OHIO COPPER HOLDS
UP ITS OPERATIONS
September Earnings Were
Good, Owing to Several
Things of Importance.

According to reports from New York
on Thursday, the September copper pro-
! duction OF the Ohio Copper company
measured $4,000 pounds. as compared
with 6So.i00 pounds in August, COL, 700
pounds In July and 5S7. 400 pounds in
June. 1t Is stated also that the ore
values last month showed a material i'm
provement over recent months. the COP
per content being approximately LOG per
cent as compared with L0l per cent In
August and LOIS per cent for the first
i've months OF the year, The better
grade of ore handled cannot but be OF
encouraging import to stockholders. for
the low copper content In the past, as
compared with tho original sampling OF
uuietinG factors in the companys op-
era tions.
AS to earnings, II is estimated that
September would net the company In tho
$1,000 in August. when the average
price Of copper was lower. This improve
ment also will be encouraging, The com
Dany is handling about 10000 TO $4,000
tons of ore monthly.
There is n way to daylight for the
Ohio Copper somewhere. and there are
great many western stockholders who
have retained their interests throughout
years who are unalterably Of the opin-
ion that this outbound trail will be dis
covered, from which time on their trou-
bles will be memories only. The off
CleilS dpIaIenlIy DeIlc!9 inc new COLI
centratIng processes to be Installed at the
Lark mill will serve to round off many
OF the rough edges, and the conviction is
spreading fast that the real trouble lies
In the low grade cha aracter of the ore
and the low percentage OF recovery Mt the
mill.
The complaint over the ownership Of
the Mascotte tunnel not being vested In
the Ohio Copper company itself has not
been inspired by the belief that cheaper
transporta ton might or should be ac
Quired under different circumstances, but
have believed that the tun
mel Is so much on essential part of the
that the company should own
il outright. There are few propositions
that have received harder knocks than
the Ohio, and there are few mining
whose success means more.
