The National army and many organizations of the Nation-al Guard having been equipped with the United States rifle, model of 1917 (modified Enfield), It" became neces-sary to devise some plan whereby troops could be efficiently trained In the use of this weapon In short time. A statement authorized by the ord-nance department tells how experts In shooting, many of them members of United 8tates teams which won Inter-national shooting matches', were com-missioned and sent to various camps to Instruct officers and men lrt shoot-ing and In the operation and care of the rifle. In one camp officers under Instruc-tion from these men gave a demon- - stratlon In dismounting and assem-bling this rifle while blindfolded, the recordl time being 7 minutes for dis-mounting and 22 minutes for assem-bling. There are 80 parts to the rifle, chanlcs' classes, the mechanics being hanks' classes, the mechanics being; trained to make repairs to rifles In the field. Frequently they will have to do their work at night, when they will not be allowed to use lights, nnd there-fore they must be thoroughly trained In taking down the rifle and putting lu ww parts by sense of touch. Communal kitchens are being estab-lished throughout Great Britain and are proving successful In saving food and fuel, according to reports to the department of commerce. An article from a recent Issue of an English newspaper Is quoted: "The war has brought home to the public that the communal or national kitchen Is a necessity and can he made a success. Within a compara-tively short period there will probably be Installed many hundreds of these establishments throughout the coun-try. The national, kitchen was origl- - nally Intended to supply poor people with nourishing and attractively pre-pared food at low prices, but there Is considerable pronpect cerjnltvty, In fact thnt the more prosperous will form a fair proportion" of the custo-mers. "As an example of the ontflt of a people's kitchen that at UammersmlMi (London) may he taken na a model. This supplier about fl.OOO customers a week, which probably represents 12.-00- 0 t 15.000 consumers as a ensto--' mar commonly purchases for his or her family."

It ceems he was walking down the Cop-perbelt. line when suddenly he was ' struck by a push car running at the rate of about 75 miles an hour. Ac-cording to the story the brakes re-fused to work on tha puah car and those who were operating same had jumped from the car farther up the grade to savf their own lives, it dashed into Galligan and mangled his body almost beyond recognition. John Galligan was 74 years of age nnd had lived in Bingham the post 10 years and was employed by the Den-ver & 'Rio Grande as watchman. He was an old friend of the late Mark Twain and Judge C. C. Goodwin, and la mentioned in Judge Goodwin's book "The Wedge of Gold". He lived at Virginia City, Nevada, when these noted characters were in their prime. BODY 0F MISSING MAN FOUND ON ROADSIDE Gulseppe- - Saiionioso, who had been . . ! missing from his home here "fof ''two week, was found dead on the roadside near Cuprum last Sunday afternoon by some boys who were playing on the I mountain, side. The alarm was given and the body was later brought to the undertaking establishment of ODon-ne-ll & Co. The body was badly de-composed and one ear and a thumb had been eaten off by rats. A post-mortem examination waa conducted by Dr. P. S. Hageman which establish- - ' ed the fact that death resulted from a fractured skull. On the person of the dead man was found $55.60 and f some other personal effects. Sanamoso left home on the evening j of April 11 and told his associates that he waa going to Cuprum to pay a bill at the meat market. When he did not return that night no special attention was paid to the matter, as It was thought perhaps he had spent the night somewhere else in the camp, but when he failed to show up next day it caused some uneasiness, and later searching parties were sent out In-quiry at the meat market brought out the fact that he had not been there. The road to Cuprum was carefully searched and also efforts were made to locate him at Salt (Lake and Ogden. From the circumstances that Santamosa In making his trip to the market did not go the usual : route of iravel, but went by the upper roadway and at a rather steep place , on the. mountain side It ts thought that " V he fell and ttruck his had against ' a rock. There Is no suspicion that he' met with foul play as none o'f his personal effects were taken. And the fact that he was not known to have any enemies In the camp It was not thought that he had been murdered He was 33 years old and was a na-tive of Italy, me was an employe of the United States mines. (He is sur-vived by a wife and one child; who ve in Italy. The funeral service was neld Tuosday afternoon from O'Don-ne- ll chapel in Salt Lake, and the bur-ia-l was in Mt. Calvary cemetery. BINGHAM FEATUR-ED 1ft MAGAZINE Representatives of the Western Magazine were in Bingham Monday to secure data from which to write a special feature story on the extent and the fullness of patriotism in this " camp.' ' The attention of the publishers of this magazine was attracted to 'Bing-ham by articles appearing In the PressHulletin of the great amount! this camp had contributed to the for the prosecution of the, war and the many ways in which it had displayed its patriotism. The fact that a great many visitors to Bingham within the last few months have held this place up as a model for other communities has caused unusual at-tention to be directed to Bingham, and now the "Old Reliable" Is to be fea-jture- d In a magazine of national circu-- j lation the place up as she really is, and other towns will be asked to strive to enr.ulate the exam-ple she has set before the world. In times one by thU town ras had publicity which was not of the most favorable sort and other sections of the country were Inclined to regard It as a r ither undesirable place In which to live, but facts cannot always be moth-re- d and th call .f the war has brought to tigh th U that this t.vn. as a great i.ritor stated a few weeks ago. is the most "patriotic spot In Awrirfl. The magar.ine writers were highly pleased with Bingham and what they saw and heard here. 'Bingham is a town with a foreign population of over 60 per cent but all nationalities have been welded into one for the common good since America entered the war. And as it now s all work In harmoiif. This is one of the places which has always its quota to the ''.Iherty Bonds, and in the campaign now under way has more than three limes subscribed the amount the gov-ernment asked. The magazine did well in sending its representatives here because there is probably not another spot in America where better data for a story could !have, been obtained. BASEBALL IEAU: t WORKING HARD (Written for The Press-Bulleti- The boys of the Aprx team of Bingham had two more workouts this week and 'Manager DeLaney sure thinks they are going to come acrons with some classy stuff this season. ! AVlth our old catcher, Otto Burke, bshird the bat and Kd SThaw and Ole Jensen in the box they make some haUery. Art Sorenson will cover first bac again this year,' and Society Red will be across the lot on third. Backed up by old 'Bill Kruglier at short, Andy King will cover the second sack, and they claim it will be impossible to ve a hall through that Infield. And If by any chance they do we fetlll have isome outfield. ( The fans nevd have no fear of the sun as we are gol.ig to have a top on the grandstand, an-- i are making ar-rangements to try nnd have the stages run to the games. Mr. Delaney ta trying to get the Marine team of Salt rtke out for the opening game. May 12, and this team is composed of stars from all over the country. The opener promises to be a thriller. The boys will practice again next Sunday. I STAGE LINESJCONSOLIDATE The Star and Culver stage lines, ops-ratin- between here and Salt Lake, have buried the toinyhawk and smoked the pipe of peace, and will hereafter be operated as a aingle line. This will cut out the .keen competition which has exlated for some time and also the, industrious rustling for pas-m-gers., Furthermore, there will prob-ably be a little 'greater margin of profit as there is to be a small raise in the price of tickets to and from Salt (Lake. The Star and the Culver lines in the past have been rather hostile to each ether and thla hostility was mani-fested in more ways than cne, but now peace and- - quiet prevails, and one etage line will handle all the business. COPPER PROOUCTIOK IN UTAH - FOR MONTH OF LMRCH 'e . - . ! . . , Figures compiled for the production t copper In Utah for the month of ' . March shows a substantial increase over the same period hud year, the i ,., . following account of which will be of i. interest to many people. ' ,'. n .The March output of the Utah Cop-- . .per company showed an Improvement of over B.uOO.Ovo pounds from the sub-normal operations in February. The , total nilm output for the quarter end-ed March 31 waa 41,780.000 pounds in the form of concentrates, which com-- r ; pares with 42,866,000 pounds in the : .:. ,, same period of 117, a decrease of , something over 1.000,000 pounds. .Utah's sister property, the Nevada :! Consolidated, for the same three - months' period produced 18.JilO.000 pounds, against '18,851,000 pounds In . j. . the corresponding period of 117. v.-- :- . ' ft la very evident that, with mount-- , log coats and heavy exces profits .. taxes, the margin of safety protecting , the dividends of these two companies ta none too large, in fact. It la diffl-- ' cult to see how Nevada Consolidated can continue paying U present div-idends of 84 per annum - without en-croaching upon profit and loss sur-plus. One has only to go back to the statement of Nevada Consolidated for the December quarter to find that there was a deficit after dividends of 1426,353, and this waa before any allowance waa made for excess prolita taxes. With an allowance of 5 per cent for fcmelter losses, we figure that Utah Copper, in the first quarter of 191U, produced 39,800.000 pounds of copper and that Nevada Consolidated In the name period outputted 18,000,000 jxtunds It would be unsfe to estimate UUh Copper's cost at less than 13 cents per pound. Including war taxes, and, likewise, Nevada Consolidated s cost should be placed at not less than 15 cnts per pound. With these esti-mate-the following calculation as to profits for the first quarter of 1918 re-sults: Utah Copper Estimated smelter output. 39,800,000 ixjunds; cot per pound, including taxes, IS cents. Profit with copper nt 23 12 cents, $ t,179,nn0. Nevada Consolidated Estimated smelter output. 1Mmi,l) pounds; cost per pound. Including taxes. 15 rent. I'roflt with copper et 23 rn?s.

THE TOWN UNO COUNTY S HAVE SEVERED RELATIONS The town of Kingham and the coun-ty of Salt Lake have severed diplo-matic relations, so to speak, and the county representatives at the town hall have been handed their passports. It has bcrn known for some time that feeling between the two organizations was very Intense, but the diplomatic j break came as a surprise to a number of people. I Ordinarily a severance of diplomatic relations is followed by a declaration of war, but in this case there is a pos-sibility that peace may be maintained. dleretofore the deputy sheriffs have had their headquarters in the town 'hall, but they hnve now taken ni tem- - iporary quarters in the ilium & Winter I building In Carr Fork.
