NO. 29 Utah Copper Mine Htlds Enviable Record A notable record was achiev-ed by the Utah Copper company for the third quarter of this year. Output was increased to 59,084,546 pounds as compared with 47,646,423 pounds and 33, 103,190 pounds for the first two quarters of the year, and the average cost reduced to 8.051 cents a pound, including all fix-ed and general charges except depreciation and after crediting gold and silver and miscellan-eous charges, as compared with 8.077 cents for the preceding quarter. Morover, using figures for the first quarter of the year, earn-ings were nearly doubled during the third quarter, notwithstand-ing the decline in the price of metals, total income for the 3 months ending September 30 be-ing $4,035,095.52 as compared with $2,241,111.67 for the first three months of 1923. The reduction in costs and the increase in earnings in the face of a soft metal market is the more remarkable because it was accomplished notwithstanding the average grade of ore treat-ed dropped to 1.12 per cent as compared with 1.15 per cent for the quarter preceding and the value of gold and silver recover-ed but 1.077 cents a pound as compared with 1.266 cents for the previous three months. Recoveries for both quarters averaged 82 per cent. During the quarter the Arth-ur Plant treated 1,794,100 dry tons of ere and the Magna plant 1,548,900 dry tons, a total for both Dlants of 3.343.000 dry tons, or an increase of 719,000 tons compared with the pre-vious quarter. Earnings for the third quar-ter are computed on the basis of 14.88 cents per pound for cop-per, as compared with 14.723 cents for the previous quarter and 15.595 cents for the first quarter. A quarterly distribution to stockholders of $1 per share was made on September 29, 1923, and amounted to $1,624,490. The total capping removed during the quarter was 664,218 cubic yards, as compared with 638,221 cubic yards for the pre-vious quarter. The ore delivery department transported a total of 3,510,079 tons of ore, an average of 88, 153 tons per diem, as compared with 2,796,859 tons and 30,734 tons, fespectively, for the pre-vious quarter. The Bingham & Garfield Rail-way company transported a to-tal of 367,876 tons of freight or an average of 3999 tons per diem. Bingham Men Interested Io Texas Oil Well tr. F. E. Turner, Superintendent of the Ohio Copper Co., return-ed from Texas the past week where he spent several days in- -' . specting the holdings of the Baxter Basin Oil Syndicate, an organization which is being .backed by Bingham and Salt Lake business men, who were interested enough in their ven-ture as to have Mr. Turner make a trip back there to in-vestigate the proposition for them. So enthused was Mr. F. E. Turner with what he saw, on his return he immediately wrote out a check for $750.00 to pur-chase some holdings in the Syn- -' dicate. He says the outlook for the Baxter Basin well is most promising. Two of the big geologists of that section of the Country, State Geologist D. W. Morrow and Earl A. Wyatt have report-ed favorably on the structure on which is situated the acreage of the Baxter Basin field. The log of the well checks ac-curately with the forecasts so made by these geologists, and is said to be practically identical with those of the big : producers in the remarkable Powell field, which is twenty two miles west of the Baxter Basin well and is producing on an average of 400,000 barrels of , oil daily, from an area nine miles long. The Baxter Basin well is now down to depth of 3216 feet ac- - v cording to Field Superintendent ; J. B. Davidson, a driller of ma- -' ny years experience. It is estimated the company expects to reach the objective stratum within the next few weeks when they hope to attain 4 the 3540 foot mark. The com-ipan- y is doing its drilling with a ' complete standard rotary rig, ; power for drilling is derived : ; from two forty-fiv- e horse power boilers, which Mr. Tunrer states is in first class condition and ,. . everything necessary for the . 'completion of the well is at v hand. : C. E. Bass, of Salt Lake City, who is interested in the propo-sition, left for the property on - Thursday and intends to remain there until the well is complet-- ed. .. , Transportation facilities are said to be ideal, the company's , .i V holdings being situate about ten V miles from Athens and three miles from the station of Larue, r and are crossed by railroads. - W. E. Evans, of Salt Lake, is managing trustee; L. L. Bagley " and Field Superintendent J. B. Davidson are also trustees. Francis Cope is Secretary- - . ' Treasurer. ' ' In addition to . holding 1100 V acres in the heart of tlm prora- - i ising oil section, , the company also owns 5,000 acres on the Baxter Basin, Wyoming struc-ture. ..' wild at Deputy Edgington.

Corfman, of the Public Utilities commission of Salt Lake made the principal speech.
