JACKLING’C COPPER MINE
WORLD’S LARGEST PRODUCER
BOSTON: The Utah Copper Com
pany, whose critics of less than a
decade ago were sure that the treat
ment of its low-grade ore could
never be brought to a commercial
purpose, produced in August nearly
16.000. 000 pounds of copper, or at
the rate of 192,000,000 pounds per
annum. This was a high record by
1,252,000 pounds, and except by the ,
Anaconda has never been even re
motely approached by any other cop
per producer in the world. Strictly
speaking Utah Copper is by far the
biggest individual producer in the
world today, as the Anaconda’s out
put of rising 20,000,000 pounds per
month comes from a group of mines
under one management.
It is not to be presumed that the
Utah Cbpper Company can keep up
this tremendous pace throughout
the entire year, as the winter months
necessarily slow up steam-shovel op
erations. But for the 1915 calen
dar year the company’s output
should easily reach 150,000,000
pounds, thereby beating 1914, the
best previous year, by nearly 30,000
000 pounds. Up to the first of Sep
tember, the production was 97,600,
000 pounds, leaving but 52,000,000
pounds, or 13,000,000 pounds per
month, to be produced in the last
four months in order to attain the
160.000. 000 mark.
It goes without saying that on the
basis of production for the past two
or three months the Utah Copper Co.
is rolling up a big cash surplus after
the payment of its diviuends. At the
rate of $4 per share, the dividends
call for $6,500,000 per year. On the
basis of the August operations, and
figuring copper at 18 Cents, dividends
are being earned three times over,
without taking into account the
equity of the Nevada Consolidated
earnings.
It is not safe, of course, to figure
the Utah’s earnings for a year on the
basis of the big August achievement,
which, however, is significant in its
bearing on the year-end "extra” div
idend which may be paid to share
holders.—Boston News Bureau.
