Three days of glorious fun and a chance for the old timers to live over the days that to them will never have an equal. Talked to some of them and they were telling me of the sport-ing events of the past. About the special train they ran from Bing-ham to Murray to see the Jack Dempsey vs. Jim Flynn fight where Dempsey was knocked out in one round. About the great ball teams of the past when Bing-ham had its own city league, star pitchers of the past, Ed Shaw and Ollie Jensen, Herb Gust as an infielder. Herb, by the way is the father of a couple of good ball players. Met Joe Delaney. Joe was both a fighter and later a promoter, staging his bouts in the Princess theatre. Talked about Johnny Woodmanse, a very good light-weight and Dominick Tappro, one of the gamest boys to come out of the mountain empire. An old timer told me about a fight held in old Smith hall when Atha Williams, the town marshall, climbed into the ring and told both fighters they would have to give the customers a better run for their money or he would throw them both in jail. I'll bet the fights' fans would have liked that to happen in some of the bouts they have had to pay good money to see in late years. Yes, good old days of the past, they are gone but as long as we have Galena days they won't be forgotten. Now for the present. The In-dustrial league season was sup-posed to have ended last Sunday when Provo beat Brigham City 5 to 4, which is what Hy Facer, the president so ruled, but the board of directors had other ideas. It seems that Brigham had failed to play off a 7 to 7 tie game with Magna. The Millmen notified the Peaches that the game would have to be played before the 10th of September and set a date of Friday the 12th. The Peaches neither showed up or did they notify the Magna man-agement according to the reports. So the directors ruled that this game should be forfeited to Mag-na, thus throwing the Peaches and Helper in a tie with 10 wins and 6 losses, a game to be played by these tow teams on a neutral field to settle the championship. If the Brigham crew refused this ruling then Helper was to be the winner and would open the play-off with Provo who won the first half on the "Tirnps" home grounds Sunday, September 28. So what the final out come will be, we don't know. Bingham high plays their first game of football under the lights Friday night in a feature event of the Galena days celebration. Haven't had any word as to what their opponents have, but it is to be Millard high school of Fill-more, a team they have met twice in the semi-fina- ls for the state championship, so a real game is to be expected. This will be Bingham's final test before the league season opens and Coach Santistevan has been work-ing his charges long and hard. He reports that up to date he has no casualties, so he will field his strongest line up. So have a good time during Galena days Will see you next week I hope. AL O SLIDE SMOTHERS BINGHAM HOME A broken pipe line opening into a waste dump of the Ken-neco- tt Copper Corp., was credit-ed with starting hundreds of tons of muck cascading down a dry creek bed in Freeman gulch early Friday morning, nearly destroying a home seconds after a couple and their three children fled to safety. Not yet asleep after giving her son his early morning bottle, Mrs. Lovell Rey-nolds, 44 Freeman, heard a grind-ing sound and felt the house shaking. She awakened her hus-band and snatched up the baby. The eight-foot-wi- stream of waste materials rolled 200 feet down the mountain, hit the creek bed and followed it for 1000 feet before hitting the Reynolds home. Mr. Reynolds aroused the oth-er two children and the family fled to the street. Just as they left the homej the oozing muck struck the garage, then turned over to the house, crushing the walls and floor of the parents' bedroom. An estimated damage of from $3000 to $5000 wps done to the five-roo- m frame house as a play-room and a storeroom in the rear were completely destroyed, in-cluding all of the foods canned by Mrs. Reynolds this fall and the children's toys, leaving ap-proximately five feet of muck inside. The family was given refuge at the home of a neighbor, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Pollock. They moved Friday night to the home of Mrs. Reynolds' parents in Sandy. j CENTENNIAL GALENA DAYS PROGRAM ' THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 25 1:00 P.M.

Santistevan's Miners in the Jordan B division football race this year, but the Bingham crew, nevertheless, goes on night shift Friday night. Occasion for this shift in time is installation of a new lighting! plant at Bingham High School stadium, which will match any prep gridiron in the state. Workmen were busy Wednes-day winding up the final touches on the wiring installation and a test scrimmage was held Wed-nesday under the lights. o "THE OLD TIMERS" V In this place called Bingham Canyon Came old timers seventy niners. They were Bingham's early miners Some were young, some were old. Some were prospecting for silver. Some were digging and panning for gold. Not knowing their dreams some day would be told As the world's largest Copper mine. They so patiently started to unfold And the great riches it would some day hold. We give thanks to those old seventy niners, Bingham's pioneer miners. Who worked hard even though some were old But that didn't stop them from digging, or prospecting, or panning for gold. Not knowing of the famous Copper mine which was in store. As we see Bingham Canyon's richest ore. That's why no one will ever forget the old timers Those great hard working pioneer miners, Bingham Canyon's seventy niners. Original poem by Delfina C. Valdez WOMEN'S BOWLING Despite the high team series bowled by the Bingham-Ette- s, they split two games with the strong Pabst Blue Ribbon team at the Ritz Bowling lanes Tues-day evening.

INJURED MINER DIES IN SALT LAKE After being peppered by par-ticles of dirt and rock from a sprin" hole blast at the Bingham properties of Kennecott Copper Corp., Monday noon, Joseph Toribio Lobata, 55, died Tuesday at 5:45 a.m. at a Salt Lake hos-pital. Apparently Mr Lobato, a first helper in the drilling and blast-ing department, walked in front of a spring hole on the D level of the mine just as the explosive was discharged, company offic-ials reported. He was given emergency treat-- j ment at Bingham, where he was conscious and seemed to have received only minor injuries, as no heavy materials were carried ' by the blast, officials said. Thet exact cause of death has not been determined. Mr. Lobato moved to Farming-to- n from Las Tables, N.M., last winter and after oeginning his work at the mine in February, he resided in Bingham. He was born in Los Tables March 22, 1892, a son of Michael and Ursula Gutierres Lobato. Survivors include his widow, Rubesta Gallegos Lobato, Farm-mgto- n and two sons and a daugh-ter.
