" ' - ' Having come out without a scratch after the initial appearance and pay-ing up our insurance, we are off againl . ,: It didn't make them so mad after all, when one fellow mentioned that we had his name spelled wrong. ' ' "'Ammer, 'ammer, 'ammer on the 'ard 'ighway" Barney Jones speak-ing. "Barney" has several claims for distinction on the hill, for besides be-ing machine shop timekeeper he is secretary of the Employee's Benefit association,' secretary of the General Committee, one of the chief organis-ers and most enthusiastic members of the Utah Copper band, a fireman down town,, and last and foremost, he is a prince of-- good fellows. Barney said the other day that if he ever loses the blue print to the shop he will never be able to find his way out. , , We try not to choose prize fight-ers or gunmen to write up in this column, not that we arc afraid of them, understand, for we have the record of making some few hundred Indians run once; that is, we ran and they ran after us how's that for rWyWAay,hatattrt to say, was that when we choose a fellow for a write-u- p it's our bet that he likes a joke even if it Is on him-self. If he is a grouch and we lose the bet, it's like anything else, all we can do is try again. Kenneth Woods, known to Bing-ham and its suburbs as 4he shiek of the office force, says that he is ready for another One of those banquets tike the office bunch had some time ago. The only objection he had was that the' gravy didn't match his vest. Joe Chicoli, better known to the world at large as "The Sweet Italian Boy," was at one time in the navy. Joe says that he still turns pale at the sight of a bean. It's little known to the home folks but Joe it seems, is about to inherit a cheese factory. To make a long story short, Joe's grandparents back in Italy ran one of these said factories and owing to a surplus of the filthy lucre are about to retire. They make goat cheese, the kind that makes you want, to climb on the roof. Anyway," Joe is going to put in a supply of gas masks and go back and run the thing. Sup- -, pose the next time we see Joe he will be known as the "Count of Goat-cheesea- ." Something rotten here. Sam Feracco, the Rodolph Valen-tino of the track department, says that one could hardly call his Tord "Opportunity ,. for they say that op-portunity knocks but once.

Skinners," Elmer Knudsen and "Mickey" Butler were at the Salt Lake theatre to see a show. The outer curtain went up re-vealing the word ''Asbestos" on the inner curtain.

Tonight will be Salt Lake night, and a large crowd from the Utah me-tropolis will be' in attendance. It will be a gala night, and all are Invited to attend. Many people of the camp have an erroneous conception of the circus, and its motive. The proceeds from the week's gaiety will be given to local charities, and every cent spent will find its way to some cause wor-thy of assistance. Saturday evening will be night and Elks from far and near will journey to the world's greatest min-ing camp, and assist the Stray Antlers in making the present circus one of the greatest successes of the sge. . Don't forget that the shows start at 8:30 and the doors are open at 8.

Local Musicians in Search of Finan-- . cial Assistance for the Buying of New Instruments and Music Saturday night's concert of last week at the Bingham Merc corner by the local band was featured by a talk his listeners to assist in holding the local band together. Speaking at length as to what ben-efits are derived from a local band, the mayor soon made it clear that a town without a band was like a man without a country. The coffers of the band are empty and money is needed ,and must be raised at once. Dan Fitzgerald, acting committee-man on finance stated that the band must be kept intact at any cost,' and suggested that collection be made during the concerts given by this con-tingent of stellar musicians. It is true that a band is needed in Bingham Canyon, and the one at the present time will rank with any in the state, and yet the necessary as-sistance is not forthcoming. Music is needed as is. new instru-ments, the musicians asking naught for their services. Arrangements are being completed to give one concert each week at Bingham, Copperfield and Highland Boy. What are YOU going to do toward holding intact this organization of musicians? , The officers of the band are: Mr. Bailey, Sr., manager; Mark (Barney) Jones, assistant; J. C. Johnson, direc-tor, and Leo Hood, assistant direc-tor.
