The Arizona copper camp., 1917-11-24
Second Quarter, 1917

--------------Z1, ,b56 ,o4Z
Average monthly production 7,218,1S1
In addition to the copper derived
from concentrating ores, there was a
total of 1,315,S14 pounds of copper
contained in ores sent direct to the
smelter. This, combined with the cop
per contained in the concentrates,
brings the total gross production for
the quarter up to 22,972,15O pounds,
as compared with 23,532,119 pounds
for the previous quarter.
During the quarter there was milled
9O1,300 dry tons, averaging 1929 per
cent. This tonnage corresponds to a
daily average of 9,797 tons, as COM
pared with 9,8O4 tons for the previous
quarter.
The mill extraction for the quarter
was 1875 per cent of total copper con-
tanned in concentrating ores, as COM
pared with 7548 per cent for the pre-
vious quarter.
The underground development for
the quarter was 16,159 feet, making
the total development to date 624,555
feet
The milling cost for the quarter
was 8S.46 cents per ton, as compared
with 1859 cents for the previous quar-
ter.
The average mining cost of ore
milled for the quarter was $116898
per ton, of which 5.163 cents was the
cost of coarse crushing, leaving the
net mining cost $1.11735 per ton, as
compared with a net cost of 98257
cents for the previous quarter.
The higher unit costs as compared
with those obtained during normal
operating conditions are explained. as
in previous reports, to be due to the
exceptionally high wages being paid,
the tremendous increase in the cost
of supplies and the higher state and
federal taxes.
The total amount set aside for coun-
ty, state and federal taxes during the
quarter was $254,13945
