Copper Range.

The production of the three Copper

months of the year shows little chang,
as compared with 1911.
As respects the Consolidated com.
pany, The cost was probably, If any
thing, a trihe higher, as Battles out
gut FOR this period was about 500, O0(
pounds less. which was Offset by a
gain Of about the same amount in
Trimountain.
The latter is. of course, rather a
higher cost producer For the full
year therefore, IT is not likely that the
cost per pound will show very much
variation from that OF 1911. which
was ga cents.
With about the same production
and costs the earnings of the Consol-
dated company this year viii be
equivalent to about 81 per share as
against 81 last year; that is to say, If
