By last week, these new operations were fast approaching a fixed-quota yield of 4,000 tons of ore a day. This is low-grade ore, expensive to smelt. But open-pit mining is much cheaper than shaft mining and-more important to smart President Stanley and International's 90,000 stockholders-combination of the two methods will assure an average grade of ore for many a year, will put off the day when even Frood...
