S. Gymnasium boys in a game played here on Tuesday even-ing. The game was a fast one and at times it looked as if the visitors might become victors. At the end of the half the score stood 13 to 13. The Utah Cop-per boys, however, got busy in the final half and demonstra-ted their superiority. Wheatly Williams and Knudsen did good work for the home team. L. D. S. Gym. G T. F. P.

When the price of lead reached a point above six cents" per pound with a strong upward tendency, considerable apprehension was expressed through fear of ' a "runaway" market, followed by a reaction in price that would more than counterbalance the benefits derived from the high figures. The so-call- ed runaway market contemplated 8 cents or above for lead, but now that that level has been reached, little; is heard of the anticipated and feared reaction. Thi3 change is explained in the fact that the rapid rise in the price of the metal has not been a runaway, but rather a natural response to the steady increase in the de-mand for lead with no corres-ponding increase in production. According to authorities on lead, there is now an actual shortage of the metal which is being sup-plied to some extent by importa-tions from Mexico, the high price making this possible in spite of the tariff. At the same time the ... price of lead in London is cor-respondingly high and the de-mand for Mexican lead in Europe will tend to prevent importation of an over-supp- ly to the United States. The high price is hav-ing a buoyant effect upon mining operations in the Bingham dis-trict, and the outlook for lead mining could hardly be more fav-de-nt with the advance in lead, the price of foreign silver is showing unusual strength. This taken with the efforts in con-gress and by silver producers to stabilize the "price indicates that ' the reaction following the com-pletion of purchases under the Pittman act may not be as ser-ious as anticipated. ! WILL IVIOVE MORE L ; DIRT THAU PANAMA i Figures Regarding Magnitude of Utah Mining Operations ' i ;. "Will you kindly answer me . the following question: Will the working of the Utah Copper ; mine involve the moving of more K capping and ore than was actu-all- y handled in the excavation of material in the construction of the Panama canal?" Yes.' Answering this question the ;; ' Engineering and Mining Journal-Pres- s says that according to the new international encyclopedia, i 232,353,000 cubic yards of earth ' was excavated in the building of , the Panama canal. According to the annual report of the Utah Copper company for 1921 the to-- . tal quantity . of material cap-ping and ore removed from the property to the end of 1921 , ! was 145,000,000 tons, so that at the present time the balance is heavily in favor of the Panama canal. However, Utah Copper i3 still a young mine. Ore re-- " , " serves were estimated at 362,- - 910,000 tons on January 1, 1922, which, added to the quantity of ' ore already mined, 91,697,600 tons, would indicate that the op-- ! erations at the Utah Copper mine will easily surpass the Pa-nama canal in size before the deposit is exhausted. In fact, when the hundreds of thousands of tons of capping that remain to be stripped are considered, the total is much more than twice the amount of material that was moved in building the Panama canal. In making this compari-son, 1 tons of rock or ore is taken td be equivalent to one cubic yard of material removed r- - -- . from the Panama excavations. Razing a Mountain. Iu many ways the working of the Utah Copper mine is just as spectacular as the construction of the canal. A mountain is be-ing razed in Utah and a route for the canal had to cut through many treacherous topograph- - cal hindrances, from hills to swamps. Both enterprises have added greatly to the wealth and . progress of the world. Bingham Society Mr. and Mrs. W. II. Wood-rin- g spent Monday and Tues-day in Salt Lake City.

HE LIKES BINGHAM Impressions of Bingham by the young son of James Devine, Warden of the State Peniten-tiary, may prove of interest to ' our readers : Early Saturday morning I left Salt Lake for Bingham. On ar-- . riving I found it much warmer. - Bingham is not much of a big town, only a main street, but it is certainly some town for a mining camp; as for myself I hope to be living here some day. I went and saw the Utah Cop-per mine and saw more interest-ing things there than I have ever seen in Salt Lake City in all my life. I wish to thank you kindly for giving me this opportunity. ".

Experts from the United States Bureau of Mines will visit the Ohio Copper Mine in the near future and will make a detailed study of the Company's leaching plant. Results indicate that this Com-pany's novel project, that of leaching huge low grade ore de-posits in place will be a great financial success. This process may revolutionize the mining of low grade copper, especially in mines where the operating costs are so high as to make mining unprofitable. The Ohio Co. are however in a better condition to operate successfully as the whole of the plant is un-derground, and the water runs into the leaching boxes from crevices on the surface. It is estimated that it will take at least twenty years to leach the whole of the property, and by that time leaching can be gone all over again, according to experts.
