SALH1A FEED & SUPPLY PHCNE JA 9-77- 61 - SALINA SAVE THE TOP OF YOUR CROP! 'MR-- During the past 10 years the cost of producing copper has increased a staggering 139 at Kennecotts Utah operations. By comparison, the cost of living index has gone up 27. ' The story of rising costs can be told again and again in every phase of Kennecotts operations. Supplies and services, including wages, are higher now than they were 10 years ago. And there have been changes at the mine. More waste material must be removed to uncover the ore, and the ore itself contains less copper. As a result, much greater quantities of material must be handled to produce the same amount of copper. Because Kennecott controls neither the price of the copper it sells, nor all of its production costs, the problems created by rising costs can be met only by achieving maximum efficiency and economy in all operations. We are trying to accomplish this now by a program of improvements. It is a continuing program that seeks economy and efficiency through improved equipment, the development of better operating methods, the most effective use of supplies and the most efficient use of the work force. The program helps Kennecott produce copper successfully. It helps Kennecott continue to be a productive member of the community, and so produce economic benefits that are so important to the prosperity of our entire state. Source: U. S.
