UTAH COPPER COMPANY AND DIVIDEND STATUS cents to cover y cent per pound for property charges and taxes and indicates that notwithstand-ing copper has advanced sharp-ly since late in 1922 Utah Cop-per and the same must hold true for the rest of the dividend paying .producers is earning no huge margin over dividend re-quirements. Because it adopted the policy a year ago of not publishing its monthly production of copper, Utah Copper company's resuts can be gleaned only from its quarterly reports That for the three months ended March 31, 1923. showed an increase injjut-pu- t. ln"that period Utafr-pff- c' duced 43,489,073 pounds of cop-per, compared with 2,716,291 pounds in the preceding three months. In March of this year the company made 12,60,955 pounds of copper, the largest month's output in four and a half years. The expansion being made in reduction facilities at both the Magna and Arthur plants is be-ginning to bear fruit. In the March 31 quarter Utah milled 1,774,700 tons of ore. This is at the rate of 7,098,800 tons an-nually, . and indicates rapid strides toward capacity of tons quarterly available bv the end of this year. At its current selling price and paying $4 annually, Utah copper yields 5.1 per cent. An increase to $5 annually, if the metal market in the coming weeks should justify it, would still call for a per pound profit of over 6 cents to cover dividend requirements, allowing for an output of over 152,000,000 pounds annually, the rate indi-cated in the month of March. Notwithstanding copper's ad-vance costs have kept pace and it is this situation that is caus-ing those companies which are not paying dividends to be cau-tious in resuming them; those that are paying have not much latitude for increasing. Virtually all of Utah's opera-tion is by. steam shovel mining, making for very low costs. But the rising tide of mining wages is apparent in the results for the first quarter of this year. Av-erage cost was 882 cents pjr pound, compared with 7.82 cents per pound for all of 1922. These figures are before depreciation taxes and depletion, and ng in the first three months of 1923 production showed an increase and recovery of metal values increased from 79.27 per cent to 83 per cent, costs jumped 1 cent a pound. Utah's "sale price" for its metal last quarter was 15.59 cents compared with 13.89 cents in the December three months. This figure is the result of averaging actual sales at prices made and unsold copper at 13 cents. It indicates that the company came close to selling all its first quarter production. Utah Copper in March 31 quarter earned net profits of $1.37 per share on its 1,624,490 shares before depreciation, de-pletion and taxes, against divi-dends requirements of $1 per share. On its production Utah had to earn a per pound profit of 6Va APPLICATION FOR STAGE LINE DENIED The Public Utilities Commis-sion decided that the present stage line operated by the Bing-ham Stage Line Company is furnishing the Bingham dis-trict with adequate service, and denied the application of Louis Panos permission to operate an automobile stage line between Salt Lake and Bingham.

ASKS CLEMENCY Steve Radich has filed appli-cation with the State Board of Pardons for clemency. Radich is serving an indeterminate term for manslaughter in the State Pentitentiary. While at work in the Utah-Ape- x mine In 1920 Radich quarreled with a fellow employee, the troub! started as a joke but on reacn-in- g the outside of the mine the trouble 'was renewed with the result Radich felled his antog-in- st with a pick, inflicting wounds which later resulted in his death. He began serving his sentence in December 1920. This makes the largest number of slayers to ask clemency of the state board at one time since it was" organized.
