for copper production from vast bodies

are mined and treated at small cost

ed. while the red metal is produced
sparingly and only as by-product in
refractory formations associated with
other ores with consequent high treat
ment charge burdens to Withstand.
The Colorado chapter. of the Mining
Congress as also the mine operators
OF Utah are canvassing the situation,
the Utahnians finding a grievance also
in being out-classed by Montana and
Arizona in both tonnage. values and
percentage Of copper produced, includ-
ing the lower costs Of production and

is being projected by these organiza-
tions with q view Of securing q more
