MINING COSTS
n,
NEW YORK, May 18.—President
Stephen Birch, of the Kennecott Cor
poration says the producing cost is
under 10 cents a pound compared with
around 9 cents last year. Questioned
as to the probable life of Kennecott,
Mr. Birch stated that in deep mines
such as the Kennecott, it was diffi
cult to figure the life of a property,
but that there is more ore in sight
now than was originally figured on.
The corporation is opening up new
large bodies in Alaska of the same
character as the 60 per cent high
grade- ore first discovered, and from
present indications the ore looks as
good as it did five years ago.
Speaking about the dividend out
look, Mr. Birch said that any increase
in disbursement depends of course
upon the copper market. Kennecott
has not as yet received any income
from Braden. Demand for copper is
springing up again, and Kennecott is
in a position where it can increase
production when the proper time ar
rives.
Kennecott controls the Mother Lode
Coalition Mines in addition to owning
Braden and approximately 38 per cent
of Utah Copper’s outstanding stock.
Braden has a life of about 70 years
at a maximum production and Utah
about 28 years.
