Show Copper Bullion From Dixie. The management of the St. George Mining company yesterday forwarded a carload of copper bullion from the Dixie smelter at St. George which showed a gross weight of 46,000 pounds, the lot going to the Chicago refinery, On the same train the Highland Boy management tacked on a carload of copper bullion which tipped the scales at 60,170 pounds and which was lot No. 108. With the tonnage at the smelter now averaging nearly 300 a day, consignments con-signments of copper bullion will no doubt go forward at shorter intervals. The first lot of bullion sent out by the smelter was on June 13, 1899, and since that time the production of bullion has reached a total of nearly, 7,000,000 pounds, and yet it is said of the ore bodies in the mine that they have been little more than scratched.
