More spirited bidding occurred after

trading affair but we believe that pref

on any marked downturn. The contrac-

cal position OF the market.

SHELTER TO START
At LOST PACKER
Will Treat Larger Tonnage
This Summer Than Ever
Before.

The smelling plant operations at the
Lost Packer mine are to be resumed
within q short time. James 1vers said
yesterday that they would be able to
treat a larger tonnage than had been
the experience In previous years The
furnaces can only be operated during the
summer months. as tho heavy winter
SHOWS and the extreme cold makes 1t
impracticable to keep the plant In COM
mission. A blister copper Is produced and
the metal shipped to the Garfield smelt-
CT.
a larger tonnage of ore has been placed
In sight underground during the year
than previously. The company has had
a force of miners developing and mining
ore during the winter months, and a
great deal Of gold and copper ore Is now
on the surface ready for treatment The
miners are still working on ore and will
probably have more ore in the bins dur
Ing the summer than can be treated by
the smelter during its short seasons
work.
The smelling plant can treat from 100
to $50 tons every twentyfour hours. The
plant has been repaired and overhauied
is expected. A haul of fifty miles over
land Ia made with this product after It
is treated, and wood is burned, thus saw
ing big expense on other fuel that
would have to be hauled in from the rail-
road.
The mine was taken over by Messrs.
Tvers, Welsh and associates several years
ago. BY reason of its distance from the
railroad operations have been necessarily
conducted on a limited scale. There has
never been any question about the ore
deposit being large and OF a good grade,
yet 1t is not an easy matter to get sup
plies and materials into the camp over
the steep mountain roads. The property
has been opened up by tunnels and the
greatest depth from the discovery point
reached is 300 feet The mine is In the
best physical condition In It's history.

W|LBERT MILL NOW
HANDLING MORE ORE
From 20 to rs Tons Per
Day Are Now Being
Treated.

Harry knight has returned from the
Wilbert mining properties In Idaho and
says that they are showing an improve
ment In the tonnage treated at the mill
plant each month They are now making
recoveries of about rs per cent OF the
values and operating on from seventy
TO seventy-fve tons OF ore daily. They
can raise this tonnage to ninety tons
and may decide that this will be the limit
for few months or until more eN-
tensive development work Is done in the
assures.
From the tonnage now treated there Is
being produced at the rate of thirty tons
Of concentrates daily. These concentrates
show assay values of 53 per cent lead and
extra teams have been put on to get
this product to the market as fast as
It is ready for shipping. The ore is sent
10 the local smelling plants and the COM
pany is now beginning TO show pronts
of several thousand dollars a month.
a force OF fifty men is employed at the
mine and mill and Is moving considerable
ries the ore down the mountain Side to
the mill plant by gravity force and the
cost of extraction and delivery Is very
cheap: The management is OF the oplh-
lon that In addition TO earning money
considerable amount OF ore can De
placed in sight within the year and war,

plant,
1t Is the plan of the company 70 start

ore development has been within short
distance from the surface and In places
where the greatest depth has been at
tained the product Is of a better grade
than that found nearer the surface. Two
assures have been demonstrated and the
engineers are OF the opinion that follow
ing these To depth will get much bet,

complished with the least delay possible
and very little Increase in operating cost
will be shown by this operation.

UTAH COPPER IS A
HUGE ENTERPRISE
Difficult for the Average
Mind to Grasp and
Comprehend.
HAS HAD BIG SUCCESS
Largest Deposits of Low
Grade Copper Ore Dis
covered.
HAS HAD BIG SUCCESS

George L. Walker, In commenting OF
Utah Copper. In part, says;
Utah Copper Is an enterprise OF
such immense proportions that 1t is
difficult for the average mind to
grasp and comprehend It This COM
pany has undertaken to extract and
treat the largest single deposit OF
low-srade copper ore that 30 far has
been discovered and demonstrated.
The management has gone about 1t
in an entirely original way and is
making phenomenal operating sue
cess. A man whose name stands ct
the top In the list of great captains
of Industry visited the property and
after spending a few hours there de-
clared: ''sureIy this is the eighth
wonder of the world"
This mans experience had made
him broad-minded enough so that he
could understand and appreciate the
immeneity OF Utah Copper's opera
tions. To the average mind. however,
the excavation and removal of mil
lions OF tons OF waste Gaping from a
steam shovel ore deposit means little
more than the moving Of hundreds OF
thousand tons. Few have any con-
ception Of what a million tons OF rock
means.
In its recently issued annual report
the general manager stated that the
total amount Of Gaping that had
. been removed up TO the end Of the
year 1912 was 17.2S9.723 cubic yards
II all this rock were quarried into
blocks 1t would supply the material
to build solid stone wall three and
a half feet high and foot wide ex-
tending entirely around the world,
It would make 466. S22,656 cubic foot
blocks, which, laid end to end. would
extend around the world three and a
half times. For further illustra-
ton. this waste rock that the COM
pany has blasted, loaded on trains,
hauled away and dumped would be
sufficient to pave six inches deep a
road forty-two feet wide extending
from New York to San Francisco.

Work Done in Seven Years.

All this work has been done In the
past seven years In the meantime
the company has extracted 81. zoos
tons Of ore. which is only about s
per cent Of the indicated total ton
mage in Its deposit, and earned suf-
ficient profit thereon to pay for re-
moving all this waste Gaping, for
its two gigantic concentrators, for all
Of It's mining and other equipment
and leave cash balance In bank.
Otherwise stated, Utah Copper is
now ION velvet" its net earnings to
date exceeding all the money 1t ever
received for securities sold and its
deferred stripping account combined
the par value OF It's outstanding capi-
tai stock, plus all it issued to purchase
Boston Consolidated and control of
Nevada Consolidated, and also ali 1t
pletely absorbed the outstanding
bonds Of the Bingham & Garfield
railway and become the exclusive
owner OF that magnificent railroad
property.
1t was decided by the management
In the beginning that the actual cost
OF the copper recovered from the COM
pany's ground would be the total
amount expended in the development
and equipment Of the property. plus
ali mining, transportation, milling,
smelling, selling and managemental
expenses. Therefore, it was arranged
to spread the great expense of re-
moving the 100 or more feet OF waste
rock, which lies on top of the ore de-
posit, over the entire tonnage of ore
below. This was arrived at by the
deferred stripping account, which has
caused the management and the en-
terprise to be so widely and so Bit
tcrly criticised by those who had
formed other habits Of mind.
Surveys show that there is an av-
erage OF three and a half to four tons
OF profitable ore under every ton Of
this waste capping, the thickness Of
the Gaping averaging 10 feet and
that of the ore 424 feet, and the lat
ter being the heavier material. The
cost OF removing the Gaping is about
1Sa cents a ton, or around cents
per ton of ore uncovered. However,
the mana cement is charging 7s cents
OF stripping expense TO every ton OF
ore mined with its steam shovels be-
fore arriving at the cost Of producing
a pound OF copper.

CLAIMED DEALERS EvADE
PAYMENT AUTO LICENSE

Des Moines, Ia Oct. 29.-An import
Gnt change in the automobile tax law
will be urged before the next lcgisla-
ture. 1t relates to dealers numbers 1t
will be proposed that this bothersome
matter be abolished entirely.
County officials and the state depart
ments have more trouble over the
dealers number idea than anything
else.
The dealers number does not pro-
tect-the car owner from ordinary taxa
ton, but cars with these numbers on
them are subject to assessment as
other personal property. But this fact
is ignored in many places and deal
ers' number is accepted in lieu OF
taxes.
A great many dealers in the state in
sist upon making use of number plates
of their own make, either pasteboard
numbers or tin ones painted: but the
use of such numbers is contrary to law
and their use subjects the users to
fines. 1t has seemingly been impos-
sible to secure uniformity in the state
on this subject Not only must the
original number plates, but each and
every duplicate, be secured from the
secretary of state and be official.
