ProspectsBright
for NewSmelter
con. COP.pERMINES OFFICIALS.
WHILE NOT DISCUSSING PROP
OSlTiON. DID NOT DENY BUILD
ING RUNORS.

Fiom the impression made by the
managers of the Coprermines COM
pany Curing their visit To the district
last week il appears that the build
.us of smelto. in the nea' future is
no longer merely a dream Of the op-
timistic, but a fact that may before
long become tangible.
Just where the smelter may be To-
Gated Is purely a guess, not the
slightest suggestion as TO the posi-
ton having been obtained from the
conversation of the men interested.
They did not. however. discourage
any remarks relative to the construc-
ton of a plant in the near future.
Ii would appear reasonable that
before long the company would need
a smelter to treat its ores when it
begins to produce. as the work of the
experimental mill developed an ex~
oeptionally high percentage in the re-
'oNtiN VI NoPPtis '' " ''''
tests which indicated an S2.S per
cent saving obtained from ore aver
aging 1.27 per cent copper. 1t would
appear from this that there would be
ne advantage to the comapny to have
its ores treated elsewhere.
In the five and one-half miles of un
derground workings on the conf
pany's property there are 27 faces of
ore and large deposits are available
for steam shovel operations. IL is
said the company could produce two
hundred tons of ore per day averag-
ing per cent copper on few days
notice.
The company is advertising for
miners and lack OF men alone pre-
vents more rapid development than
is nov being carried on, although
the force is being increased daily. In
dications are that more extensive
work will be undertaken during the

PEACE TERMS WILL TAKE ALL
MILITARY pep OUT Of AUSTRIA

next month at the mines, as the float
ing of the bond issue for 81 900. 900
tends to the belief that no let-up is
contemplated.
While the price of the metal might
tend to delay construction OF "a
smelter, il would seem an opportune
time to build. as labor is plentiful
and the copper market looks like an
Unprecedented boom within the next
full swing.

COST OF COPPER PRODUCTION DROPS

they showed losses of S299.535 and
S639. .299. respectively.
The quartette, however. has been
able 10 reduce materially costs of
production since the third quarter of
last year. They are advantageously
situated as regards labor. Theirs is
primarily a mechanical process and
no great disruption of organization

was to reduce the working forces and
wages.
Notwithstanding output has been
cut to 80 per cent, costs have taken
a decided slump compared with the
war levels. Utah has reduced its
per-pound figure nearly three cents
over the Dec. 81 quarter; Chino cut
its cost about a cent and compared
with the third quarter shaved 1t
down over four per cent; Ray and
Nevada Consolidated each reduced
costs. the former five cents and the
latter four cents, compared to the
third quarter of 1918.
The extent to which surplus ac-
counts have been tapped together
with comparison of costs for the last
three quarters is seen in the follow
