NEW MINING ACTIVITIES IN BINGHAM TERRITORY. - Recent incorporation of t!:e Bing-ham " Standard Mines Company to operate the Lone Pine Group has caused widespread interest in mining circles. Thje properties of the Com- - pany lie just over the ridge south of Bingh,.m in West Canyon and repoita from nationally known goologiatfi show this mine .o be hig'.ily morali-zed with a high grade lead-silve- r ore of typical Bingham Those w! o have een the liiine-- state thr.t it is one of t'.'e most valuable yet dis-covered in ' he Binghpju sec Lion, iu. during large returns .o the holders of th9 stock of the Company. 1'ievelopment work at the mine is progressing s'eadily. A 300 foot tun-nel has disclosed the presence of wo intersecting porphry dikes proving conclusively the origin' of a larg? body of valuable ore. Speaking on t'.'is subject, Mr. C. T. Van Wlnke, cne of the mo.'.t eminent mining Reolo-?ist- 9 in the Uni'ed S ates, who has .horoughly examined the property on two different occasions, stys: "The fact that the ore, commercial la qual-ity, has occurred along the prophry contact 1? distinctly encouraging The solutions have evidently emanated from a larger body of porphry of which this dyke is a part. If the limes In the mountain become more soluble, a3 is indicated. this ore should bed out in tie very large bodies of lead-silve- r ore." , It is a well known fact that the yearly output Urom Utah's mines reaches approximately $75,000,000, of which the Bingham district produce 63 yer cent. Stockholders of 'ho rain-ing companies In 1927 received about $15,600,000 in dividends. These fi. gures give ample proof that mining is responsible for the prosperity of Utah. Mr. W. J. HflL sales manager of the Bingham Standard, states that oppor-tunity is being given the public at this time to purchase a limited block of Bngham Standard srock at 15c per share, each share being protected by a bond guaranteeing the investor the retulrn of his monjey.

Mr. Butlt Hocking was at the microphone for his first appearance and ' astonished the listeners with his natural ability and remarkable cear ' enunciation. Mr. Oover, the regnar ; asnoiincer for K S L paid Burt a very high compliment saying he would be glad to have him come down again and take the microphone any time. I . COPPER LEAGUE IN TIGHT i CLINCH. j As we go to pre38 he Copper Lefgue j is in a tlghi clinch. Thre3 of the , teams, Arthur, Magna and Midvale are j tied for t'e top position and Copper is trailing by a small margin. Arthur j and Copper are playing now In a i gaooe that will almost decide the rr.ee j tor these two teams. Should the mill taam win the Copper would be Just j about out of the running and which, j ever team that .wins t?e Magna and Midvale game would be wry out lu front if Copper should win. All in all we are picking Copper and Magna to win the Wednesday game which will put Mcgna on top and Copper a short bit behind them On Sunday when Alrthur and Magna play Copper will have a chance to go to the 'top by a win over Mldvle while we predict that Arthur will he beating Magna. The dope is hard to figure however and we may miss all of our guessea. We're guessing anyway, the most we can do is to be wroeg. It wouldn't be the first time. Copper has ran against some splen-did pitcsing and are most certainly in. no disgrace by losing their last gams by such close scores. Jay Lott, Mag-na portsider, is buring the league with his chucking. Lott hss only allowed the opponents the sum of 8 hit 4 iu his last three gamee. SIme recor J to beat. Sunday Magna and Artsur are Bet for a game at Magna and Copper and Midvale will tangle In the Smel-- tefr city. I OUR MODERN AGE As we drift along In this modern age we become absorbed with the idea that tho intelligence of today's populace ig far above the Intelligence of any previous age. That in this day of wonders people are superhuman compared to the folks of yore. We perhaps never stopped to think that the life we now lead is so much more simple than it used to be that there is hardly r. chance for failure. Nearly any objective can be reached by simply pulling the string or press-ing the button. Whatever we want in life, we just PU8n and get it Whether it's music, someone to talk to, something to see, to warm, to cold, something to ride in or what not, all we have to do is to press the button and "there you are,"' just as natural as life and twice as big. Do we really believe we are jmart or "Is ths the day of the dumb?" roegy minded folks cry out In the appeal that the great machine whic'j has made life thlg war Is to complicated and that it does too muh for us. The old school has been born In the day and age of work. Work which has been the curse of of mankind. It has been to abolish this corse that the ma-chine has been constructed by man. To be sore the constructors are not so dumb as the people who live by pressing the button. But who cares about that? We never worry why our car starts when we press the button. What does it concern us why matches come out of a slot when we pat in a nickel. This is the life of the simple. '. t When yoa get Into your car and prea the button yon nevar ooncern your, elf with the thing that makes yon travel. If ft stops rov drtre into a garage and go and buy yourself a glass of root beer while they are fixing it, To don't hare the slightest Idea where the beer comes from either. ; Neither do; you care. We don't wish to burden our minds with "what makes the ma-- Chine go " In fact we don't have time. We are jest too busy having a good time. ' " ' . This is indeed the day of the dumb. No matter how dumb we are we live a thousand times better than outr ancestors. By pressing the button we live eleaner, and more wholesome than we ever did. , Women don't make their own soap, bread, lights, fires and washing aa they used to do. Men don't plow, shovel or work aa they used to. A trip to the city that used to take week is now accomplished in 2 hours by pressing the button and It will soon be made m one hour by everybody by pressing the button.
