No Wine In Bingham We read in the Bible, "wine was made to (make the heart of man glad," or something to that effect. During the past two months there has been lots of grapes brought to Bingham, and miaybe Jots of them have been turned into wine. There are many It-alians In the Bingham district who in the days before Prohibition made and drank wine which they Aiade from grapes, the biggest percentage of these persons are those who toil in the mines of Bingham for their daily existence, with the thought in mind they would still be permitted to make wine for their personal use, when officers knew grapes were being bot for the manufacture of wine, no ad-vise was given these people as to what would be done. Now the raid-ing officers have arrived in camp, ' headed by the County Sheriff and with search warrants in their posses-sion are out for the cleaning up of Bingham, and district of all the wine now in the possession of these people. To take away this wine from these parties seem worse to them thantak-in- g away their bread, as . most all Italian dishes we are told have some wine introduced when they are being cooked. The people of the Bingham Italian colony are admitted to be the bt'st workers in the mine of this camp, and without permission to be able to keep wine in their possession for their personal use there are possibili-ties they may move to California or other parts where it is claimed they are permitted to keep wine for their personal use. For a raiding officer to walk into a cellar and find a fifty gallon barrel of wine therein there is no reason to think these people have started a wholesale liquor factory, as the wine can only be made from fresh grapes, and can only be made when the grapes are in season. With, the law-abidi- Italians amongst us it would sea i a crime to deprive them of a glass of our wine after they return from work, and in the inter-ests- of the community it would be far better we think if the matter was more thoroughly gone into and in-vestigated as to its merits. contemplated $4 annual dividend and accumulate a cash surplus in addi-tion. 'Wot only has the company its capital stock from 150,000 shares to 'BO.OWHBhares, largely-b- y purchases in the open market, but j there is thought to be less than 10,- -j 000 shares of available stock for trad-ing purposes, the remaining being very closely held by those who have no present intention of selling. "The company is more strongly for-- I tified than ever before in the matter of mining territory, recent acquisi-tions having greatly strengthened its frnineral potentialities. The ore oc-currences are such that it is nothing unusual for net earnings to flutuate $20,000 or $25,000 a month." BINGHAM MINES COMPANY REMAINS PROSPEROUS The Bingham Mines Co., has given out its operating profit of the com-pany for the past nine months of the year to exceed over $400,000 or over $8.00 per share', on the 50,000 out-standing shares. The company is op-erating mining property in the Lark side of the hill, also in the Eureka district. The following statement giv-en out by the company will be ap-- ; predated by the stockholders of this flourishing company. "Earnings for September were in the vicinity of $50,000, which compar-es with $70,000 in August. The ex-( pectation is that during the remainder, of the calendar year net profits will average about $50,000 a month. This would result in net profits before de-preciation and depletion of $550,000,! or $11 a share, against $270,000, in I 1924. j '1So long as lead continues strong at around its present price of 9 3-- 4 cents a pound, the Bingham Mines! company can easily afford to pay its men need much publicity as they are wiell and favorably known in our midst.

"THANK YOU" WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH AS ,WELL AS WEEP John Golden Stage Success Furnishes Fine Basis for Screen Play Alec Francis in Lead A rural drama with pathos and rumor perfectly blended is "Thank You," the William Fox picture ad- - , apted from the John Golden stage play coimdng to the ISIS Theatre Sunday and Monday. ."Thank You" ranks with "The Old Homestead," : . "Way Down East" and other classic dramas of the village-dif- e variety that are so dear to the American heart The plot revolves around a small-town New 'England pastor who is forced, because of his inadequate sal-ary, to accept the left-ov- er viands and an occasional scuttl of coal from his parishoners. And all he can offer in payment is to say, with his most courtly manner: "Thank you!" There is a love story running par-- allel to the other, adding the glamer of romance to the pathos of the pas-tor's characterization Aflec B. Francis has Ihe principal charcter role, that of the Rev. David Lee; he gives perhaps the best in-terpretation of his long and success-ful screen career. He lends a whim-sicality to the part which at times softens the almost tragic note of the story as it affects him, George O'Brien, hero pf the epia "The Iron Horse," also is the hero of this picture or rather he shares "hero" honor with Mr. Francis. Mr. O'Brien is the dashing young sweet-heart of the pastor's niece, played most fascinatingly by Jacqueline Lo-gan. In the' all-st- ar supporting cast are George Fa(wcett, James Neill, J. Far-re- ll MacDonald, Vivian Ogden, Edith Bostwick, Marion Harlan and Frankie Bailey. John Ford directed. Looking Forward . V J , sK0idV1 THAT BiG fiT'J TOO big iA J ONCtL MAKE A Fl MOWLl YOU I E AND UTAH-APE- X STILL DISPUTE OWNERSHIP The ore dispute which has arisen between the Utah-Delawa- re Mining company (formerly the old Highland Boy) and the Utah-Ape- x Mining com-pany has not yet been settled, the offers of one party being rejected by the other. Underground developments on the disputed ore body is necessary in order to demonstrate ownership. In the absence of such development, the Utah-Delawa- re cannot ' and does not make any positive statement of own-nersh- ip 'and states that Utah-Ape- x likewise cannot properly in the ab-sence of more definite information make definite assertions as to its rights in the controversy. The underground work, which has been jointly agreed to by both the companies, is now under way. We can state that it is not the intention of the Utah-Delawa- re company to bring a lawsuit unless it should be forced to do so in order to protect its rights in the premises. It is said that offers to buy and sell have been made by each side in the controversy Utah-Ape- x offering to buy Utah-Delawar- claim to the property for a sum understood to be over $200,1)00, Utah-Delawa- re count-ering with an offer to sell foi a sum in excess of $500,000.
