IV BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH, September 12, 1925 No. 20 Interior of O'Donnell's New Funeral Home - Great Picture at his This Week Jay Hunt Seen in Rule Created On Stage by Frank Bacon Lint In-cludes Biggest Names In PICTURES In "Lightnin," the screen version of the celebrated play which opeiis Sun-day and Monday at the ISIS Theatre Director John Ford has one of the largest congregations of stellar artists ever assembled on a motion picture studio stage for work in the same pro-duction. Jay Hunt, well known in theatrical circles and former picture director, selected personally by William Fox for the coveted role created on the stage by the late Frank Bacon, heads the list in the role of "Lightnin' Bill Jones." Madge Bellamy and Wallace d, both established as popular stars of the films, are cast in the two leading romantic roles. Ethel Clayton, star in her own right and one of the most beautiful women on the screen, plays the role of Mar-garet Davis, one of the featured roles of the production. In the role of Judge Lemuel is J. Farrell MacDonald, who by his ster-ling conception of "Corporal Casey" in the gigantic production, "The Iron Horse," rose to the highest plane oi screen comedians. The villlany is supplied by Richard Travers and Brandon Hurst,two art-ists recognized long t since for their histrionic ability. "Mother Jones" is ably character-ized by Edythe Chapman, without a peer in the character field. Otis Harlan, famed for many clever characterizations, adds a delightful character in the role of Zeb, town drunkard and, loafer. Frances Marion, established as one of the most talented scenarists of the day, prepared the script for the screen version from the play by Frank Ba-con and Winchell Smith. Arrangements are being made for a vaudeville production to be given at the ISIS Theatre on Thursday night that will surpa. anything yet attempted in Vaudeville in Bingham heretofore. Look out for fuller par-ticulars on handbills which will be distributed throughout the camp. Dominic Tappero Dead at Great . falls, Mont. Dominic Tappero, 21 year of age, died at the Great Falls Hospital in Montana, as 'a result of injuries re-ceived in a boxing bout in Butte, Montana, on Monday last, when he fought Billy De Foe, of New York. He sustained a fracture of the skull and was also suffering from acute kid- - , ney trouble. joe Delaney a popular fight promo-ter, of Bingham, acted as Tappero'f manager, and left here with TTippero several days prior to the bout in the copper city. Mr. and Mrs. Mike Tappero on re-ceiving a telegram Wednesday an-nouncing the serious condition of the son, immediately left for the Great Falls hospital, where he died. TINA Precious Metal By. A. Spencer Cragoe, A. M. M. I. Lixkeurd, Cornwall, England The following article on Tin, writ-ten by a native and a resident of Cornwall, England will be read with interest by many in mining circles. Mr. A. Spencer Cragoe, A. I M. M. has had a great career not only in his native land but also in this country. Tin occupies a position midway be-tween the base and precious metals. It has been so referred to and so es-teemed from the earliest ages from thousands of years before the Christ-ian Era for there is no known sub-stitute lor it. No substitute ever is likely to be on the market at a commercial price.. The world output lor the last five years averages 120,000 ''long" tons (of 2,240 pounds) in round figures. The great "slump" of 1920-2- 1 carried down the price, but prices and output during the last two and a half years have again recovered, and in both cases are now normal. Output Declining Nevertheless, whereas this output lor the year 1920 was 137,000 "long" tons, for the year 1924 it was but 132,400 "long" tons. A decline, there- - lore, in five years of 6,200 "long" tons. In this five-ye- ar period, the fall-ing off in the supply from the rich alluvial deposits of the Federated Mal-ay States tfhd the Dutch East Indies, the joint production from which dur-ing the last generation has supplied anywhere from 60 to 70 per cent ol the world's total tonnage, has become accentuated, whichever way the figur-es are "wangled." The decline set in before the war, the richer gravels being for the most part exhausted. The slightly increased output from the next largest producer Bolivia responsible for 15-2- 0 per cent of the world supply, does not begin to off-set the falling-of- f in the East. Potential Area Limited Geologically tin is associated with the older if not the oldest granities; and perhaps barring gold it is the most "deep-seated- ," presistent at depth of the metallic minerals. The potential area of supply is, therefore, exceedingly limited. No nev mines or fields of any conse-quence whatsoever have been discov-ered since the Nigerian "boom" of 13-1- 9 years ago. And Nigeria upon the whole has been disappointingly most disappointing, if the truth be told. Over its whole vast area it does not yet supply, is scarcely likely to supply ten per cent of the world de-mand for this most requisite unetal. U. S. A. Chief Consumer This demand principally, is from America: for the great canning and other allied industries; for the making of bronze, etc. For the year 1924 just past, the world production was thus disposed of in round figures: U. S. A 64,000 "long" tons Europe, etc 04,000 "long" tons Far East 10,000 "long" tons 138,000 "long" tons America there fore the U. S. A. took no less than 60 per cent of the total, after deducing the small East-ern requirements; and her demand steadily increases. So, also, does the demand from Europe and from the East, upon balance. In all three mark-ets there are, of course, seasonal "ups and downs." Stock Also Declining The-ti- n market is so "managed" that it is .most difficult, at times to grasp .the true position from week to week, or even from month to month. The year-en- d figures, however the then "visible stocks" of all descrip-tions give the true and the exact statistics. ' . As at the end of December, 1920, these stocks were 44,000 "long" tons. Four years later the end of 1924 they had shrunk to 23,000 "long" tons. The likelihood seems to be that they will shrink still further. - Price Climbing Always The price consequent upon the above facts moves steadily upwards. For the last two or three decades of the nineteenth century, it averaged, say, 90 sterling per "long" ton; from 1900 until the World War, 140 ster-ling per "long" ton; present day, over 250 sterling per "long" ton. Among those who know, a price, it is considered, of nearer 300 per ton will rule, for several years to come.' At any figure however above 180-20- 0 (less than four-fift- its present price) according to circum-stances and local conditions, tin min-ing, almost anywhere, is highly prof-itable. A quite astonishingly larger ratio or proportion of tin mines are steady dividend-payer- s, as compared with other ' metal mines. And, furth-ermore, the average rate or percent-age of the tin mine dividend exceeds that derived from any other classes of (Continued on page four).
