Show THE CITIZEN Weekly Mine And Oil Review MINE ACCIDENT8 INCREASE DURING THE YEAR 1922 way beyond all prewar records and at 130,000,000 pounds a month is more than double that of corresponding months a year ago. The United States consumption in 1921 was 615,000,000 pounds and in 1920 it was 1,250,000,000 pounds. Today it is running at a rate of 1,500,000,000,000 pounds, although by reason of very unsatisfactory in the first few months of this year the 1922 consumption may not exceed 1,200,000,000 pounds. To be sure, coincident with current heavj meltings of copper there must be taken into account a refinery output running above 160,000,000 pounds a month. Exports continue to average about 60,000,000 pounds a month. In the face of the poor export demand such has been the enormous use of copper in the United States, stimulated by its low price, that we have cut down the surplus to under pounds, and it was 750,000,000 pounds no longer ago than April, 1921. ...Fatal ..accidents in Utah mines were materially increased for the year 1922 over what they were for the previous year, although the number of men killed is still considerably less than it was a few years ago, showing conclusively that mining is gradually Statistics becoming less hazardous. regarding fatalities have been prepared. by the mining inspection division of the state industrial commission. It is stated that both metal and coal mine fatalities reflected the increase over the year 1921. This year up to December 1st there were 1,592,061 shifts worked in the metal mines and a total of but twenty fatalities for the first eleven months, while last year with 1,194,046 shifts worked there were hut ten fatalities. In the coal mines a similar increase in the number of men killed in accidents is shown from 3.67 fatalities per 1,000,000 tons of coal produced to 4.80 fatalities per 1,000,000 tons of coal mined this year up to date. . con-dition- s 300,-000,0- resume operations. It is understood that Manager J. B. Allen and Secretary J. S. Grace, who were in Salt Lake this week, have arranged the details for resumption of work at the property. It is also understood that plans for future development work have been fully decided upon and that a new board of directors has been proximations. That an excellent record has been made by the big Tintic producer is upon analysis of the figures submitted to stockholders by President and General Manager E. J. self-evide- nt named. It is anticipated that the Glenallen will be worked on a more extensive scale and a broader plan than heretofore, which envisions another producing mine for the Park district in the near future. It is said that ore, in quantities, has already been uncovered only awaiting systematic development to make a big mine. The section of the district in which the Glenallen is located is said to be teeming with great possibilities and under Mr. Allens personal direction, big developments are expected for this property.

The healthful condition of the company and the profitable results of milling and shipping operations are reflected by the cash reserve held in the treasury, amounting to $547,453.67, including $127,990.67 for taxes and after payment of the current dividend of $117,470.

In most of the mining districts of the west the years 1921 and 1922 will go down in history as lean periods, due to the general business depression, but because of the fact that Tintics mines are primarily silver producers there was no slowing up of production in this district. Our mines closed 1921 with a total of 8,133 carloads of ore to their credit and figures which have just been compiled show that the present year, so near its close, will compare quite favorably with the previous one, says the Eureka Reporter. mines were in total of thirty-fivthe list of shippers for the year 1922 and the amount of ore which these properties have produced up to this A - Keep an Assortment of LAMPS lira Your Momne It is very convenient to have several electric lamps ready for use when an extra light is needed or when an old lamp globe burns out. ; TINTIC DISTRICT SHIPS AMERICA IS CONSUMING BIG AMOUNT OF COPPER. d our properties have been mining would not have paid its way on account of the high mining costs which now exist. The repurchase of silver, by the government at $1 per ounce, has given silver mines a measure of prosperity which they could not otherwise have enjoyed. Unfortunately the time is quite fast approaching when the metal must be sold at a lower figure and it remains to be seen how well our mines can weather through. The Chief Consolidated mine leads the list of shippers for the year 1922, which nearly 2,400 carloads over forty carloads for every week in the year and the Tintic Standard is a rather close second. Other heavy shippers are the Eagle & Blue Bell, Victoria, Grand Central, Iron Bolssom and The tragedy of the humorist is that he must be humorous if he expects to live and dying is not humorous.

When during the war copper soared to above 30 cents selling at over 35 cents in February and March, 1917 the competition of substitutes started in dead earnest and much of this competition continued for a long period after the war. In order to recover ground lost to cheaper substitutes it became necessary to go after business in fashion, backed up by appealing literature and publicity. The result is today the consumption of copper in this country is far and 00 11 e date is about 7,900 carloads, or approximately 400,000 tons. Without a doubt the salvation of the silver mining districts, such as Tintic, has been the Pittman act.
