PAGE SIX OF MANY Nun-uuiu- n pro-j,os- COMING FROM CARBON DISTRICT FOR IRONTON COKE Notable among the events ol' the past year was the belching of smoke on April 30, 1024, from the find blast 's furnace of the Columbia Steel plant at Irontun,' says last Sundays Salt Imke Tribune in an article reviewing the doings in Utah for tht? juist year. It was the first actual demonstratoin of the practical application of Utahs enormous iron resources to industrial production. This smoke from tliht first blast furnace sjielled development the opening of the era of industrial development fur Utah. As to the Columbia Strcl corporation, the ojrening of operations com-jiany- represented an approximate expenditure of $7,(100,000 in the developments at Irontun and at Columbia for the eolting coal and at Iron Springs for the hematite iron ore. Production tells of present achievement and foretells future advancement. The Columbia Steel is now producing about ten thousand gross tons of pigiron per month, most of which is shipped to and consumed at Pacific Coast points. In addition, there ia a production of approximately four hnndred tons of furnaee coke eaeh day, wenty-fohundred gallons of motor bensol, .thousand pounds of sultwenty-fou-r phate of ammonia, about eight thousand gallons of tar and eleven milium of gaa. subi Columbia Steel as a forerunner of other industries is evidenced in the g establishment of the Republic of an at expenditure company from $300,000 to $400,000. Part of the corporations gas production is consumed by the creosoting company and tiie Utah Valley Gas and Coke. All of the tar is sold to the ereosot-in- g peojile. The motor bensol and sulphate of ammonia are marketed east and west of Salt Lake City. As a demonstration of the utilization of Utahs raw materials, the Ironton jilants consume daily about seven hundred and fifty tons of iron ore, eight hundred of coal, a hundred and fifty tons of limestone, twenty-fiv- e of silica of tnaganoc, twenty-fiv- e rock ami ten tons of sulpliurie acid. ur et Creo-sotin- OFFICIAL SEES BIG THINGS AHEAD HERE RAILROAD Strengthening of the Denver and Rio Grande Western's position as a carrier of transcontinental traffic to better serve in the development of Utah and Colorado is the aim of that railroad. J. R. Pycatt, new president, said last Tuesday on his arrival in Salt Lake City. The line, with its jiroent financial stability acquired through its ownership by t be Missouri Pacifie and the Western Pacific, is prepared to provide transportation service in keeping with the constantly increasing development of this state. I have bran much impressed with the magnitude of the states coal drjmsiU and the present activity of Utah eoal he asserted. Utah, with its vast coal resources, is a very fortunate state, indeed. The Denver and Rio Grande Western, in guvening transportation service, intends to keep ahead of the certain growing needs attendant to the further development-othis great but singlp phase of Utah's natural resources. Pyeatt, who is making an inspection tour of the railroad properties with operating and traffic officers, was not in a jioiiion to discuss any fnture plans in that the present trip is his first over the ptcm. The new presi-- 1 dent comes from th Gulf Coast lines having been connected with thnt property us its president for a number of years. The Gulf Coast was recently aquired by the Missouri Pacific, owner of si half interest in the Denver and Rio Grande Western and also the Utah Fuel Comjiany. Pyeatt is accompanied by Henry McAllister, general counsel; Fred Wild, chief tralfic officer; I. II. Luke, general manager; Arthur Ridgway, ehipf engineer; W. J. O'Neill, general mechanical sujcrintendcnt; A. C. Rhit lds, engineer maintenance of way, and S. M. Kerns, sjieeial representative.

Roberts ia glad to report that the labor difficulties at the Weber and Grass Creek mines have been adjusted and that both of these are now working full force every day, says the Coalville lice of the 2d. The men at the Weber property agreed to increase their efficiency sufficient to offset the decrease in wages jirojiosed by the comjiany, thus guaranteeing a reduction in the cost of jmidurtion. And, in the event they fail tor accomplish this they agree to automatically fake the reduction effective as of February L 1325. The emjiloyes at Grass Creek nceejited the lowering in wages with the proviso that the company pay a bonus jier ton in all cases where the company elects to employ three men in one working place. It is also gratifying to know that sufficient tonnage orders have been received by Roberts to insure many months employment to the miners, and we are just opti-inilenough to believe the future holds for us a sufficient demand for the mines to continue to operate with an ever increasing jirodurtion. io Hearings Have Begun.

Our task will be to extend the eope of its use, and continue the betterment of the property with all funds above fixed charges which can thus lie made available, which is one that is going to require a good deal of help front the public we serve.

Early realization of this dej lends largely upon the and helpful suj friendly jxirt of our friends and j Microns in Utah, where a substantian jwrtion of our revenues must be earned. I have no misgivings about our being given such supjxirt if we warrant it, but with the splendid jihysical condition of the property as it now exists and a morale in the organization which I believe to be unequalcd, I have full confidence in our ability to demonstrate, to anyone who may be doubtful, that we do and will deserve it.

There was a juahetlc parting with Nellie Wymuu, and sad hut hopeful Ned found himself aboard an ocean steamer headed for the antipodes. It was smooth and pleasant progress until the Arcturus ratne within five hundred utiles of her destination, the city of Melbourne. A terrific storm arose und crew and passengers were hurried to the lifeboats. "No bnggnge allowed I" announced the captain of tlie steamer sternly, as Ned started to euter one of the boats, his precious Invention and Its operating accessories in the leather case. lie was bound to save bis machine, whatever came. This decision prevented his retting into the lifeboats. At last s lurch of the steamer sent him nearly overboard. He seised s ssfety plank and with It dropped Into the water. Antld the high waves and the blackness of the night he drifted alone across a fathomless stretch of waters. Almost famished and perishing from cold and exposure, tha next morning at daybreak Ned waa washed ashore. Revived and encouraged, he was about to line the coast, hoping to come apoa some settlement, when with hideous yells there burst from a near thicket a score or more of dusky, half-aaka- d as vs ges. Nad waa bound hand and toot, placed upon a litter and carried through what suggested an Intsrmlaa-M- s jungle. After twelve hours of steady tra taking they reached the royal palace, it seemed. At least Ned was carried within the structure, where upon a gaudy throne aat a thick-lippegreased and painted aavage. From the hungry way In which this rubicund monarch viewed him, Ned decided that he would soon bo roasted and eaten. The curiosity and Interest of King Obi, however, were next fixed upon the leather ohm that contained device. the He ordered It ojtened. Then he began fingering the cogs and wheels of the machine. The clicking as he turned the crank tickled his childish nature. He glanced at Ned, bobbed his head and grunted, as If to say: What Is thlsr Ned bobbed vigorously, as If assenting to show the king what the machine could do. Ills bonds were cut. He set the device In position, filled the sdd receptacle and taking out the glasa that held the water Indicated by motions that It lie filled with water. Then Ned turned the crank. All hands In the royal court watched him raptly. Their eyes bulged as at the end of eight minutes he drew out a pound cake of Ira.

Hut once his royal highness cooled the drink at his side and enjoyed Its rare freshness, he virtually npjioluted Ned Ice jwrveyor to the crown. Ned knew that his life was now surely safe. For a week he catered to the jialate of King Obi. Then the sulphuric acid supply ran out. Ned to Obi that he would have to go to the nearest settlement to replenish it.
