On August 1st the bill, Jhich had been introduced by ment Con-pessm- an Hayden of Arizona, passed house, and on August 15th the senthe measure. ate voted in favor of miniClaimowners, according to most ng men who have studied the bill, will have until 12 oclock noon of July 1, 1922, to complete assessment work for From that time on the year 1921. work should be performed by noon of jnly 1st of each year instead of mid-igof December 31st, as formerly. the At the time of the passage of till through the house opposition to ht legislation stated that the sole motive of the measure was to grant an additional six months for the completion of assessment work for the year 1921. This, however, was denied ty members of the committee on mines the proposed mining, and Congressman Hayden, who showed that the committee vas forced to choose between exempt-ta- g and claimowners of assessment work for the first six months of 1921 or extending the time six months. The latter method was chosen. The main argument in favor of the bill has been that it affords claimowners an oppor-- ; two tinity to perform the work of yjiars in one at a time of year when the weather is most propitious. The tut of the bill follows : 'Sec. 2. That Sec. 2324 of the Reused Statutes of the United States be uiended by adding the following t the period which the work required to be done annually on unpatented mineral doims located since May 10, 1872, including such claims in the territory words: that Provided, within shall commence at 12 ftlock meridian on the first day of Alaska, r0f Jjly succeeding the date of location cl such claim, provided, further, that such valid existing claims the December 31, ttnual period ending W21, shall continue to 12 ian July if 1922. oclock who are working on the ?Perty of the "L Marie Mining Co., cated In the Stansbury mountains kwest of i Grantsville, report having an JJde important strike on the ,'en claim of the property.

Conley of Green River, president of the Union Oil company of Utah, that plans are being made to finance the company for the purpose of completing a well drilled to a depth of twelve hundred and fifty feet on a synclinal structure east of the San Rafael Swell.. The Carter people have closed agreements for three leases on the Carbon-er- a structure miles north of Mack, Colo. A well is to be put down, it is said, to the shallow sands. twenty-tw- o The drill of the Big Six at Moab has been in continuous operation the past two weeks.

The ore body has not yet been encountered, though high-grad- e ore is being taken out every day from the Iron raise, and is being saved and sacked. The Iron raise, where work is being prosecuted, has run up into a shoot of pyrite. which crosses over the tunnel at a point rbout 13,400 feet in from the portal. The upward slope of the shot is to the west and the ore is coming in at the highest point. Progress has ent of the various Tintic properties of this corporation. Mr. Allen assumed his duties on the first, of the present month and it is generally understood that some new development work has been mapped out for the Iron Blossom and Colorado mines. In both of these porperties there is a large amount of undeveloped territory and some of this will receive attention. Efforts will be been retarded by loose ground and a heavy flow of water. . The wonderful granite of Bonanza Flat of the Park City district, is being quarried and shipped to one of the Salt Lake monument firms. Thirty carloads are being shipped, and many of the blocks already marketed were as fine specimens of granite as can be found anywhere in the world. It is suceptible of the highest polish. Len P. McGarry has the contract for hauling the granite, and some twenty-fiv- e men are employed' in quarrying and maiketing the stone. fine-graine- merid- i Leasers Information has reached Price that the Dutch Shell is soon to take a rig out of Castle Gate to the Duchesne country. 11 d made to encourage leasing. Notwithstanding motor troubles which closed the two mines for four days, the Eagle & Blue Bell and the Victoria finished the month of August with a total of 111 carloads of ore to their credit, this being the best month in more than a year when judged from a tonnage standpoint. But for the burning out of the large 25 horsepower motor during a recent electrical storm, the record for the month would no doubt have exceeded 130 carloads. The Western Monitor, located over in Iron canyon, has been assessed cent a share, payable immediately. Stock will become delinquent on October 17th, and sales day will be December 12th. This is the twelfth assessment on the capital stock of the one-ha- lf company. DEFINITIONS.

What are thou but a swiftly lowered lid, A flash of color A shrewd dissembling which prevar- icates? For here is ardor all too thinly hid. ing. Activities in the mining fields of Nevada are increasing, according to F. M. Manson, president of the Western Ore Purchasing Company, Reno. For the first time in many months prospectors are starting out. This means business. All of the mines I am interested in are either operating at normal capacity or preparing for increased activities. There is a full face of quartz now showing in the northeast drift on what-iknown as the 1,600 level of the Iron King property in the eastern end of the Eureka district, and officers of this company are expecting commmercial values almost any day. The showing is so encouraging that Superintendent N. W. Roberts has put two shifts at work in the two drifts on the 1,600 level, the other drift being sent off toward the southwest. Discretion.

For the last two weeks of the month of August the shaft was sunk on an average of about twelve feet daily and for twentyeight days the crew had a record of 337 feet of completed shaft to its credit. During the week the new shaft passed the 700 . level and work is to continue that but simulates? indefi- nitely.
