Utah Copper Has Favorable Aspect The Utah Copper Co. has shown itself to be one of the unusual companies in the cop-per industry by increasing its earnings each quarter, through increasing output with a slight lowering in cost, despite rapid drop in price of copper since March. The grade of ore has declin-ed somewhat as tonnage mined has gained . but comparison of 1 1 11 1 A secona ana vnira quarters re-sults when wages and cost of supplies were about the same, show that there are certain ton-nages with these large produ-cers above which there is no proportionate decrease in opera-ting costs. This is largely due to difficulty of keeping as close a watch on operations and in getting such good recoveries at the mill as when smaller ton-nages are being handled. The company probably will not increase output materially above rate for last quarter. However, due to reduction of wages, the last quarter's cost should show somewhat further decrease, in connection with the cost, depreciation comes to about half a cent a pound.
