Show Iljj One lore Record I : lade in Diggin's i j I Enormous Tonnages of Ore Required II ( to Supply Valley Smolters Dur- 1 inrj October. I With which to meet the requirements Ijj'j of tlie valley furnaces during October, N nccordlng to the rep'orts Just compiled 1 j ;l at the respective ofTicos In Ibis city, the J producer was called upon to supply I j 1 f them with no less than 107,000 tons of It ore, without reference to the crude ton- ll'V nages that were reduced to matte and I) ' concentrates during the same period. I In addition to tills, not less than 10.000 I'yj! tons of ore was shipped to plants wlth- V $ out the State for reduction, the greater 3;1 portion of the latter Issuing from the 1 1 V bonanzas of Park City. The record lit1 upon which October closed exceeds all I i previous ones, and there Is no reason Vj to believe other than that this record j) j will crumble beneath the weight of No- I. J vember's output. In this vast tonnage j was Included ores of every variety, and j while all the metals were present, cop- j per again asserted Its preponderance. $ A revised report of the copper produc- i ! tlon for the month shows an output of M that metal a little In excess of 5.000,000 j l, pounds, and yet It Is notorious that not llfl, one of the plants was operated at ca- 1 paclty. Gold also showed a pronounced ! jl Increase according to the exhibits, not ( ,ii a little of this Increase coming with ij consignments from Tonopah and Gold- L field. Not quite so pronounced was J J' the Increase In silver, although It Is a well defined one, lead maintaining Its ; J usual tonnage. During the next sixty i. ' days there Is every reason to believe t that great gains will be made In the i production of all these metals, while ' j the output for the year will close upon ' i an unprecedented production of each. ! In the Increased production of cop- j per the furnace at the Tampa smelter j and the big mill In Bingham canyon, J't operated by the Utah Copper com- J pany. as well as the Ohio Copper com- pany's plant, were the more prominent !j factors, with each of these plants to I i Increase Its output before the close of i the year. |
