he taken for some time
Each meeting had nothing more than
routine business on the program The

rolled in the Federation. The new in
dependent organization, which has
broken from the Federation's jurisdic-
tion had 3,l57 names on its books last

UTAH COPPER.

Utah Copper's output in May exceed
ed the previous high total of April by
nearly half million pounds, with a
production of 13.616,99S pounds.
In the first five months of this year
Utah Copper has produced 59,596,000
pounds. comparing with 44,OS0,0OO in
1913 and almost exactly the same
amount in 1912.
This is an increase i'm one year of
35 per cent.
II is hardly necessary To say that
such very large rate of production
is accompanied by low costs; in fact
the performance for the second quar-
ter promises To be one of the best in
the company's history.
The strength OF the company's posi-
tion is seen i'm the fact that i'm these
five months the earnings from its own
property plus pro rata income from
Nevada Consolidated. must have been
very close TO a fun years dividend re-
duirements at the current rate this
