HUMBOLDT SHELTER
 CAPACITY IS BEING
 GREATLY INCREASED
Output of Consolidated Ari-
 zona Plant Will Be Substan- ially Larger When lm- provements Are Completed.

PRESCOTT, August 4.-The Consol- dated Arizona Smelling Company is gradually enlarging its shelter at Humboldt, and that work will be com pleted by November 1st. Because cer- tain parts of the shelter are to be remodeled, it is not known to just what capacity it will be possible to enlarge the plant. but it is understood that the additions that are being made will permit a substantial increase in the present output.
 At the present time the capacity of the Consolidated Arizona smelter is approximately 1s,sOO.OO0 pounds year lyon the basis of May production or 1 ,65O, 900 pounds-of which between 5. 5.OOO, 900 and 6,OOO,OOO pounds came from the consolidated Arizona's own Blue Bell and DeSota mines, while the balance is custom ore. chiefly Arizona Binghamton and United Verde Exten- sion.
 The enlargement of the smelling capacity should mean a substantial in crease in the earnings of the Consoli- dated Arizona Company. and. while it has not been announced. it is believed that arrangements have already been made to increase the present quantity of custom business.
 It will be remembered that the re- port of the first three months of this year showed a profit of s263,713 on a shelter production of 4,7s0.00O pounds of copper, 1,75S ounces of gold and 4S.251 ounces of silver. This showing is considerably greater than that made
 in 1916, and 1t is figured that the last quarter of this year, with increased
 smelter capacity, should show a con
 siderable increase over present earn l ings.
 The recent declaration of per cent dividends per cent payable August 15( and 1 per cent payable November
 15th-has made the investing public feel confident of the outcome in the
 future, and every effort to enlarge the
 earning capacity of the property is being watched with increasing inter est.

COST OF PRODUCING COPPER TODAY IS GREATEST SINCE CIVIL WAR, IS
 OPINION OF EASTERN AUTHORITY

mand, but every other metal went soaring to ridiculous heights; zinc was ungettable at three times its for mer price, steel increased in value three-fold and manganese for a time disappeared from sight.
 To-day there is a shortage of lead staring us in the race. The British government is paying 15 cents for zinc in the western provinces of Canada and the United States is haggling over a proposed price of II cents.
 "The Question of Costs.
 While copper costs have increased nearly cents a pound, sale of cop per at 25 cents. or more than cents a pound under last years maximum price. has been held up until an army of bookkeepers can find out that which no man and no set of men in the world can declare to be true-the exact cost of producing copper.
 '1t is safe to assert that in the pres ent condition of copper mining today's half output is being made at the high est costs known since the time of our Civil war. and the cost is increasing so rapidly under present conditions of disorder that no estimate can be made of present or future costs. Of what value in the present are estimat- ed costs of the past?
 Like our boasted valuation of rail- roads at an eXDense of $100 000, 900 to find out past, present and future costs that ustice may obtain, the expenGi- ture is worse than useless and justice is deferred.
 Outside of the explored porphyry copper deposits nobody knows the as sets in a copper mine. Nobody can make a fair allowance for the deple' ton of ore. when onyl a few years ore is in sight. Upon the unknown ore value of an invisible ore body is dependent the whole value of the mil lions invested in construction and equipment. They are absolutely value less at the end of the ore body.

BOSTON. August 4.-The program undertaken two years ago for increas- ing capacity of the copper reflneries of the United States has proved a much more difficult task than antici- pated. chiefly on account of delays in delivering machinery. The aggre- gate capacity now exceeds 20O,000.000 pounds a month. but this figure by the end of the year should be swelled to more than 230.O00.000 pounds.
