1 in 1965. The principal acquisitions during the year included four new 2,000horsepower
locomotives, and 26 new 40cubic-yard dump cars. In addition, to facilitate
the expansion of the mine to the south, four 65-ton trucks were purchased
for use in mining above the established rail-haulage system. 
 Significant quantities of byproduct gold, silver, and molybdenum were recovered
from copper ores milled at the Morenci concentrator. Limestone mined by the
company at the Morenci quarry was used as a smelting flux and in manufacturing
quicklime for metallurgical purposes. Near Morenci the company quarried sandstone
for use as a smelter flux. 
 The project to relocate the town of Morenci was continued with the construction
of a new hospital and shopping center. At yearend, 50 new houses for employees

were nearly completed and ground had been broken for another 50. Plans were
dev~ioped for a new theater, library, and business office complex to replace
similar structures in the area encroached upon by the mine. 
 Oldest of the three active branches, the Copper Queen Branch accounted for
22 percent (3.6 million tons) of the copper produced by the company. This
property consists of the Copper Queen underground mine and Lavender open
pit, which produced respectively, 386,000 and 3.2 million tons. In addition,
approximately 13.9 million tons of waste and leach material was removed from
the Lavender pit. The ratio of waste and leach material to ore moved in 1967
was approximately 4.38 to 1, compared with 4 to 1 in 1966. The increase in
stripping ratio resulted primarily from the development work connected with
the
