The Mother Lode Coalition
Mines Company, when additions
to the Kennecott mill are com
pleted, expects to increase cop
per output by 1,000,000 pounds
monthly, bringing productiou to
3,000,000 pounds ,or at an annu
ai rate of 36,000,000 pounds* Con
tract with Kennecott, expiring
1928, for treatment at cost of 12,
000 tons of ore monthly, does not
imply restriction of copper out
put to 36,000,000 pounds, as it
can be increased by shipping
out a larger quantity ofhigh gra
de ores.
Production cost is estimated to
be the lowest in the world, It is
now less than 6,9 cents a pound,
including depreciation and taxes
against 7.6 cents for *21 and 8.66
cents for 1920,
Net earnings for the first tour
months of this year applicable
to the 2,500,000 shares of stock
outstanding, approximated $520,
000 or at a y eai ly rate of $1,560,
000. During this period copper
output was 8,028 352 pounds at a
net' profit of 6.47 cents per
pound, On the basis of four mon
ths showings, earnings were at
an annual rate of 62 cents on
a share of stock.
Inital dividend of 50 cents a
snere,was payed last June. Divi
dend policy of the board of di
rectors has never been stated.
In some quarters another pay
ment of 50 cents is looked for in
December, but current rate of
earnings does not seem to bear
this out. It is possible that be
fore the end of the year an offer
to exchange shares for Kenne
cott stock may be made.
Kenneoott holds 45% of Mother
Lode outstanding stock.
