sent daily to the In
tcrnational Smelling & Refining Co. s
plant at Tooele. This ore with losses
allowed for smelling should show a
recovery of from G5 to 70 pounds per
ton. This would indicate a monthly
production OF approximately $40, 900
pounds if the average is maintained
at this grc %. Due to the favorable de-
yclopmenlt s7t have taken place on
the proper. he management is of
the opinion that an average minimum
tonnage OF 500 tons daily will soon be
reached. Since the new ore body was
encountered on the tenth level. which
IT was claimed was running 4s per
cent copper per ton, the management
announces that recent developments
have showed the grade as high as
. per cent.
