THOMPSON I ----------------------------------- WEST JORDAN Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Holmes moved to St. George last week to make their home. Eric Rundquist of California spent part of last week visiting at his father's home. Miss Gwen Dimond of Magna is spending the week visiting at the home of her aunt and cousins, Mrs. Zelia Holt and Fae and Evelyn. Gwen is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur W. Dimond, formerly of this community. Mr. and Mrs. Ben McAllister and small daughter, Sally Ann visited with Mr. McAllister's parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. McAllister, Thursday of last week. Mrs. Caroline Roundy of Salt Lake was a dinner guest at the home of Mrs. Luella McAllister on Friday. She also visited with Mrs. Verne Gardner and Mrs. Clinton Gardner. Mr. and Mrs. Rodger Rundquist and family have moved to Santa Monica, California, to make their home. LaVerne Dixon has accepted an invitation for his band to play in the parade on July 24 in Salt Lake City. . Miss Ethel VVebber returned Wednesday of last week from a 10 day visit at Magna with her two sisters, Mrs. Roy Heath and Mrs. Seth Bailey. Mr. and Mrs. John T. Booth and family, Theodore, Vuelta, Ard<:l and LaPreal, accompanied by Miss Lottie Brown of :Murray, spent Saturday at Grand-Daddy Lakes. Returning home they visited Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Richens at Henifer. Mrs. Clyde Oliver of Bingham, formerly Miss Margaret Webber and her three children spent four days last week visiting at the VVebber home while her husband was on the Salmon river fishing. And like most true fish stories he re· turned with a large number. On Friday of last week Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Olson were very pleasantly surprised by a visit from Mrs. Olson's brother and his wife and family, R. L. Howard, manager of the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company of the VVashington District. Mr. and Mrs. Howard reside at Yakima. On Wednesday, July 14, a large number of people from the VVest Jordan ward took their families to Lagoon and enjoyed the "Old Folks Annual Outing," along with the elderly people. At one table for dinner and supper were seated 48 of the old folks and their committee. It was a lovely cool day and all seemed to enjoy themselves although one couldn't help missing the several members who have passed away since the last year's outing. At the Work and Business meeting last week some of the ladies worked on a quilt, others enjoyed the singing practice, while an- improved methods of concentration give hope for revival of copper production in the se localities. In recent years exploration and development have tended to concentrate in the vicinit y of the Horn Silver. Evidence that ihe rich veins of this mine reach out along the borders of a great monzonite uplitt which broke through the sedimentarias, has induced the ownl3rs of the King David and Frisco Silver-Lead to spend thousands of dollars in sinking and drifting. At the King David, six mineralized veins, striking toward the Horn Silver, have been penetrated by a long crosscut to the north on the 750-foot level of the main work· ing shaft. The most promising leads are being developecl through a raise. Further wes t on the same zone, within less than 300 feet of the surface, the Fri sco Silver-Lead has opened shoots of high-grade silver-lead ore from which mnny shipments have been made to the smelters. The breccia, or "shear" zone, 4200 feet in length and 500 feet wide, makes directly into the Horn Silver and apparently has secreted many veins and deposits of pay ore in its fractur es. Norlb and south of the Horn Silver activity is manifest in min es along a fault contact where the fault is crossed by east-west veins.

F. RASMUSSEN as the Quadmetals, Is credited with a total production of nearly a mil· lion dollars. Reduction or their ores has always been a problem to many of the mines of Beaver county. The primitive lead furnace of Isaac Grundy was succeeded by a num· her of little smelters whose charcoal kilns served their turn until bettered railroad facilities made transportation to the large centrul smelteries practicable. Frisco, at one time, had two smelters which were o.l)erated whim water was available. At Newhouse a 1000· ton mill reduced the low grade cop· per ore to a concentrate during the boom days of the camp. For each ounce of silver Beaver has mined nearly 20 pounds of lead. Figures on non-ferrous metal production from 1860 to 1934, Inclusive, record the lead at 453,422,708 pounds and silver at 23,354,296 ounces. Copper trails with 53.946,296 and zinc with 42,123,360 pounds. Gold, ln the same period, was valued at $995,818. The combined value of the five metals totals $55,684,038, derived from a,. 173,918 tons of ore and concen· trates. In 1930 the Beaver cou~ty dis· tricts earned $489,155.
