It is most tunate that the University is situated in such surroundings and .that the men in the field realize that the industry caii only prosper in trying to encourage the best ' talent. The following men have met with the students: C. A. Lempke superintendent of the Midvale plant of the United State Smelting, Refining and Mining company; W. E. Engleman, su- -' perintendent at Magna; Carlos. Bar dwell, assistant superintendent, International Smelters; R. A. Wag-staf- f, assistant manager, Utah Department df American Smelting and Refining company; A. B. Young, International .assistant manager. Smelters; W. H. Eardley, ore buyer, United States Smelters; Dr. D. A. Lyon, supervising engineer of the United States bureau of mines fntermountain station. The University of Utah has every facility to' equip students of mining and metallurgy and allied' subjects and with help such as these men can give there is every reason to believe the school of mines will 'become' the best in the United States. . . . Operating data of many months standing can now be cited to show improved results with powdered coal not only in melting iron but also in the operation of copper refining and in reverberatory finishing for nickle. The heat enters the metal more uniformly than gas or oil, and better flame control gives a better quality of product. Copper consumers are to be pro- tected by trading in copper futures if the plans of Erwin Vogelsang, president of the Metal Exchange of New York, has his plan accepted. Buyers will be able to protect themselves against violent price ments in a manner never before possible, it is said..

Progress in the two headings is averaging about ten feet daily with the exception that at times work is slowed up on account of water. This will be remedied by the new pump. is Development of several mines Coinbeing carried on in the Free age district in the Stansbury Mountain range, west of Grantsville, Tooele county. The Utah Bunker Hill Mining company has acquired the old L Marie Mining company and the driving of a tunnel has been resumed. A compressor is being installed and the adit advanced in a southerly direction to cut two east-we- st fissures at their intersection with a north-sout-h contact. The Falk Mining company adjoining the old Third Term mine is advancing its tunnel as is also the Utah Stanbury Apex and several other prospects in the North Tem-pi- e Canyon. A number of leasers are to start work in the Rexal, Columbus Con- solidated and other properties of the Mineral Veins Coalition company, according to Manager A. O. Jacobson. It is also planned to run a drift northeast from the fourth level above the Rexal tunnel to cut the Cardiff contact and open the downward extension of the West Toledo ore body. This is to be undertaken because conditions are said to be well nigh impossible on account of water. . i The Zinc Metal producers met recently in Saint Louis and voted $300,000 for research and advertising to better market conditions for this particular metal.
