UTAH COPPER REPORT MADE Average Per Pound Cost of Metal for First Quarter of 1923 8.825 Cents Utah Copper produced dur-ing the first quarter of the year 1923, 33,103,190 pounds, as compared with 31,495,654 pounds for the preceding quar-ter. Copper contained in con-centrates was 34,498,073 lbs. an average monthly production of 11,496, 357 pounds, accord-ing to President D. C. Jackling and Vice-Preside- nt and General Manager L. S. Cates' report to stockholders. Net profit from copper pro-duction for the first quarter of 1923 was $1,797,521.47, states the report. A miscellaneous in-come, including gold and silver, of $443,590.20 brought the total income to $2,241,11.67. Earnings for the first quar-ter were computed on the bas-is of 15,595 cents per pound for copper. A quarterly distribu-tion to stockholders of $1 per share was made on March 31, 1923, and amounted to $1,624,-49- 0. The total capping removed during the quarter was 505,-98- 6 cubic yards an average of 168,662 cubic yards per month, as compared with 416,896 cubic yards and 138,965 cubic yards, respectfully, for the previous quarter. The ore delivery department transported a total of 1,945,668 tons of ore, being an average of 21,619 tons per day, as com-pared with 1,766,838 tons and 1 8,205 "tons. respectlvelyr for the previous quarter. The Bingham & Garfield Railroad company transported a total of 260,395 tons of freight, or an average of 2893 tons per day. During the quar-ter the Arthur plant treated dry tons and the Mag-na plant 394,300 dry tons, a to-tal for both plants of 1,774.007 dry tons, or an increase of 126,-10- 0 tons, compared with the previous quarter. The average grade of ore treated at the mills was 1.17 per cent copper and the average recovery 83 per cent, as com-pared with 1.25 per cent and 79.27 per cent, respectively, for the previous quarter. The average cost per net pound of copper produced, in-cluding all fixed and general charges except depreciation and federal reserves and after cred-iting gold, silver and miscel-laneous earnings, was 8.825 . cents. Gold and silver and mis-cellaneous earnings amounted to 1.34 cents per pound of cop-per. Copper Is On Downward Trend For two months there has been an exceedingly small de-ma- nd for copper, both here and abroad, and as there is always some copper held by traders and by producing interests who do not sell a great deal of their copper far ahead, some of the metal has been offered at suffi-cient concessions to move , it. Meanwhile buyers of copper and brass products have not been asleep ,and noting the price decline in raw materials have been cautious about order-ing so that, while th brass and wire companies are still work-ing so that, while the bras3 and possible, thy have hot bo many orders on their books as they had two or three months ago. The lack of domestic buying cannot last much longer, but when it resumes it is likely to be on the extravagant scale of January and February. Fur-thermore production has in-creased markedly in the last few months, so that it is more than ever necessary for foreign consumers to take their share of copper. Unless the European demand shows much improve-ment soon, there is little likeli-hood of a marked strengthen-ing in the market here. Al-though costs of production of most things are greater now than in 1913, it is problematical if this is true, for copper, on ac-count of the greatly increased capacity of the low-co-st pro-ducers. This week copper has drop-ped in price somewhat and al-though one may be considered a pessimist for so saying, good times cannot last forever. Sud-den changes are dangerous, they are usually accompanied by perils. We who live in this great copper camp when the last collapse came know well what happened at that time, hundreds of men were thrown out of employment and many people had to depend on the generosity of the store-keepe- r, the butcher, the "baker, the coal man and many others for their daily sustenance. Do you real-ize what that meant to you at that time? Have you paid these people who kept the wolf from your door, or do" you shun them every time you meet them on the street? If the people of this camp learned a lesson at that time then everything is alright but how many are there who are still unconcerned and as long as the money continues to roll in still spend every dollar they make without any thought of the future. Meet some of our local bankers once in awhile and you can make yourself a real good fellow by starting a sa-in- gs account in either of the banks in Bingham. In a former article we stated there is bound to be re-acti- although it may take some time, the main idea is to look out for the future in-stead of throwing your money to the four winds secure your-self a little stocking of some kind, then when things turn for the worse you will no longer be dependent on anybody outside of your home for your everyday existence.
