The main flume; oft Dixon avenue, reaching from the residence of G. H. Rawlins to the creel it another part of the water department that Was been cared for. The old flume has rotted out, owing to the fad that it is only used during the spring of the year. This new flume is also made of two-inc-h lumber. Probably the most Important work completed during tbk past month is the laying of 400 feet of new cast iron pip from the Markhain water tanks to the Spain line. Part of this section has been equipped with cast iron pipe of 100 bounds pressure1, but the balance wa if wood, and the laying of the new, pipe makes this section of the water department com-plete with 100 po'uridj pressure cast iron pipe tlius avoiding any chance of breakage.' The 400 feet of cast pipe was ptirchaid for the city by City Clerk Franclii Quinn. Mr. Robbins and t)ie city dads ,are to be congratulated .upon the work accomplished during he past month, and it is to be hppid that with the new improvements ater trouble in the camp will be keM to a minimum. ... JL "!k - .. - UTi APEX Ml S PROSPEROUS Rtmarkabla Improvement la Shown at Underground Mint According to Lata Figures. . That the Utah Apex mine is fast becoming one of the potent factors in the mining world is shown by a story appearing in the Salt Lake Tribune of last Sunday in whfch it is shown that the Bingham, mine it making rapid strides toward becoming one of the real producer of the state. In commenting on the Utah Apex the Tribune has the following to sayr Another Utah property which has made remarkable improvement during the year is the Utah-Ape- x. Opening up of large ore bodies in virgin terri-tory in the lower levels of the mines has resulted in the company working 53,567 shifts during the first two months of the current year as com- -' pared with 35,604 shifts for the same period of 1924. Shipments for the first two months of 192S have totaled 67,650 tons; first two months of 1924,! 34,789 tons. About 700 men are being employed, as compared with 300 six months ago. It is estimated March earnings will-b- $175,000. In February net earn-ings were $155,000, and In January $185,212, or $515,212 for the first three months of this year. This is at the annual rate of $4 a share on the 528,-20- 0 shares outstanding. The company is said to have the largest .working capital account in its history, with its only debts, fixed or liquid, consisting of current operating bills. Cash balances cash and 'Unit-ed States treasury certificates, amount to $1,140,000. It is expected accord-ing to unofficial advices from the east, that the dividend of 25 cents a quarter will be increased. Work is being pushed on the 2400 level, with heavy mineralized limestone showing. About half of the ore being mined .is direct smelting product..- . . BUSI7JESS EfiACTED : BY KIIK CLUB Local Organisation Reports Purchase of Equipment for Playground, Meeting Well Attended. The business meeting of the Kiwan-i- s Club held Thursday avtnlng of last week proved to be one of the best of the year, business of much votat im-portance being enacted with unusual dispatch and pep. ' Mr, Jud Shilling, chairman of the llaygrounds Committee reported that much equipment aad been pur-chased for the playgrounds, and was now in transit. A slide, and a bat-tery of five huge swings were two of the commodities ordered. Upon their arrival the members of the club will assist in putting them in position. Much enthusiasm was shown on- - the subject of completing the play-grounds, it being declared that the grounds would be finished in tmu for the vacation period. This was one of the requests made by President H. B. Aven when he took office at the start of the year, and it is the con-sensus of opinion that the playgrounds will soon be completed, and will be one of the best equipped in the state. The report of the underprivileged child brought out the fact that there is much need for Scout work at the lower part of the canyon for the youngsters who live near the play-grounds. Leaders are needed for this work, and those whose feelings are with the uplifting of the boys of the camp are asked to lend their assist-ance. Inter-Clu- b activities are now in charge of Dave Watkins and visits will be made during the summer to many Kiwanis Clubs of the state. The local club is making preparations to attend the festivities at Park City on May 15, when that camp is to receive its Kiwanis charter. .feJESf'W1 iaTtyrsday eve--, ning proves conclusively that Bing-ham Canyon is endowed with orte of the livest organizations in the state. POSTOFFICE TO iVEJATIlA. Everything in Readiness in New Lo-cation, and Actual Moving ., Will Start Saturday Evening. Stop, Look and Listen. ' The Ding-ha- Canyon Postoffrce will move to its new quarters in the Steele Build-ing Saturday (tomorrow) evening, and starting Monday morning at 8 sharp, the people of the camp will get their mail from the new headquarters, so it behooves everyune to be on the alert and not try and force an en-trance in the old residence of Uncle Sam. . , : . Immediately after the closing of the postoffice on Saturday evening at 6, the rush will start, and continue throtiKh Sunday, until the moving is completed. The new Postoffice, which is locat-ed at 412 Main Street was put up by Harry Steele, who was awarded the contract for the building of the new edifice, " ' ' ' Entering the new structure through spacious doors, one is . immediately impressed with the great amount of room afforded in the public lobby. An L on the left hand side of the building will contain two lobby desks, while the letter boxes will grace the left hand side to the center of the back partition On the right hand side of 4he build-ing is found Postmaster Boyd J. Bar-nard's new headquarters, while the money order window, the registry and postal savings window is next. The stamps and general delivery window follows, while the parcel post' win-dow will grace the center of the rear partition, giving ample room for all departments during the rush hours. An important feature of the new arrangement, aside from the fact that people will have more room in the lobby to transact thuie business, is the amount of space behind the par-tition for the working facilities of get-rtii- g, mU ,ih ail.f riant)!; of eooin is afforded the mail clerks and car-riers, which, owing to the rapid in-crease in business made handling of mail in the old quarters rather diffi-cult. . Another feature of the new build-ing, where all mail will be delivered from the stage line to a rear entrance, thus avoiding congestion on Main street and also doing away with al-lowing the public to enter the work room, which is prohibited by the gov-ernment. ... Don't forget that Monday morning at 8 sharp you are supposed to call for your mail at the new Postoffice building.. BflfJD CONCERT IS SUCCESSFUL Musician of Utah Copper Band Heard in Splendid Repertoire at the Bingham High School Playing classical numbers as well as popular music, the Utah Copper band gave a splendid concert at the high school auditorium Friday eve-ning of last week, before a small but appreciative audience. The difficult numbers were well given and the band showed a won-derful improvement over its last ap-pearance, which means that much hard work has been done by the mu-sicians, who, it is said are playing together because of their love for mu-sic, and their effort at giving the peo-ple of the camp really worth while entertainment. The fact that the band has practiced faithfully once a week during the winter proves this conten-tion. To those who think a band is only the blowing of a few horns and the beating of a bass drum, it would pay them well to listen tothc peppy Utah Copper band as it is today, for with-out a doubt it is the best small town band in the state today, and in all probability would compare favorably with big town bands. It is the aim of Director Johnson to give concerts every Saturday evening at the Bingham Merc, corner, which assures lovers of good music plenty of good entertainment during the summer months. An effort is being made to get uniforms for the band, which would add greatly to its pre tige. There isn't a doubt in the world but that a good band is r est adver-tisement a town can have, and it is up to the people of the camp to sup-port this contingent of music makers. At the present time the band is composed of 30 pieces, and several more are fo join in the very near fu-- ! urert"l 4etfl MH-'t-.:- : The personnel of the band at pres-ent is as follows: Director, J. S. Johnson. Clarinets, Messrs. J. S. Johnson, S. Bailey, Joe Kemp, Joe Tome, Boardman. Flutes, Messrs. H. B. Richards and James. Cornets include Messrs. Hood, Earl, Timothy, Slotti and Rawlins. Sax-ophones, Messrs. K. Lemon, Johnson, Baxter and Richards. Alto players arc Messrs. Thomas, Brox, Smith and Martell. The trombones are in charge of Pearson, Buckncr and D. Bailey. The baritone horn is prayed by C. A. Bailey, while the bass horns are in charge of Messrs. T. D. MsGee and F.. Fordham. Drums are worked by Miles McDonald and Vernon Ball, while the bass drum and bells are in charge of M. L. Jones and Mr. Horan. Mr. Hood is the assistant director, with Mr. C. A. Bailey acting as busi-ness manager. Bert Thomas is sec-retary and treasurer, and Mr. Slotti is the librarian. Help the band and you help Bing-ham PLANS FORMULATED : . FOR AmGARAGE Inglesby and Miller of Bingham Stag ' . " Line Start Work on Building One ' ; of the Largest Garage la State. With the eoming of spring, and ,r good weather, Bingham Canyon Is once more sitting up and taking not-ice.' This time the thing of moat im- - ' " , portance is the starting of a new gar-ag- e by Doctor Ingletay and F. A. Miller of the Bingham Stage Line, ' ' ' on the site formerly occupied by the ; , Bingham Garage and Storage, which was gutted by fire In August of last , - -- year. . . The new garage according to plans . submitted will be one of the largest in the state, occupying a frontage of ' 175 feet with a depth of 90 feet, and J will extend from the Marriott and Prigmore blacksmith shop south to the Bourgard property, which wilt . -- take the new building to and includ- - . , ing the space occupied by the Press-Bullet- in before the Wre. Men are at work clearint up the debris of the fire, and also tearing down the old Miner's Union Hall, which was partly gutted by the fire and according to advices, the work of getting the foundation in wit start within the next few days. !; The new structure, which will be absolutely fireproof will care for more than ' 200 cars,' according to present plans, the building to be com- - posed of two floors and a full base- - ment. ' -- r ... ''- Adderley and Nichols, present own-- , ers of the Bingham Garage and Stor-age, for whom the new garage is be-- v ing built, have taken a live year lease, and are making elaborate prep-arations for the opening of the new garage. ', " "' ": r.''t ' In commenting oa the new garage, " Mr. Nichols Vaid, J,Tbis"town has al-ways been under a handicap for stor- - , - . ' age room, and at last we are going to ' bl.ble SSfefrfohjt.tonVe am - to be' abie to care for "better than 200 carsand I am told that the arrangement will be such that a car will never have to be moved after once being placed in its stall.. This as everyone knows, is going to be a wonderful improvement over the pres-ent system used, where every . car must be moved to get a car out." "Chick" Adderley stated that, al-though no definite plans had been completed concerning the system to be used in the new garage, he was free to state that the garage would be second to none In the state, and that service and courtesy would still be the predominating features of the organization. ., ' The new building will have an en- - trance at the north end of the build-ing, which will take one to the base-ment, while the main entrance wilt be at the same location as the old en- - , trance to the burned down structure. Neither Mr. Inglesby or Mr. Miller" would have' much to say concerning the venture, although both were of . the opinion that the new garage ' would fill a want for storage long felt in this community. ' The new building will be ready for occupancy within the next 120 days it has been said. ' ' '' j . , " V " . ijiiElccii : : f 'PLErfsciioiio '".'' Stettar Event at Hemsaell Memorial .

A feature of the eve- - ntng' entertainment was , the fact r ; that the performance started on time, ' i.i , 'and continued with clocklike precis- - ' ion, v v ': " ., - - 'The opening event of the evening , i was a ten minute wrestling match be- - - " tween Young West and a chap by the .

'stepped oft four fast rounds with Kid - " J Sullivan of the Utah Copper. The ' v - ' " first round was about even with both "J ' J J. men taking no chances whatsoever - ' The second and third rounds were V about the same with nothing thrilling V '--' , securing.

T, (Cyclone) John- - ' son, the colored fighter of the ma- - " ' chine shops. This bout, although bill- - ; ed as a semi-featu- proved to be the t real feature of the evening. Johnson 5 put plenty of comedy into the first . round, and kept the huge crowd in - an uproar throughout. That he knew what he was doing at all times was ' shown in the fact that as angry as 'v ' Carpenter seemed to got, he was un- - ' - ' able to reach the fast stepping colored ' lad In the second round, Carpenter, J- i disgusted with Johnson's comical an- - .. tics, decided to punish him, but the 4 clever Johnson always managed to : get out of the way of any blows that f might cause him damage. Johnson's ; 'best work came in the third, when he " showed the crowd that he could out- -' guess Carpenter at every turn of the road. This round was a dandy to , look at with Johnson's clever work easily being the feature. The fight-- 1 ; ' crs mixed it a trifle in the last round, without any particular damage. Ref-ere- e Davis called jt a draw. - Max Glover, Bingham's pride as a i" ' wrestler, was then introduced by John ' ' Kennedy ,as the man who " would r wreRtle to a finish with Hy Argill, ' also of Bingham Canyon. Argill ' showed at the outset that he was a " wrestler of no mean ability, and was m ' ; the aggressor during the early stages 4, of the bout. After seven minutes of ' - xlever wrestling, he pinned Glover to the mat with a combination head and ' arm lock, a hold, he claims to have originated himself many years ago. ; ' That it is a good one was shown in the fact that Glover was unable to : break away from it. ;sv After the rest, Glover came back v with a determination to even the ' score, and in 4 minutes and 55 sec onds he pinned Argill to the mat with a body scissors. , This hold had a telling effect on Argill, who stated ' ' " after the match that three ribs, brok-en years ago, were stilt being favored, if1 and that Glover had found the spot, ' ' and 'he-wa- s of little use after that. ' The last fall was also awarded to V Glover after 2. minutes and ,30 sec-onds with a head lock. Argill was - not himself ,and Glover had but lit tle trouble in pinning him down, j. Boardman refereed this event. . ' The .main event of the evening A """four round bout between Roy Af-- - - , Carty of , Salt Lake City and , Sam Wright of the Electric Shop of 5 ' the Utah Copper ended in a draw.,a,c- - ' cording, o. referee Kjd Davis.,.These " men are light heavyweights and al- - ' ' " ..-::- . ... though the first round was used in feeling out, the second round showed plenty of action, with many hard blows exchanged. This round was about even, although Wright seemed to be the .aggressor. ' McCarty took the initiative in the third round by getting to Wright's face and gave him several real taps on the bugle, pick-ing up what slight shade Wright may have had n the second canto. The last round was even with both fight-ers stepping if at a lively, clip when the bell finished the out. MICKEY'S MELODIANS HERE TOMORROW EVE t J. ' Mickey's Mclodians, those1 clever entertainers will be featured at a special dance which will be given at Canyon Hall tomorrow (Saturday) evening, with festivititj starting at 9 sharp.

Dudley, with Assistant County Attorney Chris-tensen taking care of the county's side of the question, Amrade Buonitos imbibed too freely, according to the testimony, and after becoming illum-inated decided to show the people of the camp what a combination of Hoot Gibson, Harry Carey and Tom Mix would be like, it is alleged, and after hearing both sides of the question, his honor imposed a fine of 50 smacks.

The management of the Canyon Hall .is always on the trail of high class musicians . for its dances, and Tuesday will see the Genial Joe with a grin on his face, and why shouldn't he? Isn't he going to have the Gib-son Girls furnish the music for. his dance?
