It is not just an old house in Europe that is but the tumbling, skyscrapers of Western civilisation which cannot be warmed, lighted or maintained without continuous functioning of the economic machine. America may have the luxurious penthouse apartment on the top floor, but we are not going to be comfortable up there in isolation if the elevators stop running, if the telephones and radios go dead, if the lights svitch off and the heat stops coming to our radiators from below.

Hy the hundreds of thousands they appear before the bars of justice. Is it not quite clear that something is amis with a social order which produces miscreant in such large numbers? Is it not appearant that society has failed in their regard? New Ophir Mill . The Why and the Wherefore and Whatll Become of It" All Why is there so much unemployment and so much massed poverty in the world, and especially in this, the richest country the sun ever shown upon? It is because this nation, and all nations, have forgotten the Creator and the immutable laws of nature, as well as the great moral iheals that time has pronounced good. Consequently Nature simply struck itsbalance sheet on all sides; wars and rumors of wars; distressof peoples and of nations; and general confusion and commotion. Everywhere there is a feeling of depression; all things appear to be falling apart, and nowhere is there human strenght or wisdom to paevent it. No human being appears able to find a solution that will solve. The truth is that the present system of ruling, which began in ancient Babylon 2320 years ago is at an end Its day is done Mankind is at the end of a cycle, or an age, which will go out in great convulsions and cataclysms. The nations are but plucking the bitter fruit of all their past iniquities and stupidities. The awful weight that is upon the world is but a matstructure is being destroyed and ter of evolution; an thrown out to make way for a New Order, which is to be known as the Order, or Kingdom of the Golden Rule, World Should Make Beaten Track to Utahi Deer Theodore Dreiser, who recently visited in Salt Lake.Vemark-e- d to Borne of the local writers about as follows: This city is so beautiful and the valley surrounding it so lovely that I mar-vthat the world has notjheard more about it. On my tnp to Provo I saw more natural beauty than I have seen in many a day. What is your Chamber of Commerce doing? This will yet be agreat scenic center.1 How true! Why have not weTJtah peoplo done something big and great that would cause the world to make a beaten path to our doors? We do not appreciate the beauty nor the resources we have. The upper crusts go about with their minds wholly set on how much money and profit they can make out of their fellows. The masses are so badly broken economically that they go with heads bowed and worrying, missing all the glory of this wonderful state. Lei's do something about it. out-wo- rn el Spiritual Rootage Being Destroyed The grass roots of civilization jare spiritual even more than they are economic or political, and civilisation is being uprooted snd languishing in theworld today because muchjaf its spiritual rootage has been destroyed. In'grced we have denuded the forests, ploughed up the hillsides, destroyed the earths natural coverage; and Nature has struck back with floods, soil erosion, dust, storms, and similar consequences of civili- zation's disobedience to her commands.

Smeltera to Salt valley, aided by the United States bureau of minee station at the University of Utah have taken s lead in metallurgical development and their combined efforts have done mnch to maintaining Utah as the leading mining and ameltlng area in the world. Smelters find lt neceaaery to eet aside e certain amount of their revenue for metallurgical research. Aa a result lpiprovementa ars continually being made In the recovery of metals. These improvements are passed on to the miner and often result to material savings to them, which helps in maintaining the mining Industry of the state and in bringing to ores from outside states. One of the most Important development! of recent years was selective flotation. Prior to the development of this type of metal recovery the miner was penalized for sine contained in ores. Now miner la not only paid for the zinc, bnt Is paid for a higher percentage of ell metals contained in the ores as the result of Increased recoveries. The above photograph of the newly constructed plant of the International Smelting A Refining plant at Ophir, which was placed in operation last month, is a concrete example of what haa hap pened. The plant was erected for the purpose of treating approximately 400.000 tons of tailings from the old Ophir Hill Consolidated mill. The old mill which was op erated prior to 1925 tailed to catch all the metals In the ore and much of the valuable metals passed to the tellings pond. The tailings are estimated to contain 2 per cent lead, per cent copper and a few ounces sliver to the ton. The Ophir plant was erected at a coat of $130,000 and will furnish employment for 35 man. Erection of the plant has also stimulated activity at other propert lea la Che Ophir region. th- - |
