In the western and northern areas, the preliminary stages of ex ploration have hardly been reached. Surface study is impeded by huge desert deposits of salt, sand and aluviuin. Millions of barrels of oil are contained in the shale de-posits of northeastern Utah, but no processing plants for the produc-tion of oil from shale on a com-mercial scale are in operation. Unfinished tests, operating or suspended, Include wells from 700 to 4880 feet deep in Box Elder, Summit, Utah, Washington, Dag-gett, Emery and Grand counties. The operators are Leonora M. & M. Co., Longwall Petroleum Co., Ltd.; Diamond Oil Co., Arrowhead Petroleum Corp., Mountain Fuel Supply Co., California Co., Ramsey Petroleum Corp., Columbia Crude Corp., Utah Southern Oil Co. and Equity Oil Co. Roughly, four and cfrie half to five million dollars hare been expended in direct prospect-ing for oil within the state.

Ozokerite, or mineral wax, deposits are found in veins similar to those of gilsonite. A plant for mining and processing has been built near Soldier Summit in Utah county. This is reported to be the only commercialized de-posit of ozokerite' in the United States. In the campaign of development Important expenditures have been made within the state for payrolls and supplies. Operative indus-tries have been formed for market-ing gas and residues. Expenditures continue in the search for Oil. Rentals for leases have been paid to landowners and to the state. Legal and abstract work has been handled by local representatives. Royalties have accrued to land and permit owners. The state owns thousands of acres of land, some of which are almost certain to parti-cipate, if discovery Is made. The lease terms are workable. More than 70 percent of the area of Utah is owned by the United States. Under the terms of the leasing law the state will participate in all royalty payments for production from federal lands. B1NGHAM HIGH NOTES Cyprus it now in first place ti with Granite, Davis and Murray, Joe Friach Which End U the Front End of A Ferrjr Boat. The question, which end Is the front end of a ferry boat has long puzzled many people. Due to this fact, I think I should explain which end is the front end of a ferry boat. Some say that the front end is the north end of south bound boat; others say that the front end is the east end of a west bound boat. But here are the plain facts. The front end of a ferry boat is headed for the place It is goinf, if it isn't going backward. If It la go-ing backwards, the front end ia the other end.

Orchestra" will play, and that means a real music to tickle your toes. Everyone is expected to show his school interest by supporting the team, and this cun be done by at-tending the game. Buses will run for the students. Katherlne Valdez Btntham at Cyprus. Tuesday night, on the Cyprus Pirates' home floor, the Bingham Miners took another defeat, but at the hands of a very worthy foe, for the Pirates are a smooth work-ing agregation. Blr.gham put up a gamej battle, al-though they were beaten by the score of 42-2- Johnny Kosovich, Dee Butters and Ray Grow were best for Bingham. Knowledge Many articles have been written about knowledge in its various as-pects, but the one that struck me very forcibly was a poem I read the other day written by a college student. As near as I can remember it went something like this: The more you study, the more you know, The more you know, the more you forgef, The more you forget, the less you know. The less you know, the less you forget, The less you forget, the more you know, The more you know, the more you forget, So why study! Hosmer Peterson English. 1 lay awake deep into the night, trying to, hoping to, think how the person who invented or discovered languages, (especially English) must look. If it was a man he must sure-ly be a tall gangly, boneless man with stooped shoulders, a pair of horn-rimme- d glasses, and a bald spot right in the center of his head, or he might possibly be a small, nervous man with no hair a all, a will-o-wis- p moustache and a head, much too large for his body. If it was a woman, she must re-semble the film actress, Edna May Oliver, with a high shrill voice that rasped every time she spoke. She would have a large thatch of hair, which would be twisted into a bob at the back of her head. She would surely have a small stool in the corner of the room Cfor dunces) and a large ruler on her desk... Ho-hu- oh Good night. Albert Dunn Coming Lyceum Numbers. Magic- - Mystery! Beauty! Thrills! All of these are promised in the visit of John W. Frye and Company to the Bingham High. The magic-ians were scheduled to visit on Feb. 2, but due to impassible roads, the performance was postponed, and is to be held Monday, February 15. This wondrous performance will astound us with such surprises as: shooting through a living girl, spirit pictures, Doves of Azra, sawing through a girl, etc. etc. One especially beautiful feature is pictures in rags. Mr. Frye puts pieces of cloth together in such a manner as to form beautiful scenes. This is a work of art that should be missed by no one. The performance will begin at 0 in the High School Gymnasium. Evetyone is invited to come. Price of admission for students will be only their activity cards or season tickets. To others, the price will be ten cents. Beverly Clays Year Book Raffle. The Year Book Staff is sponsor-ing a raffle' for the purpose of rais-ing funds for the Year Book. The strike, and other conditions mado the Year Book funds low. The radio to be raffled is a $55 Philco, and is displayed in the Bing-ham Radio Shop.

Year Book Plcturei. Recently, the Wilcox Studios of Salt Lake spent two days on the Bingham" High Campus, taking pic-tures of the students for the yearj book. Of approximately 150 pictures taken, nearly 60 were Seniors, 20 Juniors, 30 Sophomores, and 20 Freshmen and Junior high students. Besides the pictures of the students, plans include also, pictures of the extra curricular activities, such as the Pep Club, the Miners Club Ath-letic teams, school play cast, band, orchestra, Glee Club, Posture Par-ade, Year Book Staff, the Council, and the Opera cast. The Year Book staff is spending; long hours of their own time in working out the Year Book and much credit due them for their ef-fort In striving to make this Year Book bigger and better than ever before Spencer Jacques Grantsvtlle Game. The B. II. S. Miners will play Grantsvllle, Tuesday Feb, 18 at the Bingham High School Gym. The game is scheduled for 8 o'clock. This game was postponed earlier In the season because of the Flu epi-demic in Grantsvllle. The miners stand a good chanew to win if they put up the fight they showed the last half of the Murray game. The Binghamites have four osses and no wins, and Grantsvllle has four losses and no wins, so the game is a toss up, the teams being well matched. The High School student body is behind the team one hundred per cent, and if that counts for any-thing, we have a victory scheduled. Gam Carpenter Boyd Jones Class Enjoys Theatre Party. The Bingham high school Oral Expression class has planned a theatre party to be held Monday evening, February 15 at the Para-mount Theatre in Salt Lake. The purpose of this party is to see the play "First Lady" with Jane Cowell, which will help the class considerably with their work. The party will include Bill Gorls, Marie Condas, Reed Lyon, Anna Bolic, Bill Johnson, Metvin Nord-ber-lone Peterson, and Miss Ad-di- e Wright. William Johnsen Jordan at Bingham. Jordan, our traditional enemy, has keyed up the Bingham Basket-ball players, as well as the entire student body, to the point of Jitters In anticipation for the Jordan vs. Bingham game, February 12, 19365, at the Bingham high school gym-nasium. It promises to be a real bat-tle. The Miners, under the guidance of their new coach, Mr. Alsop, are ready to do their best, and their best they will do-- The Pep Club girls are going to give a stunt. Their new uniforms Vern Faddis of the Utah Power and Light company spent Wednes-day in Tooele.
