to earlier deliveries made temporarily out of inventories, resulting in metal
losses which offset the metal gains usually realized from scrap intake.
During the year the lead refinery and related plants of International
Smelting and Refining Company at East Chicago, Indiana, were sold. A long
term contract was negotiated for the refining of lead produced fro the Montana
operations of Anaconda Copper Mining Company and the output of lead bullion
from the Tooele plant of International Smelting and Refining Company, both of
which had formerly been refined at East Chicago.
Operations at the sulphide concentrator and lead smelter of Inter
national Smelting and Refining Company at Tooele resulted in profits of
$530,017*14, as compared with losses in 1945 of $338,442.26, an increase of
$868,459*40 in operating Income. Volume of operations at these plants in
creased over 50#, and there was a decrease in smelting costs per ton of lead
bullion produced. Costs of refining lead bullion under the contract with
American Smelting and Refining Company, referred to above, were less than those
formerly charged by the East Chicago lead refinery.
Increases during the
year In the market prices of lead, zinc, silver and copper were also a factor
in the increased profit at Tooele.
The balance of the increased profit
at Tooele shown on page 4 is accounted for principally by the elimination of
the 1945 operating loss of the copper smelter which wae shut down throughout
1946.

Miami, Arizona The smelter at Miami was down fr >m April 23d until November 17th, when operations were resumed to treat the accumulated concentrates shipped by the Miami Copper Company. There were treated during the year 104,654.28 tons of concentrates and purchased ores, from which there were produced 50,818,557 pounds of fine copper, 120,897.19 ounces silver, and 1,258.185 ounces gold.
International Lead Refining Company
The refinery at East Chicago, Indiana, treated 7,974.68 tons of lead bullion from the Tooele Plant, and 3.268.31 tons of purchased ore and bullion, from which there were produced 20,683,128 pounds common lead, 914.875 pounds antimonial lead, 2,612,959.96 ounces silver, and 9,020.993 ounces gold.
Anaconda Lead Products Company
The plant was shut down from March 15th to October 16th. There were pro duced during the year 4,601,553 pounds of white lead; sales amounting to 5,559,418 pounds materially reduced the stocks on hand. The plant is now on an operating basis of about 20 tons of white lead daily.
Walker Mining Company
Mining operations except development work at the Walker Mine and mill were discontinued throughout the year. The ore reserves at the end of the year were esti mated at 900,000 tons, averaging 4.2% copper, carrying also values in silver and gold. The tramway to Spring Garden was completed. There are on hand at the mill more than 7,600 tons of concentrates, assaying 19.76% copper, 7.46 ozs. silver per ton, and .19 ozs. gold per ton, which will be shipped to Tooele when smelting operations are resumed.
Arizona Oil Company
During the year the Arizona Oil Company produced 328,574 barrels of oil. Pro duction was lower than in previous years, due to a strike of employees throughout the California oil fields, resulting in a temporary close-down of practically all companies operating in the Bakersfield district. Dividends of $13.70 per share were paid, your Company receiving $111,792.00 from this source.

Andes Copper Mining Company Curtailment of operations at Potrerillos went into effect at the beginning of the year, and in consequence the development work done was less than that of the previous year.

Anaconda Lead Product* Company
At East Chicago, Indiana, there were produced 15,290,364 pounds barrelled white lead, and 79J21 pounds pulp lead, all of which were sold.. The plant is now operating on a basis of 25 tons daily.

Operations at the mine and mill were resumed on May 22nd. At the mine, ore broken amounted to 54,482 tons. At the concentrator there were treated 38,652 tons of ore, averag ing 5.62% copper, producing 9,716 tons concentrates, averaging 21.08% copper, with a recovery of 95.59%. Shipments to the smelter amounted to 16,779 tons concentrates, and 3,046 tons crude ore, averaging 11.6% copper. Construction at the concentrator to bring the tonnage up to 275 tons per day was completed, and it is the intention to further increase the capacity to treat a reasonable proportion of ore newly developed.
Arizona Oil Company
During the year the Arizona Oil Company produced 379,690 barrels of oil. Due to the bringing in of a large number of new wells in the State of California by various com panies operating in that State, the stocks of unsold oil were greatly increased, with the result that prices rapidly declined. This condition had a bad effect on the earnings of the Oil Com pany and, in consequence, no dividends were disbursed during the year. On the other hand, the low price of California fuel oil has been a benefit to the International Smelting Com pany's smelter at Miami, Arizona.
Andes Copper Mining Company
Operations at Potrerillos during the year 1922 were confined to mine development, operation of testing plant on both oxides and sulphide ores, advance of tunnels on La Ola pipe line, and miscellaneous work.
Development There was no churn drilling done during the year, but the work was confined to enlarg ing and finishing the main adit, driving of haulage levels, defining known ore body, and checking drill holes by upraises and drifts. The results were highly satisfactory, the drifts frequently disclosing ore of very much higher grade than that indicated by the drill holes originally bored.
