Fewer and bigger plants were in order. Mills were built to concentrate low-grad- e ore preparatory to smelting. By 1911, the dozens of little plants had coagulated into three malor ameltlnz corrmanlei. The search for lead mines spread. Soldiers under Gon. Patrick E. Con-nor discovered ore In Rush valley. Mining called for smelting. Almost as fast as mines were found furn-aces sprang up. One of the earli-est was built near Stockton in 1864. It was purchased by I. S. Water-man In 1871 and la said to have been ooeratad successful! for a By W. H. EARDLEY, Manager Mldvafe Plant of United States 8. R. A M. Co. sliver, not gold, not copper NOT Utah's greatest - breadwin-ner. Its prise product is lead. Though you may be awed by the tremendous tonnage of copper from to produce fuel used by lead smelt-ers, 93; estimated number of men employed In Utah to produce scrap iron, lima sand and lime rock used, 45; estimated number of men em-ployed In Utah by railroads to handle freight In and out of lead smelters and mills, 525; total num-ber of men directly employed in Utah to carry on lead smelting operations, 2,080; estimated de-pendents for each man employed, 4.3; number of persona In Utah di-rectly dependent npon lead smelt ing, 8.944. , . Assuming that the number em-ployed indirectly to raise food-stuffs; furnish heat, light, water and amusements; manufacture te goods used and transport and dis-tribute the commodities to the workers and their dependent fam-ilies, is as great as the number di-rectly employed, we may say that nearly 18.000 persons in Utah de-pend on the lead smelting Industry for support. And this does not in-clude the men employed at the mines to produce the ore treated.. lead smelter of the American Smelting & Refining Co. was con-structed at Murray in 1902, the plant of the United State S. R. ft M. at Mldvale in 1902, and that of the International Smelting Co. at Tooele la 1911.-.- ' Flotation is now used In the treatment of lead-zin- c ores by the U. S. S. R. & M. Co., the International, the Combined Metals Reduction Co. at Bauer and the Silver King Coalition mill at Park City. The merging of the smaller smelting companies into larger ones made profitable the produc-tion of ore theretofore too low grade to mine and smelt and ac-tually Increased the demand for workers. This Is confirmed by fig-ures compiled for December, 1935. It places the number of tons of or milled in zinc-lea- d flotation plants at 52,000; tons of charge treated at lead smelters, 31,253; tons of coke used at lead smelters, 4,022; tons of coal used at lead smelters, 1,653; gallons of oil used number of years. Also In 1864, second lead furnace was built at Stockton by the Rush Valley Smelting Co., formed by officers at Camp Douglas. That summer and fall six other smelting furnaces were erected in and around Stock-ton. Some got no further than their trial runs. By 1866 ore was being produced In Little Cottonwood canyon south-east of Salt Lake and the smelters followed, locating usually In the vicinity of the city, where water was plentiful. Lead strikes at Bingham further stimulated smelter-buil-ding in Salt Lake valley. The first to ship bullion was the plant of Woodhull Bros., In Sep-tember, 1870. t From 1870 to 1874 there was an epidemlo of new plants and a steady growth in size and efficiency reflecting the development of new lead mines. Beaver county, scene of the first experiment, came back Into the picture with smelters at Shaunty Springs and Mllford. In one camp you will learn from care-fully kept statistics that lead has surpassed It by 47. During the 71 years from 1S64 to 1935, Inclu-sive, 8,720,459 tons of lead was produced, against 2,535,452 tons of the red metal. Lead ore cropping from the ground gave the first Intimation that this might be a mineral state and lead mining' gave birth to the first smelting operations here. It was In Beaver county, about tour miles northwest of the present site of Minersvllle, In the year 1858, that the extraction and reduction of the metal began. Isaac Orundy and associates dug some ore from what was called the Rollins mine, lnce named the Lincoln. The lead In the rock was ideal material for bullets to shoot Indians. Melting It out was the next task. A crude . furnace was erected by Grundy, Jesse N. Smith, Tarleton Lewis and William Barton. It was the first smelting plant in Utah. i The ball having started, the A business license waiT;i to Bigler and Broomhead, ew! appliance dealers by thetoJ Wednesday evening.

(Continued rrom Page One) Precipitates for half that berth? There's a giant sleeping in there, I couldn't get In." Pullman went to the berth and looked in. There was Lincoln cramp-ed into as small a space as he could get, with his knees under his chin, sound asleep. Plulman woke him up and said, "Say, you can't take all that room. You only paid for half a berth." Lir.coln said "I gave you fifty "But Miss Todd declared Lincoln had a heart as big as his legs were Ion Disliked Prying. Some years before Lincoln was president a New York firm wrote asking him for information as to the financial standing of one of his neighbors. Mr. Lincoln replied, "1 am well acquainted with Mr. .... and know his circumstances. First of all, he has a wife and baby, together they ought to be worth $50,000 to any man. Secondly, he has an office in which there Is table worth $1.50 and three chairs worth, say, $1. Last of all there Is in one corner a large rat hole, which will bear looking Into. Respectfully, A. Lincoln" yk cents for my share of this berth," he pointed to a six inch strip re-maining at the other end and said, "There's the other fifty cents worth." Later Pullman and Lincoln be-came good' friends and had many laughs about their first meeting. As A Beau Lincoln made his first appearance in society when he was sent to Springfield, Illinois, as a member of the state legislature. He wa not an imposing figure In the ball-room. Miss Mary Todd was the mag-net which drew him there. One ev-eni- , Lincoln approached Miss Todd, and in his peculiar idiom, asked, VMiss Todd, I should like to dance with you In the worst way." After they danced one of her com-panions asked mischievously, "Well Mary, did he dance with you the worst way?" ,"Yes," she said, "the very worst."
